The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Kong Jingxian held an eyebrow pencil and traced the shape of plum blossoms on the wound on the corner of her eyebrows. Behind her, a maid named Qian'er held a jade dressing box and casually reminded: "Mother Cui who is next to the princess has just come, and she said that the princess invited me Go girl."

"Didn't you say that Concubine Han came to pay her respects to the princess today? I won't bother the royal family for now—has the elder brother come back yet?"

Qian'er replied: "The uncle went out today, and was invited by the third son of Lord Wei, the admiral of the Nine Gates. The princess said that Lord Wei is the son-in-law of Princess Ming Le, so he has to show some face to the Wei family."

Mr. Wei is also a man of gentleness and martial arts. He has become an admiral of the Nine Schools. His background and talents are not insignificant. However, when people mention him, they should first call him, Lord Consort, and then, Mr. Wei.Kong Jingxian sneered, and said casually: "Where sister Yu is practicing now, have you ever found out?"

"I've made it clear that Miss Changsun has come to Beijing since she came out of Suzhou, and she still hasn't returned to vulgarity. Now, she is practicing in a family temple called Quicui'an in Rongguo Mansion." Qian'er said timidly, "It's the girl before The natal family of the virtuous concubine who offended for a few days."

Kong Jingxian's face was slightly flustered: "Is she determined to be Master Miaoyu?"

The younger brother Jingming was born on the same day, and Changsun Yu followed Mrs. Changsun to Shandong to visit her mother. The two little girls were not bad in age and got along very well. Who knew that when they were playing one day, Kong Jingxian was accidentally pushed by her and scraped to the corner of the table. , leaving a wound that is not too big or small, not deep and not shallow, it is considered disfigured.She didn't care about it herself, but she had an incident with Princess Hui and asked someone to go to Suzhou to ask the eldest grandson for an explanation.

The eldest grandson's family also loved this daughter very much. As a last resort, they sent the child to the temple to be raised by the Bodhisattva, so as to escape the wrath of Princess Hehui. The mistress, but was taken away by the daughter-in-law within a few years after her arrival, can you not be annoyed?But the princess is not easy to mess with, since your daughter wants to lead her hair to practice, then I will give a dharma name, so that she can save herself from going home after half of her practice, and then go home when she is healthy, and make the Bodhisattva angry.

From then on, the charming and charming sister Yu became Master Miaoyu.

As for Kong Jingrong and Kong Jingxian, the two brothers and sisters are getting farther and farther away from the royal family.

"Girl, my servant has inquired these days that the relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and Lord Lin Hou is not very good. It is said that there is a master in Jia's family who behaves perversely and is the most unscrupulous dude. Master Lin doesn't like it." Qian'er said, "This is considered good, if Master Lin has a good relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, what the girl said earlier may cause trouble."

Kong Jingxian said: "Let me just say that the son taught by Madam Lin, even if he is a shameless one who doesn't want his father for the title, he still needs the face he should have."

Qian'er hurriedly said: "Miss, Master Lin of Gusu and their Lin family are of the same line. Uncle has no sons. Uncle Lin adopted him, so it doesn't mean that he doesn't want the Lin family. Besides, this is an imperial decree. What can Uncle Lin do?"

"The imperial decree, the imperial decree is the imperial decree all day long."

"If the girl doesn't like Uncle Lin, why don't you tell the master and wife?" Qian'er was puzzled.

The marriage has been arranged for more than ten years, but now it is changed, how does the world think of the Kong family?Why did Kong Jingxian bother with this boring thing, not to mention that her parents loved Lin Mo a lot, anyway, find someone to live with, and find someone who satisfies everyone, and everyone is happy, that's fine.It's rare for a man to make both the princess and her parents happy, so why should she pour cold water on the whole family?

What's more, the younger sister of the Lin family that I saw that day was indeed a close eye. Lin Mo secretly followed her elder brother behind the screen to take a look at her when she was a child, so she really couldn't fault her.

Just like her, people with excellent acting skills are bound by rules and regulations under the prestige.

Forget it, she was born in the Confucian family with a lot of fame and wealth. She enjoys the security of food and clothing brought by her surname, so she naturally has to repay the family.

Qian'er said quietly: "Girl, today the old man told me to ask for the girl's needle and thread, but I didn't give it to him."

"Brother? Why?"

"Today is not Uncle Lin's birthday. I thought that maybe Uncle Lin was thinking that I would not like the girl, so I didn't give it."

"En." Kong Jingxian said, "Next time big brother asks for it, you might as well give it to him. At this time, I'm not one of those thin-skinned people." She got up and casually flipped through the book , but unfortunately it's my daughter's precepts, and she thinks it's almost the same.

Lin Mo did not expect to run into Kong Jingrong today.

He was pulled out by Rong Jia to celebrate his birthday.The two brothers found a private room in Wuweilou.It seems that there are other distinguished guests in the building today, and the two brothers who have not revealed their identities are naturally ignored. Under the premise of insufficient manpower, it has been a long time since a dish was served.Rong Jia was so hungry that she almost rushed out to find the shopkeeper desperately.Lin Mo pulled him and yelled several times that Xiao Er didn't see anyone coming, so he planned to go to remind him, but as soon as he went out, he saw Kong Jingrong.

He walked out from the corridor of the building, looking quite unhappy, followed by a few servants, their expressions were not quite right, and a few children from aristocratic families came out behind them, arguing with him, as if telling him to go back, after all It really annoyed him, he frowned and scolded those youngsters where they were.

"Brother Jing Luo." Lin Mo smiled, stepped forward to salute, and Kong Jingrong hurriedly saluted too: "Now you are Lord Marquis, I can't be." Then he said, "Today is Tai Yin's birthday, right? , I have to invite myself to join in the fun."

"Brother Jing Luo, what are you talking about, please come in quickly." Lin Mo stepped aside, revealing the Rong family who was looking fiercely at the empty table.

Kong Jingrong is no stranger to the young son of the Governor of Shandong Province. Seeing Rong Jia's appearance, she found it funny, and called her servant: "Go and ask the shopkeeper if you still want to do business."

When Lin Mo was young, he studied in the Kong family's family school. When he was mischievous, he was severely spanked by Wen Xuangong. Kong Jingrong saw him no differently from her younger brother, and she never felt embarrassed because he was engaged to her sister. .What's more, listening to the smoky remarks of those bastards from the Wei family, the Feng family and the Jia family, who didn't do much, he couldn't wait to spend more time with the brothers he had been friends with since childhood.

"How are your errands going?" he asked Rong Jia.

"Not really." Rong Jia replied pitifully, "I feel like the seniors are squeezing me out."

"Is there anything you should be excluded by others?" Lin Mo poured a basin of cold water on him, "Be your job well, do what the superiors tell you to do, and don't interfere if he doesn't let you do it. What's not yours, An Ansheng will be your job, your family is not short of someone who is in the limelight."

There was a hint of admiration in Kong Jingrong's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Brother Rong is about to take the crown, I heard that Master Rong will go to Beijing to report on his work this year." Just look at Rong Mingqian's job report this time.

It's just that Rong Jia knows this truth even if he doesn't talk about it. The son of a governor of a province, how can he be so innocent, cute and ignorant of the world?But he didn't have Lin Mo's big ambitions, and he didn't have to take one step and count three steps like him, so it seemed easy.The grandchildren of the Bai family all had deceptive faces. Lin Mo looked gentle and amiable, and Rong Jia was immature and cute. Everyone was willing to get close to them, and everyone thought they were easy to bully.

Several people were eating, when Rong Jia suddenly stood up: "Liu Xiangru?"

It is said that Liu Xiangru is the grandson of the Duke of Li, Liu Fang. She was born in the same year as Rong Jia. She was born with seven parts female and three parts sick. Her complexion is snow-white with a little greenish yellow, and there are two smears of red on her cheeks. She has a beautiful face. He coughed twice, and he looked very weak, but he straightened his back, which was admirable to watch.

Hearing that Kong Jingrong was a descendant of Confucius, he showed a trace of longing for the relationship, but he was still not very polite. Although he was sitting in their private room, his eyes were searching around, as if he was looking for someone.

This is the sound of ding ding dong dong silk and bamboo, and there are Huadans in red and green on stage, their bodies and singing are not bad, Lin Mo heard an extremely familiar and extremely annoying voice from the corridor: "Yo, Brother Yuhan, look at the actor who sang Mu Guiying"

Lin Mo said, it's really bad luck, it turns out that fool Xue is also there.

He and Kong Jingrong were frowning and were about to explode, when Liu Xiangru yelled: "Liu Xianglian, what are you doing?" Turning over and flying to the stage, she dragged Hua Dan away, the two of them tugged and punched. Walking back and forth, the theatergoers were scared to death. The shopkeeper of Wuweilou was under the stage, with a bitter face almost crying.

The three remaining people in the private room looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Brother Liu looks like he's not in good shape, it turns out that his fists and feet are so powerful." Rong Jia laughed dryly, "That actor—it doesn't look like an actor either. Hearing what Brother Liu said just now, he probably is the figure he often talks about. Brothers? Their Liu family are all good-looking talents." I just want to go back and talk to my mother, let's forget about the marriage between the fourth sister and the Liu family.

After a long time, Liu Xiangru came up with Liu Xianglian, who had washed her face and changed her clothes, and apologized to Lin Mo: "I'm really sorry for disturbing Lord Hou's interest. My brother is not sensible, so I told him to go to Lord Hou's mansion later." Apologize." He wanted to resign.

Lin Mo hurriedly said: "What's the big deal, you are Jia Geer's same year, you are my friend, we can drink and eat together, don't be restrained." Then he cupped his hands to Liu Xianglian: "So it's Brother Liu."

Seeing that he was gentle and handsome, Liu Xianglian was very happy, and hurriedly greeted him, and it happened that the shopkeeper also brought the dishes with great care, and the five sat down, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

But I could hear whispering again outside the corridor: "I often heard that there is a man named Qi Guan in Zhongshun Wang's mansion, who sings very well. Brother Jiang, have you seen it?"

The expressions of Lin Mo and others became more and more obscure.

"I don't know what it means." Rong Jia stuck out her tongue.

"You bastard." Lin Mo made a final decision.

Even Liu Xianglian sneered twice in her heart, and wiped away those good feelings for Jia Baoyu, thinking, "I thought he was a good one, but I didn't expect him to be such an embryo, he was really blind", just Annoyed, when he looked up, he saw his cousin looking at him coldly, and couldn't help shivering.

"If you dare to hang out with that kind of thing again, be careful with your skin." Liu Xiangru snorted coldly, hating iron for nothing.

Lin Mo looked at the prestige of being a big brother, turned his head and smiled at Rong Jia, Rong Jia suddenly froze, and put his hands on his cheeks: "Cousin, I'm very good~"

what a shame.Lin Mo turned his head away.How could he think that this cousin is not bad, at least he didn't spend too much time?It's really too much to drink and the brain is confused.Forget it, let's wait for him to grow all his teeth!
