The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Daiyu had heard that it was her brother's birthday, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare longevity noodles and longevity peaches early in the morning. Because Lin Mo was in Xiaozhong and it was not lively, she was not very happy about it, until she heard that After Rong Jia took care of her brother, she became happy: "Second Master Rong has a heart. Treat brother well."

Although Lin Mo is in the filial piety, there is a marquis with him after all, and the relationship between the Kong family and Shui Fu, many people came to give him birthday gifts. Among the piles of gold and jade toys, the walnut boat carved by Rong Jia was the same The picture of Baishou written by myself is unique.In particular, the child looked at the fluffy pink and white ball, but the handwriting was vigorous and majestic, quite like Tang Zong's "flying white".Daiyu praised it again and again, only saying that Rong Jia's love for her elder brother might make her inferior in comparison.

Lin Mo looked at her face, and tentatively said: "Brother Jia, you are indeed not bad. Didn't you see it last time?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Just like a child, if my brother doesn't tell me, I really can't see that he is a few days older than me."

Lin Mo nodded inwardly.But also a little anxious, the fourth daughter of the Rong family is determined to marry Liu Xiangru, although he doesn't look like a good match for Liu Xiangru today - although the writing skills are good, but the family is not only weak, it is chaotic Not to mention the girlishness and sickness, but Rong Mingqian made up his mind, who can change it?

"Although this girl is raised under my name, everyone knows that she is raised by my aunt?" Rong Bai was also quite disappointed, "The master said, I thought I would find her a poor family as the mistress. That's right, who knew it was such a family. It's a pity that I didn't meet her with a good family before her naughty reputation was spread!"

He doesn't know whether Rong Bai's words are sincere or not, anyway, the four girls of Rong's family are definitely not as good as the first three in Rong Bai's heart - no matter how close the daughter is, there is no kiss that crawled out of her own belly, right?It's just that what she said is also reasonable. The girl's family gets engaged early, so she can choose more. If it drags on for a long time, it will be bad for the girl.

Just think about it.

After the hottest time of summer, the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family will be filial piety.

It was the first time for Shui Rong to see Lin Mo who had taken off his plain clothes. He was wearing a purplish red first-class gown that gave off an air of independence from the world. , although kneeling, the action of lifting the robe and kneeling is indescribably pleasing to the eye.Shui Rong could only see a section of his snow-white and slender neck under his neatly combed black hair, and felt a little ethereal and ungrounded.

This person is like this, he is obviously fighting for fame and fortune, but it can make people think that he is noble and out of the world, as if he is not eating fireworks.

The emperor never concealed his love for Lin Mo.

The Minister of the Household Department of the third rank, although Lin Mo's title is not too high, but in terms of his age and qualifications, it is really an unimaginable position, and it is really a good job with real power and wealth of money. .

Since the servant of the household department was found out for corruption and bribery last month and lost his black hat, various forces have robbed this piece of fat openly and secretly, but they did not expect to lose to a yellow-mouthed child who was not born at the right time.He didn't even have a family - he was almost done, and the Kong family... the big guy was thinking for a while.

Lin Mo knelt on the ground to accept the order to thank him, and he himself seemed to be standing on a cloud.

Although Shui Fu had vented his anger on him in advance, he would definitely get him to the Ministry of Finance, whether he liked it or not, but he really didn't expect that he would be so generous when he made a move.He didn't appear so flattered or humiliated on the surface, although his expression was still calm, but the cold sweat on his back had gradually soaked his shirt.He couldn't help raising his eyes to peek at the expressionless Shui Fu in front of the officials, and thought, compared with the princes who grew up in these schemes, he was still not good enough.

After leaving the Hall of Yide, many people came to congratulate him.Lin Mo accepted it calmly. He thought Shui Fu would come over and say a few words to him, but Shui Fu left without expression—he still had to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and Queen, and Princess He Hui was also here today. , several princes need to show their faces.

But Shui Rong stood not far away and waited for him.

Lin Mo remembered that now Shui Rong is also a married person.The day when Princess Beijing passed through the door was a big scene, Shui Rong personally helped the princess off the sedan chair regardless of the honor of the county king, which gave enough face to the Zhou family, and many people couldn't help but suspect that this prince has not married for many years, maybe it is the Miss Zhou who was waiting for?All of a sudden, all the noble ladies in Beijing were jealous and envious of Zhou Hui.

"My lord is overjoyed." He congratulated.When Shui Rong got married, he didn't pay homage to Lin Hai at home, and he didn't go there, but asked his family to give him a generous gift.

Shui Rong frowned, remembering that day in the bridal chamber, the beautiful bride bowed profusely: "Thank you, my lord."

He was at a loss: "I, I am really not a good match."

"For me, it is enough for the prince to respect me. If the prince has pity on me, I will ask for a son. If the prince is unwilling..."

He married a woman who was not valued at home and was no longer young.This woman has the same helplessness and unwillingness as him, and has been suppressed by the shyness and shyness of unwillingness to meet the worldly requirements, just to live a better life.He couldn't say anything else, and it was the first time that he hated his extraordinary hobby so much.

"Thank you Taiyin for the good medicine." He pondered, "If there is still..."

"It will hurt you if you use it too much." Lin Mo interrupted him, "Why do you have to force yourself to do something you don't like?"

"Many times, our unhappiness is something that others have been begging for a lifetime." Shui Rong didn't know what he was talking about.Maybe Lin Mo saw him too thoroughly from the beginning, so he didn't feel shy, annoyed or hard to say when he confessed, "I've been like this all my life, but occasionally I should do some good deeds to accumulate virtue. Please trouble Taiyin .”

Lin Mo walked with him for a while, but saw a eunuch rushing over: "Jing Yuanhou stays away. He summons Princess Hui Dachang."

Naturally, Lin Mo had met Princess Hehui before Lin Qing passed away, whenever the princess celebrated her birthday, his wife would take him to congratulate her.The princess in my impression is always surrounded by female officials, dressed in brocade clothes, exquisite and gorgeous jade crown, with a gentle smile on her well-maintained face, because it is too gentle, only the sharp smile remains in his mind. Pointed armor made of pure gold.

The princess is old and has a high status, so she has less taboos.But Lin Mo felt something was wrong as he walked, why did it seem like he was going to the inner hall?Is it out of etiquette?Turning his head, Shui Rong was still standing where he was, and smiled at him.

Today it was rare for Lin Mo to see Princess Hehui who didn't have many people around her.She is also dressed more homely than what she saw in Shandong.However, it looked a little haggard.

Lin Mo stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully.

"Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for a few years." The princess said slowly, "It would be great if you didn't inherit the Marquis, or if you stay in Shandong, then you can be considered a good match for Jingxian."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"This granddaughter of the palace thinks very highly of herself, but in fact she can only be a family member of a small family, and cannot be the master of an imperial wife. Leaving her in the capital to deal with the wives of your colleagues will harm you. She is in the capital, and the emperor's wife and the others summoned her in, and I'm afraid they will kill her even more." Princess Hehui sighed softly, "The matter of the concubine Yuan is because the emperor's wife and the queen have a relationship with that concubine. This is the only way I can keep her, if she continues to offend people so ignorantly, I will go back to Shandong, I'm afraid..."

Lin Mo is so smart, he immediately understood what the princess meant.

"I might as well open up my words with you. Regardless of our royal family background, we have worn yellow robes for four generations. My grandfather, father, brother, and nephew are all emperors. Although Confucius in the temple is also the crown of the emperor, but he is the only one like this. You can see that the descendants of the Confucius family have this honor? The yellow robe was also put on him by the emperor." The voice of Princess Hui Dachang Faintly, but like a heavy hammer, "Jing Xian always looks down on what I say on weekdays. She thinks that since I have married into the Kong family, I shouldn't put the royal family first in everything, but, Brother Mo, you know, there is no king in the world, and the royal family is the home of the upper class!"

Lin Mo hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up, I didn't come here to scare you, it's just that I want to ask you one thing."

"Princess but it doesn't matter."

"The granddaughter of this palace is nothing more than housekeeping. Marquis Jingyuan, please invite Mrs. Lin to the capital to take care of the affairs of the Houfu." She sighed, "After all, this palace only gave birth to her father and one son. This granddaughter, I have raised her for three years, from the time she was born until she could speak, and was carried back by her mother... she is the only granddaughter."

Only then did Lin Mo realize that Princess He Hui was already showing signs of aging.

She used to be the most legendary woman in this dynasty, and she fascinated the son of the Tibetan chieftain. She helped Prince Duan sit on the No. 1 clan order of the clan, and supported the Supreme Emperor to succeed to the throne. She even taught His Majesty two Year.However, the confidante has passed away, and now she is just a symbol, living in the Kong family, and the position of head mother was taken over by her daughter-in-law within a few years after taking over from her mother-in-law.

It's just that she has taken so many things before, if there is really what she wants, can the Kong family really do anything to her?It's just that I can't bear to start with my children and grandchildren.

Lin Mo backed out of the hall step by step, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Princess He Hui.

The palace was smoky, and the half-white-haired old man was still sitting upright, but helplessly.

When leaving the palace, he accidentally bumped into the queen's chariot, and the little eunuch who led the way hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, knelt down and apologized.Lin Mo also knelt down, quite at a loss.The queen called him up after a long while: "Mo... Why is Jingyuan Hou so polite, get up quickly, the ground is hot." She also asked the maids and eunuchs around her to hold Lin Mo.

Lin Mo dared not dare.

Queens and princesses are pretty weird today.

Thinking so, he left the palace gate and found King Jing's carriage parked outside.
