The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The fact that Lin Mo coughed up blood at his home made Jia Zheng quite uneasy.Although this person is his nephew in name, he is the first-class Marquis of Jingyuan, Minister of the Household Department, son-in-law of the Kong family, and the third prince's confidant.Especially Lin Mo's personality is a little bit of disrespect, they have seen it before, and this time it is in their own home, and the left and right courts of the Imperial Hospital sentenced each of them to "depression in the heart", their family really can't afford it.

In private, he also secretly asked Jia Mu what happened, and Jia Mu entrusted the Zhen family and said: "Master Zhen said, how long has passed since the salt case, and Lin Xiaozi is still relentlessly investigating it. I have been friends for several lifetimes, so I have to let go of this old face and ask the Zhen family. Who knew that Lin Xiaozi was so weak." She was bluffing to death these days. I heard the doctor Wang who often came to the house say, Lin Mo was treated by the two judges of the imperial hospital. Now they are very busy. The emperor personally asked Lin Houye about his condition. The third prince wrote a letter saying that the servant of the household department was busy with his affairs. He wanted to add some capable people to Lin Mo several times. They were all blocked by Cao Shangshu.Although the emperor reprimanded the third highness for "nonsense", but the third prince "slandered" the important officials of the court, but nothing happened, which shows that the emperor believed it.

After hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Zheng felt ashamed: "I blame my son for being useless, and now my mother has to work so hard for my old friends." Jia Mu was very pleased: "Where's your brother?"

Jia Amnesty had always kept his ears to the outside world, and only cared for his daughter's fragrance. Jia Zheng said, "Brother should be in his yard. Mother has something to discuss with elder brother? Son, go and invite elder brother here."

"No need." Mother Jia signaled Hu Po to guard the door, "Zheng'er, come here, you know, among my many children and grandchildren, Baoyu is the only one who loves—"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother, Baoyu doesn't study all day long, but only knows to play with girls." Jia's mother interrupted him: "Okay, don't move out of your tricks. Baoyu is like the old man of the country. That's enough for me to love him! He is smart, but you pushed him too hard. Listen to me, I dreamed about the old man last night, and he asked me why our mansion has become I'm sorry for him like this." As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Jia Zheng knelt down and kowtowed: "Mother, don't cry. It's because the son is worthless. He can't take care of everyone's fortune and wants his mother to worry about the family. Son, son, feel ashamed!"

Yuanyang rushed forward to help him up, and Jiamu lowered her voice again: "I don't worry about our family, what else should I worry about? Listen to me! Now the empress is also struggling in the palace. The news from holding the piano, Mrs. Hua The imperial concubine is not very satisfied with our empress. The last time the empress ordered to offend a villain, she also implicated the empress dowager Hua, but she still came to give us the news. Happy, mother and child are united, Empress Dowager Hua will definitely speak well for our empress. As long as empress resumes walking around in the palace, so will our family!"

"Of course, Lord Zhongshun treats you leniently, and he is the most kind person." Jia Zheng still had the aloofness of a scholar in his heart, and felt that it was not a good thing to rely on his daughter.

Knowing son is like mother, Jiamu can see his thoughts: "I know your thoughts, why don't I want to! But you also know about your elder brother. If you want me to say, the Duke's Mansion is in his hands." It started to lose! Your ancestors worked so hard to earn this family fortune, but unfortunately the title was given to him, and Lian'er has no serious problems, but it's a pity that he didn't live up to expectations. Now besides your mother, Baoyu, who else can our family rely on?"

Jia Zhengchang couldn't afford to kneel.

Outside the upper room, Hu Po also couldn't afford to kneel.

Jia Amnesty is really not someone who would take the initiative to come to Jiamu's place to say hello, but today he heard about the fact that his mother made his nephew sick - there are quite a few people who know about it, Liu Xianglian told him I know, it took him aback.Although Jia She is filial, he also knows that Lin Mo is the Marquis, the servant of the household department, one of them has all of them, and he never dared to show his uncle's profile. Since his mother has already made it, he just came to discuss it with his mother. , Do you want to entertain Lin Mo with a drink, apologize or something.Who knew that when I came, I heard such a passage.

"Don't tell the old lady." He gritted his teeth and told Amber, his sallow face almost turned livid.His cloudy eyes became clear for the first time.

After leaving Jia's house, he hurriedly went to Peach Blossom Lane to relieve his mood.Now there is a new sister there, the authentic Yangzhou skinny horse, very handsome in appearance, well-behaved in speech, and gentle in temperament, a general named Jia She can't be found anywhere, if it weren't for her ransom money is too much Much, Jia Amnesty is really reluctant to keep her in Peach Blossom Alley.

When we arrived at Peach Blossom Lane, Mama Mo, the bustard, ran out and poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Master Jia, I'm really sorry, our Qingqing has guests right now."

Jia She immediately became upset: "What's going on? Didn't you agree that Yue Qingqing will belong to me? Which little thing with no eyes dares to rob me? You are the same. Just use it like this, and you won’t be afraid of making people sad.”

Mo's mother frowned and said: "Master, don't you know about our business? Qingqing has you in her heart, and I know it, but you know our business. No one can blame us for welcoming and sending off, right? What's more The person who came here today is really——you know, Miss Qingqing, she has a thin skin, and she dares not refute what people want to say. It’s not that I don’t love my daughter as a mother. Really, She can't refuse."

"Who? Even you can't refuse?" Jia She's eyes widened and she was about to get angry. Mother Mo approached him, her tone was a little excited and showing off: "It's the four county kings of Nan'an, Beijing, Dongping, and Xining."

Jia She was taken aback: "What is the identity of the prince? Why did you come here? Don't frame me, right?"

"My lord, I wouldn't dare to frame you even if I had ten guts. It's true that the four princes have arrived. Not only Qingqing, but all the pretty ones in our family are here to serve you."

Mo's mother was talking to Jia Amnesty, when she saw a little girl learning the piano running over behind Qingqing: "Mom, Prince Beijing heard that Master Jia is here, and he said he was invited."

Jia Amnesty trembled a few times.

It really was a gathering of four kings, and the place was chosen by the famous romantic prince of Xining County. The four kings were quite different in age, but they had the same standpoint at first, but Bei Jing has always been a slippery one, and now the two sides are more and more obvious. Fortunately, the other three princes I was also afraid of his surname, so I had to invite him now.

"Bei Jing now has a good wife at home, so he dares to come here, and he is not afraid of his sister-in-law getting angry." King Dongping joked.

Shui Rongmu didn't care: "What's there to be angry about? It's just drinking with you guys." Is there a young man in this alley? It's fine for him to treat his wife with medicine at home. Women in the place of fireworks are really not worth wasting own body.Therefore, hearing the commotion outside, the little girl mentioned in a teasing tone that when the "Master Jia" came again, he casually called someone in to pass the time.

Seeing King Zhongshun's face, several county kings were also polite to Jia Amnesty.Shui Rong sat leisurely: "Uncle Shi, you don't need to be too polite. I was thinking of going to talk to Uncle Shi, but I just happened to meet him today."

When court officials were drinking flower wine, they met. It is rare for the King of Beijing to be so calm.No matter what, Jia Amnesty couldn't afford to be called "Uncle Shi", even if his father, Jia Daishan, was still alive, he would be ashamed if he dared to argue with Shui Rong's peers, so he hurriedly apologized.Shui Rong said leisurely: "If you don't go to the court, you know some things too late. Because of the matter that the old lord of the Rongguo Mansion vomited blood from Jingyuanhou Qi, the old Cao from the household department was violently attacked. I I just wanted to say here that the old lady is old and has a high level of seniority, so ask Lao Cao to take care of her. If Uncle Shi meets Lao Cao, it would be good to apologize and apologize."

After Lin Mo fell ill, Shui Fu suddenly felt that everything was not going well, as if he had returned to the situation when he first came to the household department and had to do everything by himself. Yizhong old thousand-year-old seed: "Don't worry, befriend Lin Mo, it will do you no harm. Will I still harm you?" He knew Shui Rong's intentions and sent someone to find out After a while, he confirmed that the sons of Emperor Yizhong's uncle were all locked up in the imperial mausoleum, and none of them could be sent out, so he was relieved.

As soon as I was relieved, I decided to go and see Lin Mo. Unexpectedly, when the carriage arrived at the Jingyuan Hou's mansion, I saw Shui Rong's very familiar vehicle. He had to take a look and he was often received. He thought of Shui Rong's fault that could not be understood by ordinary people, and thought about Lin Mo's appearance. He shook his hand and said to his subordinates, "Go back to your palace."

As a result, he didn't go in like this, and Ming Shui Rong was held back by Lin Mo, who promised a lot of excessive things.

Among them is such a one related to Jia Amnesty.

He felt that he was being ordered by Lin Mo more and more, so he naturally refused: "Have you forgotten my identity? Even if I can do it myself, I can't do it because of the identity of the King of Beijing?" Lin Mo became ruthless: "For whom did I get forced to this point? Who sent me to the household department in the first place?"

Shui Rong had no choice but to follow Lin Mo. After meeting Jia She, he sneered and sneered a few words. Looking at Jia She's innocent and panic-stricken appearance, he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I heard that After the incident happened, the mansion didn't even invite Lord Lin Hou to ask for a doctor. They dragged the sick body home to call the doctor. No one has gone to see it. This is not what the Duke should do. What about it? General Jia, Xiao Wang, say something more, people are first-class people."

Jia Amnesty responded in panic.

Shui Rong pushed Qing Qing beside him: "You go and serve General Jia, calm him down, and apologize for Xiao Wang by the way, just say that General Jia is sorry, Bei Jing didn't mean to scare you, it's really Lin Houye It's kind of sick."

Jia Amnesty couldn't stand it, kowtowing again and again.

"Okay, let's go with Miss Qingqing, I'll be the one tonight." Shui Rong waved him down.

When Jia Amnesty disappeared, the three kings, who had been watching the theater with their own identity, smiled and said: "Their family is working for Prince Zhongshun anyway, it doesn't matter if you put on a show like this?"

"If you can't even show off to such a good-for-nothing, then what's the point of my lord doing it in front of me." The smell of women's makeup and powder was gone, and the water melting was much easier.

These words made the three kings feel the same way.On the contrary, the famous Xiping king said: "I see that you are not trying to show your prestige, but you are venting your anger on the boy surnamed Lin." After thinking about it carefully, he never went to court, nor did Lin Mo go to the state banquet in the past. It took him a long time to recall the vague figure at the Hanlin Banquet: "How is Jingyuanhou?"

King Dongping laughed and said, "Very good, like bamboo like orchid, and a gentleman like jade."

What the hell is Ruyu, that is a narrow-minded, heartless scoundrel.Shui Rong was furious in his heart, but he still smiled on his face. Anyone who has been with him for a long time should know that he has such an idea. As long as he doesn't take his eyes off Shui Fu, maybe the emperor would be happy to see King Beijing without a queen.As for Lin Mo——to ruin his reputation a little bit, it would save him from using him as a weapon all the time.Shui Rong cracked the abacus.

Lin Mo has never been a person who would treat himself badly. When he was recuperating at home, because Qiu Huo was still there, he hadn't broken the ice yet. The girl led three or four little girls to serve the soup.

Shui Rong came in stepping on the scorching heat all over the floor, and felt refreshed. After seeing what he was drinking, he couldn't help asking: "Is this for a woman?" Drink this stuff often to keep healthy.

Lin Mo finished drinking unhurriedly, Wen Qin put two soft pillows behind him for him to lean on, and then he said unhurriedly: "Replenish some energy and blood. My lord, I'm sorry, I'm not in good health. It’s not convenient to salute.”

Wen Yin hugged Shui Rong a mahogany chair with silk cushions on it, Shui Rong waved his hand: "Could it be that you saluted me before?" He added, "I know you just spit it out, I don't know Yes, looking at your posture, I thought you vomited a pot. It smells so bad to me. I'm not here to see a doctor, but I seem to come to see you after your confinement."

The two girls, Wen Yin and Wen Qin grinned, and quickly returned to their usual expressions. Lin Mo smiled and said, "Don't pretend, I saw you smiling, go out and play, the prince seems to have something to say to me."

Shui Rong couldn't help sighing: "When will you be so polite to this king?"

"If the lord feeds me soup like them." Lin Mo smiled and went back, "or when the lord doesn't have to think about me, and I don't need to think about it before he will do me a little favor."

The room became quiet, and there was a looming sound of insects outside. Lin Mo didn't tell the bamboo to make Daiyu's room gloomy, but he loved the quietness, and planted a lot of green plants behind the house. As the wind blows, the lush greenery grows, and the whirling sound of bamboo leaves becomes softer and more ethereal.

Shui Rong had also been lying on this bed before, with pain in his body and a dizzy mind. He didn't know if he could survive, and whether Lin Mo would protect him. He just lay there obsessively, listening to the sound of bamboo leaves. , Smelling the fragrance of medicines all over the room, and listening to Lin Mo talking unhurriedly outside the room, he felt at ease.

He stood up unconsciously and sat on the edge of Lin Mo's bed. Lin Mo lay back, the neck on the front of his clothes was as slender and beautiful as ever. This is a completely different person from Shui Fu, he has an extremely gentle personality Temperament, and extremely delicate eyebrows and eyes.Every line is like a gift from God. No wonder that day when he was the number one scholar in high school, he rode his horse through the streets. The restaurants on the side of the road kept throwing melon and fruit handkerchiefs to him, which made many people laugh at the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Why do you want to touch that idiot of the Jia family? What can he do?" Shui Rongyou was puzzled.

"Don't underestimate fools. Many times, well-calculated and proper things are ruined by fools. It's not like this happened before." The panic in Lin Mo's eyes disappeared in a flash, but Shui Rong took a look. Right at the moment, he vaguely felt that it was Lin Mo's trick. He was about to go up to make a fool of himself, but suddenly he tripped over something, and he straightened himself up with difficulty, only to find out that it was a pair of boots.

Lin Mo's boots were placed on the edge of the bed, and his expression became cloudy.

On the contrary, Lin Mo took a look, with the same expression as usual: "Wen Yin, you forgot to take Rong Jia's boots with you when you lifted Rong Jia up yesterday." Pick up the boots and go.Lin Mo frowned and asked, "Is he still awake?"

Wen Ge replied: "Didn't Second Master Rong get drunk yesterday." He hurried away.

"Master Rong's youngest son, that little Master Rong from Taichang Temple?" Shui Rong asked.

"It's my cousin." Lin Mo said casually, "I don't have as many thoughts as you. I don't need to win over people from Shandong, let alone a kid like Rong Jia. You can also put those things in your eyes. This guess is put away, I’m not good at taking such a bite, even if it’s good, it’s not like a meat dumpling.”

As he was talking, Rong Jia came in bouncingly: "Cousin, cousin! I said why my boots are gone, so they are here with you—" The skinny one rushed in, Shui Rong avoided being knocked by him by hiding.

"What a meat dumpling." He looked at Rong Jia's thin body and nodded to Lin Mo.

When Rong Jia saw someone in his cousin's room and was sitting on the edge of his cousin's bed very intimately, he was also taken aback. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and after seeing clearly that it was the King of Beijing who had met once, He trembled even more, especially since he still had a half-time official on his body at the moment, so he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the prince."

"Get up." Rong Mingqian's son, Shui Rong, wanted to win him over.The man surnamed Rong is as shrewd as a fox, and there is nothing anyone can do. The Supreme Emperor hates him so much, but he has no choice but to use him. Now the emperor has handed over the power to him. After Luo Daowei's incident, many people in Shandong Rong Mingqian has gained a lot of military power. If he has the heart, he can be a local emperor in that land.There are quite a few people who want to win over Rong Mingqian, even Shui Fu has thought about it, but this person is too shrewd, and he can make a joke out of express and hints, but this Rong Jia, who is young, looks Doesn't seem too smart either.Looks like it's available.

Rong Jia stood up, still trembling, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.Lin Mo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of him, he wants to win you over, he won't do anything to you."

Shui Rong and Rong Jia gave him a hard look at the same time.

"If you want me to say, there are a lot of old foxes and little foxes in the capital, the prince should also take those thoughts away. You see, people with my skills can guess your thoughts. You really think that the superiors can't guess your thoughts." Come out? I’m not sure, it’s better not to take risks like this.” Lin Mo shook his head and said, “Just because the prince helped me a lot today, let me say something sincerely, prince, you are already in the position of prince Well, there are some things, just like the princes of Nanan and the others, you just need to express your attitude, there is no need to be so courteous and virtuous as a corporal, but the gain outweighs the loss."

What you said is true. At the beginning, he was too polite to a corporal, and he was played to death by this kid.

Rong Jia really shouldn't be hearing these things. He gave Lin Mo a look for help, but Lin Mo turned a blind eye: "Rong Jia, look carefully, you are also 13 years old, there are some things you need to know. You Father doesn't dare to teach you too much, I will take your words in the future, and I can't just say nothing to you."

Now that Rong Mingqian is in power, as long as Rong Jia doesn't provoke others, naturally others will not dare to do anything to him.However, since Rong Mingqian thought of resigning from office, the superiors naturally felt at ease with the Rong family, but it's hard to say whether his former political enemies would attack Rong Jia. Rong Jia's innocence is a good thing now, but it will be fatal in the future thing.

Shui Rong really didn't want to use his own embarrassment as a teaching material for Lin Mo, so he interrupted without hesitation: "I think your health seems to be in good shape, do you still need to take revenge on the Jia family in the future? To be honest , I have never seen a man like you who is so penny-pinching, and you have never been bullied by others, but you just want to get revenge, and you are not afraid of losing your face."

Can decent food be eaten?What's more, some people, if you blindly bear with generosity, they will press on every step of the way, and then the trouble will be ugly, who will care about your decency?That is the loss of princely demeanor.Lin Mo shook his head, thinking in his heart, it's no wonder that the King of Beijing Jing can be used so thoroughly by him.

However, it is also innocent and cute.

When Rong Jia heard that it was related to the Jia family, a stern look appeared on his baby face: "What does cousin mean about the Jia family's matter? There is absolutely no reason to swallow it like this! You swallow it so hard! Go on, as a younger brother, I can't wait to ask that 'highly respected' old Feng Jun, where is the upbringing of the Jia family!"

"Where does their family have such a thing, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the eldest son who had taken the title to live in a side courtyard, and let the second son steal into the Rongxi Hall. I don't believe that my cheap uncle has no grievances. When the dog bites the dog, I'm so happy to watch the excitement." Lin Mo watched him pour himself a cup of tea indifferently, and said casually, "Pour a cup of tea for the prince, too."

Just now Wen Qin poured a cup of tea for Shui Rong, but he didn't drink it, it should be cold by now.
