The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jingxian had nothing to say when she returned home. Princess Hehui was one of the women Lin Mo admired the most. She was like all kind and kind elders. Apart from caring about the basic necessities of life of her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, she had no regard for the young couple. There are excessive evaluations and interference in private life, but Kong Jingrong mentioned a few words.

Lin Mo didn't care.

He used to be classmates with Kong Jingrong for many years, they read the Four Books and Five Classics together, and they would greet each other every morning and after school.However, apart from greetings and discussing knowledge, they will not say unnecessary words.In fact, the ones who could talk to Lin Mo were the younger Rong Jia, and a child surnamed Wu who was too shy to speak.

Different road non-phase plan.

Kong Jingrong is a good backer, but he is not yet qualified to be Lin Mo's ally.Firstly, the Kong family kept a low profile and avoided officialdom, and secondly, the eldest princess' doting made her grandchildren not inherit the foresight and tact of this legendary woman.Lin Mo likes his friends to be smart and self-aware.It is enough that he would prefer his friends to be faithful and stupid, if not both virtues at the same time.

Rong Jia once said that Lin Mo has the ability to make his friends feel a little shorter in front of him.Lin Mo was proud of this, but at the same time feared it.He felt that he had too many friends, so many that he couldn't tell the good from the bad, and some of them, like the Kong family, were used by him and planned to use him, and some of them were like Rong Mingqian because they were together from the beginning and knew that they were friends. The reason why people along the way support each other is, of course, there are also people like Shui Rong who use each other to get on the same boat inexplicably, and are ready to kick each other off at any time.

He used the reputation of the Kong family to establish his prestige among the literati, and also let those people put away their gossip.And the Kong family should also understand that he, at least his aunt, would not be willing to hold back his fists and feet in Shandong if he would come here with a clear goal to ask for his daughter to marry.After all, just being the shopkeeper of Shanrentang or the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital does not need to marry Lord Jingning back to the altar.

As for the inexplicable water melting, it was an anomaly. Although Lin Mo is a person who likes everything and has planned everything, he has to admit that he is young and immature, and he can't control everything, but this is not surprising.If it really happened, besides lamenting secretly that his luck was good or too bad, Shui Rong, who was not an ally but was already on board, he could only bear with it for the time being.

The second son of the Kong family, Jing Ming, was still young, and like all the second sons whose elder brothers were outstanding and had received much attention, he seemed a little timid. Fortunately, he came from a big family, and he treated people well.Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, since he felt that his grandchildren were not enough, why he didn't cultivate Kong Jingming, who was raised by his side since he was a child, to be the heir in his heart, even if he was partial.It was Lin Bai who reminded him: "No matter who the family is, if the eldest son is already determined to be the head of the family, it is useless if the second son is too good. Especially, I am so much better than my elder brother, and I will do better than him. Just because my mother gave birth to me late will lead an excellent child to go astray."

It's not fair.

So what, no one ever dared to say what was fair.

He took his new wife back from Kong's house, and when he got into the carriage, he was very curious whether Jingxian would turn her head twice, but she got into the carriage so naturally, without even showing the slightest bit of reluctance.Lin Mo admitted that no matter what, his little wife was indifferent and restrained on the surface.

"Will you not stay for a while longer?" Kong Jingrong very much hoped that his sister would stay for a while longer, but he himself didn't know what he was expecting.He once tried to fight against the whole world, but it turned out that even for just one day, without the support of his family, his pampered body couldn't do anything.He surrendered, but Kong Jingxian still remained stubborn.

This stubbornness will kill her sooner or later.Now that she has surrendered, she should admit defeat thoroughly, otherwise reality will bury her in the dust sooner or later. Her husband doesn't seem like a person who can tolerate naivety.

Daiyu approaches Kong Jingxian with the mentality of re-acquainting a friend. Obviously, this sister-in-law is very compatible.She is not as reticent as she seems, and when the topic happens to be her favorite, she will also express her unique opinions.What's even more amazing is that she was also interested in reciting poems and composing pairs, playing the qin and talking about music, and even played a short piece of symphony far away outside the courtyard when Daiyu was playing the qin.

Of course Zijuan Wenge and the others also heard the sound of the flute outside the courtyard, and hurriedly went out to meet the grandma, but they asked her maids to stop her, "Don't dare to disturb" and the sister-in-law played briefly together.

"Girl is very good." Jingxian said to Zijuan, "I have never been so happy like today." Then she left calmly, and Que'er behind her hurriedly gave some of the presents she was going to give to Daiyu Going over, he kept apologizing: "Our grandma may have remembered something."

Daiyu smiled slightly and didn't care.

Zijuan remembered: "Girl, didn't you say you wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to see Lian's second grandma and her newborn brother? Would you like to talk to the eldest grandma?"

"I must say it. Didn't my aunt buy a gift for my little brother as soon as the messenger came? I heard that my sister-in-law also prepared one. I guess both of you know about it, but what date are you counting?"

Wen Ge approached and said: "Girl, please forgive me for talking too much, this matter means that my wife and grandma will go with you, we have to go and tell grandma, we can't let grandma know from his wife— ——The wife will return to Jinan sooner or later, it is the third master. When he gets a firm foothold in the imperial hospital, the Lin family will buy him another house, otherwise even if he is a cousin—even if he is closer than a cousin, there will be someone Look down on Shanrentang. In the future, the head of the house here will be the grandma. It just so happens that Queer brought some snacks? The girl also asked the kitchen to prepare some food. I will send it to the grandma. By the way, I will tell her that this is different. .”

Daiyu thought so, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a gift, and said casually: "I don't think my sister-in-law is a person who sticks to this."

"Grandma is indeed not, otherwise she wouldn't hurt the girl and forget about the happy things after singing together - the girl is also a refined person, so our servants will remember these things and say it for the girl."

Kong Jingxian almost felt trembling. Daiyu's maid had just told her that the second grandmother in Rongguo Mansion had given birth, and they should go and have a look. Maybe the old lady would let them stay for a few days and ask the eldest grandmother what she thought.

When she just married in, Kong Jingxian went to Rongguo Mansion to greet the old Feng Jun. Even though the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family was not so harmonious, she was still her husband's grandmother. The daughter-in-law didn't want to be criticized, but she left after drinking a cup of tea. Lin Mo didn't like staying at Jia's house.Of course she couldn't see her cousin Yu who was raised in Jia's family temple.

To be honest, she is almost forgetting the appearance of Cousin Yu, and even she herself can't explain why she likes Cousin Yu so much, even though she almost ruined her face, the scar on the corner of her eyebrow is not too shallow, even if she is still If Lin Mo didn't ruin her entire face, if Lin Mo got into trouble, her whole life would be ruined as well.But she didn't resent Chang Sunyu, not only because of her eldest brother who had just begun to fall in love, but also perhaps, such a casual and proud way of living made her yearn for living in a strict and strict manner since she was a child.

She made up her mind and went to discuss it with Lin Mo.

When Lin Mo came back from the household department, his mind was full of his account books, and he said casually: "Go as you please, I don't have time, I guess I won't be able to leave until my nephew is full moon. You can discuss it with your wife. So—then told my younger sister to be too close to that family, and the atmosphere is not good. By the way, there is also a happy event in the Beijing Palace, and there should be news of it in a few days, so don't forget to prepare a gift."

The medicine in Shui Rong, for the blessing of King Beijing's suspicion, had always been prepared by himself, but the prince was merciful and told him that he no longer needed it.You can also figure out the reason with your toes.He was very jealous of the blessing of water dissolution, and sincerely lamented his liberation.After all, every time those prescriptions were made, Shen Bao's expression didn't look very happy.

Kong Jingxian responded.

So far, the two of them are quite harmonious, perhaps because the communication with the noble lady in the capital has not yet started, and she has not offended anyone.Of course, Lin Mo felt that with Lin Bai's method, she could not offend others.This is not difficult. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl has developed my standard temperament because she is one-of-a-kind in novels. As long as someone hits her a little bit, she can return to the right way, which is not a big deal.

But he remembered Jingxian's contempt for Rongguo Mansion.With her arrogance, Lili would not have such high expectations for going to Rongguo Mansion.Even if it was proposed by her sister, she has enough reasons to refuse.But hopefully it doesn't get him into trouble.

The Jiangnan salt case has reached a critical stage. Apart from the Zhen family, many aristocratic families have been involved, and even many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing have been involved.As a result of Lin Mo's negotiations with Jiangnan Huifeng Bank, the situation became more and more serious.Shui Fu looked at the list he handed in and snorted coldly, almost overturning the table.

In comparison, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince Shui Ling seemed calmer than him, and he even sneered: "No wonder the grandfather didn't let the investigation, and the emperor didn't dare to investigate. Forget it, let's call it a day." Of course he knew He has a noble status, and at the same time, he must be "sensible" for this noble status. The consequences of not being sensible are very serious. He is still young and has a bad temper, but this does not affect his self-protection.

Shui Fu smiled: "Yeah, the grandfather doesn't allow it, and the emperor doesn't want to intervene. We can't even send someone to Yangzhou, can we? When the uncles are raising guards, we raise a little more A few servants will be very dangerous—to be honest, I think father is a generous person."

"Needless to say, third brother, in fact, I don't think Jiawei represents anything. If we really talk about Jiawei, don't we have more righteous and loyal emperor uncles?" Shui Ling's voice was quite calm, "Zhongshun Why did the third brother speak so loudly about things that the emperor dared not even think about. This is the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I have only been here for less than a year, and I don’t even know if the guards outside the door belong to me? Brother, you don’t have to trust me like that.”

Shui Fu suddenly smiled deeper: "You are right, no one can trust you."

He suddenly became excited.Raising dead soldiers is a frightening thing. It is unbelievable to say that King Zhongshun doesn't have one, but he is young and doesn't have the background and qualifications to raise such talents, but he knows that there are others.That person has a lot of dead soldiers, and they are quite loyal, otherwise how to rescue him from the Mulan paddock?

He needs the success of this case to establish his prestige which is different from the fifth younger brother, and his own power, to clear up some moths, and to make his uncles feel more stable, especially the cousin of the imperial mausoleum.

"Third brother? Where are you going?" Shui Ling felt helpless.

Lin Mo kept his gentle smile from beginning to end, and even reminded His Royal Highness, "I think, King Qin is just looking for someone who can help him."

Shui Ling also smiled: "You know, the differences between brothers, some are because of the womb of the mother, and some are because of these - but who can help him? This matter is too difficult, Even if the evidence is collected, there will only be two results, who would do such a thankless thing?"

"Your Highness, it's beyond me to know." Lin Mo handed over all his account books, and he had come to the end of what he should do.There are priorities, and then just pretend to be confused, his master won't want him to meddle too much.Maybe someone who thinks he is his master wants him to do something, but as a young man who just started working from a low-key family, he can't do anything.

The water float failed.

The man categorically denies his power, no matter what he says.This is a major event of ransacking homes and beheadings, so people who are already cautious are even more incapable of doing anything.Even if the conditions he gave are quite attractive to that person.

When they returned to the Ministry of Housing, Lin Mo was already there.He is now on fire with most of his colleagues, and even Cao Shangshu invited him down for a drink, because he seemed to have just solved a difficult matter.Fortunately, Lin Mo refused, because the female relatives in his family were going to visit his grandmother's house today, and he was going there to have dinner with his grandmother.

"I heard from my mother that you have a lot of friendship with Xiaohuangshu. The first time I saw Taiyin, you were also rubbing against Xiaohuangshu."

really.

Lin Mo smiled: "I respect the prince as an elder."

He had seen three dead soldiers of Shui Rong. In the room where he drew heavy curtains, they guarded Shui Rong every step of the way, decocting the medicine by themselves, being careful.
