The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

But Jia Lian, although he got Lin Mo's suggestion and temporarily put his heart down, but when Liu Xiangru came out, he was very angry, and he complained to Sister Feng first when he returned to the house.Wang Xifeng has always had a fiery temper. Although she has restrained herself a lot because she has a brother, she couldn't stand Jia Lian saying "that good cousin of yours", and immediately became angry: "My good cousin? His surname is Xue and my surname is my surname." Wang, what's the relationship? Can you get rid of him? You think it's troublesome now, why didn't you hate it when you used our Wang family's money to eat our Wang family's food? "

Jia Lian was not happy at first, and he didn't dare to go against her wishes at first, but Sister Feng had lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye for a few days, and he became mad for a while: "You keep your mouth shut, you Wang family, it's hard to think that you are the eldest lady of the Wang family. What? If Mr. Wang is really your father, do we need to huddle together with our son and daughter in this small courtyard and receive the charity from the second wife?"

Sister Feng's face turned cold with anger, and she began to fight and kill. The two quarreled so that the younger brother burst into tears, and the older sister in the next room heard her younger brother's crying, and wept as if infected. The nannies of the two little ancestors hurriedly coaxed him, but Ping'er saw that the situation was not right, so he tried to coax his elder brother to escape.

After all, Sister Feng is a mother, and she calmed down when she heard the cries of her precious son and daughter: "I don't want to argue with you, anyway, when Cousin Xue did this, I stayed in the yard without going out to accompany you. With the second wife making trouble, what do you want from me?"

Jia Lian knew he was in the wrong, so he could only be accompanied by a good grandmother. Both of them thought it was funny when they thought of how they used to use knives and guns a few years ago.

When I got up the next day, I asked Ping'er to go back to Wang's house in person according to Lin Mo's suggestion, and talked to Wang Ziteng's wife, Shi Shi, but didn't dare to say anything, only said that my uncle wanted to let go and do something serious, but the old lady The wife still wants the uncle to help with housekeeping, but the uncle dare not say so, and the aunt wants to ask the wife to help persuade the old lady.

Wang Xifeng followed Shi's father-in-law when she was a child. The old man loved her little granddaughter and raised her as a man. Shi's family didn't have a daughter. He didn't think about anything else, Tong Ping'er said: "This is what a man in charge of the family should do, and your grandma has come to the end of all her hardships."

But after all, this is a family matter of the Jia family. Although the Shi family is also surnamed Shi, they are not in the same family as Shi Taijun. Now among the four families, only Wang Ziteng is in charge. Although her words have some weight, it is not easy to refute Shi. For the old lady, after all, Sister Feng didn't come out of her belly. Although she felt distressed, she didn't feel distressed enough.

But since Sister Feng has sent Ping'er to go this trip in person, it would be shameless for Shi to shirk, so she took advantage of Sister Feng's younger brother to arrest Zhou Ding'er and went to Rongguo Mansion. Looking at Shi Taijun's face, holding the hand of his niece and son-in-law, he earnestly told him to be a good errand: "You don't want to touch the mundane affairs of the family, you see who is doing big things all day long? Let alone, your own second uncle Have you ever dealt with this? It is your brother-in-law, so useless, I would rather he wandered on the road every day than see him so petty! Your uncle said, work hard, your father has a title, in the future we The old couple can count on raising girl Feng to enjoy your happiness!"

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Why did you come to our house to teach the children a lesson? Lian'er has been on duty every day, but being a father is different. Has her uncle thought of a name for her nephew or grandson?"

"Where is it our turn to choose a name! Lian'er has been looking forward to his son for who knows how many years, even if he didn't go to school, he still has to give him a decent name!" Mrs. Shi said with a smile, "I don't know him. In big characters, her uncle just wrote a letter back, can I understand it?"

A group of people laughed, and Jia's mother said: "No wonder Feng girl has a clever mouth, but the second brother's family and Xue's family are silent. I also said that the three aunts and nephews are so different. So it is with you Learned."

Sister Feng knew that her aunt was speaking for Jia Lian, so she hurriedly said, "Yesterday, my ancestors praised me for being sweet. Today, when my aunt comes, I will not please you. Instead, I have to speak for our second master. Grandpa was on duty, but he never dared to be left behind, and he didn't even have the time to help with housework, and it was the second wife who worked hard all the time."

Mrs. Wang laughed quickly and said, "It's no big deal. They are men, so they should do some serious things." The reason for the card gave her a hard time, but the people under her hand did not live up to it, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it, but she was angry in her heart.It's so easy to take over the family affairs while Sister Feng is giving birth, but I don't want her to succeed again.

Jia's mother only felt a headache, but she couldn't say that she had to ask Jia Lian to do something. She only blamed Shi Shi for being troublesome, and secretly became suspicious, not understanding why she asked about Lian'er for no reason.

Talking to Yuanyang secretly, Yuanyang persuaded: "The old lady is too worried. In my opinion, it seems that Lian's second master and second mistress are trying to shirk. Don't look at what they said in front of the second wife today? The second wife is like It's like not letting go. If you want me to say, Mrs. Wang's family doesn't seem to be nosy, it's possible that Master Wang wants Second Master to forge ahead."

Mother Jia thought it was the same. Nowadays, among the four major families, there are few younger generations who have entered the officialdom. Jia Lian was also an idler. It actually opened the eyes of the boss, he is a son of a family with many connections, if he really wants to do something, no one can stop him.

Wang Ziteng is naturally excited. He has no daughter and has always treated Sister Feng as his own. Now that his niece and son-in-law are promising, he is of course happy, but at the same time he has sympathy for him.Now the emperor likes to use young people. There was Marquis Lin who was high-spirited before, and Liu Lang who was upright later. Even Rong Er was also smart and courageous. He was neither humble nor overbearing and polite when we met each time. The four of them have grown up to this day. It's amazing that the person on duty is really outstanding.

Half of the capital knew that Jia's subordinates had a good reputation. Since Shui Fu found out from Lin Mo that he was still able to do so, he was very happy and asked his family to inquire about the news.Hearing some broken words, I was quite impatient, but after waiting for a few days, Lin Mo didn't have anything to say.

He couldn't tell what Lin Mo was thinking, and he wasn't sure he could guess what Jing Yuanhou was thinking, so he spoke in a circumstantial tone, so he might as well ask him directly.

Lin Mo seemed to be amazed at his uprightness, and after a long pause, he slowly said, "Grandmother doesn't feel scared yet."

Dare to communicate with the Zhen family, which shows that Mother Jia has not taken this seriously, so even if the letter is intercepted, it is a bunch of secret words, which is not evidence.What's more, people always don't remember to make up a reason until they are most flustered. Now that they get those vague and unclear words, they are more likely to be beaten back.

Shui Fu also had to sigh: "Yes."

"It doesn't matter. The most important thing I lack is patience. It won't be too long until they jump into the pit." Lin Mo smiled, unable to tell if he was happy or bored.

Shui Fu took a breath: "Unfortunately, Father didn't intend to give us too much time to wait."

"As a courtier, I dare not speculate on the emperor's plan at will, but I think that His Majesty loves the people like a son, so he must hope that the Yan government will be innocent." Lin Mo touched the stove and closed his eyes slightly, "It's only a few minutes left and right. In the past few months, there are more and more people in Jinling's family, but there are not many people who are effective. Taking advantage of Lord Wang Ziteng's absence in Beijing, this matter can be done properly. Even if Lord Wang is back, their Wang family There are also a lot of prodigal things. Wang Ziteng can sit in his current seat with a lot of thoughts, and he will not do things that harm himself and benefit others. It was the old sage who urged him. His Highness is the grandson of the Supreme Emperor. The old sage Even if you prefer veterans, relatives in the next generation will always be the same."

Looking at his appearance, Shui Fu suddenly remembered the aunt who followed the emperor's grandmother a long time ago. She always looked leisurely and indifferent, but in the end she quietly presented the evidence that Concubine Song colluded with the former court , and even died to show her innocence, and burned everything to keep the emperor's grandmother on the queen's throne.

The sun in the winter morning is warm and warm, but the temperature can’t come in through the wide wooden windows, and Lin Mo doesn’t have a brazier, so the whole room is chilly, which makes the pampered Third Highness a little overwhelmed. possibility, and then asked: "How long will it take?"

"It won't be too long. What's more, isn't Xueshi Liu eyeing their family now? There is a phoenix egg in their family who is celebrating his birthday, and the post has been sent to my house. Any fool can guess what An's thoughts are." There are only a few people who can rely on the left and right, and they are in a hurry to go to the doctor. If someone adds more firewood, it will be considered time." He checked a pile of miscellaneous account books and piled them into a ball. He lost his temper. Now I don't do those chores, but Cao Shangshu can't escape the accounting book, so he naturally has to admit it, not to mention that the knowledge in this small row of numbers is too great.

Shui became interested: "Scholar Liu? Oh, the one who is the same age as Xiao Rong? He is good at writing, skillful and courageous. He is deaf and savvy."

It’s all about the literati’s strength of character, and only those scholars who study hard in the cold window will shout happily. Those who have already seen it, but dare not say anything more.Lin Mo's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "That's right, Xueshi Liu's brother beat up the cousin of Jia's family, and was wanted by the cousin of Jia's family all over the world. Xueshi Liu has a bad temper. The female crown prince dares to throw a pen, and the servants of the Ningguo Mansion really dare to go to his aunt's door to make trouble. After all, he is of the same family as Duke Li, who wouldn't look at Duke Li."

Shui Fu naturally understood what he meant: "What is the origin of Xueshi Liu's brother, he is so protective."

Lin Mo shook his head: "How would I know?"

Naturally, Shui Fu did not ask in vain, since he found out that he was able to use the words from his servants, he began to think about it, and asked his trustworthy people to inquire quietly, which yielded a lot of rewards. Prince Qin's mansion has such a high family background, and there are all kinds of servants below him. A brother who is next to his concubine Wu's, even brazenly boasted in the gambling house.It's just that after asking more, I found that I couldn't find any news about the Jingyuanhou Mansion.

"The people of the Lin family really have nothing to say. If you want to say it to the slaves, the big family in the capital is the rough envoy maid, and that is also powerful. How can there be their family? The big maids and servants can't see them, but those He is a rough envoy, really like a wooden man, stupid and incomprehensible, the servants have been talking around for a long time, and they don't know anything."

"Where is it that they are not smart?" Shui Fu sighed, and he had to sigh a few words.

Although the Lin family has a solid foundation in Jiangnan, Shandong, they have bought many servants when they came to Beijing. It's not that no one has made such an idea, but they can frighten the compradors, so what can they do.Shui Fu thought to himself, if Lin Mo could be used by him, that would be great. If he could be used by the emperor's uncles...

Fortunately, Shui Rong started early.

The old family said that Shui Rong is a virtuous king, which is regarded as a respect for his throne, and also ridiculed some "idle kings". He knew very well that the capital of Beijing Jing was not inferior to that of Jingyuan.

Naturally, he could not have imagined that the little Shi En when he was young would receive such a big help now. After so many years of hanging in the water, he began to feel slightly proud. Princess Lu is very good, young and bright, knows how to advance and retreat, and serves well. The father, the queen and the queen were all happy, and they gave birth to two sons for him. He is not a masculine man, so it is enough to give Shui Rong a little hope once in a while.

Even the Supreme Emperor had heard about his friendship with Lin Mo.

The Taishanghuang is old, and he likes to watch the handsome juniors who are born. Although the water-soluble man is so slippery that everyone can see that he is both right and left, fortunately there is no major fault, and he can say good things. The Taishanghuang often summons King Zhongshun for fun. , By the way, I summoned King Jing of Beijing to raise his eyes.

King Zhongshun repeatedly mentioned the friendship between King Jingyuan and Marquis Jingyuan in front of him, and the old sage listened to it a few times, and he was taken aback: "Jingyuan looks pretty good."

There is someone in the court who likes that Longyang. The Supreme Emperor doesn't know it, but he himself, and the little eunuchs around him, all of them look good. For those who are high-ranking officials, whoever has a male favorite in his family, it's okay for people to know. It's such a big deal, but it's rare for the King of Beijing to be married for more than 20 years. Naturally, some people can guess the reason and dare not say anything. Wife, the wife also met with joy, which made the Taishang Emperor puzzled.

Shui Rong smiled slightly: "Marquis Jing Yuan looks so bad that the eldest princess would not recruit him as her grandson-in-law."

The Supreme Emperor nodded: "It's natural." He didn't say any more.
