The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Lin Bai did not leave in a hurry. The big ship from the Lin family brought a lot of ballast. In order to see his wife away, Jing Yuanhou took two or three days off, and his colleagues from the household department even sent him A lot of gifts.Among other things, Lin Qing was praised as a "superior doctor" by the Supreme Emperor back then. His ability can be seen, and he has saved many people. There is nothing taboo.

However, at the pier that day, Lai Datong's servants from the Rongguo Mansion brought a few carts of gifts from Jia's mother, which still accounted for the majority.

He imitated Jia's mother's language: "Mrs. Lin has raised our old lady's grandson. The old lady is only grateful in her heart. She specially ordered the younger one to see Mrs. Lin."

Although there are not many children of the Lin family who have been officials in the court, they have been operating for hundreds of years, and the family fortune is not insignificant. What's more, Lin Bai is the daughter of Qi Zhongbo Baiqian Bai old general. She grew up in a wealthy town and became an official in Beijing. All of them are foxes who have become fine, knowing that ordinary jewelry can't catch her eyes, what they give are rare treasures, and what they leave is just a word of "heart". Talented people like Liu Xiangru, it is also possible to send a few calligraphy and paintings. of.What's more, Linhou people are most taboo about these things in the household department. Even if they want to give some yellow and white things, they will secretly ask their family members to hand them over. Now when they arrive at the dock, they are all elegant gifts. , and also put on a good reputation of integrity, regardless of whether the people who read it believe it or not.Who is like the Rongguo Mansion, wishing that others would not know that his family is rich, and the gifts they gave were to see how poor the Lin family is?

And those words, it's not like that.

But Lin Mo really couldn't refute.He has been adopted by Lin Hai, and he is the grandson of Jia Mu. When Jia Mu came to thank Lin Bai, even though he slapped the Shandong Lin family in the face, no one could pick him out.Lin Bai was sitting in the inner cabin without making any noise, even Ping Ai and the other big maids didn't come out, only a group of childish servants came out to say thank you.Lin Che stood on the desk with her bushy eyebrows tightly furrowed, and felt depressed in her heart. If Brother Yu of the Lin family was just a favor of nurturing, living in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion would be considered dishonest. Two sentences, but I was afraid of Daiyu in the sedan chair, so I didn't dare to speak.

But Zijuan got down from the carriage and shouted, "Brother Lai!"

"Yo, but you can't be the elder brother of sister Zijuan." Zijuan served in front of Jiamu first, and her name was Yingge. Lai Da had seen her before, and knew that she was given to Daiyu later, so she didn't care. Dare to neglect.

"Miss, let me tell Brother Lai that it is our Lin family's business to send my aunt back. The weather is bad recently, so I dare not bother Rongguo Mansion, but since Rongguo Mansion is willing to help our Lin family, Miss here Thank you very much. With this little money, the girl will buy wine for Brother Lai and the boys who came with him. Tomorrow, the girl, the uncle, the third master, and the eldest grandma will personally thank the old lady." Come out and go back to the car with a smile.

Lai Da has been working as a servant in Rongguo Mansion for so many years. Not only did he get rid of his slave status, he also had his own yard and begged for his son's work. Naturally, he despised this small amount of money, and he hadn't been treated like a slave for several years. After sending it off, I felt my face turn red with a "thud", as if someone had peeled off my face. I was about to say something when I heard the sound of horseshoes.

"The emperor heard that Mrs. Lin was returning to her hometown, and specially ordered Xiao Wang to come and see her off." Water-soluble brocade clothes and silver robes, jade face with spring, sitting high on the horse, with outstanding elegance.

He came on behalf of the emperor, so not only Lai Da, a slave who was a slave, was scared to death, but Lin Mo also had to kneel down to salute. There is no need to be too polite. The emperor said that Lin Tai is a master of medicine. Madam Lin is kind and honest. If there are more people like the Lin family, it will be a blessing for the people. I hope Madam will bear in mind His Majesty's thoughts and educate her children well and practice medicine. Jishi."

"Your Majesty's instructions, the little lady dare not not listen." Lin Bai received the order respectfully.The things rewarded by the emperor are also affordable. Thinking that the Lin family is a medical practitioner, they have given them half a box of medical skills stored in the royal family. I am afraid that there are still a few books edited by Lin Qing in Beijing in the early years. This book also has to be confessed, not to mention the emperor said that when the old sage gave the Lin family a plaque of "Rejuvenation with Wonderful Hands", although my calligraphy is not as good as that of the emperor, I still have to reward one piece, so I personally wrote the imperial book "Hanging Pot to Help the World". word down.

Shui Rong glanced at Lai Da who was lying on the ground, and thought it was funny, who is the Lin family?It was Princess Qin's natal Lu family. Back then, if Lin Qing was invited to see a doctor, he had to post a serious message. The old sage was so angry that he was forced into the palace by the abolished prince, and asked Lin Qing to wake up with a dose of medicine. , is this just kidding?Although the descendants of the Lin family are not prosperous enough, after hundreds of years, most of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are students of the Lin family. Who would dare not give the Lin family face?The Rongguo Mansion is also very big, thinking that people are at the same level as those little imperial doctors who are on call in their mansion.So he smiled more and more gently: "Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite, Xiao Wang and Lin Hou are friends through life, Madam has been in Beijing for so many days, Xiao Wang originally wanted to go to visit, but unfortunately there are too many things to do, so I don't have time for leisure. Tomorrow, when Xiao Wang goes to pay a visit to General Bai, he will go to his wife's house to pay a visit."

Qi Zhongbo Baiqian is a strange person. When he was young, he didn't want the title left by his ancestors. He went to the Southwest to serve as a soldier. It was humid and hot in Guangdong and Guangxi, and he encountered war again. He was miserable. He made a lot of military achievements step by step. up.The Taishang Huang was very happy and went to the gate of the city to pick him up. When Bai Qian rode back to the court ostentatiously, he scared his old father half to death.With a title and military exploits, even though he has resigned and returned to his hometown, when everyone talks about Old General Bai, they still have to praise him.For such a family, marrying their prostitute daughter to Lin Qing, still can't explain the problem?

Shui Rong knew very well what kind of identity Lin Mo was.In the first few years when the emperor came to the throne, he was especially afraid of the emperor, he had to ask for instructions before doing anything, and he was extremely tolerant to his brothers. He even asked the emperor what he wanted to do when building a river embankment. The old sage was very relieved and praised the emperor many times "Filial piety and pure benevolence".But can a filial and pure benevolent person become emperor?Over the past few years, the emperor has reformed the administration of officials step by step. Almost before the Supreme Emperor and several princes could react, the important guards in Beijing and outside the capital had already changed.Once the military power is in his hands, the emperor will act more decisively. At the beginning of this year, he named several princes as princes. His handwriting is so big that King Zhongshun and others gritted their teeth with hatred.

But what can be done?

The King of Beijing Jing smiled slightly, and said to Lin Baishi: "Marquis Lin is in Beijing, and has helped Xiao Wang a lot. Now that my wife has left Beijing, Xiao Wang is a vulgar person, and he dare not take those elegant things of poetry, calligraphy and painting in It’s a long way to go to Jinan, and there are a few guards at the Xiaowang’s mansion, so it’s Xiaowang’s kindness to give his wife a ride.”

Lin Bai was very grateful, and quickly declined: "I dare not." Lin Mo frowned even more, stepped forward and asked softly, "Why are you doing this?"

Shui Rong only smiled and said: "Madam, you don't need to be polite, it's just Xiao Wang's little care." While insisting on calling his own soldiers to escort him, he said to Lin Mo: "They have prepared their own ships and followed Madam's big ship, it doesn't hinder Madam reputation."

Lin Mo looked at him suspiciously: "What is your plan? I don't believe you have such good intentions."

"Your words really make me sad." Shui Rong naturally has his own considerations. It is a gift from Emperor Taizu that the Beijing Palace can raise some soldiers.Over the years, this gift has not only protected the successive kings of Beijing from accidents, but also attracted a lot of attention for the palace.Ru Shui Fu, etc., have repeatedly hinted that they want to use the dead men in his family to investigate the Jiangnan salt case.The reform of the salt class is of great importance, and all kinds of tricks are bottomless, and Shui Rong is very unwilling to dip into this muddy water.It's one thing for him to adore water floating, but another thing is the inheritance left by his ancestors.There are also people like King Zhongshun who quietly want to find out what the size of his personal soldiers is and whether it can become a big deal.Even the emperor probably wants to know.Now he didn't hide it anymore, and he asked his soldiers to send Lin Bai back to his hometown, which was considered to have dragged Lin Mo into the water.

My soldiers are all used to send Lin Houye’s mistress back to Jinan. Your Majesty, if you still suspect that these dead soldiers like me can rebel, you must also suspect your son.

He played well, but Lin Mo was too lazy to enter the game: "I said, no need, now the waterway from the capital to Jinan is smooth, the law and order are clear, and our family's servants are also very capable, so there is no need to trouble the prince." Shui Rong asked with a smile. : "Marquis Lin is so sure that you won't need my help in the future?"

"It's as if I have something to ask you for help, and you will definitely agree to it without fear of death. You have to take care of yourself first, then think about King Qin, and finally see if you can sell me a favor by the way, right?" Lin Mo lowered his voice, with a hint of threat, "I'm a stupid person, I've never been afraid of these things, if I need the prince for anything, I have my own means, I don't have to listen to the prince's mercy now With your future charity, the lord really thinks my Lin family is easy to bully?"

Shui Rong remained silent, staring at him silently.

Among other things, the medicine that the people of Shanrentang sent to his house every month was enough for Lin Mo to threaten him once.

Marquis Jingyuan, as recorded in later history books, acted treacherously and decisively. Although he was wronged by personal affairs, his heart was attached to the court in the end. A capable minister without selfishness, who has gone through three dynasties, has been loyal and loyal, once threatened the clan in troubled times, balanced the forces of all parties with a three-inch tongue, and helped Emperor Jing build an eternal foundation. The historian praised: Lin Hou has a good character, Zhou Gong Can not and also.

Shui Rong weighed it carefully in his heart, but felt discouraged: "You always disappoint me."

"If it doesn't spoil your interest, you should worry about me." Lin Mo sent his wife away respectfully with his family members, and planned to go back to the household department to work as an errand, but suddenly felt a little headache——in front of such In front of many people, how would he explain the matter of the soldiers of the Beijing Palace?

Shui Rong turned around and left, before getting on his horse, he put down a sentence: "The emperor intends to call Yunjun Wang back to Beijing to accompany the old sage for the New Year."

King Yunjun is the son of Yizhong Lao Qiantui.In the old days, something happened to Yizhong Lao Qiansui, and the old prince's mansion died and scattered. Although Junjun Wang survived by luck, he still has the title of Junwang, but he was sent to guard the imperial tomb by the enraged Supreme Emperor. Even if it is banned, now that the Supreme Emperor is old, he always wants to miss the old days, and it is human nature to want to see his grandson.Your Majesty, you will never refuse this request.

Lin Mo pondered in his heart, and said, "Do you want to redecorate the mansion of Yizhong Lao Qiansui? This is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. What's the use of listening to me." He didn't take it seriously.

Shui Rong sneered in his heart: "Fool, big trouble is coming, I don't know yet."
