The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Mo waited at the side entrance outside Yide Hall.He has no job, even if the position of serving a bachelor is there, he is not enough to go to the court, so he waits here, waits for the debate inside to be inseparable, and then announces him in.

Had to come early in the morning.

It's a little hot.Lin Mo missed his family's carriage with an ice basin, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then lowered his head to play with his fingers.

In fact, he could guess King Zhongshun's thoughts.

Lin Hai's original title was the second-class captain of Qingche, and he has no heirs to inherit it. In the capital city where princes are everywhere, such a situation is indeed somewhat contemptuous.If it is said that Lin Mo shouldn't be adopted by him, then among other things, at least the incense of the Lin family will be cut off, and the title of Marquis of Jingyuan will be complete, and what they say about Lin Hai's performance as an official will be completely irrelevant. Not to mention criticizing Lord Hou's father.Otherwise, Lin Mo's left-spiritedness will come up, and those old guys who say that Lin Hai's actions are flawed will be treated badly.

What's more, Lin Mo had nothing to do with Lin Hai in the first place, and there was really no need to offend most of the powerful officials for him, and their calculations were crackling.

However, Lin Mo didn't think so.

He stood outside the side door, thinking about literati integrity.Han Chuang has studied hard for decades, in order to report to the country and help the people, literati, and the most important thing is reputation.Lin Mo was grateful to Lin Hai, he didn't like being gossiped about after his father left.

Although Shui Rong said that Lin Mo's position as first-class marquis actually came from His Majesty's love, otherwise even if he was Lin Hai's biological son, he would be a third-rank county marquis at most, but Lin Mo felt that if Lin Hai didn't exist, he would have to go a long way. far way.

If Lin Hai's title wasn't here, no matter how much the emperor loves him, it would be impossible for him to give a new champion title.As for Lin Hai, he has no son but has a noble, so he almost skipped the 30 to [-] years of struggle and reached the sky in one step.

This is a great benefit, and he must repay it.

Lin Mo has always been a conscientious child, his husband raised him, he treated him as his father, the emperor used him, he took care of the emperor's worries, Lin Hai helped him, and he wanted to keep the Lin family safe.

In the Yide Palace, the eunuch Wang Ping shouted loudly: "Xuan Jingyuan entered the palace—"

Lin Mo calmly walked into the hall amidst the sharp calling, and respectfully saluted the emperor.

"Ai Qing is flat." The emperor's voice could not tell the emotion, "Li Qing said that your adopted Lin Ruhai is against the law, what do you say?"

Lin Mo presented a genealogy with both hands: "My lord, I was deeply terrified when I heard what Lord Li said, and I ordered my family to copy the genealogy from the ancestral halls of our family in Shandong and the Lin family in Gusu. My family and my father's family are originally One branch and one lineage, my husband and my father are of the same generation, share a great-grandfather, and they are within the five robes, according to the law of this dynasty, only those of the same clan and surname within the five robes can be adopted, and the humble minister and my father are just in line."

In fact, where would it be within five servers?However, the Shandong Lin family and the Gusu Lin family are indeed two lines, and both of them have a small population. Now that a Marquis has finally come out, it is natural to cling to it, not to mention that the two families are both scholarly families. If there is a relationship between them, It's also good to support each other, so when Lin Mo sent someone back to ask for the genealogy, the patriarchs of the two parties understood what he meant without saying much. Anyway, they wanted to copy a copy, and how to copy it was the patriarch's own business.

Li Yushi knew that he would say so, and he retorted before his voice fell: "Although that is the case, as far as I know, Lin Houye is not the biological son of the Lin family in Shandong, but the adopted son of Lin Qing, is it true or not?" ?”

Lin Mo smiled and said: "The law of this dynasty, those who are under the age of three and have no father or mother can be adopted. I was just one month old when the master took me back, and I was born alone. The master rescued me and raised me. His son, entered into his genealogy, which law did he break?"

"Enough." The emperor said suddenly, "It was my idea to adopt Lin Aiqing to Lin Ruhai. The character of filial piety is the foundation of a person. Lin Ruhai is loyal. I can't bear to cut off his incense. Why not?"

Li Yushi trembled now, he seemed to have made a wrong move.

Lin Mo frowned and smiled.

In fact, he wanted to say something else. Qin Ye, the director of the Ministry of Industry and Construction, took his six-year-old daughter back from Shanyangtang, so he married the son of a third-rank general as the daughter of the Qin family?This year is gone, the Ningguo Mansion held a lot of funerals, and even the king of Beijing set up a road sacrifice. If we really want to talk about it, is it necessary to investigate whether the behavior of Xiaying Shulang's adoption of his daughter is in accordance with the law?

But since Li Yushi has already died down, he will not mention it.

Now that the two emperors are fighting, if they are not careful, it will be bloody. Now that King Zhongshun is not pressing each other step by step, he can't be aggressive and ask King Zhongshun to find him.

It's not yet time for Lin Mo to show off, so he will accept it as soon as he sees it. He is a sensible person.

After the court, the officials left in twos and threes, occasionally whispering a word or two, the voices were very low, as if they were afraid of something.Lin Mo's seniority was small, and none of his peers had the highest rank in the court, so he walked slowly in the back by himself, and didn't talk to other people.

Those who are qualified to come to court are old foxes who have become elites. He is willing to make friends with powerful people, but it is definitely not at the moment when he will suffer.

As a result, just after three doors, he saw Shui Rong standing beside the stone steps with another young man, talking and laughing with their arms folded. When he walked slowly, Shui Rong even waved at him.

Lin Mo walked over slowly.

That young man's appearance is not outstanding, or if he stands with Shui Rong, his original middle-of-the-road appearance will be lost to everyone.But a pair of eyes, shone with shrewdness, quite extraordinary.

Shui Rong didn't mean to introduce the two of them, but just asked: "Is someone making things difficult for you?"

Isn't calling him here just to make things difficult for him?Lin Mo smiled and said, "Not at all. I'm worried about you, Lord Lao."

Shui Rong waved his hands: "I miss what you are doing!" He pulled the young man behind him again, "Here, did you see, this is Lin Mo, he's nothing extravagant, since he's fine, are you relieved? Let's go let's go."

Lin Mo watched the two leave, bowed his head and smiled in silence.

The eight legs are like a dragon, and the four claws are like dragons. Although the man's clothes are not visible, the lines of his inner shirt are exposed at the neckline.

But what does this have to do with him?

After Lin Mo returned to the mansion, he found that Daiyu had personally brought a group of maids to meet him within the third gate. Seeing him coming, he walked up two steps, looked at him carefully for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother, are you alright?"

Lin Mo smiled warmly and said, "What can I do? It is the emperor's will to adopt my father, and those people will understand after thinking about it. I have everything to do with me." Seeing her red eye circles and exhausted expression, she hurriedly called Xue Yan and the others took her to rest, and told her to rest assured that the family would not be broken up, so they planned to go back to the room to change clothes.Turning her head, she found that Yayi was still standing in the distance, looking straight at him.

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

Yayi lowered her head and said: "Master, I have a sentence from this servant, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Then go back and think about it, maybe you will know after thinking about it for a long time."

Ya thought that he was going to leave, and hurriedly said: "The Zijuan next to the girl used to ask why the girl didn't go back to the Rong Mansion, and every day vigorously mentioned the second master of Jia's family. Yesterday, the girl was worried about the uncle and didn't sleep well. Juan also said that the girl was sick from crying because of the uncle, and the second master Bao knew, so it may be very distressing, but the servant girl is really not like listening to this, so I want to tell the uncle to know."

Lin Mo looked at her slowly, until she lowered her head with fear in her heart, and then said slowly: "Next time you hear her talking about Jia Baoyu, just tell the nuns to know."

Yayi's face suddenly turned red.

The maids in the girl's room did not obey the rules. It was indeed the nuns in the girl's room who took care of them. There was absolutely no reason for the uncle to intervene.But, but

"Go and tell the girl to borrow the azalea in her room to get me a fan cover in the afternoon." He said softly, "If you don't want to serve the girl, tell me, I want you to serve me once, and I promise you It’s not hard to be a good family.”

He turned around and left, followed closely by the four servant girls, Lingge, Tingyi, Wenyin and Miaohe, without saying a word.

There is never a shortage of servants around him. The Lin family in Shandong has accumulated a hundred years of accumulation. Although they don't like to show their wealth, they enjoy it very much. After leaving Wenge and Yayi, new maids will soon fill in.

Yayi buried her head lower and lower, and gradually shed tears.

Daiyu heard that Lin Mo wanted to borrow Zijuan to make fan covers, so she dug out the small basket she made for needlework and asked Zijuan to take it with her.Zijuan looked at it, secretly feeling worthless for Baoyu.

She is a child of the Rongguo Mansion, and her parents and brothers are all in the Jia family. Although she was given to Daiyu, she still feels that she will return to the Rongguo Mansion in the future—the thoughts of the old lady and the second master Bao can be seen by anyone with eyes !

Although this uncle of the Lin family is the girl's elder brother, how long have you known the girl?The girl and Baoyu grew up together, and the friendship for so many years was broken because of Uncle Lin.She couldn't help sighing when she thought of Baoyu's humble appearance in front of Daiyu.

Although Uncle Lin is not bad for the girl, he doesn't think about the girl.The girl is going to marry in the future, so it's better to give it to someone who knows everything about it than to give it to someone who has never seen it before and doesn't know the details!

She thought so, and she showed some on her face. Lin Mo looked at it coldly, and sighed inwardly.Ask Zijuan to take her own fan and make it, and ask her, "Do you know how to read?"

"I learned to write a few from the girl."

"Have you read "Biography of Women" and "Woman Commandments"?"

"Not ever."

"Girls, it won't hurt to take a look." He took a brand-new set of books from the case, "This is the most complete version, and the set of rules that the nuns taught their sisters should be a little missing. You Bring it to the girl, and you can learn from it when the girl reads it. See what the result of talking about the outsider every day is."

Zijuan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what she meant. Because she had a good relationship with Daiyu and loved her as a sister, she also restrained her fear and said boldly: "I know that the uncle is worried about the girl's statement, but the girl will marry sooner or later." , Second Master Bao..."

She was suddenly speechless.

Lin Mo's expression was not very good.

"I've heard of the rules in the Rongguo Mansion. It seems that you can still call their second master by his name, but in the Lin Mansion, there is no rule of talking back." He said softly, "For my sister's sake, I don't want to touch you. , But, you'd better remember what I said today, my sister needs someone to protect her, and only a man who stands at the door and gives her family a safe and happy place is considered considerate."

Zicuckoo hesitated to speak.

"Go back, don't talk nonsense to the girl in the future. She was told that she has no rules. Would you be happy to hear that?"
