[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Lin Qing thought for a long time last night, who should go to find out, if Shen Gui was in Beijing, maybe he could find out some news, but now "the distant water can't quench the near thirst", so he can only ask Shui Rong.

Beijing Palace.

Lin Qing was carrying the gift in her hand and prepared to 'visit at home'.

Thank goodness, Shui Rong is finally in Fuchu this time.

The waiter at the door heard that it was "Lin Ruqing from the Lin Mansion", and immediately led him in.

Lin Qing followed the waiter to an elegant and secluded courtyard, where tube after tube of Xiangfei bamboo was planted, and the bamboo body was dotted with tear spots, like a beauty shedding tears.

"Master Lin, my lord is coming right away, why don't you have some tea here for now." The waiter bowed his waist and said respectfully.

Lin Qing cupped his hands in return, "I'm sorry."

After the waiter went down, another group of waiters came here one after another with some tea sets, silently arranged the whole set of tea sets, and then started to make tea. After a while, the fragrance of tea rose.

Lin Qing watched curiously from the side as those people fiddled with them, feeling that they were flowing and elegant.

"Ruqing."

Lin Qing turned her head, saw that it was water soluble, hurriedly stood up, and said politely: "My lord."

Shui Rong helped him up, "There's no need to be too polite."

Immediately, the two sat down.

At this time, the heat was up, and the two of them held a cup of tea in their hands and sipped carefully.

In the tea house, Lin Qing also saw other people making tea, but he was only focused on storytelling, he was not interested in it, and his mouth was too rough, so he couldn't taste this kind of elegance at all, but now he tasted it quietly and attentively. It doesn't taste like it.

"Ruqing, what do you think of my tea?" Shui Rong put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile.

Lin Qing had already drank all the tea in the cup at this moment, and she could feel the taste, but...

"I'm a layman, and I don't have any noble aspirations. If I have to say it, this tea has a more pleasant aroma and a sweeter taste than ordinary tea. I can't taste anything else."

After listening to Lin Qing's words, Shui Rong smiled quietly, signaled the waiters to go down, then filled Lin Qing's teacup himself, and handed it to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing took it, took a sip, looked around, and couldn't help asking: "Shui Rong, is this bamboo Xiangfei bamboo?"

Shui Rong nodded, "Yes."

Lin Qing still didn't give up, and continued to ask, "What is the allusion to planting this bamboo?"

"There are no allusions, but I often had a dream a few years ago. In the dream, I came to a place shrouded in clouds and mists, and it was like a fairyland on earth. A large dense bamboo forest was planted there. There was bursts of music. I was curious, thinking it was someone like the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove', who knew..."

Speaking of this, Shui Rong blushed in a rare way.

Lin Qing listened anxiously, and hurriedly asked: "Who knows what?"

Shui Rong continued: "Who knows that when I got closer, I saw a fairy wearing a flower crown and embroidered clothes sitting there."

"Have you ever seen her face clearly?"

Shui Rong shook his head first, then nodded again.

"It's strange to say that during that time, I often had this dream. In the dream, I clearly remembered seeing the face of this fairy, but when I woke up, I forgot."

"However." Shui Rong added vowedly, "If I can see that fairy again, I will definitely recognize it at a glance."

Lin Qing fell silent after hearing his decisive tone.

"Ruqing." Shui Rong called him.

Lin Qing's thoughts were broken, and she hurriedly looked up at him.

Shui Rong smiled and said, "What are you doing here today? You can't just come to my place for tea, right?"

Lin Qing smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I really have something to bother you, it's just, hey!"

Seeing his sad face, Shui Rong knew that this matter was unusual, so he persuaded him: "Ruqing, but it's okay to say, I will help if I can."

Lin Qing sighed, "Since you say that, I don't hold back. That's right, I just got the news yesterday that my elder brother had a serious illness not long ago and is now in critical condition, but the higher-ups have no plans to send anyone to Jiangnan for a long time. "

How smart is water soluble?I understood the meaning of Lin Qing's words at once, and after pondering for a while, I gave my own opinion, "According to my understanding of the above, the Holy Majesty may have gotten the news a long time ago, and it may not be sure that he has made a perfect plan. You If you are really anxious, you should make the travel arrangements first, I guess it will only be two days, and when the order is issued, you will go immediately, there will be no delay."

call!Talking to smart people is comfortable.

Is he afraid that no one in Jiangnan will take charge of the overall situation?What he was afraid of was that he might not see Lin Ruhai for the last time!

Whether there is someone in the south of the Yangtze River who is in charge of the overall situation is not something he should worry about at all. Lin Ruhai's last words and life are also what he cares most about.

Shui Rong is really worthy of being someone who works in front of the imperial court, and he can indeed be called 'Seven Apertures Exquisite'.

Lin Qing was pointed out by Shui Rong, and hurriedly got up to salute, "Thank you, brother Shui Rong, for pointing out the bright way for brother Yu. If there is anything you can use brother in the future, just ask, brother, I will definitely help you!"

Shui Rong pulled Lin Qing up with some amusement, "I'll talk about it later. However, Ruqing, you are older than me, so I should call you 'brother'."

Lin Qing hurriedly waved her hand and refused in fright, "Don't dare, dare not! The lord is a man of heaven, the only one who can call the lord 'brother' is the sage, the younger brother is only a commoner, how can He De be worthy of the lord called 'brother'?" '?"

Royal Palace.

As soon as Xia Xu was busy with the work at hand, she rushed to the Hall of Yangyi, and when she got outside the hall, she bumped into a young man with high nose, deep eyes, blue eyes and brown hair.

The person who came was the sixth prince Xia Lu.

"See father." Xia Lu made a solemn salute.

Xia Xu said "Yes", "Get up."

Without saying much, he ignored Xia Lu who was standing beside him, and went straight to the hall in a hurry.

Seeing his father coming, Xia Zhen was about to get up and get out of bed, but was held down by Xia Xu who was walking two steps at a time.

"You are weak, you need to rest more, you don't need to salute."

Xia Xu sat down by the bed, looked at his son's face paler than paper, and sighed distressedly, "My son really suffered."

Xia Zhen smiled and comforted him: "Father, don't worry too much. The son knows about his son's body. It looks scary, but it's actually not a serious problem."

Xia Xu raised his hand to caress Xia Zhen's face, and said affectionately: "My son, your mother has been terrified of your illness all day long. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and most of her was haggard. I don't want to do anything else now. I hope you can get well as soon as possible, if something goes wrong with you, your mother may not be able to live anymore."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Xia Zhen was silent, he didn't know what to say, after thinking about it, he decided to change the subject, "Father, how is Jiangnan?"

Xia Xu took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch next to him and wiped the corners of his eyes, then said: "It's almost done. Lin Ruhai has some ability, and he handles everything that should be done and should not be done in an orderly manner. Now except for some finishing work, the rest It's all taken care of."

Xia Zhen nodded, "Lin Ruhai was born in a powerful family, so it's hard for him to be able to win by himself. It's difficult for other noble families to produce such a powerful junior."

Just as he was talking, the maid came with the medicine, and was about to feed it, but was stopped by Xia Xu.

"Let me do it."

"Father, how can this be done?" Xia Zhen was about to stop him, but was held down by Xia Xu again.

"You are my father's favorite son. Now that you are so sick, the only thing I can do is this. If I don't just watch your mother run around for you, I feel bad, alas!"

Xia Zhen felt very uncomfortable seeing his father, who was the Ninth Five-Year Lord, say this.

It is said that "children are the debts of their parents". Since childhood, Xia Xu and Concubine Xian have worried about his illness. No matter how much effort they put in, their illness is always good and bad, and there is no sign of color. It is sicker than before.

Born in an emperor's family, but received almost unreserved love from his parents, God can't stand it anymore, so he is plagued by all kinds of diseases?

Xia Zhen finished drinking the medicine with a complicated mood.

"Just now I met Xiaoliu outside the hall. That child is not sensible. He knows that you are weak and should rest more. It is too disrespectful to bother you. I will remind him tomorrow and tell him Don't bother you in the future."

Xia Zhen hurriedly stopped him, "Father, Xiao Liu also cared about me, and came to accompany me because he was afraid that I would be bored in the house all day long. A half-grown boy is just at the age where he loves to play and play, so it's hard for him to come to me in order to relieve my boredom." An Ansheng sat down."

After finishing speaking, Xia Zhen pointed to the rice paper on the desk, "The characters on it were only copied by Xiao Liufang. From what I can see, they are pretty good among her peers."

Xia Xu didn't have the slightest desire to look through it, and just said, "That's good if you agree."

Then the father and son chatted about political affairs for a while.

Xia Xu is a person who is impartial on the surface, but in fact he trains Xia Zhen to train the prince. He is not asked to go to the Imperial College to study under the pretext of Xia Zhen's frailty. Tuas.

The civil servants in the court naturally had opinions, but they only said it verbally. After all, Xia Xu was very "proprietary", and on the surface he did not reveal the slightest tendency to establish Xia Zhen as the prince.

As the eldest son, the third prince was treated even better than the favored fifth prince. The fifth prince himself was educated to be humble and friendly, so that no one could find any faults.

At most, it is said to be "eccentric".

But even fingers have lengths, let alone a real son?

Therefore, even if the officials knew that the emperor was playing hooligans and favoritism, there was nothing he could do.

In fact, it wasn't the first time Xia Xu had engaged in this kind of show operation.

Like the Queen and Concubine Xian.

Everyone in the world knows that the emperor respects the empress and is a man of courtesy, but he agrees with the concubine Xian, the most beloved concubine in the harem, from the bottom of his heart.

If you want to say that this is beyond the rules of etiquette, it is not.

After all, the concubine Xian always abides by her duties, and her family is more cautious than the other, a little out of line, that is, the emperor spends two-thirds of the time in January staying with her, but as a concubine, can she refuse? ?Can't wow!

On the contrary, as the queen who is the mother of the country, the crimes committed by her family are getting bigger and bigger. If the emperor is not suppressing her, she will be beheaded.

The people in other parts of Nanke Kingdom don't know, but the people in the capital have really felt the majesty of Uncle Guo.

Therefore, the favored concubine who should have been scolded by the world became the representative of "virtuous", while the empress who should have been admired and respected by the world made the people below dare not speak out!

What is this called!

During this period, Xia Xu still didn't do any tricks secretly. On the contrary, he still protected the queen's family most of the time, so that the people below lamented Xia Xu's benevolence and righteousness to the queen.

Tsk tsk, it's absolutely amazing.
