[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

At this time, it has come to Youshizheng.The days are short and the nights are long in winter, the sky is low and darkness is falling.The bustling market during the day is silent, only the bright red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the shops are bright.

The horse's hooves stepped on, and the cold wind suddenly picked up. Lin Yan's mind was suddenly cleared by this blow.In order to show his ability and make the emperor feel that the telescope is not easy, he explained the skills and craftsmanship of making it particularly difficult.Now that the Lin family has something to do, he has quickly done it, which is too obvious, what will the emperor think?

Lin Yan shivered, and the horse slowed down.Taking advantage of the situation, Situ Yue hurriedly chased him, blocked his way, and raised his hand to hold his rein, "Don't worry, what's the use of going back to Jiangnan now?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Did Situ Yue think he was going to Yangzhou?

"Not to mention Lord Lin, even your mother and younger siblings have hidden guards of the emperor, and you asked for it yourself. You will never forget it, right?

Bai Zhi has been with you for so long now, you know her skills.The people sent by her father are the same group as her, who not only possess kung fu, but also know medical skills.Very accessible.Even if the Zhen family wanted to do something, they had to weigh whether they had the ability.

Now that you have a heavy responsibility, your father has placed so much hope in you, and is looking forward to you making things day and night.Now if you are arguing to go back to the south because of this matter, what will father think?Besides, it is an imperial decree for you to stay in Beijing!Going out of Beijing is also against the decree! "

Situ Yue's tone was strong, but his voice was kept low, as if he was afraid that others would listen to him.Lin Yan looked at the fine sweat spots on his forehead, and he was still panting, which showed that he was chasing him all the way without stopping.Thinking about the sincerity of his words, I suddenly felt very ashamed.

Although Situ Yue is the prince, but when getting along these days, he really treats him as a friend.But he...

Lin Yan looked dazed and didn't answer.Situ Yue thought he didn't listen, and became even more anxious, instead of holding his horse to hold his shoulder, he was afraid that he would suddenly run away without a trace.

"Master Lin's skills can be seen just from the matter of the Cao Gang. He can retreat from a Cao Gang with ease. And the Zhen family who has lost the Cao Gang, how capable is it? Think about it. When you were in Beijing, Master Lin must have explained to you, don’t worry about it and you will be in chaos!”

These words reminded Lin Yan that when he set off from Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai did tell him that he should stay calm in Beijing and not act recklessly.At that time, he only regarded it as an ordinary admonition, but now he thinks it comes from a deep meaning.

Lin Yan's hand holding the rein was tight, but his mood finally calmed down.He looked at Situ Yue with shame on his face, "Your Highness is right!"

Situ Yue lost his mind so easily, and stared at Lin Yan in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"I know what's going on in my heart. It's just that my father's plan in Jiangnan is hidden from me. I suddenly heard it and lost my mind, so I lost my mind. Now I calm down and think about it. Although my father is worried about me, he also believes that I am in Beijing. I can do the best I can. Why don't I trust him?"

Lin Yan pulled the rein and immediately made the horse turn around.Situ Yue stood alone in the middle of the market, "Where are you going?"

"Jia Mansion! Your Highness forgot, I haven't been back for quite some time!"

Situ Yue's face turned as if he was constipated.So, what are you doing when you come out in such a hurry!

Situ Yue said angrily, "You don't want the carriage anymore?"

Lin Yan was already walking far away, only the voice came from the front, "Your Highness, please send someone to Jia's house tomorrow."

Situ Yue's face turned even darker.Dare to love, my grand prince, a county king, when did he become your errand runner!Damn!There are not many people in this world who dare to order this king, how courageous they are!

However, Lin Yan had no sense of offending the prince, and had already leisurely returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Today's Rongguo Mansion is completely different from what he entered the mansion.

Now that the big house is in charge of the house, the personnel in various places have naturally changed a lot, even the concierge has two new faces.The atmosphere in the mansion is even more indescribable.Mother Jia seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, the wrinkles on her face had deepened by two points, and the hair on her head had also turned white.

Lin Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although he had no feelings for the Jia family, Jia's mother treated him sincerely these days.Unfortunately, because of his preconceptions about the characters in the book, he couldn't reciprocate equally.

He knelt down and held Jia Mu's hand, "Old lady, it's all my fault. But at this time, the emperor is here and not in the mansion. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. When I left, Bai Zhi He also said that his cousin sister-in-law is very nice, and that the matter about the second aunt was just a misunderstanding. Unexpectedly..."

Lin Yan lowered his head, as if he was sad.But only he himself knew, he was just feeling a little bit emotional.He will never help in this matter, not to mention that there is his handwriting behind it.Therefore, the only way to escape is to use the "emperor's order" as a cover.

Mother Jia didn't blame him for this, she was even a little bit lucky.Lin Yan is not here, neither is Bai Zhi.It lowered her risk by one layer.

"How can you be blamed for this? No matter how big the matter is, it's nothing more than going to the emperor. Now that you're back, what the emperor asked you to do has been done? What exactly are you being asked to do during this New Year's festival?"

Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said bluntly: "Old lady, it's not that Yaner doesn't want to say it, but she can't. The old lady is also a person who has experienced storms, so she understands that some things are better not to know than to know."

Mother Jia was startled, looked at him for a while, and became more and more suspicious in her heart.It was Wang Xifeng who came out to smooth things over, "It's good that my cousin is back. Since you're back, I need your help with something."

"Cousin, please tell me."

"I'm afraid my cousin doesn't know. Since the day my wife passed away, my elder sister passed out. It has been a few days and she has been ill. I have invited all the imperial doctors, but it has not recovered.

I thought that no matter the imperial physician or the doctor, they were all men, so I might not be able to carefully check the situation of the elder sister.The girl next to you is also a doctor and a woman, so it is more convenient to see and ask. "

"I don't know what it is. Is there any help here? It should be. Speaking of it, Bai Zhi should have come back one step earlier than me."

He was dragged out of the glass factory by Situ Yue. If he left, Bai Zhi would naturally return to Jia's mansion.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's back. But she belongs to you, so you sent the message anyway."

Lin Yan was taken aback and understood.This is untouchable without him.Lin Yan agreed with a smile, turned around and went back to the room to invite Bai Zhi.It's a pity that after Bai Zhi's pulse diagnosis, the answer was no different from that of the imperial physician.

"The eldest girl is suffering from a heart disease. Presumably she experienced this accident suddenly and couldn't bear the pain of losing her mother. That's why it happened. Just wait for her to think about it."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, heart disease is heart disease, but it is hard to say if it is not because of the pain of losing his mother.

His eyes brightened, he looked towards Rong Qingtang, and the corners of his mouth curled up.Jia Yuanchun is really a character, but he underestimated her in the past.

suicide?Who says suicide can't have ghosts?

Why did Mrs. Wang not commit suicide sooner or later, but after Jia Yuanchun went to see her in the cell?

Lin Yan snorted a sneer, waved Bai Zhi back, and began to write a letter.As for the matter of Jiangnan, since he already knew about it, there was no need for Lin Ruhai to keep it a secret from him.He always needs to know more carefully so that he knows how to cooperate in Beijing.

********

"No! No! Ma'am... ma'am... ah..."

Jia Yuanchun sat up in shock, his body was sticky and sweaty, and he was shaking all over.After a long while, I gradually regained my sanity.On the other hand, Baoqin was much calmer, and he was so skillful that he poured the hot water that was always warm on the brazier and handed it over, and then went to find a handkerchief to wipe Jia Yuanchun's sweat, tears fell down involuntarily while wiping.

"Miss, my wife has already gone, please be sorry. You must take care of yourself. You still have the master, the old lady, and the second master Bao! Even if the wife is alive in heaven, she doesn't want to see To a girl like this."

There are spirits in heaven?These four words made Jia Yuanchun tremble for no reason, and he dared not speak.

Mrs. Wang didn't die by her hands, but also because of her.

After all, it is her mother, can she feel better?

In the past few days, she couldn't sleep all night and night, and she could see Mrs. Wang as soon as she closed her eyes.I will remember when I was a child, Mrs. Wang hugged and coaxed her.Because she was brought up by the old lady, although the old lady has always loved her very much, but Mrs. Wang was still afraid that she would be cold and hungry, so she tried to send someone to bring her something.

When did it change?It was after Baoyu was born.Also she is growing up.The old lady and Mrs. Wang suddenly tightened up on her upbringing.They told her that she was going to the palace.She wants to be a noble concubine, to win honor for the family, and to be the support of her brothers.

Then, the family hired a nanny for her, followed by endless homework and endless rules.Sometimes walking and standing have to be practiced all day.

She couldn't stand the pain and had trouble twice.Wang hugged her and cried, but only said that she was ignorant, and told her that it would be fine if she got over it.

Only the eldest brother Jia Zhu said a lot for her, but neither the old lady nor the Wang family listened.

Later, Jia Zhu could only tell her in private, telling her not to worry.She is a woman, they should be their brothers to be her reliance, but let her be their reliance.She also said that when he is in high school and has a future, she won't have to work so hard.

Unfortunately, Jia Zhu died.die young.After that, the family became more determined about her entry into the palace, and there was no turning back.It was also from this moment that she heard the most words at home, to be a noble concubine and to take care of Baoyu.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help thinking of what Wang said in prison.

"Only one thing, you have to always remember that no matter what, Baoyu is always your real brother."

"I gave you Baoyu!"

……

Baoyu, Baoyu, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help laughing at herself, was she born for Baoyu?

She looked up at the sky, "What time is it?"

"It's about time."

Jia Yuanchun frowned slightly, "It's too late, it's too troublesome to make the kitchen re-make food, I'm afraid there will be disturbances again. Is there any pastry in the room, bring me some, I'm a little hungry."

Hugging the piano for a meal, her face was full of surprises, Jia Yuanchun hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and now she offered to eat, how could she not be happy.

"No trouble, no trouble! Miss, don't worry, I had someone make porridge and vegetables earlier, and put them in the next room to keep warm, just in case the girl wakes up and wants to eat. I'll go get them right away."

Jia Yuanchun nodded, looking at the back of leaving with the piano in his arms, his expression was in a daze.

It's a loyal one.Pity.

She looked down at the hot tea in her hand, slowly got out of bed and walked to the window, sprinkled the tea on the floor, and murmured: "Madam, please go at ease. You also said that people are selfish, and I am just selfish." That's all. Now that you've gone, it's easy to go all the way. As for Baoyu..."

Jia Yuanchun paused, and then said: "Don't worry. I know he is my own younger brother. When I come out one day, I will never forget him. I will do what I promised you. So is the medicine. What you said , Tell me to forget it and never mention it again. I will definitely forget it completely and cleanly.”

After finishing speaking, Jia Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and a tear dripped down his cheek.

At this moment, there seemed to be something in her heart that was suddenly lost, empty.But she didn't regret it, and she didn't regret the way to go.

********

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.Because Mrs. Wang committed suicide in a scandal, the funeral was dismissed hastily and nothing major was done.Although the atmosphere in the mansion is not right, the New Year is always coming.Seeing this, Lin Yan proposed to go to the Lin family's ancestral house to celebrate the New Year.

Jia Mu didn't agree at first.However, Lin Yan said that it is a common ritual to worship ancestors during the New Year.He was surnamed Lin, so he couldn't follow the Jia family to worship the ancestors, but let the incense of the Lin family's ancestral hall be neglected.Usually, the Lin family doesn't have a master in the capital, so that's all.Since he is here this year, there is no reason not to go.

Mother Jia couldn't refute this statement, and also worried that Jia's mansion had just suffered a round of heavy losses, and the situation of this year's festival was not very good, so she didn't insist, so she agreed.

Lin Yan returned to the Lin family, and Lin Huai had already prepared everything.Although it was Lin Yan's first time to preside over the ancestor worship, but in Yangzhou in previous years, Lin Ruhai had also done it, and with Lin Huai's help, there would be no major problems.

However, what he never expected was that after the ancestor worship, when he wanted to stand up, Lin Huai stopped him.

Lin Huai's complexion was very strange, and he fell silent after calling "Master".Lin Yan raised his head and looked at him for a while, feeling a little impatient, so he bravely took out a letter, "Master knows about the renovation of the house."

Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, as long as he knew it, he had already reported it to repair the house, isn't it normal to know?But in the blink of an eye, something was wrong.Lin Huai was obviously not talking about repairing the house, but that he moved the ancestral hall.

Lin Yan's heart trembled.Then I saw Lin Huai crossed his head and lowered his head.

"Master gave an order, twenty boards or kneeling for three hours, grandpa chooses one!"

Lin Yan's face turned down in an instant, and he took a look at the letter, and it was indeed so.And Lin Ruhai scolded him enough in the letter, brat, little bastard, a lot of words.Lin Yan really wanted to ask, if he was a little brat, would Lin Ruhai be an old brat?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's furious expression suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yan's eyes, and he shrank his neck subconsciously.

He turned his head and glared at Lin Huai with a very bad look on his face.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, if he didn't tell, how would Lin Ruhai know!

Lin Huai only felt his scalp go numb, "Master, I have nothing to do with this slave. If you don't tell Master, I'm afraid that Master will lift the roof off one day."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "The roof of our house is very grand, and I'm very satisfied that we don't have to lift the heavy cover!"

Lin Huai wants to cry but has no tears. If he is not satisfied with this, will he really blow it up?Sure enough, it was right to tell the master.Facing Lin Yan, Lin Huai just felt that another heart was not enough for him, so he knelt down directly.

"The uncle is the master, and the servants dare not do anything to the uncle. Therefore, I can only ask the uncle to kneel down in grievances, but it will be almost three hours before dawn!"

What do you mean it's not more than three hours, and it's almost time to wait until dawn!

Three hours, that is six hours!Do you want his legs anymore!

Lin Yan subconsciously looked down at the futon under her knees, and finally understood why Lin Huai had to let him use this just now.Because this is the biggest, thickest and softest.

Then he looked up at the ruler enshrined in front of the ancestral tablet.It is said that it is the family law of the Lin family. It is about eight inches long, two inches and five inches wide, and six inches thick.It is not ordinary wood, with no specific texture, but it has gone through several generations and is immortal.

Lin Yan touched it, and it felt cold, more like black iron.It was different from the board Lin Ruhai used to beat him in Jiangnan.Very unusual.You can imagine how painful this thing is on the ass.

Lin Yan once rejoiced that his family went to the south of the Yangtze River when he was young, instead of being in Beijing.Otherwise, if Lin Ruhai used this thing to beat him since he was a child, he probably wouldn't even be able to breathe.

Lin Yan shivered here, but he didn't want to kneel for three hours!

"Uncle Huai, why don't we have a discussion, and you will be me..." Lin Yan turned his head, no one was there!As long as he was in a daze for a while, Lin Huai quickly got up and ran, and even closed the door of the ancestral hall for him very "intimately"!

Lin Yan's teeth were chattering!Well, good job!Don't think that you are an old servant of the Lin family, so I dare not touch you!

Well, I really dare not move.But it wasn't because he was an old servant, but because Lin Huai was Lin Ruhai's confidant, especially because he was at fault for this matter.

Lin Yan was discouraged, but in an instant she felt that Lin Ruhai was very shameful!

Jiangnan affairs are not enough for you!All the way to write a letter to scold him, forget it, and also specifically asked Lin Huai to punish him!Especially on New Year's Eve!

Don't you know that children are not punished during the Chinese New Year?Your wife and children are living comfortably in the south of the Yangtze River, but it would be miserable for me to celebrate the New Year in Beijing alone, okay?You come here for me!

Just thinking about it makes me angry!Well, it's about to explode!

Lin Ruhai, your operations are simply 666!Even if the old lady refuses to accept it, she will obey you!

Damn!

Lin Yan gritted his teeth, looked at the ancestors ranking in front of him, and burst into tears!

Fortunately, the heating in the ancestral hall is sufficient, and the cushions under the knees are thick and soft enough, so I don't feel too painful.Lin Yan thought, look, he was absolutely right to install heating in the ancestral hall!Foresight!I knew that with Lin Ruhai's temperament of punishing him at every turn, it must be useful!So, it's really not his fault!

After thinking about it for a while, I don't know how long it took. Her feet felt numb. Lin Yan moved and changed her posture a little. There was a sound from the window on the left, it opened a crack, and then it was completely opened with a clatter. A gust of cold wind came in, Lin Yan subconsciously rolled up his collar, looked up and saw Situ Yue sitting on the window lattice, pointing at him and laughing.

Lin Yan's face completely darkened.

"Your Highness is so leisurely, why don't you have to attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve?"

"You don't even know what time it is. The palace banquet is over long ago. No one is allowed to stay in the palace, and the princes are going out of the palace. My elder brothers have no concubines but side concubines, so naturally they want to go home Go enjoy the warm and fragrant nephrite.

I am alone.I am the only master in the entire palace, thinking that you are the only master in the Lin family, I am afraid that you will be deserted, so I came to see you.As a result, your complaints are left behind! "

Situ Yue couldn't stop smiling.

The corners of Lin Yan's mouth twitched, hehe, I'd rather be alone, and I don't want your kindness!

Probably because Lin Yan's complexion was too ugly, and his gaze was too frightening, Situ Yue turned around and endured it, trying not to laugh too arrogantly.So Lin Yan heard a "pig cry".

After a long while, Situ Yue finally got tired of laughing, so he turned around and said in an afterthought tone: "Whoever asked you to move the ancestral hall, I said at the beginning, Master Lin will never forgive you!"

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, can you go or not?

Perhaps hearing Lin Yan's inner resentment, Situ Yue touched his nose, turned around and jumped out of the window to leave.Not long after Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw him jumping back again, throwing something wrapped in kraft paper into his arms.

Lin Yan opened it suspiciously, a roast chicken!Simply pleasantly surprised!

Situ Yue raised another jug ​​of wine with his right hand, "The new brewed wine in the palace tastes pretty good. I just took a jug. I wanted to bring it to you and leave, but your housekeeper said that it is inconvenient for you to see guests right now." I also thought that something happened to you or you were sick, and I grabbed him and asked him out, only to find out that you were punished to kneel. I really didn’t mean to laugh at you.”

hehe!Can we not mention this?Lin Yan had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, so he wisely chose to cross this topic, pointing to the roast chicken and saying, "What about this one?"

"It was stolen from your kitchen!"

Lin Yan paused for tearing the chicken leg, and looked at Situ Yue with fierce eyes.

Situ Yue had an innocent face, "It's fine to bring a bottle of wine out of the palace, but you don't expect me to bring out a roast chicken, do you?"

Situ Yue pouted at the worshiper in front of the memorial tablet, "I saw that there are a lot of sacrifices in your family, but you didn't move any of them. I guess you dared to move the ancestral hall a little bit, but you wouldn't dare to touch the offerings of your ancestors. So I just I can go to the kitchen and grab it."

Lin Yan no longer knew what expression to make.Does he seem to be someone who eats offerings from his ancestors?And what is moving the ancestral hall!He had to clarify this, and he put a heater on!Just install a heater!

Forget it, eating in the sky is the biggest.Lin Yan lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken leg seriously.

Drink and eat.Even though he was still kneeling, Lin Yan already felt a little sleepy.He looked at Situ Yue, "Your Highness is still leaving?"

Situ Yue straightened up and climbed up the window, "That's right! Father knows that your stuff is almost ready, and I want you to take it to the palace to meet him tomorrow. Don't forget!"

He turned around and jumped down, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Yan felt that the wind was messy!Drowsiness instantly disappeared without a trace!

Can you put the business ahead and talk about it!

He felt that he was in a really bad mood today.

He was punished on New Year's Eve, and he was seen and laughed at by outsiders for a long time. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he still has a sense of shame, okay?As a result, I knelt all night, and had to go to see the big boss the next day with all my heart, how can I be in a good mood?

Tired!

Lin Ruhai, you sent me as a phone bill, right?Oh, no, there is no such thing as charging phone bills in this era!That's what you picked up by passing under the flyover!Well, absolutely yes!

The author has something to say: Brother Lin will have a sudden change in painting style when facing Lin Ruhai.Hahaha.But this kind of funny painting style, I wrote it very happily.

Well, I must hurry up and let Lin Ruhai come to Beijing!

Brother Lin: If you don’t move, you will punish me!

Lin Ruhai: Why didn't you say that you would die at every turn?

Brother Lin: ...

So, what heroine are you looking forward to!I look forward to seeing how good Papa Lin and Brother Lin are!

Ha ha ha ha.Lizhi positioned Situ Yue as Brother Lin's super bad friend, or a bad friend who both were a bit deviant and had a wrong style of painting.

In the next chapter, I plan to ask Brother Lin to come up with something new.It seems that this new thing has not been seen before through the text.

At least I haven't seen it in the time travel articles I read.But I don't read too many articles, so I don't know if there are any.But I think it must not be a bad street. [Ahem, please don't be too serious about this, and don't think about the possibility of making it under the technological productivity at that time. 】

It has something to do with the telescope.But only to some degree.You can guess what it is.This estimate is a bit hard to guess.It doesn't matter, everyone just treats it as entertainment.The next chapter is revealed.
