[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Lin Yan left the palace together with Situ Yue and Situ Ling.

At the gate of the palace, before Lin Yan's carriage arrived, Situ Ling looked around and said with a smile, "Let's take you back!"

Lin Yan was silent for a while, the emperor knew about his relationship with Situ Yue.Moreover, it is impossible for him to have nothing to do with the prince in Beijing.The fifth prince even made gestures to win him over a few times, so it's okay for Situ Ling to make some moves.And the carriage still belonged to Situ Yue.Sometimes being too cautious can arouse suspicion from others.So nodded.

The three got into the carriage, and the driver drove very slowly.

Inside the carriage, Situ Yue glared, "What are you doing! Tell Father about the teahouse, isn't it just telling him that we are in the same group!"

"Old Ninth!" Situ Ling held him down helplessly, "Yanzhi wants to make this matter clear in front of Father."

Situ Yue was taken aback for a moment, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied, "Even if it's like this, at least you should tell me in advance, I was almost scared to death."

Lin Yan laughed and picked up the teacup, "You surprised His Highness, how about using tea instead of wine to apologize to His Highness?"

The more Lin Yan was like this, the more embarrassed Situ Yue became, he hummed twice and stopped talking.

Only then did Lin Yan explain: "If the teahouse opens, you can hide it from others, but you may not be able to hide it from the emperor. Instead of explaining to the emperor later and making the emperor suspicious, it is better to say it earlier. Don't you think, Your Highness, now Is this situation better?

The emperor granted my request.He even said that he would pay for it.Then this teahouse is equivalent to that we opened it for the emperor.Once the teahouse becomes popular, the fifth prince will definitely find out our purpose and make trouble for it.But now with the emperor as the backing, the fifth prince has to weigh it up and dare not act.

also.All my contacts with His Highness have been reported to the Emperor, and even the Emperor personally agreed.Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.If it goes on like this for a long time, if His Highness has something to do in the future, it is normal for the Lin family to help him openly. "

He was guarding against the day when the alliance between the Lin family and the third prince would be exposed, and the emperor would only think that it was the result of his own creation.

Situ Yue looked at Lin Yan with frowned eyebrows, "What did you write in that book? How can you have such a great skill?"

Lin Yan pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.Situ Ling narrowed his eyes, "It's not that Huabenzi has such a great ability, but that my father is determined to send troops to Beirong. Over the years, my father has been regretting the death of Zhenbeihou, but it's a pity that battle that year."

Yes, can you not regret it?

It is okay to seize the heir, but at least there must be a bottom line, the interests of the family and the country must not be touched, let alone collusion with foreign clans, so as to ignore the safety of the Great Zhou.Fortunately, there was still Princess Qinghui in that battle, who turned the tide and saved the morale of the army.Otherwise, the result will be disastrous.

Prince Yizhong would rather lose the city and let foreigners enter, but also destroy His Majesty's wings and refuse to let His Majesty gain power.How can His Majesty not hate it?

Even if he is not a good husband or father nowadays, he can definitely be regarded as a good emperor.

As far as the world is concerned, he is also diligent in governing and loving the people, and has done his best.As far as the courtiers are concerned, although they are suspicious, they have no desire.

Therefore, the words good and bad are too simple to say, and a person's evaluation is definitely more than such a single standard.

Lin Yan lifted the curtain and looked out, and seeing that he had arrived at Ningrong Street, he turned around and said to Situ Ling, "I'm here, Your Highness is going to Mr. Liu's residence, I'm afraid I have to go back to the residence to explain something."

After finishing speaking, he had a look of shame on his face, "It's my idea that I didn't consider thoroughly, which made His Highness hurt."

Situ Ling smiled, "Since the beginning of the debt owed by the Ministry of Households, I knew that this road was not easy to follow. You also said that when you mentioned that idea. This is an act that offends people and is easy to leave a bad name. .At that time, I thought that I would encounter various problems. But I didn't expect that they wanted to force them with 'death'."

Lin Yan's eyes flashed, he knew that Situ Ling understood.

Letting Situ Ling go to Mr. Liu's house to take advantage of his good reputation is partly to make their plan fall short, and partly to prevent the Fifth Prince or the First Prince from taking the opportunity to directly make Mr. Liu's illness come true, and even let him die .

As a result, Situ Ling's reputation was completely ruined.Being mean and ruthless, forcing the elders of the two dynasties to death, what do people think when word spreads?Who dares to let such a person take that position, what will happen to them old ministers then?

call-

The carriage stopped, Lin Yan stood up, said "Your Highness, be careful" and jumped off, watching the carriage turn around and drive out of Ningrong Street, then turned and entered Jia's Mansion.But he didn't go back to his courtyard, but went to find Jia Lian.

Now that the situation has been settled, it is time for the Jia family to owe money.

********

The next day, the news spread that Situ Ling was sympathetic to his subordinates and condescended to take care of the elders of the two dynasties.

One day, these rumors intensified.Some people even said that the king of Kangjun really took the medicine himself, and he said it vividly, as if he was watching from the side.

Lin Yan knew that this was the trick of Situ Ling and Situ Yue.Even if there is no Jinhe Tea House, there are other ways for rumors to spread.Especially with the emperor's help behind this, it would be even easier.

On the third day, as expected by Lin Yan, Lord Liu's "condition" began to improve.

On the seventh day, Master Liu was almost recovered.Situ Ling wrote to His Majesty to request that the interest of the family who repays the money next month be waived.The emperor will play.

On the eighth day, Master Liu was grateful for Situ Ling's actions, and thought of his courtiers in the two dynasties, who were deeply favored by the emperor, unable to serve the court, and even caused trouble to the court.Regretted and regretted, he took the "only" box of silver at home to the household department, paid one-third of the owed silver first, and signed an agreement to pay off the remaining two-thirds in five years.

On the ninth day, Jia Lian followed in the footsteps of Lord Liu and went to the household department, but the contract was not five years, but ten years.

On the tenth day, people began to follow suit.More and more people are going to Hubu.

At the beginning of April, the household department owed money to the household department for more than two months, and it was finally resolved satisfactorily, and the court gradually returned to calm, and there were no more disturbances.

At the same time.A new teahouse opened at the intersection of the busiest market in Beijing.Name: Yipin Tea House.

"Hey, where are you going to go today?"

"Go and listen to books at Jinhe Tea House!"

"Yo, you still go to the Jinhe teahouse? Everyone has gone to the Yipin teahouse. It's the new one. I heard that there is a storyteller in this teahouse, and the stories are not old ones, but new ones. Written. I heard that the emperor has read the story book, and even the emperor praised it!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't it? I went to listen to it twice, and what I said was really good! Poor Dragon Palace Princess Huluopingyang, fortunately Liu Yi helped pass the book on, otherwise I don't know what the situation is. Hey!"

"It's strange that I've always heard people talking about Liu Yi these two days, and I thought it was a genius who came out from somewhere in the capital. So it turned out to be someone from the book?"

"That's right! The story I've been telling these days is called "The Biography of Liu Yi."

"Even the emperor agrees, that must be something extraordinary. I really want to see it! Let's go, let me treat you today, let's go to Yipin Teahouse together!"

……

However, within three days, the number of customers from Yipin Teahouse came like a cloud, in full swing, and instantly robbed half of Jinhe Teahouse's business.

With a royal background, and the emperor helping to advertise, who is not curious?

Situ Yue was elated, but Lin Yan suddenly poured cold water on him.

"Your Highness, don't be too happy too early. Now that the teahouse has just opened, and the emperor's personal comments are used as an introduction, everyone is curious and naturally come to see it. After a while of freshness, I'm afraid it will cool down."

Situ Yue frowned, "If that's the case, what about your "Han Gong Qiu"?"

"Of course we have to wait. This book is of great use to us, so we can't use it rashly. We have to find a way to maintain the popularity of Yipin Tea House. If this trend can stabilize, we will have a chance to achieve what we want. Effect."

Lin Yan smiled and looked at the newly written scripts in his hand - "The Injustice of Dou E" and "The Story of the West Chamber".

The former is suitable for attracting ordinary people.The latter is suitable for attracting students and scholars.

"Go! Let's go into the palace!"

********

Situ Kun scolded: "I let you do it freely, but when did I let you do it in my name! What else do you say, I praise you for your good words?"

Situ Kun was in a good mood, not to mention that he knew the purpose of the teahouse's final appearance in "Han Gong Qiu", so he was never really angry about Lin Yan's innocuous little gesture, even though he scolded him on the face.

Situ Yue on the other side could see clearly, and so could Lin Yan.So he was not afraid at all, instead he laughed like a dog, "Your Majesty forgot, you said that day, how talented the student is, and this talent is all in the storybook, isn't it considered a boast?"

Situ Kun was dumbfounded. He really said that, but... is this the same as what he said?

"The student has written two more books. Would you like to read them again?" Lin Yan smiled and blinked, and presented the scriptures.

Still want to do the same thing?Situ Kun snorted and ignored it.

Situ Yue smiled and said, "Father, believe it or not, even if you ignore it, this guy can come up with an explanation."

Situ Kun looked up at Lin Yan, who nodded.

"If the emperor doesn't comment, the students can say that even the emperor doesn't know how to evaluate Mr. Tai Xu's new book."

Lin Yan looked at Situ Kun's shocked face, and said again: "If the emperor can't speak well, the students can also say that Mr. Taixu's new script, the emperor reprimanded it as unsightly."

Situ Yue was completely in admiration. He just said it casually, but it turned out that Lin Yan really had such a way.Good and bad, he said it all!Regardless of whether it is good or bad, with the emperor as the introduction, everyone will be curious to see what the emperor said was good, or the emperor said it was bad, or the emperor didn't know how to evaluate it.

This method is simply shameless.

Lin Yan touched his nose. In fact, this is not his idea, but it has been said by people in later generations.Some things are different when you have a relationship with a celebrity.

Just like an ordinary piece of clothing, if it is worn by a certain superstar, and then taken out for a charity auction, it will definitely sell for ten times or more than the actual price of the clothing.

The same goes for ancient times.Even because there was no complete entertainment industry system in ancient times, there were not many "celebrities" that people could chase after.As a result, the chasing effect and fan stickiness of "celebrities" have greatly developed.

Not to mention, this "celebrity" is still His Majesty today!

In this era of kings, relatives and teachers in the world, Lin Yan absolutely believed that even if he hung a piece of handkerchief used by the emperor on the teahouse, some people would definitely pay homage to him when he passed by.

This is the so-called celebrity effect, authority effect.

There is no such thing as spokesperson in this era.But Lin Yan made the emperor actually act as the spokesperson of the teahouse once.

As for Lin Yan's ghostly idea and his level of scoundrel, Situ Kun could only snort.However, this behavior did not cause any damage to his reputation or image.And if it can achieve the effect of making "Han Palace Autumn" popular in the capital, it is not impossible.

"how long it takes?"

Lin Yan was startled, this means that he was allowed to use this method.Lin Yan had a bottom line in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter! Twenty vertical telescopes are ready. They can be transported to the border at any time. The hand/crossbow has entered the production process, and it will come soon. But these things have passed, and the local garrison must learn to use them." , but also be good at using it. Therefore, in terms of public opinion in the book, you can wait a little longer."

Situ Kun nodded, "I understand."

Just as he was talking, the little yellow door came in from outside, "Your Majesty, King Min Jun is asking to see you outside."

Lin Yan and Situ Yue were taken aback for a moment, looked at each other, and then heard Situ Kun say: "You two go down first."

The two bowed in response and backed out.

Situ Yue couldn't help but glanced back at Situ Feng who entered the hall, frowned and leaned closer to Lin Yan's ear, "You don't think he realized that our teahouse was set up to fight them on purpose, so he came to complain?"

"Does your Highness think it is possible?"

The words in "Liu Yi's Biography" were evaluated by the emperor, no matter how the evaluation came from, at least it shows that Mr. "Taixu" has some contacts with the emperor.The fifth prince is not stupid, so he can guess one or two.And it was precisely because of his guess that he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to make an idea of ​​Yipin Tea House.

What's more, about the business field, sue?The fifth prince's brain is not broken yet!

Situ Yue was so irritated by Lin Yan's expression of "Are you a fool?", he rolled his eyes in displeasure, "I'm just talking casually! Is that what you look like?"

Situ Yue frowned, "What do you think he's here for?"

Lin Yan spread his hands and shrugged, and passed the book in his hand, "I will always know. Why be so anxious. Your Highness first find a way to let the storyteller get familiar with these two books. "Liu Yi Biography" has been said for four or five years. God, the popularity has passed its peak and is showing a downward trend. We need to launch a new storybook soon to stabilize it."

Situ Yue agreed, and then muttered and complained that he had worked his life for Lin Yan.Lin Yan smiled and ignored it.

The two parted at the gate of the palace.Situ Yue went to the tea house, but Lin Yan returned to Jia's mansion.He couldn't be more leisurely than Situ Yue, and he still had the Imperial Academy's homework to do.In particular, Lin Ruhai specially sent a lot of homework over.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan's mood fell instantly.

It's all due to that Situ Kun in the palace who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement!Is it really okay for the emperor to like watching operas so much, and his plays?

Lin Yan returned to the courtyard with his head bowed, only to find rustling sounds coming from the bushes at the door.Lin Yan turned to look, but Jia Baoyu was crying.

"What's the matter? Why are you here alone, and where is the girl next to you?" Asking, she pulled him into the room.

Seeing it, Hongqu asked in surprise, "Why is Second Master Bao here? The old lady is looking crazy. Just now, Xiren came to ask!"

Lin Yan looked at Jia Baoyu with an increasingly puzzled expression.

But Jia Baoyu jumped up and hugged Lin Yan without letting go, "I won't go back! Cousin Lin, don't send me back!"

Lin Yan was a little surprised by such a strong rebellious emotion, and gave Hongqu a look.Hongqu turned around and backed out.Only then did Jia Baoyu relax.

After a while, a little girl came in with hot water.Jia Baoyu raised his heart again, seeing the little girl put down the water and left, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lin Yan didn't ask any questions, but twisted the handkerchief to wipe his tears.

He didn't like Jia Baoyu in the book very much, but now Jia Baoyu is only six years old, still ignorant, somewhat intelligent, somewhat naive, and carved with jade, which is really not very annoying.Besides, Lin Yan didn't intend to push everything to someone who hadn't done anything yet.Just like Jia Mu.

Even though Jia's mother in the book insisted on taking Daiyu into the mansion, it eventually led to Daiyu's ending.But at this time, Jia Mu hasn't done anything yet, and she is still kind to him.Even if he can't reciprocate, he doesn't want to mess up his mind because he is too afraid of the original work and too immersed in the known story.

Coincidentally, Jia Baoyu was emotional, and the more Lin Yan was like this, the more he cried, and instead he talked about the cause and effect.

"Ever since my eldest sister came back from Plum Blossom Temple, she has kept me from studying. When I refused, she told my father that he would always scold me. I told the old lady, but the old lady didn't protect me as usual. , instead told me to study hard. Said that the big sister was doing it for my own good!"

Lin Yan's eyes flickered.After all, the second room is different!

In the book, the second room occupies the position of the head of the family, with the support of Jia's mother and the support of the noble concubine, so Baoyu can naturally play around with her young age.But now, Erfang is in an embarrassing situation. Although Jia Yuanchun's "filial piety" act, it only has some effect on her personally, and cannot benefit Erfang.

Jia Zheng has been like this for the rest of his life.This point, I think Jia Zheng knew it himself, Jia Yuanchun knew it, and Jia Mu knew it even more.

And Jalan?Not to mention that from Jia Mu Jia Zheng to Jia Yuanchun did not pay enough attention to this child, let alone Jia Lan is not yet two years old, what can you tell?

Therefore, they can only place their hopes on Baoyu, who is old enough to start school, and who is still intelligent and spiritual.

Only when he stands up can the second room have hope.The old lady still has a chance to realize the idea of ​​replacing the elders with the younger ones.

Therefore, even if the old lady dotes on Baoyu again, she must want him to be successful now.

Lin Yan laughed. Sure enough, people have completely different fates in different environments and situations.

"I haven't seen my wife for a long time. They all said that my wife has gone to heaven. I met my uncle today, and my uncle also said... He also said that my wife is dead, that my wife is a poisonous woman, and that I am her son. nice one."

Lin Yan froze. From this point of view, it was not just for studying.However, at Jia Baoyu's age, it was really difficult for him to endure great changes in his family, the death of his biological mother, and to be charged with crimes.

But for Wang, he can't say too much, after all, if it is true, this chess game has been planned by him from the very beginning.Therefore, he could only ignore it automatically, and asked, "You don't like reading?"

"What's so good about studying! My eldest sister said that I will go to the examination for merit and become a high-ranking official in the future. But in my opinion, those are lu beetles!"

A six-year-old child knows what a lu beetle is.Lin Yan suddenly laughed, "My father and your uncle are also scholars, and you are also a high-ranking official. Even me, I will also become an official from the imperial examination in the future, and I will also be a salary beetle?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned. In fact, he just said that and didn't mean to scold Lin Ruhai and Lin Yan.Hearing Lin Yan's question, thinking that his words seemed to have scolded them together, he was very embarrassed, and his face flushed red.

"Cousin Lin is naturally different from them. Although I have never met my uncle, from my cousin's point of view, my uncle must also be a glorious man."

Although he doesn't have much contact with Lin Yan, he has always liked this good-looking cousin.

Lin Yan shook his head, "In this way, you also admit that not all officials in the court are greedy for official positions and salaries, bow down for power and benefit, and become their slaves, don't you?"

Jia Baoyu had never thought about this question, so he was a little confused for a while.

Lin Yan asked again, "Besides, in your eyes, reading is just to become an official, and if you don't want to be an official, you don't have to study?"

"Then why are you studying?"

"Reading to understand reason, to increase wisdom, to cultivate one's morality. Knowing right from wrong to distinguish good from evil, knowing black and white to distinguish loyalty from evil. Cultivating one's morality, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world."

Jia Baoyu raised his small head, "Is it what my cousin once said, to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and to bring peace to all generations?"

Lin Yan was taken aback, "You know this at a young age?"

"I've already studied ethnology, and my master said so. The master often praises my cousin, saying that my cousin is a man of great talent, and what's rare is that he has righteousness."

Lin Yan was surprised, touched his nose a little guilty, is he so famous now?

As the two were talking, the red song had been notified to Jia's mother's courtyard, and Jia Yuanchun had come to look for it in person.When Jia Baoyu saw it, his face collapsed instantly.

"Baoyu, let's go back with my sister!"

Jia Baoyu was unwilling in his heart, but he still walked over anyway.Jia Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief, took him by the hand, and thanked Lin Yan.

After the two of them left, Qiu Ming hurried in with a letter in his hand.

Lin Yan hurriedly took it and opened it for a look, only to find that there was only one sentence inside.

Lin Ruhai was assassinated!I don't know if I live or die!

Lin Yan's heart felt as if someone had hit him with a hammer, his complexion turned pale, his figure shook, his hand shook, the letter let go and fell down.

The author has something to say: Brother Lin is not a holy father.For Jia Baoyu, it was only because Jia Baoyu was still young at this time.I happened to come across it, and I felt it and said a few words.It would be a good thing if Jia Baoyu could think clearly.If you don't understand.Brother Lin also didn't mean to guide Jia Baoyu as a bosom brother.Brother Lin has too many things to do and is very busy.Can't take care of Jia Baoyu.

The reason why there is this plot is that I want to use it to explain the changes in Erfang's situation and pave the way for the following chapters.

I also want to reflect Brother Lin's behavior and state of mind.

It's like some rebirth texts.From the perspective of the protagonist, it is not wrong for him to take revenge on the person who caused him such misery in the previous life.

But for the supporting role, the previous life is the previous life, and I have done nothing to you in this life.It's too bad, isn't your revenge wrong?

And if the protagonist is immersed in the pain of the previous life and blindly revenges, he has lost his heart.

I don't want Brother Lin to become such a person just because he knows about the Red Chamber.

It is Wang.Brother Lin didn't like it, but he didn't plan to make a move at first.I just want to help Jia Lian by the way.So he took Jia Lian to Shen's residence.After Jia Lian's relationship with the Shen family became closer, Brother Lin would stand on the same side with Jia Lian just because of the Shen family.This is a matter of position, not that brother Lin is going to harm people because of the prejudice of the characters in the book.

Furthermore, the beginning of Wang's accident was planned by them, but the ending was not.I will say this later.I have laid some threads, but haven't unfolded them yet.Don't worry.

Again, let’s talk about Baoyu.I might blackmail Jia Yuanchun, Jia Zheng, and Wang, but I don't really want to black him.

Because I always feel that even though he has all kinds of bad things, his heart is good.There are still many advantages to be seen in him.

He could never be equal to Jia Mu and Wang Shi.

In other words, I think he's actually a smart, good kid.Unfortunately, the best upbringing in childhood is the precepts and deeds of parents.And what did Jia Zheng and Wang teach?What is the environment in the Jia Mansion?What are the virtues of the men in Jia's mansion that Jia Baoyu sees every day?Under such an environment, Jia Zheng only knows how to beat and scold forcefully, while Jia Mu only knows how to pamper and spoil.A variety of reasons created his character of being unable to take responsibility.

But even so, even in such a messy environment in Jia's mansion, he still maintained a pure heart.Keep his innocence, his purity.

Daiyu will not ration Jia Baoyu.But Jia Baoyu, I don't plan to go black.What will happen to Jia Baoyu in the future, let's see the development of the following article.
