[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

As soon as she got back to the courtyard, Daiyu was already waiting, so she asked, "What did mother say?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "What can I say! I think you are too nervous. What are you worrying about at such a young age?"

Daiyu frowned, she was playing with her sisters, Jia Min suddenly sent someone to let her go.She didn't care at first, but she found out that something was wrong with Jia Min, and there were tears on her face.She asked, and Jia Min only said that he was blinded by the sand.Then he asked the girl to pack her things and said she wanted to go home.Along the way, his complexion has not been very good.

In such a situation, how could she be too nervous?

Lin Yan sighed: "I didn't want to tell you, but you came to expose my shortcomings. That's all. I said that's it. I made my father angry again. I just beat me again yesterday. My mother heard about it. I was in a hurry, so I hurried back."

Daiyu was stunned for a moment. After all, she was young, and although her mind was delicate, it was inevitable that she was not thoughtful. Thinking of Jia Min's nervousness towards Lin Yan, she believed it immediately after hearing this, and she was anxious and worried, "Brother, what is going on now? Is it okay? Has it ever hurt so badly?"

"It's not great. Father has a sense of proportion this time! Look at me, I'm not very good!"

In order to reassure Daiyu, Lin Yan jumped up and down a few times.Daiyu chuckled, and said angrily, "My brother doesn't know how to take care of himself. He knows that my mother and I are not here, but he still goes to make father angry."

A sister who is nine years younger than him saves him...

Lin Yan was so ashamed that she didn't know where to put her face.In order to make Daiyu feel at ease and stop thinking about Jia Min, he didn't even want to lose face, is it easy for him?

"Ahem, um... how are you doing in Jia's mansion?"

Changing the subject so awkwardly and bluntly, Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, but complied with Lin Yan's intentions, "Well, it's pretty good. The second sister is two or three years older than me, but the third sister is only younger than me." We have been together for a month. There are also four younger sisters. We are together every day, or turning the red rope, or playing, and we are very happy.

The second sister also taught us how to play chess, and even found flowers to sign out.It's just that we are still young and don't read many books.When we get older, we can also play Feihua Ling.Maybe even set up a poetry club. "

There was no mention of Jia Baoyu.With Jia Min and a lot of girls around, Lin Yan never worried that the situation in the book would reappear and Daiyu would be wronged.You must know that the situation of Erfang and Lin's family is completely different from that in the book.

Lin Yan looked at her and laughed, "As long as you like it! The little sisters form a poetry club and play flower lottery. It's just a boudoir fun. Who stipulates that you have to be older? It's just that you don't read much now, so you know Not much, why can’t we get them to play! If you want, after our family has been busy for a while, even ask them to come and play.”

Daiyu responded abruptly, clapping her hands and applauding, both eyes lit up.

Lin Yan was delighted to see it.This is his sister!Adorable, lively, and likable.Who is the one who is careful in every step in the book?Get out of here!

The two brothers and sisters talked together for a while, and when Daiyu left, the smile on Lin Yan's face disappeared in an instant, and he came in with a sullen face and changed to red song, "Go to the wife's yard to see what Dongqing is doing, called She came over when his wife was resting, I want to see her!"

It's not to see when she is free to come over, it's because I want to see her.

This means undeniable, undeniable.Dongqing is the big girl next to Jia Min, and Lin Yan has always respected her in the past, and she is rarely so tough.

Hongqu was a little surprised, and looked up at Lin Yan, but seeing that his complexion was very bad, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"Yes! The servant knows!"

********

Holly came quickly.Lin Yan hadn't finished one piece of homework until she came in after playing red music.

"uncle!"

Lin Yan didn't raise his head, and his subordinates didn't stop their homework. He said directly: "What happened to Madam at Jia's house?"

Just as Dongqing was about to speak, Lin Yan said again: "Don't tell me that you don't know. You are by your mother's side every day, waiting for you. Even if you don't know the ins and outs, you still know some clues. How much you know, how much you say. "

Dongqing was silent for a long time, as if thinking about it.

Lin Yan was not in a hurry, and was doing homework and so on.He hadn't been to the Imperial College for quite some time, so he was left behind a lot.Now this is not only to be handed over to the master of the Imperial College, Lin Ruhai is also to be checked.His requirements are much higher than those of the Imperial College Master.How dare Lin Yan be perfunctory!

After a stick of incense time.Holly opened her mouth.

"This morning, my wife was talking to the old lady, but no one was left in the room. Because Lian's second grandmother gave birth the day before, my wife stayed with me for half the night. The servant girl is afraid that the wife is not in good spirits. If she is not comfortable or comfortable, she will not be able to find someone. .Although Jia's mansion has never been slighted, it is not as good as slaves and maidservants. So they waited outside the door.

At first, the slaves couldn't hear what was said in it, but then there seemed to be some disputes, and the voice became louder.The servant could vaguely hear some words.It seems to talk about the uncle and the girl, and also the eldest girl and the second master Bao in the mansion.The wife seems to have mentioned a girl from the Shen family.

Later, when the wife came out, her complexion was not very good.The servant helped her back to the courtyard, only to feel that her hands were cold.How can this hot weather be so.The servant girl feared that his wife was ill, and said he wanted to see a doctor, but his wife refused, and just sat in a trance for half an hour.Later, he got up and asked the servants to find the girl and the second master, and let the big guys clean up the house. "

Lin Yan was stunned and frowned.With these words, he can guess the whole picture.

Mother Jia was probably thinking of letting him marry Jia Yuanchun, but the Lin family and the Shen family already had a tacit understanding.Then Jia Mu thought about Baoyu and Daiyu again.In short, two pairs should be a pair.

Lin Yan sneered.It's not that he thinks highly of himself, but with the current situation of the Lin family, even Princess Shang can do it for him.And Daiyu, princes and princes are all able to marry.And what is the second room of the Jia family?

A father who has been inactive for 800 years as a member of the Ministry of Industry, and a mother who has been cast aside for being accused of crimes.Not to mention anything else, but on this point, Jia Yuanchun and Baoyu's marriage will be difficult!Even if it is difficult for a noble family like the Jia family to decline, let alone the Lin family, which can be said to be very popular now?

Jia Yuanchun still has the name of filial piety and virtuousness. What does Baoyu have?

If Jia's mother meant to ask Jia Min to pull out the second bedroom, there is nothing wrong with it, it's a matter of marriage, if it's just a little test to see if Jia Min is willing, Jia Min's heart for Jia's mother would not be like this.

But now Jia Min's uncomfortable posture shows that Jia's mother must be righteous or very tough when she says this.At least after the refusal, Mother Jia's temper should not be very good.

Lin Yan stood up and looked at Dongqing.

"You have been with your mother for many years, and you know what can be said and what cannot be said."

Dongqing buried her head even lower, "Don't worry, sir, this will be spared by slaves!"

That's all.If the Jia family's deeds spread throughout the Lin family, where will Jia Min's face be put?

Lin Yan waved, "Go down!"

However, after less than half an hour of walking, Dongqing came back to pass on a message, "The madam asked the uncle if he has finished his homework. If he has finished, please come over."

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to secretly add, "Master, this servant didn't say anything."

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled wryly.He specially called the big girl who could not live without Jia Min, even if Jia Min didn't pay attention for a while, she would always know.Otherwise, her years of being the head wife would have been in vain.

Lin Yan sighed, put down his pen and went to Jia Min's courtyard.Jia Min was teasing Brother Reng, when he saw him coming, she asked the wet nurse to carry Brother Reng out, then sent the servants away, and said, "You know everything?"

"Yes!"

"Where's Yu'er?" With her appearance, Daiyu must be worried. If it's not easy to find Lin Ruhai, she will naturally go to find Lin Yan.Jia Min can guess his own children.

"My son said that my mother was so anxious because my father beat me again yesterday. My sister didn't think much about it, she believed it, and I coaxed her back."

"You don't even want face this time!" Jia Min joked, her face turned bitter again, and sighed, "I have been away from Beijing for more than ten years, but I don't know when my mother became like this."

After finishing speaking, there was another pause, and his expression flickered, "A lot of things have happened in that mansion during the year you went to Beijing. Which ones are related to you?"

Lin Yan was startled, bowed his head and knelt down, "If I say that I have meddled in everything, will mother blame me?"

Jia Min was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.She looked at Lin Yan, not knowing how to face him.

She only thought of him as that clever but mischievous child who would get into trouble from time to time.But in fact, at some point, he had already grown up, had his own ideas, and had such means.Keeping his composure, Jia's mansion was turned upside down.

Can she blame him?How could she blame him!All of what he did was not for her!

Lin Yan took two steps on his knees, and stepped forward to hold Jia Min's hand, "The Jia family is disorderly, and chaos has emerged. No man in the family can stand up to the family. If things go on like this, within a few years, disasters will surely happen. If it is better, it will become a joke in Beijing, and the family will decline. If it is worse, it will violate the taboo of the superiors and ransack the house. At that time..."

At that time, Jia Min will be the daughter of the Jia family, how will she deal with herself?Even if the Lin family didn't mind, Lin Ruhai and Lin Yan also protected her.But what face would she have to manage the servants of the Lin family, and what face would she have to socialize with the wives in the circle?

"Mother, the first uncle and the second uncle can be seen to be like this in this life. Although Baoyu is a bit smart, he is still young. Besides, he doesn't like official career and economics. What happened. Jia Huan and Jia Cong are bastard sons, and their achievements are limited. From what I can see, only Lian's second cousin can help."

"Furthermore, Lian's second cousin is related to the Shen family. Supporting him is easier than others, and it is more logical. Mother, the old lady can fall, the second wife can fall, and even the eldest family can fall, but the Jia family cannot. Looking at the overall situation of the Jia family, my son can only do so after much deliberation."

Jia Min grabbed Lin Yan's hand, two lines of tears fell down.

She understands, how could she not understand!As long as the Jia family does not fall, as long as Jia Lian can support it, the old lady and the second wife will be dead, and she will always be the proud aunt of the Jia family, and the only daughter-in-law of Rong Guogong.

Lin Yan didn't want to let her bear a stain on her body.He wanted her to straighten her back all the time, not to pay attention to the gossip of the wives, and he refused to make her shorter than others.

He wanted her to have not only the support of her husband's family, but also the reliability of her natal family.He wanted her to sit confidently as the mistress of the Lin family, instead of letting others attribute her fame to Lin Ruhai's generosity and his filial piety.

She was a mother, and it was she who should protect him.Now he wants to let his son worry about his family's affairs because of himself.Jia Min hugged Lin Yan into his arms, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Yan let her hold her, and when she had vented enough, she raised her head with a smile, "Mom, don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen. If my father finds out that I did it, he might be so angry!" Even if you don't invite family law, I'm afraid you will chase me with a rattan cane. Mother, please do me a favor!"

Jia Min didn't know that he was comforting him in a disguised form, but he was still amused by his appearance, and gave him a snort, "They're all engaged, why are you so shameless!"

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she finally showed her face, "Of course you and your father are used to it. If not, why would I be shameless in front of you and father, not in front of others?"

Jia Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pushed him, "Go, go! Hurry up and go back and do your homework!"

Lin Yan looked at her and said nothing.Jia Min chuckled, "Brother Yu hasn't seen me for a while, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel. I don't have time to talk to you!"

"Sure enough, if you have brother Ling, you don't want me!"

Lin Yan snorted, turned her head and left, but Jia Min said behind her: "Don't take what the old lady said."

Lin Yan paused, turned around and looked at Jia Min, frowning slightly.

"The old lady is getting old, and she loves Sister Erfang Yuan and Baoyu. It's not too much to ask for a support for them. It's just that the direction is wrong. I have firmly refused to go back. The old lady will understand."

This is not letting him make a move.Once he makes a move, things are not so simple.After all, Jia Min was thinking of Jia Mu.After all, they are close relatives, mother and daughter for so many years.From the time Lin Yan lived in Jia's mansion, it can be seen that the past friendship between the mother and daughter was genuine and not adulterated.only now...

Lin Yan sighed inwardly, and responded in a low voice.

That's all.Anyway, Mother Jia didn't have any other actions, and probably couldn't do any other actions.He just thought it was to make Jia Min happy.

********

Another day, Jia's house washed three.Jia Min went early in the morning.

The next day, Jia Lian came to the door.Lin Yan figured out with his toes why he came here.After he met Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, he personally sent him out.

"It's not that my mother can't figure it out. The old lady's thoughts have nothing to do with you. Why are you here to apologize and make amends! If my mother was really angry, why would she go to your son's baptism yesterday? present."

"It's not all about apologizing. Feng'er was seriously ill a few days ago, and the house was thanks to my aunt for taking care of me. On the day Feng'er gave birth, I was inexperienced and panicked. Only my aunt stood up to take care of the overall situation.

It was yesterday, and my aunt was too busy.You know the situation in our family. The old lady is impatient to make faces for us, and the wife has such a temperament.My aunt has been busy for a long time, so I should come to thank her. "

That's true.Seeing that his face was always glowing red, Lin Yan knew that he was in high spirits on happy occasions, so he said with a smile, "Is it possible to choose a name?"

"Take it. The single name is a single word. 'I do what I want, and I do what I want'."

"Good name!"

Jia Lian's face is even more proud!

With a son, it really is different!

Lin Yan just thought it was funny and sent him away.Situ Yue came on his hind legs.

Lin Yan's eyes were sharp, and she saw it from a few meters away. She immediately went back to the house and called the concierge, "Close the door! Close the door! Close the door quickly!"

After all, it was a step too late, Situ Yue pinched one hand between the two doors, and yelled, "It hurts, hurts! It hurts to death!"

The concierge was startled, and wanted to open the door with shaking hands, but Lin Yan blocked the door, "Don't open it!"

Situ Yue gritted his teeth angrily, "Lin Yan, are you a woman? Your heart is as big as a pinhole? I told you, it wasn't on purpose! My father asked me to get married, so I just said it! Do you want to be so angry? Grandpa! After all, you are still a prince, do you know that you are committing a crime!"

Lin Yan snorted coldly and didn't speak!

Situ Yue raised his right hand to make fun of himself, revealing the bright yellow imperial decree, "Open the door! My lord is here to proclaim the decree!"

Lin Yan was taken aback and hurriedly opened the door.Someone invited Lin Ruhai, and set up an incense table to kneel down.

The imperial decree announced Lin Ruhai's appointment.After receiving the order, Situ Yue left.Afterwards, Lin Yan found an excuse and went out.

Yipin Tea House.

Lin Yan frowned and looked at Situ Ling, "Shang Shuling? How could it be such a position? This is a three-level promotion?"

From the second grade to the first grade, it is exactly the third grade.

Situ Ling said: "It's nothing to be promoted to three levels in a row. Mr. Lin has merit. Then there are those things you made. You have no official or job, even if you are rewarded too much. The father can only be counted in Lin. The adults are on the head.

It's just that this Shangshu Ling is the first of the six books.But since the founding of our dynasty, the six ministries have performed their duties, and each ministration has a minister. This person has long been empty, and it is useless.And since the last Minister of the Book died, there is no one to take over, and it has been vacant for several years. "

Whether Xunyan Yushi is the real power or a fat job, the Shangshuling is just a good face.However, Lin Yan didn't care about this.

"I'm too much in the limelight now, so it's not suitable for my father to hold real power anymore. Shang Shuling has a high position and high grade, but he is leisurely. My father has old troubles, so he can't work too hard. This position is perfect. I was just thinking The emperor just said before that he asked His Highness to come down to worship his father as a teacher, and specially gave his father a spare time, is it also related to this matter?"

Now that I am free, it is more suitable to teach the prince attentively.Is that what you mean?

Situ Ling fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "Recently, my father is choosing a concubine for my second brother, me, fifth brother, and ninth brother. The second brother has all the side concubines, and I chose the main concubine. My fifth brother and the ninth brother are side concubines." The ones on the list are all descendants of nobles in the capital, but none of the clan has any influence in the army. Only the fifth brother is an exception. I heard that the imperial concubine personally chose it. Wang Ziteng's daughter."

Lin Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise.Wang Ziteng is the Jiedu envoy of Kyoto, even if this person is not as good as before, he is not unusual.

Situ Ling said again: "But I also found out that the father drafted another imperial decree to promote Prince Teng to be the ruler of the nine provinces. He ordered him to go out to Beijing for patrols in the next year."

Lin Yan's eyeballs flickered.Although the nine provinces are governed, although the authority is high, it is almost as empty as the Shangshuling today.In particular, patrolling was arranged, but it was just a show.But if the emperor didn't stipulate the return journey.Then without the emperor's order again, he cannot return to Beijing.

This is a clear rise and fall, and the prince was moved out of the capital with an excuse.Once he left, the position of Jiedushi would naturally no longer exist.Such a position, still in the capital, is something that the imperial power cannot tolerate.The military strength of the capital must be completely in the hands of His Majesty.

Lin Yan laughed, "Wang Ziteng was the first to pay back the money owed to the household department, which is considered meritorious. Promotion is also natural."

Situ Ling and Situ Yue both smiled.Lin Yan turned around and asked again: "Is the news reliable, Your Highness?"

Situ Ling paused for a moment, "The queen is here!"

If it came from the queen, it must be true.But, when did the relationship between Situ Ling and the Queen get so good?Lin Yan was a little surprised.He looked at Situ Ling, but didn't ask.There are some things he still doesn't know well.

"In that case, I'll go back and talk to my father." He stood up to leave, but was caught by Situ Yue, "You're not really still angry, are you?"

Lin Yan scoffed, flung his sleeves and left!

You thought it would be fine if you stole the eunuch's job to announce the decree and apologized for an excuse?

hehe!I wasted my trust in you!

Lin Yan went back to the mansion and went to find Lin Ruhai.Who knows, Lin Ruhai said three words lightly: Got it.

Lin Yan waited for a long time, but did not wait for his second sentence.

A few more days later, as Situ Ling said, several imperial edicts of marriage and Wang Ziteng's transfer came down one after another.

Lin Ruhai slowly got up from the bed and asked people to prepare official uniforms.Lin Yan was confused, "Why go?"

"Enter the palace?"

"what?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled, "Because of my old injuries, the emperor granted me two months' leave to recuperate, so I don't need to rush to take up the post. But since I was appointed, I also took care of it for a long time, and Bai Zhi also said that there is nothing serious. I should enter the palace Thanks."

Lin Yan was dumbfounded, isn't it as simple as Xie En?Why did he feel that Lin Ruhai was going to test the emperor?

In the evening, Lin Ruhai came back from the palace, took the "Three Kingdoms" on the bookshelf in the study and handed it to Lin Yan, "Let the third prince read more."

Lin Yan snorted, what kind of charades are you playing! There is an article "The Biography of Zhuge Liang" in "Three Kingdoms·Shu Zhi".Isn't it just for Situ Ling to visit the thatched cottage?

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "Father, you are so breathless, you are better than Zhuge Liang!"

"This is for the emperor to read! If he is not diligent and does this, how can I ask the emperor clearly!" Lin Ruhai rolled up the book in his hand and threw it at it.

Lin Yan bent down to hide, and ran away holding "Three Kingdoms".

The author has something to say: Actually, I don't really understand those children dressed as Jia Min, who keep tripping up Jia's house.

I have always felt that if the relationship between mother and daughter is true, Jia Min must be considered.For the Jia family, anyone can fail, but this family cannot.If the Jia family is really convicted, they will fall into that situation.What will happen to Jamin?

Even if she was married a long time ago, the crime is not as good as a married woman.But what about reputation?What about the communication with the wives and wives of various governments?

Gossip is indispensable, at least compared to others of the same level, it must be a level lower.The back is not so natural.

Moreover, for the social environment that existed in ancient times.No matter how important the husband's family is, they cannot live without their mother's family.

Even if your husband's family values ​​it, you still have to face the ups and downs outside.What if it doesn't matter?Therefore, you can't pin all your hopes on the value of your husband's family.

The mother's family must not be less.Don't say how strong it must be, but it must not be convicted or defeated.

Of course, there are some assumptions that the Jia family can no longer be supported, so let’s talk about it.In fact, it may not be impossible to find another way.

The protagonist is not the Holy Father.But what I have always assumed is that he has always valued the relationship between his parents because of the shortcomings in his previous life, and even valued it to a certain extreme.Therefore, he will not tolerate Jia Min being involved in the slightest because of the crime and downfall of the Jia family.Even if it's just verbal.
