[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Coming out of the study, Lin Yan went to the inner courtyard.

Only after Dongqing said "Master is here", Lin Feng threw away the paintbrush in his hand in a hurry, and stuffed everything under the carpet.Then he ran over and stood beside Jia Min, smiling at Lin Yan as if to flatter him, "Brother!"

Lin Yan saw his colorfully painted face like a flower at a glance, and wiped it with his hand, "He draws on paper, but you paint on his face?"

Lin Feng's expression changed, his big eyes rolled around, he quickly grabbed Jia Min's clothes, shrank behind her, avoiding Lin Yan's hand, and shouted childishly: "Mother!"

Now Jia Min and Daiyu couldn't hold back anymore, they leaned forward and backward with laughter.

Lin Yan was confused, "What's the matter?"

"He came to your room to play with painting tools, and Yu'er said a few words, you are the most precious of those things, and if you don't ask yourself, you will be regarded as a thief. He is reluctant to return it, and he is afraid that you will be angry. Before you came in, you still want to Destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces! It’s a pity that the painting utensils are hidden, and the colorful colors on this body can’t be hidden either! Let you see through it at a glance! How can he not be in a hurry!”

After saying that, Jia Min stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Feng, and pushed him down to Lin Yan, "Mom won't help you if you do it yourself!"

Lin Feng pouted and looked at Lin Yan pitifully, "Brother!"

Lin Yan let out a chuckle, hugged him, and said, "No matter how precious they are, they are just dead things. If you like, just take them. I'll teach you in person when Eldest Brother is free!"

Lin Feng was very happy when he heard it. He is only two years old and can speak, but he still stutters when sentences are too long.Probably too excited, and said a lot, but unfortunately Lin Yan only understood four words, "Thank you, brother!"

Jia Min chuckled, seeing that his face and hands were covered with paint, and even his body, she hurriedly called the little girl to take him down to wash it.Lin Yan has come over to look at the list written on the table.

"Is our family going to have a banquet?"

"It's Yu'er who wants to invite the sisters to play."

Only then did Lin Yan suddenly realize that it was Daiyu who had been writing.The location of the banquet, how to do it, what is needed.Each item is detailed.Jia Min only gave pointers occasionally, and did not make decisions.And the names on the post were probably the few springs of the Jia family, Bing Miaoyu, and two or three daughters from other houses in Beijing, Lin Yan didn't recognize them.

Looking at it like this, Lin Yan understood.This is Daiyu's first time inviting someone, and Jia Min intends to exercise her ability.

Lin Yan saw that there were even cakes and meal preparations on the list, and said with a smile: "It's just right. Earlier, Master Jiu said that he had caught a lot of things during hunting. I sent someone to ask him what he had. come over.

At that time, my sister can set up a shelf and bake it.If you are afraid of the oily smoke, move farther away and let the servants come.If you are interested, you can also bake it yourself, which is also fun. "

Jia Min frowned, "What do you mean he sent it here? After all, it's the prince. You should be more polite."

"Mother, don't worry. I know how to measure. We have met so far, if I am too polite, he will be unhappy." After speaking, he turned his head and told Qiu Ming to go out.

Half an hour later, the steward of Prince Ning's Mansion personally delivered a bunch of things, including a whole venison.

"Although it has been a while since I came back from hunting, the prince was worried that he would not be able to save Uncle Lin to leave the examination room, so he specially asked his servants to do the preliminary processing and keep it in the ice cellar. Uncle Lin can use it and eat it at ease. In addition, the prince also Ask, Uncle Lin wants to make this thing, but he doesn’t need a cook. The palace has hired a new one who specializes in making this thing. The craftsmanship is not bad.”

Lin Yan shook her head, "No need! I didn't throw a banquet. It's just that sister She invited a few little sisters to play. Why bother. Go back and thank your prince for me."

The steward agreed, and said: "My lord still told me to ask my slaves to ask Mr. Lin. He will be free tomorrow. If he is free, he will come to find you."

"It's free. He doesn't need to come. You tell him that I will go to the palace at noon tomorrow."

"Eh!"

Early the next morning, after dinner, Lin Yan really went to look for Situ Yue, but it was a pity that he just entered the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, and before he had a sip of tea, he was dragged by Situ Yue to the weapon station.

"Since you said that the manufacturing workshop will be separated and renamed as the Weapons Research Institute. Then this address will not be placed in the glass factory. Otherwise, the Ministry of Industry may have trouble again.

The emperor's father ordered me to do the errand, because the specifications were different from before.From site selection to design to construction, it took a lot of time.We only officially moved in at the end of last month.Father has an order to bring you over to have a look. "

Lin Yan nodded and followed him inside.The construction of this new weapons station would like to invite all the architects and agencies.Lin Yan only felt that every wall and every bluestone slab contained a mystery.Solemn and solemn.It's like a small underground city.

All kinds of secret passages and stone gates also have organs.There are also guard patrols.Lin Yan wrote down Situ Yue's operation steps one by one, and after a few turns, a stone wall more than ten meters long and seven or eight meters high appeared in front of him.

There are many complicated patterns carved on the wall, and there are two faucet handles in the middle.There is an iron ring hanging from the mouth of the dragon.

Situ Yue held the iron ring and pulled it, the stone wall suddenly moved, a small stone slab retracted, revealing a hole about ten inches, and a face appeared in the hole.Lin Yan also knew each other.Lu Zuo, he guarded the dark room of the workshop before.He also has an older brother, named Lu You, who is also in the imperial guards, guarding the gate of the palace, he is already a moderate leader.

Lu Zuo recognized Situ Yue and Lin Yan, but he dutifully checked their tokens, and then pulled the switch, and the stone wall opened from the middle to the left and right, and Lin Yan walked in, only to find that there was a strange cave inside.

Situ Yue took him around, "This is the project team. This is the drawing room. This is the meeting room. This is the warehouse. This is..."

He introduced them one by one. "It's all built according to your original idea, how about it?"

Lin Yan was amazed. In fact, he was really just a lip service, and he said a few words casually. It is really amazing to be able to make Situ Yue of this scale!

Seeing him like this, Situ Yue yelled again, pulling him out the other way, winking at him, "Look, what is that?"

Lin Yan looked in the direction he pointed, "Where...the Jockey Club?"

Situ Yue said happily: "My lord, this place is a good choice! No one wants to get the weapons store. The exit here is only one mile away from the Jockey Club. Let's go! The Jockey Club has already opened, why should you, the second boss, show your face?" .”

Lin Yan had no choice but to follow.However, as soon as he entered, he heard loud noises.Only then did Lin Yan realize that today is the [-]th, and according to their plan, the horse race will start every [-]th.

Since the two are the bosses, they went straight up and took the best seats without takeaways.Overlooking the whole arena, eleven players rode their horses and galloped wildly.The circular field surrounded the people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors.There was a lot of voices.

"Number Seven! Hurry up! Catch up!"

"Number five, number five, work harder!"

"No. 11, don't embarrass me!"

……

Lin Yan chuckled, and Situ Yue raised his eyebrows, "Didn't expect that. I didn't expect that the business would be so hot. Unfortunately, there are only two rounds every ten days. Although there is still a day for the gathering of the children of each family, there is still a betting , are all those people present.”

"It is precisely because of this that people can think of the days when the second meets the seventh. If the day is open, there will be no such limelight."

Situ Yue nodded, he still understood this truth.After coming out of the horse club, the two went to the restaurant, the champion building chosen by Situ Yue.

Lin Yan was still puzzled at first, why didn't they go to Yipin Tea House, Red House Hot Pot, or the Zuixian Tower they used to go to, but here it was.

Wait until you sit down to find out why.

Downstairs, three or two examinees were discussing, "Tell me, who is Jie Yuanhui for this township examination in Beijing?"

"I think it's Lin Yanzhi."

"That's not necessarily the case. Although he is famous, he only has the glass and weapons. In terms of knowledge, Ye He and Liu Shangyuan, the Imperial Supervisor, are not bad."

"Exactly, Master Li of the Guozijian also said that these two are candidates for Jieyuan this time."

"Ye He has been the leader of the Meiyuan Cultural Association for three consecutive terms. I will bet on him!"

"I bet on Liu Shangyuan! Boss, I'll re-bet ten taels!"

Lin Yan's head was full of black lines.What the hell is this? I have always known that there are betting champions, but I have never heard of a township examination Jieyuan who also gambles!

But Situ Yue, who was beside him, snorted coldly, "Those ignorant people, what Liu Shangyuan, Ye He! How are they better than you!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and called Xiao Er directly, and threw a pile of banknotes over, "I bet 1000 taels, Lin Yan!"

Lin Yan tilted his hand, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a snap.Fortunately, he reacted in time, grabbed Xiao Er, and snatched the silver ticket back.Slapping the silver ticket back, "If you want to bet on me, forget it, and you can save the 1000 taels."

"What do you mean?"

"It means, I will never be Jie Yuan!"

Situ Yue was taken aback, "Isn't it? Didn't you say that you want to take the No. [-] Scholar exam? Even if you don't get the first prize, wouldn't it be more difficult to be the No. [-] Scholar? Master Lin, how do you explain it?"

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!Will you chat!Will you chat!

Lin Yan glared angrily!Situ Yue coughed twice, "I'm just joining in the fun, anyway, whether you are Jie Yuan or not, I will trust you!"

The bank note was handed over again, and was held down by Lin Yan again. "If you want to join in the fun, ten taels is enough. 1000 taels, are you deliberately making trouble with me?"

Situ Yue didn't know why.

Lin Yan sighed, "These bets are not big. If you throw away 1000 taels, it will definitely spread. What should I do if I find out that Xie Yuan is not me after the list is released? If my name is just below Jie Yuan, there is no big difference, and there is no difference. It can be said that it is between brothers. What if there are several distances, and the distance is far away? Wouldn't I be ashamed of myself!"

Situ Yue rubbed his nose and resentfully took back the bank note.

Lin Yan took out a piece of silver and gave it to Xiaoer, "Bet for me to buy Liu Shangyuan."

Situ Yue turned his head and looked over, "I've never seen you like this. Instead of buying yourself, you buy someone else!"

Lin Yan smiled.With Liu Shangyuan's talent, why is he inferior to Ye He?The leader of the literary society?That's because Liu Shangyuan didn't want to use this to get ahead.Otherwise, how could Ye He be re-elected for three consecutive terms?

After dismissing Xiao Er, the two of them drank three rounds, and when they were enjoying themselves, there was an uproar in the hall, and even the table was overturned.

Follow the reputation, get it.Lin Yan still recognized the two people who were arguing.One is Mo Zian, the nephew of Concubine Shu's family, and the other is Huo Ye.

"Hmph, do you think you are still the heir of Nan'an Palace? The title of King Nan'an is gone, what kind of overlord are you acting in front of me! No matter how bad I am, I am still the heir of the Marquis Mansion!"

Huo Ye was dissatisfied, "So what about the prince! You don't even look at what people say about you! Just look around and see if there is anyone in Beijing who is willing to marry you!"

These words can be said to have stepped on Mo Zian's sore spot. "Even if I don't, I won't marry a girl from your Huo family! Who doesn't know your Huo family~"

The words will not be broken, and the ending is dragged on for a long time.That expression made Huo Ye so angry that he punched him right away!

Mo Zian was caught off guard, hit his nose, and bled instantly, which was even more serious!

"Huo Ye, you are so brave! How dare you hit me? If it weren't for our Mo family, would you be able to marry off as your shameless sister?"

"shut up!"

Huo Ye punched him again.Now that Mo Zian was on guard, how could he succeed? For a while, the two of them wrestled together, and the servants who followed were running around anxiously, each going to pull his own master, but how could he stay!

Lin Yan frowned, and looked back at Situ Yue, "Is Huo Ling married?"

"Married in June. She and Jia Rong are not very old, but since the incident happened, there are not a few people who saw it, and even those who didn't see it all knew about it. As soon as the Jia family let go, Huo The family has been preparing non-stop, I just hope that this matter will be settled earlier, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

But who knows that the Jia family finally agreed, and marriage is also on the agenda.When that day came, Huo Ling was unwilling.I heard that it was Huo Lie who tied him up and sent him to the sedan chair.But when she got to the bridal chamber, she refused to let Jia Rong enter the door, and beat him out.Not to mention the color on Jia Rong's face, she was whipped several times on her body.Even Jia Zhenlai who came to persuade her was whipped.

The Jia family was ashamed.Both Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, were unconvinced and clamored to retire.Seeing this, Huo Ling was very happy, and went back to Huo's house directly.In this way, how can the Jia family give up?Early the next morning, someone brought all of Huo Ling's dowry to the Huo family, and asked the Huo family for a betrothal gift! "

Lin Yan was dumbfounded!This... This... This kind of thing can still happen in today's society that is so strict with women?Huo Ling... Uh... Should he say she has no brains?Or should we praise her for her courage?

He suddenly discovered that he had missed such a big show during the past few months of retreat!It feels like this is an annual drama that can be recorded in history!

Not to mention women, even Lin Yan, a man, has been lit up with the soul of gossip.

"and after?"

"Huo Lie was so angry that he beat Huo Ling again. It's a pity that the Jia family refused to back down after suffering such grievances. But for some reason, after a few days, the Jia family came to the door again and whipped him Huo Ling, who was still injured, took it back. I don't know what the Huo family told Huo Ling this time, but Huo Ling took a breather for a while and stopped making trouble. "

"The Jia family suddenly compromised?" Lin Yan frowned suspiciously.

Situ Yue smiled but said nothing, "What do you think is the reason?"

Lin Yan had an idea, and instantly thought of Mo Zian's words just now, "It's not because of the Mo family, is it?"

"Did you know that your second uncle is going to marry Xu Xian?"

"Ah?" Lin Yan was confused, so how much did he miss during the time of retreat?

"You don't know anything about your own relatives. I remember that when the Jia family and the Huo family got married, and when your second uncle and the new future second aunt got engaged, your mother went there."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes.Such a high-pressure environment and endless papers, how could he have the time to care about this.Moreover, if Lin Ruhai didn't want him to know, he wouldn't know even if a hole was stabbed in the sky.

Lin Yan glanced at Mo Zian and Huo Ye downstairs who had been separated by everyone, his eyes flickered, "The future second aunt you are talking about is not from the Mo family, is it?"

Although the Mo family is not very good, at least there is a Concubine Shu in the palace.Now the imperial concubine is gone, besides the empress, she is the biggest.Especially Concubine Xian is a sick child, and Concubine De is an idler who has long been out of favour.And Concubine Shu has the eldest prince under her knees.Now that the First Prince is fighting at the border, he will win even more.This status is naturally higher.

Such a Mo family, can they take a fancy to the Jia family?Or a continuation?

"There is an aunt in the Mo family, who is the sister of Concubine Shu. She married Liu Hanlin ten years ago. That Liu Hanlin came from a poor family, so he was very happy to marry a daughter of the Mo family.

I thought it was because the Mo family cared about their daughter, and they only wanted to choose a character who was qualified to learn, and didn't care about the family background.It was only later that I found out that it was because the youngest daughter was barren.But she is also a person who can't rub the sand in her eyes.He refused to ask Liu Hanlin to take a concubine.

Liu Hanlin felt that he had been deceived and was really wronged.Due to the power of the Mo family, the others spoke lightly and could only bear with it.But secretly raised someone outside.In the end, the daughter of the Mo family found out.Call to another hospital.It didn't take long before the outsider died, and she was still six months pregnant.

Liu Hanlin was distraught, had a big fight with the daughter of the Mo family, went out and got drunk.When he returned home, he was drunk and fell into the pond in a daze, hitting the stones under the water.Died. "

Lin Yan was surprised, "Such a coincidence?"

"At that time, there were rumors that the Mo family daughter could not tolerate this outer room and sent someone to do it. Liu Hanlin knew about it and wanted to sue, but was killed by the Mo family daughter. Otherwise, why did the Liu family dispose of it at that time? A group of people? But because there is no evidence, the Mo family still has a concubine Shu, so the matter will be settled.

But the aunt's reputation is gone.The Mo family sent her to her hometown, where she lived for several years.Now that time has passed, not many people mention this matter anymore.I only returned to Beijing last year. "

So, this is the one Jia Zheng wants to marry?

The author has something to say: Remind everyone: when Shen Yuan fell into the water, Mo Zian was the dandy who married Shen Yuan when he was provoked by words and wanted to go into the water to save him.I know that you may not remember him anymore.He was just a passerby.
