[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

As soon as Jia's family left, Lin Yan got the letter and went to see Jia Min in the main courtyard.

At that time, Lin Feng was spinning tops in the yard, and Daiyu pulled Jia Min to propose that the next banquet be held at the Jockey Club.

"There are so many people in the horse club, where is the place where your girls play!"

"Except for Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sevenths, the Jockey Club is closed on other days. It also opens reservations in various houses, and the venue will be cleared after taking over business from other companies. Not to mention, we are still the owner. They are more I have done my best. How can there be too many people. Mother!"

Later, she acted coquettishly.

Jia Min shook his head helplessly, and said angrily, "It's Yan'er who is used to you!"

This was a promise, and Daiyu couldn't help being overjoyed.

Lin Yan happened to walk in, and was dissatisfied after hearing this sentence.

"I'm used to everything. You co-authored it as if you were not used to your father."

Jia Min snorted, "That's only your father, don't go with me."

Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, and said: "My daughter's family is meant to be pampered, not to mention our family is just such a delicate little sister."

That upright and confident tone seemed to be nothing if he was spoiled by heaven.Jia Min rolled his eyes and stopped talking.Lin Yan smiled at Daiyu and winked.Daiyu understood, got up and went out to play with Brother Cheng.

Lin Yan glanced at Jia Min's face, and then said in contemplation, "Mother, I heard that the second uncle is going to continue?"

"Well. It's scheduled for the end of next month."

The voice was neither salty nor weak, Lin Yan hesitated to speak.But Jia Min laughed, "When did you become so blunt? Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Old lady... After all, the old lady is getting old, so it is inevitable that she is not thinking well."

Jia Min frowned. Regarding her mother, she could only say that she was not well thought out.

"Second brother, it's just to do the best of the affection between relatives in the future. It is not good to have too much involvement with the First Prince's faction to influence our family's relationship with His Royal Highness Sanjiu now."

"The second uncle just married a surname, who is a girl from the Mo family, and may not be someone from the eldest prince's school. Besides, the third highness understands the thoughts and positions of my father and I. Mother doesn't have to avoid these things, on the contrary It seems deliberate. Mother follows her own heart, and she can be as comfortable as possible. There are me and my father outside!"

Lin Ruhai always said the same thing: I'm out there!

The warmth in Jia Min's heart doubled, "Understood."

Looking at Lin Yan again, she laughed, "You have done this for me. I should do the rest myself. After all, the Jia family still has Lian'er."

This is a lawsuit that I don't want to get involved in Jia's second bedroom, and I don't want to have too much involvement with the second bedroom.

Lin Yan glanced at her, and saw that she was neither reluctant nor displeased, but very calm, and heaved a sigh of relief.To be honest, as far as he knew, Jia Min's feelings for Jia's mother were needless to say.Even before leaving the cabinet, he was closer to Jia Zheng than to Jia Amnesty.It is not easy to make such a decision nowadays.

He stepped forward to hold Jia Min's hand, without saying a word, but Jia Min understood everything, and smiled knowingly, and turned his head to see Daiyu and Lin Rong chasing and making noise in the yard, his eyes were filled with joy like halos .

A few days later, Lin Yanzhen went to find some pots of chrysanthemums for Daiyu.There are eight pots in total, and each pot has a different variety.Cinnabar Red Shuang, Yaotai Jade Phoenix, Rouge Dianxue, Golden Queen, etc., are incomparably gorgeous and enviable to others.

Daiyu became the host again and started a poetry club, singing chrysanthemums.It's just that except Miaoyu who is a little older, she is ten years old, and the other elders, such as Yingchun, are only eight or nine years old.It's not always clear how brilliant the poems are, but at this age, they are outstanding.One by one had a lot of fun.

Tanchun saw it in his eyes, and felt sore in his heart.

People have older brothers, and she also has older brothers.Although her brother was kind to her, he would never take such trouble for her.Besides, Baoyu is still young, so what's the use of it?Then there is the next younger brother, who was raised by his aunt with such a temperament, and he can't be counted on.It would be lucky not to cause trouble for her.

She turned her head to look at Yingchun, and sighed again.They are all girls from Jia's concubine, but Jia Lian still has plans for her in Yingchun.I also asked her before if she would like to go back to Dafang.It's a pity that Yingchun refused.

Tanchun frowned.If she were Yingchun, how could she refuse?Being by the old lady's side, although it sounds good to go out, but the old lady is old, and there is more than one granddaughter in front of her, and her intentions are limited, let alone a precious jade on the tip of her heart!

She naturally understood that Yingchun was afraid of the eldest wife.But besides the eldest wife, there is also a second sister-in-law over there!Since it was Lian's second brother who picked it up, the second sister-in-law took care of the baby even though she was very busy.With Dafang's current development, wouldn't it be better to be more intimate with Lian's second brother and second sister-in-law than staying with the old lady?

Tanchun's expression darkened, and he couldn't help thinking of his aunt who was about to enter the door.The previous Wang family wanted face, no matter what she thought in her heart, she never treated her badly.But I heard that the one who is about to enter the door is unforgiving.The eldest sister and Baoyu are born in the same family, and the old lady is protecting her. She is afraid that she will not dare to do anything.But what about myself?Where's my aunt?What about Huaner?

Tanchun's face was bitter, and his feelings were low.But he turned his head to avoid being seen.

********

The poetry meeting is over, and it will be August 28 in a blink of an eye.The results of the township examination were released, and as Yan Binghuai expected, Lin Yan was in the top ten, not in the top five, and won No.7.Liu Shangyuan won the first place as Jieyuan.Ye He is the second.It's just that if it is not the first, the second and tenth are not very different.Because in Dazhou, the second to tenth can be called sub-yuan.

Lin Yan seemed happier than Liu Shangyuan, and happily took him to have a drink to celebrate.

At the end of September, Jia Zheng remarried.Lin Ruhai went there with Jia Min and came back after half a day.Lin Yan, however, entered Chunwei's exam preparation again, and had no time to relax.

In October, the palace began to express its intention to choose a concubine for the prince, and the three-year general election was brought forward.

The Jingzhong families who have reached the standard family have their own ideas, and many of them have reported the names of their daughters.

November primaries.December re-election.

Xianfu Palace.

Concubine Xian looked at the final list and said to Situ Kun with a smile: "If the emperor asks the concubine, then in the concubine's sense, he must be thinking about the child. Since Lao Jiu has taken a fancy to the young lady of the Feng family, how about Just choose her."

Situ Kun sighed, "Is Lao Jiu bothering you again?"

"There is no need to bother the concubine. When he is old and has a girl he likes, he is willing to tell the concubine that it is too late for the concubine to be happy! How can he be bothered? He said that he mentioned it to the emperor once. The emperor did not Speak. He didn't dare to mention it again, so he had to come to ask his concubine.

At first, the concubine was worried about what he had with Miss Feng, but later she found out that the Feng family had decided that his horse would run.Tell him to meet by chance.The concubine also invited Miss Feng to see her these few days, but she is a good child with clear eyes.The concubine saw that she didn't recognize Lao Jiu, so she knew that she had made a mistake.That being the case, the concubine still has nothing to worry about.

In particular, Ms. Feng has a straightforward and generous temperament. I heard that General Feng's wife died young, and the old lady at home is old. Ms. Feng almost takes care of the house.Besides, she has a younger brother, and she was the one who taught General Feng when he was away.From the concubine's point of view, she does have a bit of elder sister demeanor.If it is matched with the old nine, I am afraid that there is only such a girl who can still suppress her. "

When Situ Kun heard this, he thought of Situ Yue's temper, and felt that this Humen general was pretty good.It's just that he intended to assign him to Situ Ling, although he only told Situ Ling once, he never mentioned it again.But he purposely included the girls from the Wei family and the Feng family on the list, and brought them into the palace.If he didn't believe it, Situ Ling didn't understand.

"What did the third child say?"

Concubine Xian only thought that he was asking about the candidate for Situ Ling's main concubine, and said: "The emperor doesn't know about the third son's temper. The concubine asked him what kind of person he wanted to marry. He couldn't tell for a long time. The concubine asked repeatedly, and he I just said that I don't care about the family background, I just want someone who can communicate with him, who has courage and courage, who can give him advice and go hand in hand."

Situ Kun was stunned for a while, then suddenly thought of himself and the queen.He was able to ascend to this position, and the queen made a lot of effort behind him.Without the queen's full support, how many days and nights I spent analyzing and coping with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive those years.

"Such a woman is hard to find."

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, "I do have someone to choose, but it's not in the list. I don't know if the emperor is willing or not, and I don't know if the woman is willing."

Situ Kun asked doubtfully, "Which girl?"

Concubine Xian chuckled, "Your Majesty has seen it before, and it's not uncommon!"

Situ Kun was even more confused, "You're talking about..."

"Princess Mingyu!"

Situ Kun was taken aback, thinking of Su Jin, he felt that she was in full compliance with Situ Ling's requirements.If so, it would be nice to have Situ Ling marry Su Jin and Situ Yue marry Feng Qingzhi.

"The concubine has counted. Princess Mingyu's biological parents went in May. In August of this year, it happened to be 27 months, and the filial piety period has passed. Now she is fifteen. Last month, the elder The princess has just arranged a wedding ceremony for her. It's time to mention this marriage."

Situ Kun smiled, "It seems that you have already taken a fancy to him, even these things are considered."

Concubine Xian rolled her eyes, "Then the emperor thinks..."

"Have you ever asked the third brother what he meant?"

"Your majesty forgot. The concubine's illness is only thanks to Princess Mingyu's invitation to Mrs. Ming/Hui to survive until today, and she is getting better gradually. Ling'er has also been in contact with her.

When the concubine mentioned it, Ling'er probably didn't think about it, she was stunned for a long time, and then she just said that she was in charge of the concubine.But the concubine blushed when she saw him, which was rare.He is the son of the concubine, how can the concubine not understand?In this way, I am very happy. "

"Really?" Situ Kun didn't know that there was still this paragraph. After thinking about it, he laughed, "You have a good idea. If it's another family, I can directly respond and give the imperial decree. But Mingyu is different. The emperor Sister, she is very precious, so why should I ask Sister Huang what she means. If Sister Huang is willing, it is naturally a happy event. If Sister Huang is not willing..."

Concubine Xian hurriedly interjected, "This is just a concubine's idea. If the princess is unwilling, there is no reason to hold her back."

Situ Kun nodded.When he got back, he called Situ Ling into the palace, and saw that he was indeed willing as Concubine Xian said, and he also quite agreed with Miss Feng's marriage to Situ Yue.

"Ninth brother doesn't like ordinary boudoir girls. Miss Feng can ride horses and shoot arrows, can run horses and play with him, and can also talk well. Besides, she can control her younger brother Feng Ziying, maybe she can also control younger brother Dian. Girl Family thoughts have always been more delicate than men. Ninth brother is a man who doesn't think about things, and can't think about many things. Maybe Miss Feng can still think about him."

That look is that he sincerely thinks that this marriage is good, and he doesn't have the slightest emotion of being robbed of a woman.Situ Kun was relieved, he was worried that this would ruin the friendship between the two brothers, but now he felt that he was thinking too much.

Situ Ling seemed to see what he was thinking, knelt down and took a deep breath, shaking his hands slightly, raised his head and said: "I understand the emperor's intentions. I am happy that the emperor can take so much trouble for my son." Self-restraint. If the father asks the son-in-law what he thinks about the position of the crown prince, the son-in-law does not shy away from saying it, and he naturally thinks.

Ke Erchen also knows the principles of a monarch and his ministers, and the relationship between father and son.Besides, the son-in-law believed in the emperor, if the emperor did not choose the son-in-law, then it must be because the son-in-law was not the most suitable person.I have absolutely no complaints, from now on, no matter which brother it is, whenever he needs it, I will do my best to help and protect the world of our Situ family.

If the father values ​​his son-in-law and is willing to entrust him with important tasks, the son-in-law will not refuse, and is willing to work hard and diligently to live up to his father's expectations.I wish to be like my father, upright, wise and powerful, and achieve great things with my own ability.Father, you should know that a capable person does not need to rely on the help of in-laws, he can make the virtuous people submit to him, and virtuous officials respect him.The way of in-laws is not the foundation of a gentleman. "

Situ Kun's heart trembled, he looked at him, and didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone knows about the desire of the sons to seize the throne, and he knows it too.But this was the first time Situ Ling said it directly.And Situ Kun knew for the first time that he still had such a mind and courage.

Before, he knew that he was not the best candidate for the coach, so he was willing to hand over the work to the boss. He was overjoyed when he heard the good news.He has the heart to accommodate the boss, and also has the self-confidence to be able to restrain the boss.

Today, he refuses to rely on his in-laws to achieve the road to the top because he has the ambition to achieve great things on his own, and the pride that he can overcome difficulties and adversities by himself.

And he said that if he chooses another brother, he is also willing to help.

It's impossible to say no to vibrations.Situ Kun asked himself.If these words were replaced by the other sons, he might not believe it, whether it was Situ Zheng, Situ Feng who had already been trapped, or even Situ Yan who had quit seizing the heirloom a long time ago.

Because he knew, it was impossible for them to tell.This is the difference.

When Situ Kun looked at Situ Ling, he had the feeling that my Prince Chu of Great Zhou had such a bearing.He laughed, "Get up, I know!"

Situ Ling relaxed his mind.In fact, two years ago, he would never have dared to imagine such a scene.If it were a year ago, he would have thought about it again, but he would not dare to do it.But for now, he is willing to give it a try.As it turns out, he was right.

The next day, Situ Kun invited Princess Qinghui into the palace to talk about the marriage.

Then came the New Year's Eve.The palace was very busy.Wait until fifteen.Situ Kun issued two imperial decrees in succession.

A letter of marriage gift to the daughter of Qinghui Changgong Princess Mingyu Princess Su Jin is the concubine of King Kang Situling.

Feng Qingzhi, the daughter of the mighty general Feng Tang, is the concubine of Ning Wang Situ Yue.

Jingzhong became lively again.

The ninth day of February, the period of spring.Lin Yan entered the examination room under the watchful eyes of Situ Yue and Qiu Ming.
