The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Still puzzled, taking advantage of Yinxiang's opportunity to look around the yard, he asked Lin Long privately, "Didn't brother say that mother-in-law is coming? Why don't you see me?"

Lin Long saw that Daiyu didn't know the truth until now, her face was quite innocent and cute, she burst into laughter, and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law died of illness a few years ago, where did the mother-in-law come from, I'm just kidding you!"

Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and angrily said inwardly, "Why is my brother so bad that I have worked hard for two months in vain? All the decorations in this courtyard are done on purpose by me, so it must not suit his wishes. Brother is really messing around!"

Lin Long hurriedly said with a smile: "I wanted to stop you. It's rare for you to be so happy. Besides, it doesn't matter if you have such a job. You are willing to eat more food, and you like to joke more than usual. It's a good thing. Why should I stop you?" Seeing Daiyu's angry eyes and biting her lips, she said in a low voice, "When you have a guest, don't rush to deal with me. I will take all the things you have worked so hard to make later, okay?"

So he hid here, rushed to Yinxiang, led him up the flower steps, and advanced into a small room next to the main pavilion.

The attic has two floors, and on the left and right sides there are two narrow and long wing-like single rooms, each less than twenty square meters, small and exquisite, each with a small skylight, it is the most good for a study room, a piano room, etc. Daiyu chose one In the middle of the day, I planned to make a bedroom for the little grandson brought by my mother-in-law.

Open the door curtain made of shells, small animal bones, etc., and you will see colorful gadgets, such as tables, cabinets, pillows, and window corners, or small baskets made of willow branches, or bamboo strips. The fruit bowls made by children, or the models of various small wooden boats, wooden houses, hills, etc., are dazzling and playful.

Yinxiang looked around, then looked back at Lin Long in a daze.

Lin Long nodded with satisfaction, and asked in a serious manner: "My sister designed it, are you satisfied?"

Yinxiang heard that it was designed by Daiyu. Although he had a strange expression on his face and said a few words "this...", he still put his hands behind his back and nodded dryly with a smile.

Lin Longyin added pretendingly: "The place under the window, Brother Thirteen can grow vegetables when he is bored. There are also swings, small slingshots, bows and arrows for Brother Thirteen to practice riding and arching on weekdays. There are many puppies, and there is an empty shelf next to it. In two days, I will buy some chicks and ducks and put them in. After brother Thirteen feeds them out of emotion, no matter where you go in the future, they will definitely bounce around behind you Then, the ones who have been specially trained will still work, and the palace will still go in."

Daiyu laughed angrily at the side, just imagine Yinxiang, a dignified elder brother, with a refined posture, sitting high on a horse, followed by a pair of puppies, chickens and ducks, howling.Seeing Lin Long's self-satisfied face, she used her name to tease Yinxiang, and deliberately said: "Brother Thirteen, my brother took advantage of you, why don't you punish him properly?"

Yin Xiang looked at Lin Long and said with a smile, "Oh? How did you take advantage of me?"

Lin Long also stared at Daiyu, very surprised: "How can this happen?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, because she said: "A few days ago, my brother lied to me that there was a cousin in my hometown, and that cousin had a younger brother born of the same mother. There was a three-year-old boy at home, who was born very well. My brother said he likes it, and wants to pick him up today. After hearing the news, I made these preparations. Now it seems that not only I was fooled, but even brother Thirteen was taken advantage of by him after all the hard work. If Thirteenth Brother spares him today, I will not agree." After speaking, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

While listening to Daiyu, Yinxiang leisurely picked up the small wooden horse on the suitcase to enjoy, opened the box casually, and found a lot of small and exquisite clothes, red, yellow, blue and purple, including small gloves, small shoes and socks, etc. After listening, thinking of the "cousin and brother's son", his eyes suddenly paused, he turned his head to look at Lin Long and said with a smile: "Then some people say that I am his nephew?"

Lin Long was tongue-tied at the beginning, staring at Daiyu with a smile on her face, hearing Yinxiang's question, she quickly smiled and said yes, Daiyu said with a smile: "I still have something to do, I have to go first."

Walking to the center of the courtyard, there was a lot of crackling and chattering in the house, mixed with laughter and evil voices, it could be seen that the two had rolled together again, Daiyu smiled and said: "Well, you are still playing tricks on me."

Then she saw the girl from Li Wan's office come to look for Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin is here. Our grandma told Miss Lin to go. The third girl, the fourth girl, and Bao girl are also there." Those who don't come out on a daily basis are at Li Wan's place today, and just want to have a look, so they don't go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for the time being, and go with the girl first.

Here Yin Xiang and Lin Long had a quarrel, each dressed in disarray, laughing, coughing and wheezing, Yin Xiang was busy making clothes in front of the mirror, Lin Long calmed down for a while, and asked with a smile: "You move here so boldly." Stop it, don't you care about it?"

Yinxiang patted the dust on his clothes, and said with a smile: "I wish one day could be used for two days, there are bandits outside, floods in the south, refugees are displaced, literati rebellion, even inside the palace An Ning, people report that the prince has formed a clique, secretly coercing good ministers, opening his eyes every day to wait for tens of thousands of things, and there are piles of memorials on the case all day long, do you think I really came to play? I just took a summer vacation to investigate secretly Those who are related to the prince in the nearby counties, but after staying for a while, they have to go back when they have some clues."

Lin Long nodded in understanding, and asked about the 'being an official' mentioned last time, Yin Xiang smiled and said: "Remember, remember, I have talked to the Jinling County magistrate, if you are willing, you can take office tomorrow."

Lin Long was stunned, and asked, "Can I get a job tomorrow? Then, what are you going to do?"

Yinxiang said with a smile: "How about Wenfu's supervision?"

Lin Long frowned, looked at Yin Xiang strangely, and said, "I've never heard of it, what are you doing?"

He replied: "Supervise the miscellaneous literary affairs in this city, such as compiling books, rushing for exams, running schools, literati setting up poetry clubs and painting clubs, and so on. To put it bluntly, all the activities of literati and students in this city are under your control, how about it?" Smiling. he.

Lin Long thought about it for a long time, then suddenly realized, pointing to Yinxiang said: "Oh, I see, you just said it nicely, what's the 'supervision of the Wenfu', it's just that the county magistrate is in the way of your brother's favor, and it's empty. A position that only eats and gets money, but does not do practical things. I want to make contributions, so what is that? Don’t want it!”

My heart moved, and I hurriedly said: "By the way, isn't there a border problem now? Just give me a military adviser, a marshal or something, and when I win a big victory, you will have a bright face, right?"

Yinxiang burst out laughing, looked at him with a curled mouth and smiled, and said, "You?"

Lin Long hurriedly said: "What's wrong with me? If you don't believe me, just give me such an errand to do it, even if I can manage a dozen or so soldiers. You can talk about it after I have results."

Yinxiang thought for a while, then shook his head with a faint smile, and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but the flames of war over there are cruel and the swords are ruthless. It's not a joke like usual. How can I let you risk your life? This is one, and then Otherwise, once you go, you will have to walk for more than a month on the road. Once you are in the middle of a war, let alone a year or a half, it is normal to have difficulty getting out of it for ten or eight years. You just leave it alone? "

When Lin Long heard this, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, rubbed her foot against the ground, and remained silent.Yin Xiang hurriedly said again: "You mean a dignified man who should contribute to the country. I understand very well, but you can rest assured that now that the imperial decree has been issued, it is Li Shixian, old general Li, who was sent to guard the city. At seventy, experienced in hundreds of battles, he is very experienced, and beside him is a general who is his student. Although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he has repelled dozens of attacks by thieves. He uses soldiers like a god. It is said that when the enemy hears his name, they will be discouraged and dare not fight. His ability should not be underestimated. In the future, I will definitely be able to help him. With this old and young, we can rest assured. If it is really a thief When the tide overwhelms the border and the nation is in peril, we cannot refuse to draw our swords at that time."

Hearing what he said, Lin Long had no choice but to nod her head, and then asked herself how to take up the post, what should be paid attention to, etc. Yinxiang must tell him once.

This Lin Long is also very smart, the next day she really dressed up, called on the county magistrate, and went to work, she still abided by her duties and fulfilled her duties, and brought back a lot of 'documents' every day. Laughing at him: "Brother is so busy, how dare you become a historian?" Lin Long also laughed and couldn't reply.

Later, when I realized that I had no real rights, and that my hard work was all for nothing, I gradually relaxed my mind. Although I still often did not go home for two or three days, I used the convenience of my position to make many friends who were both white and black. Especially some sincere and honest literati and sages, who occasionally drink with them and chat with them. Throughout the ages, the world has great wisdom, and I deeply feel that their thoughts and conversations, scheming and strategies are different. Feeling that their words were too aggressive and aggressive, Lin Long advised Lin Long to "stay away from them", but Lin Long didn't care.

It is said that when Mother Jia first heard that Lin Long had contacted outsiders and wanted to rent a place in the Grand View Garden, she was not very willing. Madam Wang had received money from 'others' first, so she had evidence, and here Mother Jia expressed her meaning again. It was a dilemma, and I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, I heard the girl tell him the details, and then I knew that Yinxiang was going to live in, so I hurriedly told Jia Mu, who was delighted and surprised when she got the news, so she told Mrs. Wang 'Don't take his money', and fearing that his girl is not enough, let Sister Feng take care of her.

Sister Feng hurriedly called to open the warehouse and went upstairs, selected the best quality items from the screens, hanging fans, silk, tulle, etc., and sent them to her. She also sent four maids and four boys to do house cleaning and other chores. It just so happened that Biefu paid back the money owed to Jia's mansion recently, and Sister Feng hurriedly returned the money Yinxiang handed over to him. The money that came in was also handed over to Lin Long for 'safekeeping', and then he forgot about it and put it into Lin Long's pocket.

If it is said that the only thing in dispute after entering the mansion is the things that Daiyu was going to buy, Lin Long wanted to take them back, but Yinxiang refused, the two tried their best to talk each other, and they refused to let each other, in the end it was Lin Long who used it first The method, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, sneaked into the Xiangyun Pavilion to steal it. Yinxiang had expected him to have this trick, pretended not to know, but said the next day: If the things are not returned, the post of supervisor will be revoked immediately, and he will be rescinded. Lin Long's letter of complaint for "taking advantage of his position to gamble and extort privately" was published.

Not long after saying this, all the lost things soon appeared in Xiangyun Pavilion, and there were a lot of them, so Yinxiang ordered Ren Haosheng to put them in the box without showing them.
