The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun invited the old genius doctor to sit down, and while pouring tea for him, he briefly explained to the old man what he had found Xiangling.

Finally, he asked the old miracle doctor: "Do you think I should let her recognize Sister Keqing?"

The old genius doctor hesitated and said: "If you let their sisters recognize each other, how can you explain that their birthplaces are thousands of miles apart?"

Lin Yun said with a bitter face: "This is also what gives me a headache."

The old miracle doctor: "I think it's better to do less than to do more. It's better to hide their background for now. When they meet as sisters in the future, you can ask Keqing to accept this girl as her adopted sister."

Lin Yun: "It doesn't seem fair to her."

The old genius doctor was about to try to persuade him, but he heard footsteps coming from outside the warehouse.

After a while, the little maid Tian'er came in supporting Xiang Ling after taking a bath.

At this time, Xiang Ling had changed drastically when she was brought back with Lin Yun.She was already extremely beautiful, but after putting on the newly bought clothes, Tian'er even combed her hair carefully into a cloudy bun, making her look both charming and lovely.

Lin Yun waved to Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, come and see the old genius doctor."

Xiang Ling was still not used to her new name. She was stunned for a moment, but she mustered up the courage to step forward, bowed to the old miracle doctor, and said, "Slave, please give my regards to the old miracle doctor."

Doctor Guo smiled and said, "Miss Xiangling, you don't need to be too polite."

Lin Yun reminded from the side: "Old genius doctor, please feel Xiangling's pulse to see if there is any weakness in her body."

The old genius doctor nodded and said, "Yes."

Lin Yun hurriedly stood up, gave her seat to Xiang Ling, and then instructed her to stretch out her arms and let the old miracle doctor take her pulse.

Xiangling is timid and seems a bit resistant to strangers.Fortunately, she trusted Lin Yun and was willing to obey his words.

...

Taking advantage of the time when the old genius doctor was taking Xiangling's pulse, Lin Yun took out a handful of silver keys, handed it to Tian'er and said, "Thank you for your help today, I'll take this to buy candy."

Tian'er took the silver curly happily, bowed to Lin Yun and said, "Thank you, my servant, for your reward."

Lin Yun said again: "If you have time in the future, please come and talk with Xiangling to relieve boredom."

"Your servant respects your life."

Tian'er went on to say: "Young master, if you have time, please go and see our girl."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Okay."

"The slaves retire."

Seeing that her wish had come true, the little maid bid her farewell obediently and left.

...

Here, after taking Xiangling's pulse, the old genius doctor said to Lin Yun, "Miss Xiangling is a little weak. It must be that her daily diet is not perfect. You'd better make up for her."

"I got it."

Lin Yun quickly called Xiao Mo over and asked him to help Xiang Ling prepare meals.

The old miracle doctor chatted with him for a while, and when Xiao Mo brought the food, he left.

...

Xiang Ling looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Then she secretly glanced at Lin Yun, worried that Lin Yun would see her gaffe.

When Lin Yun saw this, he smiled and said, "You can eat whatever you want. You don't have to be restrained here."

Xiang Ling timidly said: "Nurse Mama said that servants can only eat after the master eats."

"In my place, there are no such rules, you can eat as you please."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, seeing that Xiangling still refused to eat, he had no choice but to stand up and said, "Eat slowly, I'll go out first."

...

After Lin Yun left, Xiangling looked at the sumptuous food in front of her and struggled for a long time. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation of the food and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to start eating.

At the beginning, she still remembered Mammy's teachings, thinking that she would only eat a little food.

But while eating, she forgot everything, not only ate up the rice in the bowl, but also ate most of the food on the plate.

Finally, seeing the leftovers on the plate in front of him, Xiangling was dumbfounded.

She was secretly afraid in her heart, she ate so much, and wondered if the kind-hearted little master would be angry, if he drove her away, what would she do?

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, and her little face was almost tangled into a bun.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the warehouse.

Xiang Ling looked up guiltily, and saw Lin Yun leading Xiao Mo in.

She hurriedly stood up, and said timidly: "Third Master, this servant is wrong."

Lin Yun was puzzled by what he heard, and he asked with a puzzled look, "What's the matter with you?"

"The servant girl ate too much."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago, there are no such broken rules here."

Xiao Mo also laughed at the side: "Miss Xiangling, our third master treats servants the best. You will get used to it after staying for a long time."

Seeing that Lin Yun was not angry, Xiangling immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Third Master, slaves can do many things, such as combing hair, folding clothes, incense, making tea, and grinding ink. These slaves can do it."

Lin Yun laughed when he heard that, the little girl was worried that he would drive her away.

Asking Xiao Mo to take out all the tableware, Lin Yun sat down and said, "Xiang Ling, you don't need to do any of this. You just need to take care of yourself."

Xiangling said with a confused face: "Third Master, if the servants are lazy and do nothing, they will be punished by the mother."

Lin Yun: "Don't worry, from now on, no one will come to punish you again."

Xiang Ling: "That doesn't work either. A slave is a maid, so she should help the master. It's wrong to be lazy."

"Well, well, you can do whatever you want in the future."

"My servant, thank you, Third Master!"

After Xiangling finished speaking, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea gracefully.

After pouring out, she took the teacup with both hands, handed it to Lin Yun like a treasure, and said, "Third Master, please drink tea."

Lin Yun stretched out his hand to take the teacup, and praised: "That's right, it's much better than Xiaomo."

Xiangling smiled at him shyly, with a happy expression on his face.

Lin Yun secretly sighed in his heart, this girl really lacks love and care, a word of praise can make her feel happy.

He put down his teacup and asked, "Xiangling, do you want to go out and watch the show?"

Xiangling asked hesitantly, "Is it possible?"

Lin Yun: "I just want to go out to watch a show, so you can go with me."

Xiangling heard the words and said happily: "Your maidservant respects your life."

Chapter 1: A chaotic situation

The main venue of the Oiran Competition is a spacious sandy field, with mountains and water behind it, and a wide field of vision. The huge venue has long been surrounded.

As the boats and boats from all over the place arrived one after another, the venues outside were already crowded with crowds. Various snacks and juggling were displayed in the venues, and the hawkers shouted one after another, which was very lively.

If you want to enter the venue to watch the performance, you have to buy a ticket, that is, buy a small red flower, and a flower is worth one tael of silver, that is, one thousand Wen.

A tael of silver is nothing to Lin Yun, but to ordinary people, it is already a big expense.

Therefore, the number of people staying outside to watch the excitement was several times more than the number of spectators inside.

Lin Yun stood outside the crowd and took a visual inspection. There were about ten thousand spectators outside the arena. Most of these people could only stroll outside the arena and buy some snacks to satisfy their appetite. After the competition is over, maybe they can go back and brag about themselves. I saw how beautiful a certain courtesan looks.

...

It was noon, and visitors from afar were still entering the venue. From time to time, fare evaders were discovered and beaten and scolded.

Lin Yun saw that there were too many people entering the venue, so he found a small stall with few people, and a few people sat down and ate some bean curd pancakes to cushion their stomachs.

Considering that Xiangling had already eaten, Lin Yun ordered a bowl of bean curd for her.The little girl didn't seem to have any resistance to the food, she put it into her mouth spoon by spoon, eating with gusto.

Xiao Mo gnawed on the pancakes, and asked Lin Yun: "Third Master, which girl can win the oiran competition this time?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "If I can guess correctly, I will immediately run to place a bet and buy her a few thousand taels of silver."

Du Sha: "Third Master, if you could choose, which girl would you support?"

"I will support Miss Yimei."

Xiao Mo said in surprise: "Third Master, you don't know Miss Yimei well, why do you support her?"

Lin Yun smiled lightly and didn't explain much.

He thought to himself, since Miss Yimei was introduced by the Xue family, Jia Yucun must support her secretly, and the one who can pose a threat to Miss Yimei must be Miss Piaomiao, the previous oiran.

Lin Yun was thinking about something, when he suddenly heard a diner beside him excitedly say: "Do you know? I heard that Miss Yiyun, a famous prostitute from the capital, arrived in Jinling yesterday, and she must be planning to participate in this year's Oiran Competition."

Another diner retorted: "We have Miss Piaomiao, Miss Ruoxu, and Miss Yimei. These three are all stunning beauties. Could it be that they can't compare to a foreign Yiyun?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that Miss Evian is beautiful and a very good dancer. I can't guarantee that she won't become a blockbuster."

Lin Yun turned his head and looked to the side, and saw that the people talking were some young men dressed as scholars.

A handsome young scholar said worriedly: "Dancing well is the second thing, the most important thing is that there are many famous people in the capital. If someone writes a good poem for Miss Yiyun, she might be able to compete for the championship." Chance."

A fat scholar said disdainfully: "The competition in the Oiran Competition is about silver. Without the support of the salt merchants, the Evian girl will have no chance of winning even if she dances like a flower."

The fat scholar's words immediately caused condemnation from the rest of the people. They were all passionate young people who hadn't been severely beaten by the society, and they still kept their naive thoughts.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and someone shouted in surprise: "Look, the floats from the Songzhu Pavilion are coming."

Several scholars stood up immediately when they heard the words, and ran away after paying their bills.

Xiao Mo muttered to the side: "These scholars are really boring. What's so good about women, why don't you go home and study more to get a good reputation."

Du Sha smiled and said: "A talented man deserves a beautiful woman."

"Shit, all beauties~"

When Xiao Mo was halfway through speaking, he remembered that there was a young beauty sitting next to him, and he hurriedly swallowed the words that were on his lips.

Xiang Ling asked with a cute face: "Brother Xiao Mo, what are beauties?"
