The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Pearl: "My clothes are put together with Xiangling's clothes, and she has packed them for me."

Lin Yun thought for a while and asked, "Before you leave, do you want to say goodbye to your parents?"

Xiangling: "Pearl's father is the hall master in Fuzhou, and her mother is also there."

Pearl: "My father is probably not in Fuzhou now. Last time I heard from my grandfather that between my father and my third uncle, there will be someone who will follow him to work in Guangdong."

Lin Yun thought to himself: "No wonder Fourth Master Zhu left the pearl here and ignored it. It turns out that the whole family went to Guangdong Sea."

At this time, Xiao Mo ran in with a look of surprise, and said to Lin Yun: "Third Master, someone from Beijing has sent a letter saying that the eldest daughter of the Jia family has been conferred the title of noble concubine by the emperor."

Lin Yun secretly sighed in his heart when he heard the words, "Yuanchun still made a noble concubine after all. I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the Jia family?"

Chapter 185: Go North

In the morning, at the wharf outside Jinling city.

Lin Yun was saying goodbye to a few dandies who came to see him off, at first he just wanted to take advantage of these yamen, but after being with them for a long time, those people even introduced Lin Yun as a bosom friend.

Now that parting is imminent, the yamen are a bit reluctant to part, wishing they could go to Beijing with Lin Yun for a stroll.

Tian Sheng didn't know if he was just lucky, or if he bought the test questions secretly, and he also made it to the list, ranking ahead of Lin Yun.

There were 26 undergraduates from the Imperial College on the list, and the one with the best score was Zhao Lin. He was ranked second and almost won the Xie Yuan.

The undergraduate Xie Yuan is Shangguan Jie, he is a scholar from Yangzhou, he is 23 years old this year, he can be regarded as famous at a young age, and he is in the limelight.

...

On the pier, Lin Yun was talking to a few dudes when he saw Hu Xiangyi galloping towards him on a horse with two guards.

He jumped off the horse in front of Lin Yun, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, General Dong is busy today and cannot come to see you off, let me say sorry for him, and I will apologize to you when I go to the capital another day. "

Lin Yun smiled and said: "He is busy with military affairs, I can understand it, as long as you come, it will be fine."

Hu Xiangyi lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lin, I heard that there is going to be a big battle in the northwest, do you know about it?"

Lin Yun asked with a smile: "Could it be that you want to go to the west to make a military exploit?"

Hu Xiangyi chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong here in Jinling, I'm tired of being bored. If I can go to the northwest to fight a few battles with the Mongols, maybe I can really make some military achievements."

Lin Yun smiled wryly and said, "The one who will lead the troops to the northwest this time may be Wang Ziteng, the commander of the Beijing camp. I have never had any contact with him, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

Hu Xiangyi: "Don't you know Prince Xuan? It shouldn't be difficult to ask him to help transfer someone to the northwest, right?"

Lin Yun: "It's not difficult to ask you to go alone, but without your brothers, what can you do in the northwest alone? In the end, you were sold, and you didn't even know how you died."

Hu Xiangyi chuckled and said, "Isn't it?"

Lin Yun said seriously: "We are brothers, can I still harm you?"

You can stay here with peace of mind, and if you have a chance in the future, I will take you to visit Guangdong Hai, which is a good place to make meritorious deeds and make a fortune.

Hu Xiangyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked: "Are you talking about fighting against pirates?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Although I missed the mark, it's not far off."

Hu Xiangyi rubbed his hands and said: "Although my soldiers have been wandering on the ship all year round, they have never been to the sea. I am afraid that once they go to the sea, they will turn into soft-legged shrimps."

Lin Yunle said: "It's still early, you just need to know it in your heart."

"Ok."

...

At this moment, Lin Yun saw Li Hongyi and several servants driving slowly towards the two carriages protecting them.

He hurriedly bid farewell to Hu Xiangyi, went forward to meet Li Hongyi, and asked Li Hongyi: "Brother, how many people will my aunt bring with me?"

Li Hongyi: "There are six or seven people. In addition to my aunt and two cousins, there is also a mother-in-law, two maids and two male servants."

Lin Yun: "I would like to arrange for my aunt and the Xue family to sit on the same boat. Do you think it is feasible?"

Li Hongyi: "I'll ask my aunt to see what she thinks."

After the carriage stopped, a woman in a curtain hat walked out of the carriage in front, followed by a middle-aged woman.

The woman stepped out of the carriage, raised her hand to lift her veil, bowed to Lin Yun and saluted, "I have met Mr. Lin, and I have caused you trouble along the way."

Lin Yun had met this woman once in Li's residence, and although he didn't talk much, it was considered to be an acquaintance.

He cupped his hands in return and said: "You don't have to be polite, Auntie. Brother Hongyi and I are like brothers, so you can just treat me as a junior."

Li Hongyi said from the side: "Aunt, Brother Yun arranged for you to sit on the same boat with Xue's mother and daughter, what do you think?"

The woman hurriedly asked: "Is there a foreigner living with Xue's house?"

Lin Yun: "Aunt Xue has a son under her knees. He is twelve years old. I can let him take the same boat with me."

The woman smiled and said, "That's no problem."

At this time, a pair of cute little girls came down from a carriage behind, followed by two older maidservants.

The woman waved to the two little girls and said with a smile: "Wen'er, Qi'er, come quickly and pay homage to Brother Lin."

The two little girls ran over quickly and called out to Lin Yun crisply: "Greetings, Brother Lin."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, it's a long journey, you two should be prepared to endure hardships."

The younger Li Qi asked Lin Yun: "Brother Lin, mother said that it will take more than a month to go to the capital by boat, is that true?"

Lin Yun: "Not bad."

Li Hongyi smiled at the side: "Wen'er, Qi'er, if you encounter any difficulties on the road, you should go to brother Lin for help, do you understand?"

"Well," the two little girls nodded vigorously.

Lin Yun waved at Pearl and shouted, "Pearl, take them to see Aunt Xue. If they need anything, just go to Xiao Mo for help."

Pearl: "Okay."

When Pearl led the three mothers and daughters and the maids and servants towards the boat, Li Hongyi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Yun: "My aunt's elder brother is in charge of the household department. His name is Zhou Sheng. This is my aunt. Father wrote him a letter, if you have a chance in the future, you can visit him."

Lin Yun took the letter and put it in his arms, then said to Li Hongyi: "Brother, the Imperial College is not a permanent residence after all, you should still consider whether to become an official."

Li Hongyi smiled bitterly and said, "My parents are old, and I, as the only child, can't travel far away from home."

Lin Yun: "Since that's the case, I won't persuade you any more. If your brother wants to become an official in the future, you can come to the capital to find me."

Li Hongyi: "Thank you!"

At this moment, Zhong Yi came over and reminded Lin Yun, "My lord, it's getting late, and it's time for us to leave."

Lin Yun nodded, then cupped his hands at Li Hongyi and said, "Brother, take care, little brother is leaving."

Li Hongyi: "You should also take care of yourself."

Lin Yunchong was still saying goodbye to several dudes Xue Pan and Feng Ziying shouted: "Brother Xue, Ziying, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked quickly on the gangplank to the ship. This time there was no official ship accompanying them. They rented two large, four small and five merchant ships.

The female relatives of Xue and Li are in the same big boat.Lin Yun, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and others also took the same big boat, and the rest were escorted and protected by guards and servants.

...

After Lin Yun got on the boat, he said goodbye to the people on the dock and asked Zhong Yi who was standing next to him: "Is Du Sha ready?"

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "It's ready. Tonight, the few of them will work together to eradicate all the dens of those traffickers."

Lin Yun: "Let him move cleanly, so that no one can catch him."

Zhong Yi said with a smile: "Tian Zhuang and the others are all scouts. Needless to say, they will understand this little detail."

Lin Yun nodded, and then shouted loudly: "Notify us and let the boat sail."

Chapter 186: Aftermath

In the early morning, Jia Yucun, who was sleeping, was pushed awake by his wife.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and heard his wife reminding him beside him: "Master, I seem to hear someone knocking on the door."

Jia Yucun listened attentively, and sure enough someone was knocking on the door outside.

He hurriedly sat up, while dressing, he said to his wife: "It's still early, you sleep a little longer, I'll go out and see what's going on."

The wife hurriedly said: "It's getting late, I should get up and prepare refreshments for the master."

At this time, a servant girl shouted from outside the door: "Master, madam, servant girl, go out and see who is knocking on the door."

"Go."

Jia Yucun said to the door, then straightened his clothes, then opened the bedroom door and walked out.

As soon as he came to the front hall, he saw a secretary walking in behind the maidservant, and said anxiously to him: "My lord, something happened."

Jia Yucun frowned and said, "Why are you panicking? If you have something to say, please speak slowly."

Shu Zuo: "I just got up today, and I heard the guards in the front office say that someone hung a few human traffickers outside the prefect's office last night."

Jia Yucun was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked quickly, "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know who did it. Those people only left this thing, and they ran away long ago."

After Shu Zuo finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun quickly took the letter, opened it to read, it pointed out the lairs where several human traffickers were, and asked him to send yamen servants to check.

After Jia Yucun read the letter, he immediately ordered to Shu Zuo: "Immediately send the yamen servants to search the villain's lair according to the letter."

Shu Zuo hurriedly said: "I haven't figured out the situation yet, sir, please think twice."

Jia Yucun frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Shu Zuo: "Please think about it, my lord, these human traffickers are so bold and reckless, how can they not have a backer behind them? If my lord, if you don't find out, send officers to arrest the people, if they offend the people behind them, wouldn't it be an unreasonable personal enmity with them."

Jia Yucun said angrily: "Those damn human traffickers have been sent outside the government office. Do you still want me to let them go?"

Shu Zuo: "Your Excellency misunderstood, I just advise you not to rush to send people to search, and it will not be too late to decide what to do after you figure out the situation."

"This~"

While Jia Yucun was hesitating, he saw a head catcher running in in a hurry, and said anxiously to him: "My lord, there are many people outside the yamen, and I beg you to punish those traffickers severely."
