The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

If I want to ask how thin Jiang Mei is, I just look at the sad green skirt.The musk deer camp quilt is cold and cherishes the lingering smoke.

But I can endure the twilight cold and lean on the bamboo for a long time, so I won't open the door in the spring.The editor at the bottom of the loquat flower. "

After hearing this, Li Wan immediately praised: "What a good word!"

Tan Chun hurriedly asked Jia Lian, "Second brother Lian, who composed this poem?"

Jia Lian didn't answer Tanchun's words, but asked Baoyu, "Brother Bao, please explain to me the meaning of this poem."

Baoyu said with a strange face: "This is a poem written for prostitutes. It means to ask how much a beautiful woman like Jiangmei has lost weight recently. You only need to see how wide her skirt is. The musk in the smoked cage has already After it was completely burned, the quilt gradually couldn't keep out the wind and cold, and the remaining warmth is the most pitiful."

"Helpless, she leaned against Xiuzhu for a long time in the cold twilight. Even though the spring in front of her eyes was infinitely good, she didn't bother to open the door and go out. She just quietly wrote poems and lyrics under the loquat flowers."

After listening to Baoyu's explanation, Yingchun asked curiously: "Brother Bao, how do you know that this poem is written for prostitutes?"

Baoyu said with a smile, "The proofreader in the last sentence of the poem refers to Xue Tao, a singing girl in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Wan praised: "Brother Bao has read a lot of books, and he even knows this."

Baoyu asked Jia Lian, "Second Brother Lian, I have never seen this poem before. I wonder who wrote it?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Brother Yun wrote it. With this poem, he helped a prostitute named Yimei win this year's oiran in Jinling."

"what!"

Several girls in the room exclaimed at the same time, and Baoyu stared wide-eyed and said: "How is this possible? Brother Lin is not good at writing poems, how can he write such excellent poems."

Tanchun: "Brother Lian, did you make a mistake, brother Lin can't compose poetry?"

Jia Lian: "It is true that Brother Yun wrote this poem for Miss Yimei, but there are rumors outside that he copied this poem from a miscellaneous book, but no one believes this."

Li Wan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either. How could such a good word have never been heard before."

Xichun asked Baoyu, "Second brother, is this poem really good?"

Baoyu nodded and said, "It's indeed a good word. I'm afraid no one in this dynasty can match it."

Jia Lian thought to himself: "Brother Yun is really secretive. If I hadn't asked him to help Miss Yimei win the Oiran before leaving, I'm afraid he wouldn't have written this good poem."

Then thinking about Lin Yun helping Miss Yimei compete for the oiran and spending tens of thousands of taels of silver, Jia Lian suddenly felt a lot of pressure. This favor was too great, how could he repay it.

Chapter 188: The Xue family moves into Rongguo Mansion

It took more than a month to enter Beijing last time, but this time it only took more than 20 days for Lin Yun and his group to arrive in the capital.

On the pier, the carriage, sedan chair and servants brought by Jia Lian had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Lin Yun stepped off the boat, Jia Lian came up to meet him, cupped his hands and smiled at him, "Brother Yun, congratulations on your high school honors list."

Lin Yun smiled modestly: "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke to be on the list."

Jia Lian pointed to a young man beside him, and introduced to Lin Yun: "This is Mr. Zhou, his name is Zhou Chang, and he was sent by the Zhou family to meet the sister-in-law's aunt."

A young man named Zhou Chang smiled at Lin Yun, "Brother Lin, thank you for escorting my aunt all the way to Beijing."

"Should be."

Lin Yun returned a salute, and then asked again: "Brother Zhou, do you take Aunt Li home first? Or let them go to Jia's house to meet the sister-in-law first?"

Zhou Chang: "My father said, let me obey my aunt's arrangement."

Lin Yun: "That's fine."

...

At this time, Aunt Xue accompanied Aunt Li to get off the boat, and Lin Yun hurriedly led Jia Lian and Zhou Chang to meet the ceremony.

Jia Lian did have the demeanor of a noble son. Although Aunt Xue made a fool of him last time, he still came up to see Aunt Xue very politely this time.

After everyone had seen the ceremony, Lin Yun asked Aunt Li, "Are you going back to the Zhou mansion first? Or go to visit the elder sister-in-law first?"

Aunt Li: "I'm in a hurry today, so it's inconvenient to go there. I'll go to see the old lady in the mansion over there after I pick an auspicious day."

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Okay, when my aunt will come, you can send someone to inform Second Brother Lian so that he can send someone to pick you up."

Jia Lian: "Brother Yun said that when Auntie comes over, she must remember to send someone to notify me."

Aunt Li: "Thank you!"

Lin Yun walked up to the two little girls, smiled at them, and said, "Wen'er, Qi'er, if you want to come out to play in the future, let someone go to the Lin Manor to inform me, so that I can send someone to pick you up."

The two little girls responded in unison: "Thank you Brother Lin."

Lin Yun lowered his voice and told the older Li Wen: "If your mother encounters any difficulties in the future, remember to ask someone to tell me."

Li Wen nodded half-understanding and said, "Wen'er remembered."

...

Just as Aunt Li, mother and daughter were being sent away here, Feng Ziying walked over to Lin Yun and said, "Brother Lin, I am in a hurry to go back home to visit my mother, let's just say goodbye and we will meet again some other day."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay. I'll visit my aunt after I finish my housework."

"Thank you!"

Feng Ziying clasped her fist at Lin Yun, then rode on the horse Jia Lian had brought, and drove away with two guards.

...

After Feng Ziying left, Lin Yun hurriedly urged the servants of Jia's family to pack up their things quickly. This time, he and Aunt Xue brought a lot of gifts, as well as a batch of perfume and soap when they went to Beijing. The transportation was slow.

After all the goods were moved, Lin Yun got on his horse and said to Jia Lian, "Everyone in the house must be impatient. Let's leave quickly."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "That's true. I went to the Lin Mansion yesterday, and sister Yu'er was still asking me when can you return home today."

Hearing Jia Lian talk about Sister Lin, Lin Yun thought to himself, "I haven't seen her in half a year, and I don't know if the little girl has grown a bit taller."

Xue Pan rode over and asked the two of them, "Second Brother Lian, Brother Lin, my mother asked me to ask you when you can leave?"

Lin Yun put his legs between the horse's belly and shouted loudly, "Let's go."

"Here we come, auntie and the others are here."

Inside the West Corner Gate of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang heard the servants guarding outside come in to report that her sister had arrived, and she immediately led Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and a group of maids to greet her.

Two sedan chairs landed inside the west corner gate, and as soon as Aunt Xue stepped out of the sedan chair in front, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and called out, "Sister".

Aunt Xue took two quick steps, took Mrs. Wang's hand, and said emotionally: "Sister, I can see you. These years, my little sister misses you all the time."

Although Mrs. Wang has a cold temper, she is still very excited when she faces her sister, whom she hasn't seen for many years.

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also came over and saluted Aunt Xue together.

After seeing the ceremony with the two juniors, Aunt Xue shouted to the sedan chair behind her, "Baochai, come and see your aunt and two sister-in-laws."

Here, Zhou Rui's family walked up to Baochai's sedan chair, stretched out his hand towards the sedan chair door, and said, "Miss, please get out of the sedan chair."

Baochai stepped out of the sedan chair, stretched out her hand to support Zhou Rui's family, walked forward slowly, bowed to Mrs. Wang and said: "Baochai pays homage to Auntie!"

Mrs. Wang sized Baochai up and said, "Young girl Baochai has grown so big."

Wang Xifeng came over and said with a smile, "Sister Baochai, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

Baochai smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Feng, for thinking about me. I'm fine."

Li Wan also came over and greeted Baochai. He treated Li Wan, but Baochai was much more polite.

After all the female relatives had seen the ceremony, Lin Yun brought Xue Pan over to meet Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng.

Madam Wang never had a good impression of Lin Yun.However, this time it was Lin Yun who escorted Aunt Xue's family to Beijing, so she didn't want to be too indifferent, so she said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."

After everyone chatted, they went to Rongqing Hall where Jiamu lived.

Li Wan walked a few steps behind, walked up to Lin Yun and asked, "Brother Yun, my aunt and the others~"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Aunt Li and the others went to Zhou's house first, and when she was parting, she told me that she would formally come to visit another day."

Li Wan asked worriedly: "Is there someone from the Zhou family to pick them up?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if there are no important people there to welcome them, how can I let them go there?"

Li Wan blushed when she heard the words, and said: "I was worrying too much, you are still very reassuring in doing things."

Lin Yun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Wan: "When I went to Jinling this time, my uncle and Brother Hongyi took good care of me. They also missed you very much. Before leaving, Brother Hongyi told me to take more care of you. .”

Li Wan took the letter, his eyes were reddish and said: "Are my parents and elder brother all right?"

"They're all fine! Just a little worried about you."

At this time, the crowd had already arrived outside the flower hall of Rongqing Hall, and Mother Jia led Baoyu and the Sanchun sisters out to welcome Aunt Xue's family.

Standing behind the crowd, Lin Yun saw Baoyu looking at Baochai with a good eye, he thought to himself, "Sister Lin is not living in Rongguo Mansion now, so the hope of a happy marriage between Baoyu and Sister Bao must be greatly increased. I just don’t know if the old lady will object.”

When Lin Yun was thinking wildly, he saw Mother Jia waving at him and smiling, "Brother Yun, what are you doing hiding behind?"

Lin Yun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the old lady, "Lin Yun pays respects to our ancestors."

Jiamu said cheerfully, "I heard from my aunt just now that you took good care of her family's business in Jinling. It's really hard for you."

Lin Yun: "It's just a handy favor, it's nothing."

Xue Pan suddenly interjected from the side, saying, "Brother Lin spent more than 3 taels of silver for our family's business, which is a lot of money."

"what!"

Everyone exclaimed when they heard the words, even Jia's mother was frightened by Xue Pan's words.

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Old Ancestor, don't listen to brother Xue's nonsense, I don't have so much money."

Xue Pan was about to refute, but Lin Yun gave him a hard look, and blocked what he was about to say.

Jia Mu smiled knowingly: "No matter how much money you spend, it's good if you have this heart."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "That's right. My Pan'er is young and ignorant, so I have to ask Brother Yun to take care of him more in the future."

"Take care of each other."

Lin Yun said this on his lips, but he complained crazily in his heart: "Aunt Xue, you are a pickpocket, wait until you live in Rongguo Mansion, and see how this family will empty your pocket."
