The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun said in his heart: "After the Grand View Garden is built, you won't say that anymore."

Jia Min stepped out of the sedan chair, and got off the carriage with the support of Pomegranate and Cherry.

As she walked, she looked around. There was a bluestone path in the courtyard gate, leading to a hanging flower arch.

On both sides of the path, various green plants are planted, and rockery and strange rocks are mixed in between.At the corner of the courtyard wall, a small side room was built, presumably for the servants on duty.

Lin Yun accompanied everyone through the bluestone path, and then passed through the hanging flower arch. He found that there were two rows of wing rooms on the left and right sides of the second courtyard. There were still various plants planted in front of the house, but there were no rockeries or rocks.

No need to think about it, Lin Yun also knew that this was the place where the male servants in the mansion lived.

Jia Min only took a few glances at the front yard, then quickened his pace and walked towards the back yard.

She had seen the drawings of this yard before, but she hadn't come over to see it with her own eyes.

...

When everyone walked into the third courtyard, Lin Yun was shocked. The area here was larger than the two courtyards in front. In addition to flowers, trees, rockery and strange rocks, there were ponds, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

Daiyu smiled pleasantly and said: "Mother, brother, look quickly, there is a pavilion on the pond here, and in the summer, you can rest and enjoy the coolness in this pavilion."

Lin Yun said with a bitter face, "Is this garden too extravagant?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "The capital has already been built, it's too late for you to talk about luxury now."

"I'm just talking."

Under the leadership of Jia Min, the crowd held on to the mahogany railings and stepped on the bridge to the pavilion in the middle of the pond.

There is a small mahogany desk and two small stools inside.

Jia Min sat down beside the table, smiled at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, I have something to talk to your elder brother, you lead them around."

"Okay, mother."

Lin Yunchong reminded Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, you should pay more attention so that everyone does not get separated."

Pearl nodded, "Okay."

...

After Daiyu left surrounded by the maids and wives, Jia Min looked at Lin Yun and said seriously: "What's going on with that girl named Xiangling?"

Lin Yun explained: "I met that girl when I was buying a maid in Jinling. I saw that she looked a bit like Ke Qing, so I thought of bringing her back and asking Ke Qing to recognize her as my sister."

Jia Min said angrily, "You still want to lie to me? That girl is clearly Keqing's lost sister."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "My nephew also has the same suspicion, but there is no evidence."

Jia Min hated iron and steel and said: "Are you out of your mind, a Keqing is enough to trouble you, plus a Xiangling, do you still want to live a peaceful life in the future?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly: "Auntie said what should I do? Should I return her to the trafficker and let her be sold as a prostitute?"

"This~"

Jia Min was blocked by Lin Yun's words, and she couldn't say that she asked a troubled princess to be a prostitute.

In the end, she gave Lin Yun a hard look, and reprimanded: "Did you already plan to block me with such words?"

"Aunt forgive me."

Jia Min said again: "Let Keqing recognize Xiangling as his younger sister, don't mention it again in the future."

"We can't let Xiang Ling be a maid, right?"

"I'll recognize her as a righteous daughter."

Lin Yun heard this and said anxiously: "This is not possible."

Jia Min asked suspiciously, "Why not?"

"This~"

Seeing Lin Yun's embarrassed expression, Jia Min immediately understood, and she asked angrily, "You don't mean to take Xiangling as a concubine, do you?"

Lin Yun said with a guilty conscience: "I didn't know that Keqing had a younger sister, and she was with Xiangling."

"you~"

Jia Min stood up abruptly, and scolded Lin Yun: "You were fine, why did you go to Jinling and become a womanizer? Xiaoya, Xiangling, Pearl, and that prostitute named Liu Ruoxu, Tell me honestly, what exactly do you want to do?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Auntie calm down, it was the old genius doctor who taught me to ruin my reputation, so that Your Majesty can rest assured."

"Uh~"

Jia Min looked at Lin Yun and said in surprise, "Is that what the old genius doctor told you?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "That's true. If my aunt doesn't believe it, I'll tell you when I see the old miracle doctor next time."

Jia Min sat down again, glared at Lin Yun and reprimanded, "Then you can't be too presumptuous, can you physically handle so many women at once?"

Speaking of this, Jia Min's cheeks were blushing. Although she is Lin Yun's elder, she must be separated by a layer. It is really inappropriate for her to say this.

"Aunt, don't worry, my nephew has studied medicine and knows how to behave."

"It's good that you know."

Jia Min was embarrassed to talk about this again, so she changed the topic and said, "The elder sister of Jia's family has become a concubine, and she will build a family-saving villa next year. The old lady wants me to contribute some money, so I can't talk to the master about it. , help me think of a way."

Lin Yun thought for a while and said, "My aunt asked me to help out with the money. It's easy. I can give out [-] or [-], but I don't think you should help with this."

Jia Min smiled wryly and said, "The old lady opened the golden mouth, no matter how difficult it is for me here, it is not good to let her old man down."

"Auntie, think about it carefully. Now that there is going to be a war in the Northwest, His Majesty must worry about lack of money. At this time, the Jia family is spending millions of taels of silver to build a family-friendly villa. What will His Majesty think?"

Jia Min was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said with sweat on his forehead: "Thank you for waking me up, otherwise I would be still in a daze and not helping."

Lin Yun: "Auntie has to find a way to tell the old lady that it's not worth it to empty out the Jia family's background in order to save a marriage. Although the eldest sister is a concubine, she will definitely be in a difficult situation in the palace. The Jia family should reserve a sum of money. , to open up the relationship in the palace for the eldest sister."

Jia Min nodded in praise and said, "What you said is reasonable, how about it, you go back to Rongguo Mansion and talk to your ancestors face to face."

Lin Yun said anxiously: "That's not okay, the old ancestor is getting excited now, I'm going to pour cold water at this time, not just looking for scolding."

Jia Min begged softly: "Brother Yun, there is nothing Auntie can do, you can't watch me go to the old lady to scold me."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "I can ask Lian's second brother and sister-in-law Feng to talk to the old ancestor."

Jia Min's face turned black when she heard it, and she pretended to be wronged: "Since you don't want to, my aunt won't force you, who made my life miserable, I didn't have a son, I'll go find it myself and scold you."

Lin Yun thought: "Aren't you playing a rascal?"

There was no other way, he had no choice but to say aggrievedly: "Don't be angry, Auntie, I'll just go."

Jia Min immediately turned from sadness to joy, and said with a smile: "That's right, you are a child, it is nothing to be scolded by your ancestors. When my aunt was young, she was beaten by the old lady."

Lin Yun complained in his heart: "You are lying to ghosts, who doesn't know that the old lady loves you the most."

Jia Min stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go to the back with my aunt to look at the house."

...

Lin Yun accompanied Jia Min to the back house, and found that there was a large courtyard on the left and right, separated by a flower wall and connected by a hanging flower arch in the middle.

Jia Min smiled at Lin Yun and said, "The courtyard on the east side is larger and is for you young couple to live in. I live in the west side of the mansion with your uncle and Yu'er. When your father was in Beijing, he chose a courtyard in front to live in. Anyway, this There are many houses inside, so you don’t have to worry about having no place to live.”

Lin Yun pointed to the east side and asked: "There are several small yards connected here, isn't it too wasteful?"

Jia Min said angrily: "You have brought back so many women, and I am still worried that there is not enough room in your back house."

Lin Yun said embarrassingly, "Nephew knows his mistake."

At this time, Daiyu waved to the two outside the gate of the courtyard, "Mother, brother, I've found a small courtyard, come and have a look."

"Come on!"

Lin Yun thought to himself while walking, "Go back and discuss with Master Zhuo, see if we can build a bath in the yard, and then make a few toilets out, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Chapter 193: Seeing Yuanchun for the First Time

Daiyu chose a small courtyard full of green bamboos. There are only three exquisite and elegant houses, which are hidden among bamboo forests and rockery. They must be used as inner study rooms. The environment is beautiful and quiet, which is very suitable for sister Lin. Mind.

In addition, this courtyard is very close to Lin Yun's residence, so it is convenient for her to visit there.

After Jia Min saw it, she felt that the place was too simple and unsuitable for living, so she advised Daiyu to live next to the main courtyard so that she could take care of it nearby.

But Daiyu just fell in love with this place and insisted on living here.Jia Min couldn't hold back her daughter, so she agreed to her request.

Daiyu also gave this small courtyard a nickname, Zhuxuan.

Since the bamboo was transplanted, many died. After seeing it, Daiyu begged Lin Yun to find someone to plant some more bamboo.

Lin Yun naturally agreed to such a small request, and he also suggested to Daiyu that planting only bamboo in the yard was too monotonous, and he could transplant some precious flowers and plants.

Daiyu was very dissatisfied after hearing this, and complained that he was a layman who didn't understand her own mind.

Lin Yun retorted that an environment that is too quiet will make people withdrawn and unsocial, which is not conducive to the physical and mental health of the occupants.

Jia Min felt that what Lin Yun said was right, and persuaded her daughter to grow more flowers and trees here.Daiyu finally reluctantly agreed to plant some plantains behind the house.

After hearing this, Lin Yun thought to himself: "With such an arrangement, the Zhuxuan will become the Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

He was about to persuade Daiyu a few more words, when he saw Xiao Mo rushing in and hurriedly said to him: "Third Lord, someone is coming from the palace."

Jia Min hurriedly asked: "Did your majesty announce that your third master will enter the palace to meet you?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Yes. The chamberlain went to the Lin Mansion first, and I came here with my uncle."

Jia Min rushed to Lin Yun and said, "Brother Yun, since the emperor summoned you, you should go quickly."

"Yes."

Lin Yun called Pearl again, told her to protect everyone, and left in a hurry with Xiao Mo.

...

When he walked out of the forest garden, he saw his father Lin Heng and Lin Ruhai talking with Dai Quan, and there were two servants standing beside him.

Lin Yun stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands at Dai Quan and said with a smile, "Lin Yun pays his respects to the old Inner Chancellor. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you in good health?"

Dai Quan cheerfully said: "It's okay. Your Majesty is calling, Mr. Lin, let's go to the palace to see you."

"Ok."
