The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun's heart was moved when he heard the words, he thought for a while, and said to Jia Min: "Aunt, did my uncle tell you that he is likely to be promoted to Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

Jia Min was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said pleasantly: "Is this true?"

"My uncle told me about it yesterday."

Jia Min was dissatisfied and said: "Even you know, why didn't the master tell me?"

"It must be that the news hasn't been settled yet. Uncle doesn't want you to worry."

Jia Min stood up, took a few steps back and forth in the room, and then asked Lin Yun, "You are going to the Song Mansion today, but for this matter?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Song to help my uncle reject this appointment, but Mr. Song said that this is an excellent opportunity for my uncle and asked me not to interfere carelessly."

Jia Min was stunned and said, "Why do you want to prevent your uncle from becoming the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

Lin Yun: "There are two reasons. One is that the northwest is a place of bitter cold. I am worried that my uncle's health will not be able to bear it. Another reason is that the war in the northwest is not easy to fight. I am worried that if the war is protracted, my uncle will be implicated."

Jia Min sat back on his seat, pondered for a long time before saying, "The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi is an excellent opportunity for your uncle, and you must not give it up easily."

After a pause, Jia Min said to Lin Yun again: "I want to go to the Northwest with my master to take office. Yu'er is not in good health. I want to keep her in the capital. Can you help me take care of Yu'er?"

Lin Yun said with a bitter face: "It's okay to take good care of Sister Yu'er. But I'm worried that she won't be able to bear the pain of separation."

Jia Min: "Don't worry, your uncle will definitely be transferred back in two or three years at most."

Lin Yun said worriedly: "If the ancestor wants to take his sister to live in Rongguo Mansion, what should I do?"

"This~"

Jia Min thought for a while and said, "Before I leave, I will tell my ancestor to let you take care of Yu'er."

Lin Yun said in his heart: "It's useless to say that, you should give up the old ancestor's idea of ​​wanting to marry the two families, so that it can be settled once and for all."

Seeing that his brows were frowning, Jia Min immediately smiled and said, "I don't know if this will be possible, why should you be so worried?"

Lin Yun said embarrassingly: "Auntie is right, I think too much."

At this moment, Parrot followed Cherry into the room.

Parrot saluted Jia Min first, and then reported to Lin Yun: "Third Master, that Uncle Xue is here again."

When Lin Yun heard that Xue Pan was coming again, he suddenly had a headache. That kid was like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off even if he wanted to.

He scolded himself in his heart, "It's okay, what are you doing to provoke that family? It's good now. Sister Baochai hasn't seen her a few times. The idiot has definitely recognized him. Aunt Xue is also confused, so she doesn't care about it anyway." boy.

Jia Min smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Since it's a relative who is here to visit, go and entertain him."

"Yes, nephew retire."

Just as Lin Yun walked to the door, Jia Min called him back again and told him, "Brother Yun, take some time to meet the old inner minister."

"My nephew understands."

Jia Min was very satisfied when he saw that Lin Yun was transparent.

Lin Yun complained secretly in his heart: "This aunt is really a heroine. If she is a man, she will definitely not lose to Jia Yucun."

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

Baochai got up in the morning, dressed up, and came to the main room to greet her mother.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her elder brother Xue Pan who had come earlier than her and was talking to her mother.

After Baochai went up to greet her mother and elder brother, she smiled at Xue Pan and asked, "Why did elder brother get up so early today?"

Xue Pan said with a smile on his face, "I'm discussing an important matter with my mother."

Baochai asked curiously, "What's the big deal?"

Aunt Xue said speechlessly: "Your brother said he wanted to marry Miss Lin."

"what!"

Baochai's eyes widened in surprise, looking at her brother with a happy expression, she didn't know what to say.

Xue Pan proudly said: "Mother, sister, I think so. As long as I marry Sister Lin as my wife, Brother Lin will become my brother-in-law. From now on, our family will not have to worry about no one to take care of our business."

Baochai hurriedly asked, "Brother, have you talked to Brother Lin about this?"

Xue Pan shook his head and said, "I haven't said anything yet. I want to discuss it with my mother first. As long as my mother agrees, I will talk to Brother Lin."

"Brother, I advise you not to say that this marriage is impossible."

Xue Pan asked anxiously, "Why?"

Baochai lowered her voice and said, "I think the ancestors here intend to get closer to the Lin family."

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter in surprise. Even she didn't know anything about this. How did Baochai see it.

Xue Pan asked urgently, "Sister, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the old lady wants Baoyu to marry Sister Lin as his wife?"

Baochai nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, the old ancestor probably had this thought."

Xue Pan said angrily, "What's so good about Baoyu? How can he be worthy of Sister Lin?"

Aunt Xue said with a dark face: "How outrageous! Don't say this again in the future."

Xue Pan retorted unconvinced: "Mother, whether I am your son or Baoyu is your son, why do you always speak for outsiders?"

Aunt Xue turned pale with anger at Xue Pan's words, she pointed at her son and scolded: "You evil, do you want to piss me off?"

"My son dare not."

Xue Pan apologized to his mother, then stood up again and said: "My son has gone to school, and I will come back to apologize to my mother."

After speaking, he turned and ran out the door.

After Xue Pan left, Baochai stepped forward and patted Aunt Xue on the back to persuade her, "My brother is always so careless, so why should mother be angry with him?"

Aunt Xue said worriedly: "Mother is not angry at him for contradicting him, but I am worried that he will talk nonsense outside. If your aunt and old lady listen to it, it will not hurt feelings."

Baochai: "Mother, don't worry, although my brother is out of control, he still has a sense of what he can say and what he can't say."

Aunt Xue grabbed Baochai's hand and said with emotion: "If your elder brother has one-tenth of your intelligence, mother will not have to worry about him."

"Brother is still young, it will change in the future."

Aunt Xue nodded, and then asked again: "Daughter, how did you find out that the old lady wanted Baoyu to marry Miss Lin?"

Baochai laughed and said, "This matter is very simple. From the attitude of our ancestors towards the elder brother of the Lin family, we know that she values ​​the power of the Lin family very much. If brother Bao can marry younger sister Lin, wouldn't the two families of Jia and Lin be close relatives?" Darling, go one step further."

"Daughter, you are very thoughtful. Mother, I didn't even think about this."

Baochai lowered her voice again and said, "Mother, my daughter feels that this marriage may not be possible."

"Oh, why is that?"

"I think the elder brother of the Lin family only has close contacts with the second elder brother Lian, but he is very indifferent to brother Bao. I think he will definitely object to this marriage."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Marriage can only be decided by the elders, there is no reason for the elder brother to interfere, let alone he is only Miss Lin's clan brother."

Baochai nodded silently. On the surface, she agreed with her mother's statement, but in her heart she disagreed. She had heard from Shi Xiangyun that Lin Yun once bullied Baoyu very badly, but the old lady and aunt did not punish him. How strong the status of the two governments is.

Aunt Xue sighed suddenly: "Oh! If your brother can really marry Miss Lin, then it will be a good marriage."

Baochai slandered inwardly when she heard the words, "Brother Lin doesn't even like Brother Bao, so how can he like his own brother?"

...

In the morning, in Sister Feng's courtyard, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng sat together for breakfast.

Ever since Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng felt unmotivated to do anything and was listless all day long. Even Jia Lian felt that something was wrong with her.

After Jia Lian finished his breakfast, he wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and smiled at Wang Xifeng, "If you want peace, go and see her."

Wang Xifeng said with a bitter face: "Ping'er's departure has greatly increased my pressure. I am so busy all day long that I don't have time to go see her."

After a pause, Wang Xifeng said angrily again: "That dead hoof of Ping'er doesn't know how to come back to see me, he really has no conscience."

Jia Lian: "Ping'er made such a fuss when she left, she wouldn't have the nerve to come back for the time being."

Wang Xifeng suddenly lowered her voice and said: "I gave Ping'er to Brother Yun this time, but my wife didn't pick on me. Do you think it's strange?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "What's so strange about this, my uncle led the army to go to the northwest, and our eldest girl lost a big backer in the palace, so she can only rely on her uncle in the future."

Wang Xifeng suddenly realized: "So that's the case. I said why did my wife suddenly change?"

When the husband and wife were chatting, they saw Yuanyang leading a little maid in, and smiled at the two of them, "Are you guys eating? It's a coincidence that I came here."

Jia Lian quickly stood up and smiled at Yuanyang: "It happens that I have already eaten. If Sister Yuanyang doesn't dislike it, she can use some here."

"Thank you!"

Yuanyang was also polite, and sat down in Jia Lian's seat.

Wang Xifeng asked the little maid to prepare breakfast for Yuanyang, and asked with a smile: "Sister Yuanyang, you come to my place, but what is the old lady's order?"

Yuanyang nodded and said, "I do have something to tell Second Master."

Jia Lian was about to leave when he heard the words and stopped, waiting for Yuanyang to speak.

Yuanyang: "Last night, the master told the old lady the news that our uncle Lin will be promoted to governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi."

"what!"

Jia Lian opened his mouth wide in surprise. He was just saying that the uncle went to the Northwest, and the eldest girl was left with her uncle to rely on. But now that the uncle is also released by the emperor, what about the eldest girl in the palace?

Wang Xifeng: "Sister Yuanyang, is this news reliable?"

Yuanyang nodded and said: "I heard from the master that this matter has been settled. The Lin family has already advanced the marriage of the nephew and young master, and plans to marry the young nephew and young master before Lin Guye leaves Beijing."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "When is the wedding?"

"No. 16 this month."

Jia Lian said in surprise: "No. 16, then there are only three days left?"

Yuanyang nodded and said: "The old lady asked you and Second Mistress to go over and see if there is anything that can help. The congratulatory gifts have been prepared, and the old lady asked you to bring Second Master Bao with you."

Wang Xifeng: "Are you going to Linyuan?"

"Yes."
