The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Jia Lian told Wang Xifeng what happened in Jinxiangyuan, and then said with emotion: "Brother Yun is such a gentle man, I never thought he would be so vicious when he beat someone up."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "If he doesn't have this ability, how can the emperor let him be a general?"

At this time, Xiao Hong brought a jug and a wine glass, and filled Jia Lian's glass with wine.

Jia Lian picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said, "I was really scared before. I felt that when Brother Yun beat someone, he seemed to be a different person."

Wang Xifeng: "Don't forget, he is now a general. If he is not vicious, how can he control those killers."

"That's right."

Jia Lian picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food, put it into his mouth, and said as he ate, "I can't figure out why Brother Yun can play with Xue Pan, but he doesn't care about Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng, who was eating, was stunned when she heard this. She put down her bowls and chopsticks and said to Jia Lian: "I think brother Yun is also very polite to Baoyu now. They can't get along. The main reason is that Baoyu doesn't like his way of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. .”

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I think the main thing is that Brother Yun doesn't want to get close to Baoyu. Have you noticed? In fact, there are many similarities between Brother Yun and Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "That's right, they all like beautiful girls."

Jia Lian frowned and said, "I'm talking serious to you."

Wang Xifeng: "Apart from this, what similarities do they have?"

Just as Jia Lian was about to explain, she saw a little maid shouting outside the door: "Second Master, Second Mistress," Sister Hu Po came. "

As soon as the words finished, Hu Po came in from the door and smiled at the two of them, "Second Master, Second Mistress, are you eating?"

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stood up to greet each other. Wang Xifeng smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Amber: "The old lady asked the slave to come over and ask the second master to reply."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "Sister Hu Po, do you know what my ancestors wanted me for?"

Amber: "It should be related to the young nephew. I don't know the specific details."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Second Lord, since the old ancestor wants to invite you, you should hurry over."

"Ok."

...

Jia Lian followed Amber to Jiamu's side and saw that the old lady was having a meal served by Yuanyang.

Seeing Jia Lian coming in with Amber, Jia's mother waved at Yuanyang and said, "I've used it up, let's withdraw."

"Yes, old lady."

Yuanyang waved to the side, and immediately two little maids came over and removed the tableware in front of Jia Mu.

...

After the maid went out, Jia Mu asked Jia Lian, "Is Brother Yun sure?"

"It has been confirmed. Brother Yun has received an official document from the Ministry of War and has been awarded the rank of fourth-grade general. He will report to the Beijing camp in two days."

After a pause, Jia Lian said again: "Old Ancestor, Brother Yun asked me to ask you, is there anyone on our side to help with his appointment as a general?"

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Your father and Brother Zhen are responsible for the outside affairs. It's good that they don't get in the way. How can I help him?"

Jia Lian said again: "Brother Yun asked one more thing. Can Niu Jizong be trusted?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Turn around and tell Brother Yun that the four princes and eight princes seem to be on the same page, but in fact they have already separated, so let him not trust anyone."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Grandson understands."

Jia Mu said again: "Did Brother Yun talk about your eldest sister?"

"Speaking of which, he asked the ancestor to try to remind the big sister that Xia Shouzhong is the queen's confidant, and he should be more careful about this person."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was surprised and said, "How did he know such a secret?"

Jia Lian lowered his voice and said, "It was the old inner minister who told Brother Yun that it was Eunuch Xia who revealed the gift to him from King Wu to the Son of Heaven."

"I see."

Mother Jia thought for a while, and then said, "Tell Brother Yun later that he must be more dedicated to your elder sister's affairs."

"Grandson understands."

Mother Jia wanted to say a few more words, when Baoyu's voice came in, "Sister Yuanyang, I heard that Brother Lian has come to see the ancestor?"

Yuanyang: "Second Master Lian and the old lady are talking inside, please wait a moment."

Jia Mu shouted out of the door: "Yuanyang, let Baoyu come in."

"Yes, old lady."

Just as Jia Lian was about to say goodbye and leave, he saw Baoyu running in, stopped him and said, "Second Brother Lian, I have something to ask you."

"Brother Bao, what do you want to ask?"

"I heard that Sister Yun lived in Lin Yuan recently, you went over today, did you see her?"

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Yes, sister Xiangyun and sister Lin live together as companions."

Baoyu said to Jiamu again: "Old ancestor, I heard that brother Lin is going to take up his post in the capital. Then sister Lin and sister Yun are not accompanied by anyone. Why don't we take them all over and live in our mansion."

Jia Lian frowned and said: "Brother Bao, Sister Lin is accompanied by Sister Xiangyun, and sister-in-law of the Qin family is taking care of her. It is much more comfortable than living in our house. Why do you bother. Besides, Brother Yun will not agree .”

Baoyu said anxiously: "Uncle and aunt are not here, so the ancestors should take care of Sister Lin."

Jia Mu said, "Baoyu, your aunt told me before she left that Yu'er will be taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law, so we don't have to worry."

"Uh,"

Baoyu was stunned immediately after hearing this. He thought to himself: "How can my aunt regard Brother Lin as more important than our ancestors? This makes no sense."

Jia Lian: "Old ancestor, if there is no other order, grandson will leave first."

"Go."

After Jia Lian left, Jia's mother comforted Baoyu again, "Wait for your elder brother Lin to rest, and I'll ask him to send your younger sister Lin over to play with you."

"Thank you old ancestor!"

...

After coming out of Jiamu's side, Baoyu went back to Bisha Kitchen, lay down on the bed, and felt stupid again.

Seeing this, Xiren immediately came over and asked with concern: "It was fine when I went out just now. Why has my kung fu changed now?"

Baoyu suddenly sat up, grabbed Xiren's hand and asked, "Xieren, what do you think is so good about Brother Lin that allows my uncle and aunt to trust Sister Lin to him with confidence?"

Xiren thought for a while, and said, "Guye Lin and auntie think that the young nephew is responsible."

"Responsible?"

"Yes, I heard that the young nephew blocked a bullet for Miss Lin, which shows that he is a person who can be trusted."

Baoyu hurriedly said, "I can do it too. For Sister Lin, I'm willing to do anything."

Xiren was speechless for a while, and she couldn't say something that Baoyu didn't like to hear, so she could only turn a corner and say, "Second master is still young, how can my aunt entrust Miss Lin to you with confidence."

Baoyu struggled and said: "But why didn't my aunt entrust Sister Lin to the ancestors?"

"Uh,"

Xiren had nothing to say now, logically the aunt should entrust Miss Lin to her grandmother, but in her heart, she felt that the young nephew was more suitable to take care of Miss Lin than the old lady.

Of course, as shrewd as she is, she would never tell Baoyu this idea.

...

Baoyu couldn't find the answer from Xiren, so he came to Tanchun unhappy.

When I entered the door, I saw Tanchun sitting at the desk and writing.

He walked over and asked, "Third sister, what post are you waiting for?"

Tanchun turned his head and smiled, "It's the make-up poem written by Brother Lin on the wedding day."

Baoyu became even more depressed when he heard the words. He sat on a chair and asked Tanchun, "Third sister, do you think I am much worse than Brother Lin?"

Tanchun said in surprise, "Second brother, why do you think so?"

Baoyu recounted his doubts to Tanchun, and then asked, "I just can't figure it out. Why doesn't my aunt let our ancestors take care of Sister Lin?"

Tan Chun laughed and said, "You claim to be familiar with hundreds of schools of thought, why don't you even understand this simple truth."

Baoyu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Third Sister, please advise me."

Tanchun: "Let me ask you, what is sister Lin's last name? Where is her home?"

Baoyu: "Sister Lin's natural surname is Lin, and her family is in Suzhou City."

Tanchun: "Sister Lin's surname is indeed Lin, but her current home is Lin Yuan. It's fine to come to our house as a guest, but it's not comfortable to stay for a long time."

Baoyu frowned and said, "Why?"

Tanchun picked up a pen and wrote on the paper the words "Ji Ren Xia Xia", then smiled at Bao Yu and said, "You should understand now, right?"

Baoyu shook her head and sighed: "My aunt is too caring. If Sister Lin was in our house, everyone would treat her sincerely. How could she be made to feel this way?"

Tanchun put away the paper and smiled at Baoyu: "Second elder brother always pushes himself to judge others. It's not surprising that you think so, but what will the servants in the mansion think and say? Can you restrain them?"

Baoyu smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "You are still smarter than me, and I feel ashamed."

Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, "You don't know the true face of Mount Lu, you only live in this mountain."

"Third sister is right, I am blind and cannot see Mount Tai."

After Baoyu figured it out, he suddenly felt much happier.

Chapter 216: The Queen's Oral Order

In the afternoon, Linyuan.

Ning Heng and Feng Ziying were very envious of Lin Yun being able to serve in the Beijing camp, and wished they could serve in the army with him.

It's a pity that Ning Heng is an only son, so the old prince cannot agree to him serving in the army.Feng Ziying's father was not in the capital, and his mother and brother did not agree with him joining the army.

Although Xue Pan didn't want to join the army, he was also troubled. Because of his good relationship with Lin Yun, he was excluded from the clan school and he didn't want to go to school.

The three guys had their own thoughts and soon drank too much.Lin Yun also drank a lot of wine and felt light-headed when walking.
