The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"It should have been killed by the inner guards around Lin Ruhai. The villain was careless. After Lai Xi was kicked out, Wang He should have been withdrawn."

Mother Yin: "Aunt Mei is okay?"

"She's fine, the people around Lin Ruhai haven't suspected her yet."

"It's fine, just let her hibernate and don't have to do anything."

"Yes."

Mother Yin put away the box, stood up and asked, "Is Mr. Guo gone?"

"He hasn't left yet, he seems to be going to Piao Miao girl."

"You let someone tell him that I will practice it for him at noon today."

"Yes."

"Go."

...

Chapter 20: Provoking

As soon as the three of Lin Yun walked out of the Meixiang Building, they were blocked by someone. The person blocking the way was Feng Ziying, who was disturbed by Lin Yun, and the two guards who followed him.

Feng Ziying looked Lin Yun up and down, and said arrogantly: "Stinky boy, dare to play tricks on your young master, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving here easily."

Seeing this, Lin Fu was furious. He was about to go forward to reveal his identity, but Lin Yun stretched out his hand to stop him.

Lin Yun took a step forward, smiled at Feng Ziying and asked, "Little Fatty, what do you want to explain?"

Feng Ziying said angrily: "Don't call me little fat boy. My name is Feng Ziying."

"Okay, Fatty Feng, what exactly do you want?"

Feng Ziying puffed up her chest and said, "Kowtow three times and I will let you go."

"What if I don't knock?"

"Then fight with the young master, whether you lose or win, I will let you go away."

"That's a good idea. I've been itching my hands these past few days, so I'll use you as a sparring partner."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he took off his coat and threw it to Zhong Yi who was following behind.

The old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Brother Yun, that kid looks like someone who is used to fighting, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

"Uncle Fu, don't worry, I'm not a frail scholar."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to Feng Ziying and said with a smile, "Little fat man, what are you waiting for? Make a move."

"Good guy, watch the punches."

Feng Ziying rushed forward angrily, clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed Lin Yun's face. The punch was fast and fierce, which surprised Lin Yun greatly.

Before he had time to think about it, he stretched out his right hand sharply, twisted Feng Ziying's arm with a gold-wrapped wrist, and kicked Feng Ziying's leg with force with his left foot.

Feng Ziying originally thought that Lin Yun was a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, but was caught off guard by Lin Yun's one move and subdued him to the ground.

After Lin Yun easily won, he let go of Feng Ziying and said with a sarcasm, "With your martial arts skills, do you have the nerve to come out and find someone to fight?"

The little fat man looked Lin Yun up and down, and asked with surprise: "You can actually do martial arts?"

Lin Yun laughed mockingly: "I just know how to fight, it's because your skills are too weak."

Feng Ziying was furious when he heard the words, he suddenly jumped on Lin Yun, hugged Lin Yun by the waist, and wanted to use brute force to throw Lin Yun down.

Lin Yun was in a dilemma now, this kid was using close combat, and he couldn't bear to hit the opponent's back with his elbow, so he could only hug the opponent's shoulders, trying to lift the little fat man and throw him out .

But in this way, he lost his absolute advantage in strength, and was actually rolled to the ground by Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying was also used to fighting. Once she succeeded, she punched Lin Yun on the bridge of the nose with her fist.

Lin Yun suffered from the pain and was furious. Taking advantage of Feng Ziying's triumph, he grabbed Feng Ziying's left wrist, which was pressing on his chest, and threw it to the ground with all his strength. With both hands left and right, he slammed it on the little fat man's face. .

Seeing that the little master had lost the fight, Feng Ziying's two accompanying guards rushed forward immediately, wanting to go up to help.

Zhong Yi couldn't bear it long ago. Seeing that the guards on the other side were about to make a move, he handed over the clothes in his hand to the old housekeeper, and stepped forward to fight with the two of them one against two.

The old butler was stunned as he watched. He never imagined that Brother Yun, who looked gentle and gentle, could be so fierce in a fight.

Feng Ziying and Lin Yun tossed and beat on the ground, feeling that they couldn't take advantage of Lin Yun, the little fat man conceded, "No more fights, no more fights."

Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Lin Yun stopped his hands and stood up, and said to Feng Ziying, "I still have something to do today, let's make an appointment another day, and I will teach you a good lesson."

Feng Ziying raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks, and You Zi said firmly: "What's the point of fighting on foot, let's compete on horseback another day."

Lin Yun said contemptuously: "You are deceiving me that I have never ridden a war horse, are you? Shameless!"

Feng Ziying blushed and said, "I just said casually, who knew you had never ridden a horse?"

"I'll let you go today, and I'll settle the score with you another day."

Lin Yun put down a harsh word, then called Zhong Yi who was in a fight, and walked away quickly with the old housekeeper.

Feng Ziying shouted loudly from behind: "Stinky boy, you haven't told me your name yet?"

"My name is Lin Yun."

Lin Yun said his name without looking back, raised his hand and waved it above his head, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Feng Ziying murmured to herself: "Lin Yun, why have I never heard that there is such a young man in Yangzhou City who can fight?"

A follower came over and reminded Feng Ziying: "Master, I know the middle-aged man next to that kid."

"Oh! who is he?"

Attendant: "His name is Lin Fu, and he is the steward of Mr. Lin, the salt inspector of the Huaihe River."

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up when she heard the words, "That boy's name is Lin Yun, could it be that he is Master Lin's junior?"

Follower: "Seeing that Steward Lin treats him very respectfully, he must be."

"Now that we know who he is, it's easy to handle. Let's go back to the house first and invite him out to compete another day."

After Feng Ziying finished speaking, she squeezed into the crowd with two guards and quickly disappeared.

...

At this moment, in a fragrant boudoir upstairs opposite, a beautiful young girl was standing in front of the window, watching the fight downstairs with a smile on her lips.

A sudden voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Miao'er, is that kid interesting?"

The girl was startled. She covered her chest with her hands and looked back. She saw that the person standing behind her was Divine Doctor Guo. She smiled and said coquettishly: "Now that the old miracle doctor is here, why didn't you warn Miao'er."

Divine Doctor Guo said happily: "If I reminded you, how could I see you being interested in that kid?"

"I don't have one."

The girl replied shyly, then moved lightly, walked to the eucalyptus table and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured tea into the teacup.

Divine Doctor Guo walked to the opposite side and sat down, with a look of regret on his face: "After today, I'm afraid I won't be able to hear you playing the piano for some days, Miao'er."

The girl hurriedly asked: "Is the old miracle doctor going on a long trip?"

"Yes, the old man will go to the capital with that kid tomorrow."

"He will go too?"

The girl asked in silence, then lowered her head and poured tea into another cup.

Doctor Guo: "This time I will go for about three months, and I will probably be back in the spring of next year."

Then, he added, "Little Yun will come back in time."

The girl shyly scolded: "If he can't come back, why would you tell me?"

Doctor Guo cheerfully said: "I want to tell you this news, maybe I can play a piece of music for you to listen to this old man."

"Even if the old genius doctor doesn't say anything, the servant will play for you."

The girl smiled and stood up, walked slowly to the piano stand and sat down, plucking the strings gracefully.

Immediately, a pleasant sound of the piano sounded in the house.

...

Chapter 21: It's all routine

Lin Yun followed the old housekeeper back to the government office, and went to the backyard where Lin Ruhai and his wife lived.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Grandma Liu standing in the center of the courtyard, busy directing a group of servants to sort out various goods.Without thinking, Lin Yun also knew that these things must be gifts that Jia Min would take to Kyoto to give to each room of the Jia family.

Seeing Lin Yun coming in with the old housekeeper, Mammy Liu immediately lowered her face and said, "Brother Yun, you are really promising, you dare to run to the brothel in broad daylight."

Lin Yun quickly defended and said: "Mommy, I was dragged over by the old genius doctor. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Fu."

Seeing Nanny Liu looking at him, the old housekeeper said hurriedly: "I still have something to do. Brother Yun, you can go see the master and his wife yourself."

After the old butler finished speaking, he turned around and ran away without a trace.

Lin Yun secretly slandered in his heart: "The old guy really has no loyalty!"

At this time, Cherry walked out of a room, smiled at Lin Yun and said, "Young nephew, Master and Madam asked you to go in and answer."

Lin Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the house. When passing by Cherry, the little maid looked at the scar on his face with worry, and reminded in a low voice: "Master nephew, madam heard that you went to that kind of place. Very angry."

"I see."

Cherry went on to say: "Master said a few nice words for you in front of his wife."

"Oh."

Lin Yun was secretly curious after hearing this. Based on his previous conjecture, Lin Ruhai should be the one who was angry and Jia Min should speak for him. Why was this reversed?

Before he could think clearly, the two had already walked into the main hall.

Looking up, he saw Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sitting behind a round table. Daiyu was nestling in Jia Min's arms, looking at Lin Yun who walked in from the door with a look of gloating on her face.

Lin Yun took a step forward and spoke first: "Uncle, aunt, nephew went out to find a place to open a shop, and came back late, please forgive me."

Jia Min saw the scar on Lin Yun's face at a glance, and she immediately lowered her face and said, "Brother Yun, did you fight with someone outside?"

Lin Yun had already thought up his words, and he explained with a smile: "It was the old genius doctor who had a conflict with a little fat man. He didn't dare to trouble the old man, so he stopped me on the road. My nephew had no choice but to Only tried a few times with him."
