The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"Exactly. However, the third master went out of the mansion with Uncle Xue just now."

When Baoyu heard that Lin Yun was not there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Qian Cong accompanied Baoyu to the mansion and sent someone to the inner house to inform Ping'er.

When they walked to the gazebo, they saw Ping'er leading two little maids to greet them.

As soon as they met, Ping'er bowed to Baoyu and said, "My maidservant greets Second Master Bao."

Baoyu hurriedly bowed his hand to return the gift, and then asked: "Sister Ping'er, I heard that Sister Bao and Sister Xiangyun are here?"

Ping'er nodded and said: "The girl asked the third master to take them over as guests. Originally, she also wanted to invite a few sisters from the mansion over there, but she was worried that the mansion was too busy to be disturbed."

Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?"

Ping'er: "The girls are all playing around in Dongnuange, let me take Second Master there."

"Thank you, sister Ping'er."

...

Dongnuang Pavilion is a courtyard in front of the inner house. It is used to receive guests in winter and is not far from the outer study.

When Ping'er led Baoyu through the outer study, he happened to meet Qin Zhong coming out with his servant.

When Qin Zhong saw Ping'er coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, sister Ping'er!"

Ping'er returned a salute, and then introduced with a smile: "Master Xiao Qin, this is Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion."

Qin Zhong quickly saluted Baoyu, "Qin Zhong has met Mr. Bao."

Baoyu had long heard that Lin Yun had a brother-in-law named Qin Zhong, but he had never met him. Seeing him today really made his eyes shine.

He secretly said in his heart: "Unexpectedly, there are such romantic people in the world. Compared with them, I am like a muddy pig and a mangy dog."

Qin Zhong saw Baoyu's gorgeous clothes, outstanding appearance and good manners, so he had a good impression in his heart, so he wanted to make friends with him.

He asked Baoyu, "Did Second Master Bao come to look for my sister-in-law?"

Baoyu thought to herself, "What am I doing with that evil star? If it weren't for Sister Lin living here, I wouldn't even come if you beat her to death."

He made a few casual remarks and then asked Qin Zhong, "I wonder where brother Qin is studying?"

Qin Zhong: "Sister-in-law invited a gentleman for me to study in the mansion."

Baoyu said hurriedly: "My Jia family has a family school. Why don't brother Qin go to my family school to study?"

Qin Zhong was quite moved when he heard this, but before he could speak, he heard a majestic voice from the opposite side, "Qin Zhong, it's time to teach."

"Yes, sir."

Baoyu looked back and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, who glanced at him with disgust, and then reproached Ping'er: "Miss Ping, don't invite irrelevant people to disturb Qin Zhong's study in the future."

"I know I was wrong, I won't do it next time."

Ping'er respectfully admits his mistake, and then winks at Baoyu, reminding him to leave quickly.

Baoyu reluctantly left the study room, caught up with Ping'er and asked, "Sister Ping'er, is Qin Zhong studying alone in the house?"

Ping'er nodded and said, "Yes."

After a pause, she remembered again and said, "Brother Lan sometimes comes over to ask Mr. He about his homework. When the third master is free, he will personally give them advice."

When Baoyu heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."

Ping'er asked in puzzlement, "What's the pity?"

Baoyu: "Brother Qin is such a romantic person, but he was taught by Brother Lin to be a national traitor, what a pity."

When Ping'er saw Baoyu's old problem again, he pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't refute him.

Baoyu suddenly thought of it and said, "Sister Ping'er, can I go to the inner house to meet Sister Qin's family?"

Ping'er frowned when she heard this. How could she not know Baoyu's little thoughts? She just saw that Qin Zhong was good-looking and wanted to see what Qin Keqing looked like.

She shook her head at Baoyu and said, "The third master has ordered that outside men are not allowed to enter the inner house at will."

Baoyu became depressed when he heard it. He had always heard that Qin Keqing was as beautiful as a flower. He had even seen that idiot Xue Pan, but he still couldn't meet him. It really made him itchy.

Fortunately, he, Hepinger, soon came outside Dongnuange, and through the opposite window, he could hear Shi Xiangyun's silvery laughter coming from the room.

Baoyu walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward, pushed the door open and looked inside, and saw a group of girls sitting in the room, drinking and joking.

Baoyu laughed at the crowd and said, "You guys are having fun here, but you didn't inform me. It really makes me sad."

Daiyu stood up and said jokingly: "The Concubine Xian has a happy event, how can we dare to disturb you?"

Baoyu frowned and said, "Sister, stop talking about this."

Shi Xiangyun stepped forward and took Baoyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Ai, Sister Lin has taken in a student named Xiangling, and her talent and learning are also very good. We are inviting her to join the poetry club."

"Oh!"

Only then did Baoyu notice that Xiangling, who was sitting with Baochai, immediately widened his eyes and asked, "Could it be this sister?"

Chapter 231: Finding Fun

In the morning, Lin Yun first went to the dock outside the city to see the old miracle doctor back to Yangzhou, and then made an appointment with Ning Heng and Feng Ziying to drink wine at Jinxiangyuan.

Xue Pan followed him wherever he went, like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off no matter how hard he went.

Lin Yun thought it was his own might and domineering that convinced the boy. If he knew that Xue Pan wanted to be his brother-in-law, he would definitely beat that guy to death.

After Jinxiangyuan sent Xue Pan back drunk, he relaxed.

...

When Lin Yun returned to the mansion, he heard from Qian Cong that Baoyu had arrived, so he gave up the idea of ​​seeing a few little gold hairpins and went straight back to the inner house.

I heard the little maid said that Qin Zhong had come and was talking to grandma in the room.Lin Yun was very curious, wondering if Baoyu and Qin Zhong had met.

After lifting the curtain and walking into the house, a blast of warm air hit my face.

Looking up, I saw Qin Keqing sitting on the kang, embroidering and talking to Qin Zhong who was sitting opposite.

Seeing Lin Yun coming in from the outside, Qin Zhong quickly ran down from the kang, and respectfully saluted: "Sister-in-law, you are back."

Lin Yun nodded slightly and said, "Sit down, you're welcome at home."

Qin Keqing put down the embroidered bandage in his hand, stood up and stepped forward, taking off Lin Yun's cloak and handing it to Ruizhu who was standing by.

Immediately, he ordered Baozhu again: "Go and help the third master make a cup of sober tea."

"Yes, grandma." Baozhu responded and went out to make tea.

When Lin Yun sat down on the warm pit, Qin Keqing smiled at him and said, "Husband, just now Zhong'er said that he wants to go to Jia's family to study, do you think it is feasible?"

Lin Yun's expression turned cold when he heard the words, he looked at Qin Zhong and asked, "Did Baoyu invite you?"

Qin Zhong said with a guilty conscience: "Yes, Second Master Bao said that there are many students in the Jia family school, and they can discuss knowledge with each other when they go in."

Lin Yun: "How did my brother-in-law teach you? I told you to think more about things, but you forgot? If Jia's family studies are so good, why didn't I send you to study?"

Qin Keqing nodded and said: "Zhong'er, what your sister-in-law said is right, if the family studies of the Jia family are so good, it would not be difficult to send you to study given the relationship between your sister-in-law and that Lian's second brother."

Lin Yun: "Also, why did Lan Geer come to our mansion to ask He Fuzi for advice? Do you think he came to play with you?"

Qin Zhong was blushed by Lin Yun's words, he only wanted to study with Baoyu in the clan of Jia's family, but he didn't think deeply about these things.Now that he heard Lin Yun's reminder, he realized that there might be something wrong with Jia's family history.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong."

Seeing Qin Zhong's sincere confession, Lin Yun's face softened and said: "You are different from Baoyu. He studied to show off his knowledge in front of others. There is no food. What about you? Your father-in-law and your sister are counting on you to grow up and be successful, you can't let them down."

Qin Zhong said ashamedly: "I was wrong."

Qin Keqing quickly spoke to smooth things over, "Husband, since Zhong Er knows that he was wrong, please forgive him for this incident."

Lin Yun nodded, and then said: "When you are tired from studying, I will ask my servant to accompany you to go shopping. I will tell Sister Ping'er that I will give you three taels of pocket money every month."

Qin Zhong said happily after hearing the words: "Thank you sister-in-law!"

Lin Yun warned: "Every time you leave the house, you must report to your sister. Also, you are not allowed to go shopping outside for more than an hour."

"Yes."

Qin Zhong got the promise of being able to go shopping and left with satisfaction.

At this time, Baozhu came in with a tea tray.

Qin Keqing picked up the teacup from the tea tray, handed it to Lin Yun and said, "Thank you husband!"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Zhong Er is also my younger brother, and it is also my responsibility to control him."

"My husband said so."

After a pause, Qin Keqing said again: "Husband, is Jia's family study really that bad?"

Lin Yun took a sip of the hangover tea, and then laughed teasingly: "There are a group of rabbit masters locked up in the Jia Family School, do you think Xiao Zhonger can go in?"

When Qin Keqing heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment, while Baozhu asked curiously: "Third Master, what is Master Rabbit? Is it a little rabbit?"

Qin Keqing glared at Baozhu and scolded: "Don't pry around."

"Oh."

Qin Keqing rolled her eyes at Lin Yun again and said coquettishly, "Husband, please don't talk nonsense."

"Listen to you, stop talking."

Lin Yun turned his head and told Ruizhu: "Go and get Go, I want to play a game with your grandma."

"Okay." Rui Zhu walked out in response.

Qin Keqing: "My concubine is stupid, I'd better ask my younger sister to come over and play chess with my husband."

"Today I'll teach you a new game called backgammon, you don't need to use your brain."

Lin Yun cleaned up the small kang table while talking, and Baozhu hurried up to help when she saw her.

Lin Yun smiled at Baozhu again: "You can also follow suit, it's easy to learn."
