The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lin Yun complained secretly when he heard the words, he was not at the house, if Jia Min saw Miss Liu, he wondered if he would embarrass her.

After a pause, Lin Yun asked Lin Fu again: "Uncle Fu, why didn't you send someone to greet me outside the city when uncle came back this time?"

Lin Fu: "The master said that he is now a criminal, so he must keep a low profile."

Xiao Mo asked Lin Yun: "Third Master, His Majesty summoned Master Uncle as soon as he returned to Beijing, so he must be fine, right?"

Lin Yun glared at Xiao Mo, and said, "Don't inquire about this matter."

"Oh,"

Zhong Yi suddenly stretched out his palm and said, "It seems to be snowing."

Lin Yun looked up, and sure enough, he saw sporadic snow spots like foam, but disappeared on the ground.

...

Several people waited outside the palace for more than half an hour, until the snow foam gradually became bigger, Lin Ruhai came out with a solemn expression.

Lin Yun just wanted to go forward to ask, but heard Lin Ruhai whispered authentically: "I'll talk about it when I go back home."

Lin Yun hurriedly supported Lin Ruhai to get on the horse, then got on the horse himself, and drove towards Lin Yuan together.

...

When Lin Yun and the others surrounded Lin Ruhai and returned to the forest garden, the housekeeper Qian Cong had already been waiting at the door with a group of servants.

Lin Yun helped Lin Ruhai off the horse, and after being greeted by the servants, the two went straight to the inner house.

As soon as they walked outside the courtyard of the inner house, they saw Daiyu, wearing a red feather veil and a white fox-lined crane cloak, running out from the courtyard gate, and threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms, crying loudly.

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to caress Daiyu's lovely bun, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in a few months, and Yu'er seems to have grown a lot taller."

Lin Yun jokingly said: "There are also a lot of tears."

Daiyu was annoyed when she heard this, and she complained to Lin Ruhai: "Father, you and mother are not here, and my brother often bullies me."

Lin Ruhai said happily, "Really? How did your brother bully you?"

Daiyu: "My brother sleeps in late every day, but people force his daughter to get up early every day. Do you think he is hateful?"

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and said, "I don't know about this lawsuit. I'll let your mother judge it later."

While the three of them were talking, they saw Jia Min leading Qin Keqing and a group of girls walking over with colorful oil-paper umbrellas.

Lin Yun hurried forward and saluted Jia Min, "Little nephew pays respects to aunt."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Yun'er, you took good care of Yu'er, thank you so much."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "My sister has always been very good, she didn't let me worry about her."

...

Here, Qin Keqing led a group of girls to salute and greet Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai frowned immediately when he saw that Lin Yun had another concubine.

Before Lin Yun could explain, Jia Min took the lead and said, "Husband, Brother Yun's daughter-in-law has set up a banquet to clean up the dust for us. Go and wash up quickly so that we can have dinner."

"Ok."

After Daiyu left with Lin Ruhai, Jia Min said to Lin Yun again, "Yun'er, follow me, my aunt has something to ask you."

"Yes."

Lin Yun followed Jia Min to the inner study. As soon as the two sat down, Jia Min asked him, "Is the old lady okay?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle has offended brothers and mother Bao very badly this time. If my aunt goes to the mansion there in the future, I'm afraid she will be looked down upon."

Jia Min said dissatisfiedly: "I asked about your old lady's situation, what are you doing with your aunt?"

"The old lady should be okay."

Jia Min: "You can take a day off tomorrow and accompany your aunt to the house over there."

Lin Yun hesitated and said: "Can't we go there after a year?"

Jia Min scolded: "You're just talking nonsense. How can a daughter come back and not go to see her mother?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

Jia Min said again: "What's the matter with that girl Liu Rushi?"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "My nephew is about to report to my aunt. I want to take Aunt Liu as my concubine. I beg my aunt to make the decision."

Jia Min: "I heard from Ke'er that Miss Liu is in charge of all the sales for you in Jiangnan?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Is she trustworthy?"

Lin Yun said confidently: "Even if she was untrustworthy before, I still have the confidence to subdue her."

Jia Min nodded and said: "Be careful in everything, and there is no big mistake if you are careful."

"My nephew understands."

Jia Min stood up and said, "Let's go and have dinner with my aunt."

Lin Yun: "Auntie, wait a minute, my nephew has something to ask you."

"Oh, what is it?"

Lin Yun: "I want to know when my uncle published the secret book, did he expect that the emperor would announce it?"

Jia Min stared blankly at Lin Yun, and said after a while, "Who taught you to ask this?"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "There is no one else, it is my nephew who wants to ask clearly."

Jia Min said solemnly: "You are not allowed to ask this question again in the future, and I won't say it if you ask me. You have to remember that trying to figure out what you want is the way to death for a subject."

"Nephew knows his mistake."

"It's good to know you're wrong, let's go."

"Yes."

Chapter 2 Fifty: I'm going to be a father

In the west courtyard of Linyuan, there is a Red Plum Pavilion, which was modeled on the exquisite log cabin in the yamen of Yangzhou Lianghuai Tourist Salt Royal Envoy.

After lunch, Lin Yun accompanied Lin Ruhai to drink tea and enjoy the snow in Hongmei Pavilion.Looking outside from the raised window sash, you can see snowflakes flying, scattered on the blooming flowers, red and white, which looks extraordinarily enchanting.

Lin Yun wasn't in the mood to appreciate the snow, he looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, "Uncle is entering the palace today, did your majesty tell you how to arrange you?"

Lin Ruhai withdrew his gaze, looked at Lin Yun and said, "Your Majesty asked Uncle Wei to rest at home. It is estimated that I will not have a chance to recover until the war in the west is over."

After a pause, Lin Ruhai said again: "After the Spring Festival, your aunt and I plan to take Yu'er back to my hometown in Suzhou to settle down."

Lin Yun became anxious as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly said: "If uncle and aunt go back to Suzhou, nephew will also resign and go with you, it doesn't matter whether he is an official or not."

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty told Uncle Wei today that he was going to use you again. How could you just walk away?"

Lin Yun: "I am a young man with a weak crown, who dares to use it with confidence? Your Majesty said this just to appease you."

Lin Ruhai reprimanded: "Such disrespectful words, don't mention them again in the future."

"Uncle calm down, nephew just don't say anything."

Lin Ruhai patiently explained: "If Uncle Wei stays in the court, he will become a target for others to attack. You are also a smart person, and you should be able to understand the stakes."

"Of course my nephew understands, but he feels blocked in his heart."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "If you can't even accept this setback, how can you gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future."

Lin Yun smiled sheepishly and said, "My nephew never thought of gaining a foothold in the officialdom. I just hope that my uncle will be a high-ranking official and protect me to make money in the business field, so that the family can live a good life."

Lin Ruhai got up and walked to the window, looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and asked softly: "The scenery of red plums reflecting the snow looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

After a pause, Lin Ruhai continued: "But do you know how many people will be frozen to death and starved to death due to this heavy snowfall?"

Lin Yun was silent when he heard the words, how could he not know what Lin Ruhai said, he just didn't want to think about it.

Lin Ruhai turned back to Lin Yun and said, "Actually, your talent for being an official is much higher than that of your uncle. I heard from the emperor that what you did in Zuowuwei and Dongcheng Bingmasili were immediate and effective. It's not easy. Uncle Wei thought to himself that even if he gets along with you in a different place, he can't do better than you."

"Uncle praised me absurdly, and today His Majesty called my nephew to scold me, saying that I am fooling around."

Lin Ruhai walked back and sat down, and smiled at Lin Yun: "Your Majesty appreciates courtiers who can do things, not officials who have been mediocre all their lives and never made mistakes."

Lin Yunxin said: "It's easy for you to say, if you can do things, you can take the blame. Who knows, one day you will be thrown out by the emperor and be a scapegoat."

He suddenly remembered the battle in the northwest, and asked Lin Ruhai, "Uncle, how is the fight in the northwest going?"

Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "The situation in the northwest is too complicated. Wang Ziteng and the king of Xining County have their own selfish intentions. It is difficult for the two of them to work together as one and fight hand in hand."

Lin Yun asked curiously: "Uncle, I saw Yue Le, the son of King Xining County, and King Ning Jing of Yan getting very close. Could it be that Yue Tai, Prince of Xining County, wants to publicly support King Yan as the crown prince?"

Lin Ruhai asked curiously: "You are very close to the young prince, didn't he tell you that Princess Xining is the queen's biological sister?"

Lin Yun was taken aback when he heard the words. Since Yue Tai belonged to the queen, why did Emperor Zhide send Prince Teng to lead the army to the northwest to support Yue Tai? Isn't this playing with fire?

Just as he was about to ask, Lin Ruhai raised his hand to stop him and said, "You don't need to worry about the frontline war, let me ask you, you have been busy with business recently, have you delayed your schoolwork?"

"Uh~"

Lin Yun was in a daze now, wouldn't Lin Ruhai still want him to take the Jinshi examination?

Seeing his expression, Lin Ruhai knew that Lin Yun must have neglected his studies. He said with a dark face: "Although official duties are very important, studies must not be neglected."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "It's really because I'm too busy with official duties recently that my nephew can't take care of his studies."

"You are so young, what do you want to bring back so many girls? How can a womanizer get ahead."

"Nephew knows his mistake."

...

It snowed all night and continued until the next morning.

After washing up in the morning, Lin Yun led Qin Keqing, Liu Rushi and the two girls' maids to the West Courtyard to greet Jia Min.

At the banquet yesterday, Jia Min formally accepted Liu Rushi as Lin Yun's concubine, and agreed to perform the concubine ceremony three days later.

The three of them came to Jia Min's side, and from a long distance away, they saw several warm sedan chairs on the corridor outside the living room, and there were more than a dozen maids standing outside the gate, presumably they were traveling in a carriage on a snowy day. If it is inconvenient, take a sedan chair instead.
