The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Jia Zheng: "Next time if you have anything, you can ask Lian'er to tell me. There's no need to use those tricks."

"Thank you, Uncle, for your advice, Ruoyu will remember it."

After Jia Lian saluted Lin Ruhai, Jia Zheng said to him, "Lian'er, take Ruoyu and your aunt to see the old lady."

"My nephew respects my life."

...

From the middle gate to Jiamu Courtyard, you must first pass through Rongxi Hall.

This time Mrs. Wang did not pretend to be sick. She led Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng to greet her at the courtyard gate.

Jia Min led Qin Keqing to meet them, everyone greeted each other, the atmosphere was lively, and it was not at all obvious that they were fighting like black-eyed chickens before.

After the greetings, everyone surrounded Jia Min and Mrs. Wang and went to Jia's mother's courtyard together.

Once here, the atmosphere is even more lively.

Jia Mu sat at the head of the flower hall, surrounded by female relatives who came to celebrate her birthday.Among them, Lin Yun only recognized Mrs. Bowling Hou, Mrs. Yang.

Jia Min led Qin Keqing forward to salute Jia's mother. The old lady quickly stood up, took Qin Keqing's hand and said with a smile, "I've long heard that Brother Yun's daughter-in-law is a very good one. When I see her today, she really looks like this." No one can beat it."

Qin Keqing happily said: "Thank you for the compliment, old ancestor."

Several female relatives sitting next to her echoed the old lady's words one after another, praising Qin Keqing's iconic looks.

Lin Yun was amazed when he heard this, he even painted Qin Keqing like that, why did the old lady still speak so exaggeratedly.

But when he took a closer look at Qin Keqing's face, he was stunned. The heroic eyebrows he had painted for Qin Keqing had turned into slender willow eyebrows.Without thinking, he could guess that this must be Jia Min's handiwork.

After everyone finished boasting, Lin Yun stepped forward and saluted Jiamu: "Ancestor, Keqing is weak and pregnant, and it is not easy to stand for a long time. Please forgive me and allow her to go to Sister-in-law Feng's room." have a break."

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Unexpectedly, brother Yun is still a dear wife. Hurry up tomorrow, and you will teach your second brother Lian to learn from you."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "If our second master can learn half of Brother Yun, I will be satisfied."

Jia Min: "Lian'er is reliable and diligent. She is also very good."

Mother Jia nodded and said, "What Min'er said is that Lian'er has indeed improved a lot in the past two years, and it's all thanks to Brother Yun."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "The old lady is too good."

Jia Mu said to Wang Xifeng, "Brother Feng, you can take Brother Yun's daughter-in-law to your room to rest, instead of standing here."

Qin Keqing said hurriedly: "Thank you, ancestor."

Wang Xifeng: "Ancestor, let's go there first."

"Go."

...

Baoyu was entertaining the nephews of the four kings and eight princes who came to celebrate the old lady's birthday. He heard the young man say that his aunt and family were coming, so he hurried over to meet them.

When Baoyu arrived at the flower hall, he happened to see Li Wan, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and Sanchun sisters standing around Sister Feng, Lin Yun and Qin Keqing, talking and laughing.

When Baoyu saw Qin Keqing, he was stunned as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, Lin Yun reprimanded: "Brother Bao, don't you know how to salute when you see your sister-in-law?"

Baoyu hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Baoyu pays homage to Sister-in-law Yun."

Qin Keqing bowed and returned the greeting: "Brother Bao, there is no need to be polite."

Lin Yun stepped forward to hold Qin Keqing's hand, and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Let's go to Sister-in-law Feng's place to rest."

Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Yun smiled at several girls and said, "When Yu'er celebrates her birthday, I'll invite you over as guests."

Several girls responded in unison: "Thank you, Brother Lin."

...

After Lin Yun accompanied Qin Keqing to leave, Tan Chun smiled at everyone: "Sister Bao is right, Sister Lin is so pretty."

Xichun: "Yes, brother Lin and sister-in-law Lin are like a match made in heaven, they are a perfect match."

Baoyu said in a sour tone: "Brother Lin also has a concubine who is an oiran in the house."

Daiyu was dissatisfied and said: "My elder brother only has one servant girl in his room, but there are more than a dozen servant girls hidden in your bisha kitchen."

Baoyu said aggrievedly: "Those are maidservants, not my concubines."

Daiyu: "Isn't it the same? Are you willing to let them all out?"

"This~"

Baoyu stammered immediately. He thought there were too few maids in his house, so he couldn't bear to let them out.

...

Here, Lin Yun accompanied Qin Keqing to Wang Xifeng's room, but he didn't see Jia Lian. The little maid in the room told him that Jia Lian had gone out to take care of the guests and asked him to go to drink too.

Lin Yun naturally didn't want to go, he led people to arrest almost all the sons of princes, and even if he went, he would be blindsided, so he might as well stay here to chat with his wife.

Wang Xifeng pulled Qin Keqing to sit on the kang, and smiled at Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, you should leave quickly, Keqing will be taken care of by me, Heping'er, and I promise not to wrong her."

Qin Keqing: "Husband, hurry up, there is my second sister-in-law and sister-in-law Ping'er here, and I'm fine as a concubine."

Lin Yun: "I won't go, there's no good wine for wine, no good banquet, why should I go?"

Wang Xifeng: "You stay here, the two of us can't lie down for a while, why bother?"

Lin Yun was right when he thought about it. It was really inappropriate for him to sit here as a big man.

He quickly stood up and said, "Then you guys have a good rest, I'll go outside for a walk first."

"Go."

Chapter 255: A pair of counselors

There are several banquet halls in the Rongguo Mansion, some of which are used to entertain the female family members, such as the flower hall in Jia Mu's yard, where you can gather to chat or entertain the female family members for a banquet.

The largest banquet hall outside is just in front of Rongxi Hall, not far from Jia Zheng's Mengpozhai, and it is specially used for large-scale banquets.

Lin Yun followed Jia Lian's servant, Zhao'er, into the banquet hall, and saw four banquet tables with dozens of guests seated in the hall.

As soon as Lin Yun entered the hall, the noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Jia Lian, who was sitting at the main table, hurriedly stood up, waved at Lin Yun and said with a smile, "Brother Yun, come and sit here."

Xue Pan also stood up and shouted at him, "Brother Lin, come and sit by my side."

Seeing Jia Lian sitting with Shi Heng and Shi Shen, Lin Yun smiled at him and said, "Second Brother Lian, Brother Xue and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's sit by his side."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Alright."

Lin Yun walked up to Xue Pan and sat down, and glanced at the guests at this table, which made him very depressed.Because there are several acquaintances sitting at this table, they are Jia Rong, Ma Rui, Chen Pengguang, and Qi Shaoxuan.

Xue Pan introduced to Lin Yun: "Brother Lin, you all know Jia Rong, Ma Rui, Peng Guang, and Shao Xuan. The remaining two are Jia Qin and Lai Shangrong."

When Lin Yun heard the names of Jia Qin and Lai Shangrong, he immediately looked at them.

Jia Qin was a thin, fair-faced boy. He looked at Lin Yun and said with a sneer, "I heard from Brother Rong that my aunt's nephew and young master are cruel. When I saw her today, it really wasn't a good face."

Xue Pan hurriedly persuaded: "Jia Qin, Brother Lin, the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division, maintaining order is his duty, so don't complain."

Jia Qin: "Fart! What's wrong with going to a temple to see a nun? It's not like rushing home."

Xue Pan said angrily: "Jia Qin, who do you think farts?"

"I'll just say you, okay?"

"You want to be beaten, right?"

Xue Pan stood up, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to make a move.

Jia Rong hurriedly persuaded: "Today is the old lady's birthday, everyone, don't mess around."

Lin Yun stretched out his hand to hold Xue Pan down and smiled at him: "Brother Rong is right, today is the old lady's birthday, we can't cause trouble."

After a pause, he smiled at Jia Qin again: "Your name is Jia Qin, right? I remember you. When I have free time, I will send someone to give you a big gift."

Jia Qin said contemptuously: "Who wants your gift?"

Lin Yun said in his heart: "Such an idiot, it's really not worth doing it yourself."

Ma Rui sneered at Lin Yun: "Lin Yun, I heard that your food expenses were canceled by His Majesty. Should we return the money owed to us?"

Lin Yun: "Yes, anyone who wants money can go to Dongcheng Bingmasi to find me, and I will definitely treat him well."

"Just go, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

Lin Yun turned to Chen Pengguang, Qi Shaoxuan and the two of them, and asked coldly, "You two also want to get your money back?"

Qi Shaoxuan puffed up his chest and said, "It's our money, why don't you want it?"

Xue Pan: "Isn't it just 100 taels of silver? You guys are ashamed to go back."

Chen Pengguang: "I don't want it anymore, just treat it as a gambling loss."

Lin Yun turned to Jia Rong again and asked with a smile, "Brother Rong, do you want it?"

Jia Rong felt guilty after seeing him. He had heard Xue Pan say that Lin Yun, a man who had killed a thousand swordsmen, dared to catch and beat Prince Zhongshun, so he had better not provoke him.

After thinking it over clearly, he shook his head and said, "It's only 100 taels of silver, so I don't want it either."

Jia Qin said anxiously: "Brother Rong, that's 100 taels of silver, why don't you want it?"

At this time, Jia Lian saw that the atmosphere here was not right, and came over with a wine glass and asked with a smile: "Brother Yun, what are you talking about?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Brother Qin is encouraging Brother Rong and the others to challenge me."

Jia Lian's face turned dark when he heard this, and he scolded Jia Qin: "What are you, worthy of provoking Brother Yun?"

"I~"

Jia Qin's face turned red and pale after being scolded by Jia Lian. He wanted to retort, but he was afraid of Jia Lian's power and did not dare to really reply.
