The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Not long after, Zhong Yi and Hu Baihu walked over together.

Zhong Yi looked at Lin Yun and asked, "Master, are you injured?"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, did the assassin catch it?"

Hu Baihu: "There are five assassins in total, four men and one woman. They are all dead."

"All dead?"

Hu Xiangyi: "Three of them were killed by Brother Zhong, and the other two were surrounded by soldiers. They knew they couldn't escape, so they took poison and committed suicide."

Lin Yun cursed inwardly after hearing the words: "These people are really desperadoes. They know that they must die, but they want to fly moths to the flames, and they don't know who is behind the scenes."

Hu Baihu handed a short musket in his hand to Lin Yundao: "Mr. Lin, it was the female assassin performing bowl kicking who shot you with this short gun."

"Oh,"

Lin Yun took the short handle and looked at it carefully. It was a handgun made of pure copper, about [-] to [-] centimeters long, with exquisite workmanship. It looked like a firearm bought from Xiyang.

Seeing that Lin Yun liked the gun very much, Hu Baihu suggested, "Mr. Lin lacks self-defense, so I will give you the gun."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Seeing that Lin Yun really accepted the gift, Hu Baihu secretly rejoiced in his heart. This is the nephew of Mr. Lin, the Imperial Envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Inspection. If he can get along well with him, he might be able to hug Lin Ruhai's thigh and be promoted. Getting rich is just around the corner.

At this time, Dr. Guo rushed over in a carriage. Seeing that Lin Yunzhen was injured, he hurriedly asked him to get in the car and treat his wound.

Daiyu was worried about Lin Yun's injury, so she also boarded the carriage.

...

In the carriage, Old Man Guo looked at the wound on Lin Yun's back shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy Yun, I will help you treat the injury this time, but remember to deduct 20 taels of silver."

Lin Yun said dissatisfiedly: "It's all because of you, crow's mouth. I've always been safe and sound, but just because you cursed me that day, I'm now hurt immediately."

Doctor Guo: "It's your bad luck, it's none of my business."

Daiyu asked anxiously from the side: "Old genius doctor, is my brother's injury all right?"

Doctor Guo: "It's okay, I just got bitten by two small bullets, apply the wound medicine made by the old man, and it will be cured in ten days."

Lin Yun said contemptuously: "Bragging! It will take half a month at the fastest for the wound to heal. Do you think I don't understand this?"

Divine Doctor Guo was unconvinced and said: "The medicine you are talking about is an ordinary wound medicine. This special wound medicine I have is very expensive. It costs five taels of silver to buy a pair of medicine."

"You might as well go and rob it, and pay five taels of silver for a pair. I don't think one tael is worth it."

"Boy, your perfume can sell for ten taels a bottle, but mine is a life-saving medicine, why can't it be sold for five taels of silver?"

"Things are rare and expensive, don't you understand?"

"This wound medicine I have is also a rare item. No one else can buy it."

"It's a liar, ouch!"

Daiyu was just thinking that the bickering between the two was very amusing, when she heard Lin Yun's mouth cry out in pain, she hurriedly asked with concern: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Lin Yun: "The old man poked my wound deliberately with his finger just now."

When Daiyu heard this, she immediately looked at old man Guo with resentful eyes.

Doctor Guo hurriedly said: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, there is no way you will not touch the wound when you clean it."

Daiyu: "Then take it easy."

"If you tell him to shut up, the old man will deal with it lightly."

...

Just as Divine Doctor Guo was helping Lin Yun treat his wounds, Qian Cong brought someone over and said to Lin Yun: "Young nephew, my wife wants you to go back quickly."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Does aunt know that I am injured?"

Qian Cong: "That's not the case. Mr. Jia met an old friend in the restaurant. I heard that he has something to do with Rongguo Mansion. My wife asked you to go back and receive him."

Daiyu asked curiously: "Since someone from the mansion over there is here, why doesn't mother receive her herself?"

Qian Cong said with a smile: "That man is just a relative of a servant in Jia's house. How can my wife receive him in person? If she does, it will insult our wife's status and make people laugh."

When Lin Yun heard this, his heart moved. Could it be that that person is Leng Zixing?

...

Chapter 27: Leng Zixing

Lin Yun first sent Daiyu and Zijuan back to the boat, and then went to the boat in Jiayu Village to meet the guests.

When I walked into the cabin, I saw Jia Yucun sitting inside drinking tea with a middle-aged man.

He hurried forward to greet them, and after he saluted, Jia Yucun asked with concern about how they were attacked on the street, and he was relieved when he learned that his injuries were not serious.

Then, he pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced to Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, this is a good friend I met when I was in Kyoto, named Leng Zixing."

Lin Yun cupped his hands and smiled at the other party: "Since he is a good friend of the master, he is not an outsider. This junior has met Mr. Leng!"

Leng Zixing hurriedly cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile: "Master nephew, don't do that, I'm just a merchant, how dare I call him a gentleman.

Lin Yun: "To be valued by Mr. Shi Fei, there must be something special about him. Besides, I am also very interested in business affairs."

Jia Yucun introduced to Leng Zixing: "Brother Yun is not only good at reading, but also very good at business. I heard that the perfume sold in their spice shop is very popular with women."

Lin Yun said in surprise: "Sir, do you also know about the perfume I made?"

Jia Yucun laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to complain to you. We have been together for so long, and you didn't say you gave me a box of perfume."

Lin Yun said awkwardly: "I was worried that my husband would scold me if he knew about it, so I didn't mention it to you. Since you already know about it, I will have someone send you a box when I get back."

"Thank you!"

Jia Yucun said politely, then smiled at Lin Yun and said, "It's luck. I was having a drink in the tavern earlier, and I happened to meet Brother Leng. He was fine, so I invited him over."

Lin Yun saw that Jia Yucun didn't mention the relationship between Leng Zixing and Jia's mansion, so he didn't ask any more. Instead, he asked Leng Zixing, "I don't know where you want to do business, sir?"

Leng Zixing: "I want to go to Jinling to buy a batch of goods. I heard Brother Jia said that my aunt is resting here, so I followed to say hello."

When Lin Yun saw the other party talking about Jia Min, he smiled and asked, "My aunt got sick a few days ago. Does the old lady in the mansion over there know about this?"

Leng Zixing smiled awkwardly: "Master nephew was joking, how can I know what's going on in the mansion over there."

Jia Yucun interjected: "The two places are far apart. I guess Rongguo Mansion has just received the news and will send someone over soon."

Lin Yun smiled slightly after hearing this, and then asked Leng Zixing, "Mr. Leng, who do you think the mansion will send over there to visit?"

"This~"

Leng Zixing was speechless when asked by Lin Yun. Based on his understanding of Jia's family, he would probably only send a few servants here, but he couldn't say this clearly. It would be too embarrassing to say it.

At this moment, Shiliu hurried in and said to Lin Yun: "Master nephew, my wife heard that you were injured, so I want you to go over and answer."

Lin Yun hurriedly stood up, bid farewell to the two of them, and walked away quickly with Shiliu.

After Lin Yun left, Leng Zi happily rushed to Jia Yucun and said with a smile: "This young nephew seems to have some complaints about the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Yucun: "Brother Yun is very smart. The Jia family has not sent anyone here so far. It would be strange if he has no objection."

Leng Zixing smiled wryly and said: "The mansion over there is full of rich and idle people, few of them can do anything. In addition, the capital city is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, and it is winter now, naturally no master is willing to come here."

: "It is said that the rich can't last three generations, this is really true."

"It's true that you can't be rich for three generations."

Jia Yucun suddenly raised his hand and pointed upwards, "However, with this aunt here, the Jia family may still have a chance to recover."

"I find it difficult."

"Oh?"

...

Jia Min's warehouse is on the top floor, and Lin Yun follows Shiliu to see Jia Min.As expected, Jia Min was in the bedroom listening to her daughter tell her about the attack on the street.

Seeing Lin Yun come in from outside the warehouse, Daiyu stopped talking and leaned beside her mother, waiting for Lin Yun to come forward and give Jia Min a gift.

Just as Lin Yun was about to go forward to salute, Jia Min said, "Since you are injured, don't make any more salutes, so as not to implicate the wound."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "My little injury is nothing serious. The old genius doctor said it will heal in a few days."

Jia Min scolded: "You child, how can you be careless when you are injured? You should stop running around these few days, and don't write articles for the time being. I will explain it to Mr. Jia for you."

Lin Yun said happily: "Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Jia Min said again: "Brother Yun, do you think those assassins came after Yu'er?"

Lin Yun thought for a while and then said truthfully: "They probably want to do harm to you, aunt. It's just that you didn't get off the boat to play today, so they would attack my sister."

"How can these damned salt merchants be so bold? Aren't they afraid of being ordered by the emperor to confiscate their families and exterminate their families?"

Lin Yunxin said: "Since those salt merchants are on the list of the emperor, even if they don't do anything, they will end up copying their families and exterminating their families sooner or later."

Jia Min said again: "Since the road is not safe, you should stop running around outside in the future."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what to do."

Jia Min nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Lin Yun, "Have you seen that Leng family?"

"I've seen it."

"What are you talking about?"

"He refused to reveal his identity, and the nephew was too embarrassed to ask in detail. I just asked him if the old lady knew that my aunt was sick? Did the government over there send someone to visit my aunt?"

"How did he answer?"

"Deduce that I don't know."

Jia Min smiled contemptuously and said, "He's just the son-in-law of the maid next to my sister-in-law, so it's possible that he doesn't know the inside story."

Lin Yun added: "My nephew just asked one more question, if the mansion over there finds out that my aunt is ill, who will they send to visit?"
