The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Wang Xifeng looked at the shocked Ping'er beside him, and thought to himself: "Brother Yun is really scheming, I was still worrying about this just now, but I didn't expect that he already had a countermeasure."

Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said, "Second Master, I want to send someone to manage the accounts in the shop."

Jia Lian: "That's impossible. We'll be in charge. Brother Yun will naturally send someone to take care of the accounts."

Wang Xifeng said anxiously: "You are stupid, let his people take charge of the accounts, and then he has the final say on how much money he will make in the future."

"You don't have to worry about this. Brother Yun said that I can send someone to check the accounts at any time."

Wang Xifeng: "No, I have to send someone to manage the accounts."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's useless for you to tell me. Brother Yun has the final say on who will manage the accounts. If you are not satisfied, you can go to him to argue."

Wang Xifeng lost her temper now, she knew without thinking that Brother Yun would definitely not agree to her request.

She rolled her eyes and said again: "Since we can't send someone to manage the accounts, I can send someone to check the accounts, right?"

Jia Lian: "It's still the same sentence. It's useless for you to tell me. It's reasonable to talk to Brother Yun."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Did you two collude to come to the lake to tease me?"

"Unreasonable trouble!"

Jia Lian threw the tea cup in his hand on the table, got up and walked out the door.

"Come back, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Wang Xifeng shouted a few words after her, but when she saw Jia Lian walking out of the door without looking back, she had to turn back and complain to Ping'er: "Am I right? With Brother Yun's support, the second master really got it. "

Ping'er persuaded: "Grandma, as long as there is money to earn, why do you bother to send someone to check the accounts? That nephew and young master obviously want to bring the second master to make money together, so how could he cheat him?"

Wang Xifeng said anxiously: "You don't understand, I'm worried that brother Yun will give the second master a separate share of the money. He has money in his hand, so it's better than us."

Ping'er was stunned when he heard that, what Wang Xifeng said was right, with the temperament of the young nephew, he could indeed do such a thing.

After thinking about it, she suggested to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, why don't we invest in the shares?"

"You are stupid, that's seventy-eight thousand taels of silver a year. No, it must be more than that. I guess the annual profit of perfume trading can be tens of thousands of taels."

When Wang Xifeng said this, he looked straight at Ping'er and asked, "You said if our second master had tens of thousands of taels of private money in his hand, what would he do?"

"This~"

Wang Xifeng patted the table, "This black-hearted brother Yun, how many good things have I said for him in front of the old lady, and he treats me like this?"

Ping'er: "Grandma, why did that nephew and young master do this? We didn't offend him, did we?"

Wang Xifeng: "Why else, it must be that our second master told me about my sufferings in front of him, which made him want to fight against injustice."

Ping'er panicked: "What should we do? That young nephew is ruthless in his methods of persecuting people. If he really wants to help the second master, grandma, you will be in trouble."

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and said: "For the time being, he just wants to save face for the second master, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, so let's show weakness in front of the second master first, and wait for Brother Yun to return to Yangzhou next year, and then we will fight with him again." care about."

Ping'er secretly slandered in her heart: "Grandma is so kind and strong, between husband and wife, why bother to fight to win or lose."

Chapter 64: Wronged

Jia Mu dismissed everyone on the pretext of being tired, leaving Jia Min to help her go to the inner room to rest.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Mother Jia took her daughter and sat down on the heated floor, and asked eagerly: "Min'er, how did you convince Prince Xuan to propose marriage to the Qin family on Brother Yun's behalf?"

Jia Min said sadly: "This matter was not done by my daughter, but by Master and Mr. Guo together. I only found out the details last night."

Jia Mu asked suspiciously: "Mr. Guo? Which Mr. Guo is it?"

"Mr. Guo's name is Guo Yuqi, and it was the main hall of the Imperial Hospital during the reign of the Supreme Emperor."

Jia Mu thought for a while and said: "It seems to have some impression, but how did he know about this and why did he help our uncle."

Jia Min explained: "Shenyi Guo is originally from Yangzhou and has a good relationship with Prince Tong Yi Zhong. Moreover, he and the princess are old acquaintances. The princess's orphan was entrusted to him to be entrusted to Lord Qin."

Jia's mother: "So that's how it is. It must be Prince Xuan who came forward to ask for it, right?"

"My mother guessed right, it was he who suggested to the master that Brother Yun should marry that girl."

Jia Mu asked worriedly: "Does Brother Yun know about this?"

"The old miracle doctor told him everything that happened last night. He didn't even hide the girl's identity. The old miracle doctor also told him that if he married that girl, he might not be able to serve as an official for the rest of his life. Brother Yun, listen. Finally, I still agreed to the marriage."

When Jia Min said this, she couldn't help but threw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed silently.

Mother Jia's eyes were also red. She patted her daughter's back and said, "That child is indeed a responsible person. I don't expect you to hurt him."

Jia Min wept and said: "I originally wanted to take Brother Yun as my stepson, let him study hard, and make a difference in his official career in the future, so that I can take good care of my Yu'er, but now~"

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Jia Mu comforted her and said, "Min'er, if you can't bear it, let's find another way."

"Mother, my daughter has arranged for someone to go to the Qin family to propose marriage."

Jia's mother was shocked when she heard this, and then sighed: "If your two brothers had half the courage of Min'er, mother wouldn't have to worry about it anymore."

Jia Min looked up at Jia's mother and said, "Mother, after Brother Yun's marriage is settled, my daughter will not be able to visit you in the mansion often, so please take care of yourself, mother."

Mother Jia raised her hand to wipe away her daughter's tears, and said sadly, "A family like ours seems to be very beautiful, but who knows the suffering inside. Min'er, when you return to Yangzhou, remember to thank uncle for me. "

Jia Min: "Mother, don't do this, these are what the master should do."

Jia's mother shook her head and said, "Min'er, mother knows my uncle's difficulty. If he asked Yun Ge'er to marry that girl, it may be difficult for him to get the emperor's favor in the future, and his official career will be much more difficult. You tell him for me, let He has to be careful."

"My daughter understands."

Mother Jia stood up and said, "Let's go, you can go with mother to pick out some presents, it's my congratulatory gift for Brother Yun and that girl's engagement."

"My daughter thanked her mother for Brother Yun."

"I should be the one thanking him."

"Mother said that, didn't she kill Brother Yun?"

"Stop talking, let's go pick out gifts with mother."

"Ok."

...

When Lin Yun saw Ning Heng again, it was in his room. The boy was sitting alone on the edge of the Kang, wiping a sword with cotton cloth.

Seeing Lin Yun walking in from the door, Ning Heng suddenly stood up, raised his sword and stabbed Lin Yun in the chest.

With the experience of being attacked by the old prince last time, Lin Yun reacted very quickly this time. He stepped quickly, let the tip of the sword pass, and quickly grabbed Ning Heng's wrist with his right hand.

Perhaps because of his long illness, Ning Heng's movements were much slower, so Lin Yun easily grabbed his wrist and snatched the sword away.

Ning Heng coughed several times because of his violent movements, he picked up the teacup from the kang table, drank a few sips of water, then picked up the scabbard on the table, handed it to Lin Yun and said, "This sword is for you. "

Lin Yun took the scabbard, inserted the sword into the scabbard, and handed it back to Ning Heng. He said with a look of disgust: "Nowadays, we all use firecrackers in battle, who would use a sword?"

Ning Heng sat down on the kang and said: "You are not right. Although the firecracker has a large area of ​​damage, its accuracy is poor and its power is weak. In addition, fighting in rainy weather is very restricted, so it can only be regarded as a weapon in the battlefield. As an auxiliary arm."

Lin Yun sat down opposite Ning Heng and asked him, "Have you ever been on a battlefield?"

Ning Heng shook his head and said, "No, I heard what my father said."

"The firecrackers have shortcomings, and craftsmen can try to correct them. I think the future battlefield will be dominated by firecrackers."

Ning Heng: "If you like firecrackers, I'll give you one another day."

"No, I have a new type of gun, or a short-handled gun."

Ning Heng said in surprise: "That thing is not easy to get. I heard that it costs several hundred taels of silver to buy one."

"I didn't buy that one, it was seized from an assassin."

Ning Heng remembered it and said, "I heard that you fought against assassins. I didn't believe it at first. I just tried it and your skills are indeed good."

After a pause, Ning Heng said again: "It's not much worse than me."

"Little Hengzi. I handed over your sword just now, so I should be stronger than you."

"Nonsense, it's me, cough cough cough~"

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "Don't get excited, just think you are awesome."

"Obviously I'm the one who is the best. When my illness is cured, we will compete again."

"Then you should compare yourself with others. I came here today to say goodbye to you. Tomorrow I will go to Yichen Academy to study."

"Yichen Academy? What's the point of staying in that crappy place?"

"No way, my uncle asked me to go."

"Well, then when I recover, I will go to the academy to study for a few days."

Lin Yun picked up a pastry from the food box.While eating, he said, "I heard that Yichen Academy seems to accept only civilians, so you probably won't be able to get in."

Ning Heng: "You must have been deceived. Although Yichen Academy accepts mostly civilians, there are also several concubines from courtiers' families studying in the academy. For example, Ning Yue, the second eldest son of Prince Zhongshun, was admitted to the academy. .”

"Little Hengzi, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"What did I lie to you for? My ancestors wanted me to study in the academy before, but I thought studying was too boring, so I didn't go."

"According to what you said, is it possible that you are fully sure that you can be admitted to Yichen Academy?"

Ning Heng smiled proudly: "Shanchang Lu is a good friend of my ancestor, as long as I want to go in, I just ask my ancestor to tell him."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked, "No exam?"

Ning Heng asked back: "Have you passed the exam?"

"Uh, it seems that I was admitted by Master Lu without taking the exam."

"That's alright, you don't have to take the exam, so why should I take the exam?"

"Well, Lin Yun has to admit that Prince Xuan must have more face than Lin Ruhai. It shouldn't be difficult for this kid to enter the academy."
