The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Prince Xuan left.

Queen Zhang sent him to the end of the corridor, then stopped and watched as Prince Xuan's figure disappeared into the snowflakes.

Chapter 78: Hugh Bath

Just as Emperor Zhide expected, Lin Yun's life in the academy was miserable.

Not to mention reading and writing, the key is that he was punished to shovel snow and clean the toilets in heavy snow days, which made him so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

After five days, when it was finally time to rest and take a bath, all the scholars, like fugitives, ran out of the academy without looking back.

The old genius doctor stayed in the academy because he wanted to treat Lu Xingzhi.Lin Yun suspected that he was worried that he would settle accounts with him when he went back, so he hid in the academy to enjoy leisure.

...

After leaving the academy, everyone went down the hillside to look for the carriage that came to pick them up.

Qin Xiaoting's family conditions are very good, and he has his own carriage to meet him.Although Ding Yuannan had no one to pick him up, he and Qin Xiaoting were on the same road, and they could go back to the city together in his carriage.

After sending the two away, Lin Yun was about to board his carriage when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Classmate Lin."

Lin Yun looked back, and it turned out that it was Ning Yue leading a young man riding on a horse to greet him.

Lin Yun cupped his hands in return and said, "Brother Ning, why haven't you left yet?"

Ning Yue: "Classmate Lin, can I call you Brother Yun like them?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Of course."

Ning Yue said happily: "In this case, we will treat each other as brothers from now on."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Then I'm going to climb high."

Ning Yue was startled when he heard this, he hesitated and said, "Do you know my identity?"

"I heard Xiao Hengzi talk about your situation, but not many."

Ning Yue nodded, and then said, "I'll treat you to a drink another day."

After saying that, he clapped his horse and walked away without waiting for Lin Yun's reply.

"What a freak."

Lin Yundi muttered, and got into the carriage. While changing his shoes, he grabbed the pastry brought by Xiao Mo and kept stuffing it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhong Yi joked: "Sir, why do you look so hungry?"

Lin Yun swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and said: "I just can't get enough to eat, the academy can only eat two meals a day, and there is no pastry to satisfy my hunger, do you think it is uncomfortable?"

Xiao Mo: "Isn't the old genius doctor in the academy, why don't you ask him to get something to eat?"

"Don't mention it, the old man didn't recognize his relatives when he entered the academy. I can see through him. That one is a white-eyed wolf. Fortunately, I used to provide him with good food and drink in the mansion."

Xiao Mo: "No way, the old genius doctor is quite good."

"What a fart!"

Lin Yun grabbed another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Mo suddenly remembered and said, "Third Master, Brother Yang Yuan came to the capital a few days ago, stayed in the mansion for one night, and then left again."

"Well, why did he come to the capital?"

"I heard that the perfume sales in Yangzhou are very booming. The perfume workshop managed by my brother has produced the first batch of perfume. It happened that Master Lin sent a messenger to deliver a letter to his wife, so my brother asked Yang Yuan to escort a batch of perfume with the messenger. , so that you can promote perfume here in the capital."

Lin Yun asked in surprise, "Where did the workshop over there buy the materials for making perfume?"

"I heard that the inventory saved by other spice shops has been resold to us."

After a pause, Xiao Mo said again: "The Second Master Lian of Rongguo Mansion has visited the mansion once, and I heard that he has already selected the location of the perfume shop, and I will wait for you to go back to make up your mind."

Lin Yun nodded, and then asked, "Is there nothing going on in the mansion recently?"

"That Dong Shen came here once to thank you. I heard that he has been promoted."

"Is he promoted to the deputy general of the special department under the Governor of Water Transport to investigate the illegal salt dealers?"

"It seems so. He said that when you return to Yangzhou next time, please go to Meixianglou for a drink."

After a pause, Xiao Mo continued: "A few days ago, the Princess of Beijing came to our house to visit my wife. It is said that she and my wife were not happy. I don't know whether this is true or not."

Lin Yun was not interested in Princess Beijing. Since she came from the Zhen family, she would probably not end well in the end. He wished that Jia Min could fall out with her as soon as possible to avoid being implicated by the Zhen family in the future.

He asked Xiao Mo, "Sister Yu'er, is everything okay?"

Xiao Mo: "It's snowing heavily. My wife has been keeping her in the house for the past few days and won't let her go out."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "I think she must be locked up urgently?"

"Isn't it? I heard from Xueyan that the girl is looking forward to the third master returning home early every day."

"It's useless for me to come back. It's so cold, I don't dare to let her run around outside. It's not fun to be sick from the cold."

...

Lin's house,

Daiyu sat alone on the warm kang, facing the Go board in front of her, doing life and death problems boringly.

Because the weather was too cold, she was banned by Jia Min, and she was not allowed to go out for no reason.

The little girl was holding a chess piece, and when she was about to drop it on the chessboard, she suddenly saw Xueyan rushing in through the curtain, and smiled at her: "Miss, the third master has returned home."

"really?"

Daiyu raised her head in surprise, and looked excitedly at the snow geese standing in front of her.

Xueyan: "Your maidservant heard from the woman outside that the third master just went to his wife's room."

Daiyu hurriedly got down from the warm kang, and shouted outside: "Zijuan, Furong, quickly bring my cloak in."

Zijuan ran in after hearing the sound, and persuaded Daiyu: "It's so cold, girl can't go out."

Daiyu said anxiously: "Brother is back, I'm going to play with him."

Zijuan: "Since the third master is back, he will come to see the girl soon, why should the girl rush to see him?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "I have been detained in the house for several days, can I go out to get some air now?"

Zijuan wanted to persuade her again, but she saw Furong walking in with a red cloak and said with a smile: "Sister Zijuan, it must be okay for the girl to wear more clothes."

Zijuan said angrily: "You are used to being a good person, if the girl is cold and sick, let's see if my wife will kick you out of the house."

Fu Rong put on the cloak for Daiyu, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, the third master is here, our third master can even cure lung disease."

Daiyu put on her cloak and put on her small boots, and then she was about to go out the door.

Zijuan hurriedly took the hand warmer from the kang, put it on her and said: "If you feel sorry for your servants, you should pay more attention. Although the third master has medicine that can cure lung disease, it is the girl who suffers from frostbite."

"I know, you are so verbose."

Daiyu took the hand warmer with disgust on her face, hugged it in her arms and walked out the door.

Fu Rong and Xue Yan hurriedly followed, and Zi Juan warned from behind: "Fu Rong, Xue Yan, take care of the girl, be careful of her falling."

Furong: "You can rest assured."

...

When the three girls came to Jia Min's side, they could feel the lively atmosphere in the house from a long distance away.

Walking into the room, I saw Jia Min sitting on the warm kang, and a group of maids and women standing on both sides, all listening attentively to Lin Yun's story about the interesting things that happened in the academy.

Seeing Daiyu coming in, Jia Min smiled at her and said, "Yu'er, I knew you couldn't wait, come and see your brother."

Daiyu stepped forward and saluted Lin Yun who was sitting on the heated kang, "Yu'er pays respects to elder brother."

Lin Yun stood up and saluted, then asked with a smile, "Is my sister okay?"

"It's okay, thank you brother for caring."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she secretly winked at Lin Yun, signaling him to say goodbye to her mother quickly so that she could take her back to play.

Seeing this, Jia Min smiled and said: "I'm tired too, Brother Yun, you can take Yu'er back to the house to talk."

"Ok."

Lin Yun responded, and led Daiyu to the outside of the house.

Jia Min suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Yun, tomorrow is your sister Xiangyun's uncle's birthday, you can go to Baolinghou Mansion for your aunt."

"My nephew respects my life."

Just as Lin Yun finished speaking, he saw Daiyu blinking at him vigorously, and he smiled at Jia Min understandingly: "Auntie, why don't you let your nephew take sister Yu'er with you."

Jia Min said with a dark face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you bring your sister with you to celebrate your birthday?"

Lin Yun smiled wryly at Daiyu, and said to himself, it's not that I don't help you, it's really against the rules.

Daiyu immediately pursed her lips, and looked at Lin Yun with a depressed face, as if she was complaining that he didn't try her best to persuade Jia Min.

"Let's do this. When we meet Sister Xiangyun's uncle and aunt tomorrow, I'll ask them to send Sister Xiangyun over as a guest. What do you think?"

Daiyu said happily: "Can it be done?"

"I'll do my best."

...

Back in his room, the parrot had already prepared all the food. Lin Yun immediately picked up the kuaizi and ate it hungrily.

Several little girls looked at him eating with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a death row prisoner.

Daiyu looked disgusted and said: "Brother, how many days have you not eaten?"

Lin Yun said while eating: "You don't know, there are only two meals a day in the academy, and after eating, you have to be hungry until the next meal. We are all used to it, and we are free to eat when the meal is open, try to eat as much as possible."

Xue Yan: "Third Master, you can ask Brother Zhong Yi to secretly send you some food."
