The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Ping'er hesitated for a moment, but walked out of the bedroom with Lin Yun.

...

Walking out of the bedroom, Lin Yun found that the sky had already darkened.

Ping'er asked the little maid to fetch a lantern and held it in her hand to illuminate Lin Yun.

The two walked silently to Mother Jia's courtyard. Along the way, they met a few maids guarding the gate, and they all consciously greeted Ping'er. Seeing their respect from the bottom of their hearts, they knew that Ping'er's popularity was indeed good. .

Lin Yun suddenly asked, "Sister Ping'er, do you have any other relatives in your family?"

Ping'er said softly: "No, I was sold into the Wang family since I was a child. I have never seen my family again, and I don't know if they are still alive."

Lin Yun: "It just so happens that I don't have an older sister, why don't we recognize a brother and sister?"

"This can't be done. How can a servant girl be worthy of being the sister of the young nephew?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "I'll do it if I say it's okay. Could it be that Sister Ping'er dislikes my bad temper?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I, I~"

Lin Yun continued: "My sister, Heping'er, hit it off right away. I also know that Brother Lian is an unreliable person. Although Sister-in-law Feng trusts you, she will never tolerate you sharing your husband with her. If you are caught between them, you will inevitably suffer a lot of splints in the future. If you have a brother with a bad temper like me, I think their husband and wife will be more or less scrupulous."

"I~"

Ping'er felt her nose was sore and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Everyone in the yard said that she had a good personality and knew how to behave, but no one knew the pain in her heart. Only this young nephew defended her as soon as they met. In order to help her, he even lowered his status and accepted her as a slave. elder sister.

"Master nephew, I~"

"Just call me Brother Yun, I'll call you Sister Ping'er, it's more natural."

"Um,"

Lin Yun: "In the future, if someone makes things difficult for you, you can go to me directly. If I'm not in the capital, you can go to the grandson of Prince Xuan for help, and I will tell him your identity."

"I~"

"Don't worry, this is just planning for the worst. Maybe the two parents-in-law will change in the future."

Ping'er let out a snort, and said with a smile, "How can you say that about others?"

Lin Yun: "It's just a joke, they won't lose a piece of meat."

The two walked and chatted, and unknowingly came to Jiamuyuan.

When passing by Bisha Kitchen, I happened to see Yuanyang leading the little maid out of the house.

Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Sister Yuanyang, you came just in time. The young nephew came to pay respects to the ancestor."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady just finished her meal, let's go there together."

Lin Yun: "Thank you, Sister Yuanyang."

"Nephew and young master, don't do this, you don't dare to be a servant."

...

Guided by mandarin ducks, Lin Yun walked into the flower hall of Rongqing Hall, bowed to Mother Jia who was sitting at the head, and said, "Lin Yun pays respects to our ancestors."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Brother Yun, you don't need to be polite. It's really hard work for you to come here so late."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "The old ancestor said that, didn't he look down on me. Lian's second brother is my elder brother. Since he has something to do, I have to rush over here even in the middle of the night."

Jia Mu said happily, "I love what you say. Brothers should support each other."

"What the ancestors said is that I also believe that if brothers work together, their strength can break gold."

Mother Jia looked at Lin Yun, who was smiling and talking in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. To be honest, she didn't like a child like Lin Yun who was both sincere and scheming.

But she must also admit that such a capable young man is the hope of a family's revival.And their Jia family lacks such a capable junior.

Jia Mu: "I heard that you went to the palace today to meet with the Emperor. Is this true?"

"It is true. I wrote a Pingnan strategy in the academy, and the head of the mountain presented it to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor felt that the strategy had merits, so he summoned me to ask a few words."

Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "Since it is Ping Nan Ce, is it related to the prince of Nan'an County?"

"It has something to do with it, but it's not a big deal. The king of Siam sent an envoy to my Great Chu a few days ago, telling the emperor that Siam was oppressed by Annan, and he wanted to ask my Great Chu to send troops to attack Annan."

"It's just that our country, Chu, has been suffering from constant disasters in recent years, resulting in a shortage of finances and taxes. We don't have the financial resources to supply an army of 10,000+ for the expedition to Annan. For this reason, I suggested to the court in my policy discussion that we formulate~"

Lin Yun was talking eloquently in the flower hall, and Jia's mother listened very carefully, because not only the Jia family's old friend Prince Nan'an was involved in this major event, but also Prince Teng, the commander of the Beijing camp, might also be involved.

Yuanyang and Heping'er stood by and seemed to understand. They didn't even know where Siam and Annan were. They only knew that this matter was very important to the court. It was so important that the emperor wanted to invite Brother Yun. Enter the palace and ask the policy face to face.

Ping'er looked at Lin Yun who spoke freely in front of Jia Mu, and felt inexplicably proud in her heart. Brother Yun just said that he wanted to accept her as his sister. If she had such a powerful brother, she would no longer have to live in fear in the future. .

Yuanyang noticed that Ping'er was looking at Lin Yun attentively, with little stars in his eyes. She was secretly worried in her heart, "Is Ping'er falling in love with Brother Yun? If that's the case, it will be a disaster." . No, I have to remind her later that she is a member of Mr. Lian’s house, and we must not cause the two brothers to break up because of her. This is something that the old lady will never tolerate. "

...

Chapter 92: I don’t want you to be bullied

The original text comes from Ta&Read novels~&

After listening to Lin Yun's introduction, Jia's mother immediately asked with concern: "Brother Yun, in your opinion, if the imperial court sends troops to Siam, should they send troops from Nan'an, or from the Beijing camp?" ?”

Lin Yun knew the answer to this question. Ning Heng had already revealed to him in the morning that this time, five thousand elite soldiers would be drawn from the Beijing camp, led by General Feng Kang, to go to Siam.

It's just that this matter is still kept secret. Ning Heng also overheard it from the secret conversations between his ancestors and his father. Naturally, he couldn't tell the old lady truthfully about it.

Lin Yun: "Reporting to my ancestors, when the emperor summoned me, he didn't mention this matter. I know very little about the military affairs of the court. I can't tell which army the court will send out."

Mother Jia was right when she thought about it, she was also concerned about it, and she became confused, and she regarded Brother Yun as a famous court general who had experienced many battles.

Lin Yun went on to say: "Old ancestor, I think this is a great opportunity to make contributions. I heard that brother Bao's uncle is the commander of the Beijing camp. I wonder if he has the opportunity to lead the army."

Jia's mother's face tightened when she heard the words, Wang Ziteng holds the important position of commander of the Beijing camp.It is also the pillar of balance between the Supreme Emperor and the Son of Heaven.His position is both important and embarrassing.

The important thing is that as long as Wang Ziteng is on the throne for one day, the Jia and Wang families will rest easy.

The embarrassing thing is that if Wang Ziteng stays in the leadership position of the Beijing camp for one more day, the emperor's dissatisfaction with him will deepen. Once Wang Ziteng resigns in the future, the outcome of the Jia and Wang families will only depend on the emperor's mood.

Mother Jia thought for a moment.Then he figured out the meaning of Lin Yun's words. Brother Yun was implying to himself that he took advantage of this opportunity to persuade Wang Ziteng to ask him to lead the army to go to Siam, and to throw away the hot potato of the commander of the Beijing camp in order to gain the favor of the emperor. The approval of Jia and Wang.

After Lin Yun finished speaking, seeing the old lady lost in thought, he knew that she had understood the meaning of his words.

He saluted Jia Mu again and said, "It's getting late. In order to prevent my aunt from worrying at home, my grandson will leave first."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That makes sense. Yuanyang, you send Brother Yun off for me."

"Yes, servants respect your life."

...

After Yuanyang led Lin Yun and Ping'er away, Jia's mother was in a tangle in her heart. At this critical moment, she had no one to discuss with.

Both sons are useless. The daughter is good at giving ideas, but she also has to avoid suspicion, so it is difficult for mother and daughter to get too close.

"How should we decide on this matter? And, even if she gets someone to tell her, will that uncle of the Wang family give up his position of real power as the commander of the Beijing camp and go to Siam to suffer?"

The more Jia Mu thought about it, the less sure she became. From Wang Ziteng's behavior in the past few years, we can see that this man is obsessed with power. There is no way that he will lead an army to Siam on his own initiative.

...

Here, Yuanyang sent Lin Yun and Ping'er out of the yard, and smiled at Lin Yun: "Master nephew, I will send it here, I hope you take care all the way."

"Thank you, Sister Yuanyang."

Yuanyang said to Ping'er again: "Ping'er, go back and accuse the second master for me. It's inconvenient tonight. I'll go see him tomorrow when I have time."

Ping'er said with a smile: "My sister wants to see when the second master can't do it, so there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Yuanyang said meaningfully: "Men and women are different, you should always pay attention to it."

Ping'er's face changed drastically when she heard the words, she is also a thoughtful person, how could she not understand what Yuanyang's words were alluding to.

Before she could figure out how to reply, she heard Lin Yun laughing from the side: "Sister Yuanyang, there is something I forgot to tell you."

Yuanyang asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yun: "My sister Heping'er fell in love at first sight and wanted to recognize her as my adopted sister. She had already promised me before."

"Uh,"

Yuanyang was embarrassed when she heard it. She had misunderstood the co-author. It turned out that Ping'er recognized the nephew and young master as a brother. This is really a joke.

Lin Yun smiled at Ping'er again: "Sister Ping'er, let's talk to Sister Feng again and see if she dares to bully you in the future."

Yuanyang blushed when she heard the words, she glared at Lin Yun in embarrassment, then turned around and walked back with the lantern.

Ping'er was also confused by Lin Yun. This is fine, why did he offend Yuanyang? This is not helping me, he is clearly helping me to attract hatred. "

Lin Yun smiled awkwardly: "I don't want to see her bullying you in front of me."

"She also means well."

Lin Yun said sarcastically: "She is afraid that I will abduct you and cause the second brother Lian and I to turn against each other."

Ping'er flushed with shame when she heard the words, she spat at Lin Yun softly: "Bah! If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you from now on."

After she finished speaking, she was stunned again, "How could I say such flirtatious words in front of Brother Yun?"

Thinking of this, she was no longer embarrassed to look at Lin Yun, and ran forward with the lantern in hand.

Lin Yun said anxiously: "Hey! Don't run away. It's dark, and I don't know the way."

...

After a busy day, when Lin Yun returned to the mansion, it was already dark.

He first went to the back house to greet Jia Min, and by the way, he told the other party the situation of Jia Lian being injured by his father.

After Jia Min heard this, she also sighed. She had heard that Jia She acted absurdly, but she never thought that the elder brother would be so absurd.Rongguo Mansion was ruled by such a person, which made her feel deeply hopeless.

Lin Yun could naturally feel Jia Min's mood, but there was nothing he could do. The two houses of Rong and Ning were like a big ship riddled with holes, sinking silently to the bottom of the sea.

The only thing he can do is to support Jia Lian to become financially independent first, and then get rid of the shackles of his father. It is best to take away part of Jia She's power, so as to prevent the Rongguo Mansion from doing all the bad things and eventually turning against the emperor.

As for the rubbish in Ningguo Mansion, he has nothing to do with him. They do whatever they want, so they don't bother to care about their lives.
