The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Qin Keqing hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, "Hello, sister Yu'er."

After the two women saluted, they looked up at each other, and then smiled at each other.

Seeing Lin Yun next to him, he felt as if in a dream, "The three beauties of the Red Chamber have gathered together, but I don't know where that sister Bao is now."

...

Here, Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, first sent Jia Lan to Li Wan, and then returned to his small courtyard.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Wang Xifeng and Ping'er sitting on the kang chatting.No need to think about it, he also knew that these two aunts must be waiting for him.

When Ping'er saw Jia Lian coming in, she stood up quickly, gave her seat to Jia Lian, left silently, and walked out the door.

Jia Lian opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Ping'er, but he didn't know what to say.

Ping'er walked outside the door and let out a soft sigh of relief.The atmosphere in the room was too depressing, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Originally between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, although her position was awkward, she could handle it with ease.

But the last time I heard Wang Xifeng say that Lin Yun might have taken a fancy to her, this matter became a heart disease for her. Afterwards, when she faced Jia Lian, she would feel guilty and always wanted to run away, obviously she hadn't done anything, now But it seems that he has done something wrong, and it is difficult to deal with himself.

In short, there is no going back.

...

Inside the room, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian, "Has the Second Master seen Brother Yun?"

Jia Lian sat down opposite Wang Xifeng, nodded and said, "I see, after discussing with Brother Yun, we decided that the perfume shop will open in three days."

Wang Xifeng: "Then did you tell Brother Yun about asking Ping'er to sit in the shop?"

Jia Lian: "I didn't say anything. There are too many people today. It's inconvenient to talk about it."

Wang Xifeng: "There are so many people? Who else is with you?"

"It's Sister Yu'er, and a few little maids came out to play with her."

Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "How is this possible? How could Aunt let Sister Lin go out with you?"

Jia Lian: "Don't say it's you, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

After a pause, Jia Lian took out a piece of paper from his bosom, handed it to Wang Xifeng, and said, "This is a couplet written by Brother Yun in the shop today. He offered 100 taels of silver for the second couplet. You can take it later." Show it to Brother Bao and ask him if he can continue this couplet."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked: "What does this couplet have to do with opening a shop?"

"Brother Yun asked Jia Yun to post this outside the shop. It is very difficult to continue this couplet. As long as everyone can't get it right, more and more literati will pay attention to this matter, and the perfume shop can also take the opportunity to make a name for itself."

"Is it as amazing as he said?"

"Ask Baoyu, if he can't continue, it must be really difficult."

"Then I'll go to Brother Bao and see if he can match up."

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she signed the paper and went out to the place where Baoyu lived.

When she walked outside the door, she saw that Ping'er hadn't left.

She was about to ask, but Ping'er took the initiative to say: "Grandma, I want to see him."

Wang Xifeng was slightly taken aback, and said, "Ping'er, what exactly do you want to say?"

Ping'er: "I want to ask him why he wants to kill me?"

Wang Xifeng: "Don't think about it, even if I have a lot of opinions on him, I won't think that he wants to harm you."

Ping'er: "But after being teased by him like this, I don't know how to face grandma and second master now. What do you think I should do now?"

Wang Xifeng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "You allow me a few more days, and when I'm free, I'll talk to Brother Yun about you."

"Grandma, I want to talk to him myself."

Wang Xifeng: "Well, I'll find a reason to go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow, so you can come with me."

Ping'er said gratefully, "Thank you grandma."

Chapter 1: Express Your Heart

As soon as the Shanghai couplet written by Lin Yun was published, it immediately attracted the attention of literati.Although a few people continued to publish the second couplet, they were all made up of words, and the old master invited by Jia Yun dismissed them one by one.

No one can continue the couplet perfectly, Yipinxiang is famous far and wide.On the first day of opening, the total sales of perfume and fragrant soap exceeded 1000 taels of silver.

This is still an achievement achieved under the condition that the sale of high-end perfumes is restricted. If the sale is open, breaking 2000 taels may not be a problem.

Lin Yun was surprised by the strong purchasing power of the capital. He immediately sent someone to notify Xiao Mo's brother to deliver the goods to the capital as soon as possible.

The success of perfume sales made Jia Lian very happy.He calculated it privately, and even if the profit was halved, he would be able to get three to four thousand taels of silver every month in the future.After deducting the dividends for the old lady and Wang Xifeng, he can get at least 4000 taels of silver.

Thinking that 3000 taels of private money would be credited to his account every month from now on, Mr. Lian became much more forceful when speaking in the house.

Wang Xifeng sent her confidant to secretly go to the perfume shop to inquire about the situation, and when she learned that the business of the perfume shop was booming, she immediately became anxious.

Although she can't read much, she is naturally sensitive to money accounts.There is no need to guess, she also knows that the profit that Second Master Lian gets from the perfume shop is definitely more than 8000 taels a year, and adding twice that would be considered less.

The evil brother Yun had deceived her so miserably. From now on, Mr. Lian would get thousands of taels of private money every month, so she would not be able to sleep well.

...

After being pulled out by Lu Xingzhi, Lin Yun began to reflect on his past behavior, which was too capable.

The capital is full of high-ranking officials and bigwigs, if he continues to act like this, he will be played to death sooner or later.

After reflection, Lin Yun learned his lesson, and from then on he stayed in the house and studied with peace of mind.

...

This morning, Lin Yun was studying in the study, when Ying Ge came to tell him that it was Wang Xifeng who came.

Lin Yun hurried out to greet her. He had a premonition in his heart that Sister-in-law Feng probably came here because of the hot perfume business.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Wang Xifeng leading Ping'er and walking towards him, surrounded by a group of maids and women.

Lin Yun hurriedly went forward to salute, "Greetings to Second Sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng bowed and bowed back, then smiled and said: "Brother Yun, you have been back to the mansion for several days, why don't you go over there to pay the old lady well?"

Lin Yun laughed and said, "There will be a rural examination next year, and my aunt told me to study behind closed doors at home, and I was not allowed to go anywhere."

Wang Xifeng: "Brother Yun, do you want me to go to your aunt to ask for favors for you?"

"That's a good relationship. If Sister-in-Law Feng can persuade Auntie, I will be very grateful, little brother."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he wanted to accompany Wang Xifeng to meet Jia Min at the back.

But Wang Xifeng stopped him and said: "Brother Yun, your elder sister Ping'er has something to tell you. Auntie, you can just ask Brother Ying to accompany me there."

Lin Yun glanced at Ping'er and saw that she kept her head lowered and didn't speak.

Before Lin Yun could figure out the situation, Wang Xifeng had already taken the maidservant and followed Brother Ying to the back house.

Lin Yun had no choice but to lead Ping'er back to his room to talk. After entering the room, he asked Ping'er to sit on the kang, and while helping her make tea, he asked with a smile, "Sister Ping'er, how are you doing recently?" ?”

"not good."

"Um,"

Lin Yun turned around and looked at Ping'er in surprise.

Ping'er was wearing a lotus green feather satin double-breasted gown, still wearing a cloudy bun, but her pretty face looked much thinner.

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Did the second sister-in-law make things difficult for you?"

"None of Grandma's business."

"Who made it difficult for you? Tell me, and I will help you vent your anger."

Ping'er said in a resentful tone: "The one who makes things difficult for me is you."

"Uh, how could I~"

Ping'er bit her red lips lightly, and said with a troubled face: "Second Grandma said that the reason why you recognized me as a righteous sister is because you fell in love with me, think~"

"fart!"

Lin Yun raised his hand and patted the table, and cursed angrily, which shocked Ping'er.

Seeing this, Lin Yun hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm not scolding you."

Ping'er's pretty face blushed and said: "Although you don't have that kind of thought, but since the Second Mistress told about this matter, I will not be able to deal with myself."

Lin Yun suddenly felt a headache, he didn't expect his unintentional actions to bring Ping'er such a big trouble, this is really superfluous.

Ping'er plucked up the courage to ask Lin Yun: "I want to know, have you ever liked me?"

Lin Yun said awkwardly: "Sister Ping'er, you are Lian's second brother~"

Ping'er interrupted Lin Yun and said, "I never let the second master touch my body, and he doesn't value me as much as you think. The second grandma said that if you like me, she promised to fulfill us."

Hearing what Ping'er said, Lin Yun knew that she was going to die and make a last-ditch effort.

He got up and walked to Ping'er, held her slender hand, and said sincerely: "If Sister Meng does not give up, I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life."

When Ping'er heard this, he immediately threw himself into Lin Yun's arms, tears streaming down his face.

She choked up and said: "I came here today just to hear what you said. If you don't want me, then I can only die."

Lin Yun: "You are such a good person, how could I not want you?"

Ping'er raised her tearful eyes and stared at him and asked, "Do you really like me?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Shall I prove it to you?"

Ping'er asked with a cute face: "How can this be proved?"

"It can be proved like this."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he reached out to hold Ping'er's white cheek, lowered his head and kissed the beauty's lips.

Ping'er was suddenly attacked, and his mind went blank in an instant.

However, after all, she had served Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng before, so she was no stranger to this matter, plus she loved Lin Yun deeply in her heart, so she didn't resist her lover's passionate kiss, but responded shyly.
