The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"Okay, ma'am."

Doctor Guo stood up, walked to Lin Yun's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Boy Yun, go back and sit with me, I have a good Longjing for you to taste."

Lin Yun nodded and said: "There is good tea to drink, the younger generation will go to ask for trouble later."

"The old man is waiting for you."

...

After Nanny Liu sent Miracle Doctor Guo away, Jia Min ordered the maid to pull up the curtain, and asked Lin Yun to sit down and talk with her.

Lin Yun noticed that Jia Min's energy was much better now, and there was a look in his eyes.

After Lin Yun sat down, Jia Min looked at him and asked with a smile, "Brother Yun, I heard that you had someone beat Steward Lai dozens of times, but why?"

Lin Yun said solemnly: "Of course, it is for the sake of my aunt's health that my nephew only cares about this matter. If the other courtyard is in a mess all day long, how can you rest? As a housekeeper, Lai Xi will not be able to do anything during the period when my aunt is ill." Thinking of taking care of the Lord, but running out to drink and have fun, this kind of unfaithful and unfilial slave deserves to be beaten to death."

Grandma Liu happened to come back at this time, and when she heard Lin Yun's words, she immediately said with a sullen face, "Lai Xi made a mistake, and his master and wife will deal with it. You are a junior, how can you make your own opinions."

Lin Yun retorted: "It's fine if I don't bump into it. Since I bumped into it, there is absolutely no reason to stand by and watch."

Seeing Lin Yun's reluctance, Madam Liu turned to Jia Min and complained: "Madam, Brother Yun doesn't seem to have any concept of superiority and inferiority in his heart. I think his books have been read in vain."

Jia Min raised her hand and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then smiled and said: "Wan Niang, I feel that Brother Yun handled this matter cleanly and neatly, which is to my liking."

Nanny Liu looked at Jia Min in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Madam, why don't you~"

Lin Yun didn't wait for Mammy Liu to finish speaking, she stood up, handed the brocade box to Jia Min, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is the perfume that my nephew made, please have a look."

"Oh,"

Jia Min took the brocade box, opened it, and saw five exquisite small porcelain bottles neatly stacked inside.

She took out a porcelain bottle, played with it a few times, and said, "Is this the perfume you mentioned?"

Lin Yun: "Exactly. Aunt just needs to open the cork on it to smell the fragrance."

Jia Min put the box on the couch, followed Lin Yun's instructions, opened the small porcelain bottle, sniffed it with his nose, and said with surprise, "This smells much better than incense."

Lin Yun said with a proud look on his face: "This kind of perfume is fresh and elegant, and is most suitable for a noble woman like you, aunt."

Jia Min said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of noble person am I, but relying on the lingering shadow left by my ancestors, I am not underestimated. By the way, how do I use this perfume?"

Lin Yun: "Just use your fingers to dab a little bit on your ears, and the fragrance will last for several hours, and it won't go away for a long time."

"Oh, is it really so amazing?"

"You can try."

According to Jia Min's words, she dipped a little perfume with her fingers, smeared it around her ears a few times, and then smiled at Mammy Liu who was standing beside her, "Wanniang, can you smell the fragrance?"

Before Mammy Liu could speak, Lin Yun flattered her first and said, "Auntie, there's no need to ask. I can already smell the fragrance from so far away."

Shiliu also echoed with a smile and said, "Ma'am, this servant also smelled it, it seems to be the scent of peonies?"

When Jia Min saw a peony flower painted on the bottle, she pursed her lips and chuckled: "It really smells like peonies."

Lin Yun: "Peony is graceful and luxurious, dignified and majestic, it is most suitable for your identity as an aunt."

Jia Min: "According to what you said, is there another fragrance?"

"Yes, there are several scents, including gardenia scent, orchid scent, and rose scent. In short, whichever one sells better, make more of them."

"Brother Yun, how much money are you going to sell for a box of this perfume?"

"It doesn't matter. This kind of high-end perfume sells for ten taels a bottle. There are five bottles of perfume in this box, and the price is 50 taels of silver."

"what!"

Hearing Lin Yun say that a box of perfume would cost 50 taels of silver, everyone in the room was stunned.

Grandma Liu blurted out, "Brother Yun, are you crazy about money?"

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Nurse, do I look like a lunatic?"

Nanny Liu thought to herself, "I think you are a lunatic."

Jia Min: "Brother Yun, is it too expensive for a box of 50 taels of silver?"

Lin Yun: "Auntie, this kind of perfume is very difficult to make. I think 50 taels is too little."

Jia Min said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's too expensive and no one will buy it."

"Don't worry, aunt, there are also cheaper ones, such as jasmine perfume and rose flower perfume, which only cost one tael of silver a bottle. My shop in Suzhou sells them very well."

Jia Min coughed a few more times, and after a pause, he said, "How about this, I will offer 1000 taels of silver to sell perfume with you in partnership, what do you think?"

Lin Yun: "My nephew is not short of money. He only lacks land to grow flowers and shops to sell perfume. My aunt only needs to help me solve these two problems."

"It's easy. Go find the old housekeeper later. My Lin family has farms and shops in Suzhou and Yangzhou. You can choose."

"Thank you, aunt."

After a pause, Lin Yun said again: "Aunt, my nephew still wants to borrow someone from you."

"who is it?"

"Yang Yuan is Cherry's elder brother."

Jia Min hesitated and said: "Didn't that Yang Yuan just make a mistake, how could you think of asking him to help you?"

"Auntie, there is a saying that it is better to make mistakes than to use merit. Besides, although Yang Yuan disturbed your rest, he was also anxious to save his sister. I think someone who loves his sister like this is worthy of trust."

Jia Min: "Well, since you like him so much, let him follow you."

"Thank you, Auntie, for making it happen."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Yun stood up and said goodbye.

Chapter 11: Cultivation

After Lin Yun left, Nanny Liu sent out all the little maids in the room, and then asked Jia Min, "Madam, let's forget about Lai Xi's beating?"

Jia Min: "Forget it, what can I do? I can't let Brother Yun beat me up, can I?"

"At least you have to let Brother Yun go and give Lai Xi a present. Otherwise, how will you explain to Aunt Lai when you meet her again in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Min heard the words and said angrily: "What are you going to say, that disloyal and unfilial dog slave, he was beaten to death...cough cough cough~."

Nanny Liu hurried forward to pat Jia Min's back, but she was secretly surprised, "Why does Madam speak in the same tone as Brother Yun?"

After Jia Min finished coughing, she put away her handkerchief and said, "I've almost died once, so what else do I have to worry about? Besides, who in the mansion over there, except the old lady, has ever cared about me?" On the other hand, this kid, Brother Yun, is both smart and filial, as if he was sent by God to rescue me. If I break the heart of an unfaithful and unfilial slave, wouldn’t I be a fool?"

Nanny Liu: "Since Madam said so, how should this matter be settled?"

Jia Min said decisively: "Send Lai Xi to Suzhou to guard the old house, and let your brother Cong be the housekeeper."

Mammy Liu was overjoyed when she heard that Brother Cong was her own nephew, who had been running errands with the master all the time, and now she could be promoted to the housekeeper, which of course she wished for.

With this benefit, Nanny Liu threw Lai Xi's request to the sky, and by the way, she also felt that Lin Yun was not so annoying.

Jia Min suddenly asked, "Wanniang, why did Brother Heng in Suzhou send Brother Yun to our place?"

Mother Liu asked in confusion, "Didn't Lin Fu say that Uncle Heng wanted to ask our master to give advice on Brother Yun's studies?"

Jia Min shook his head and said, "Brother Yun wants to do business with all his heart, and even makes a perfume. Doesn't Brother Heng know about this?"

Grandma Liu thought for a while, and said, "Most likely I know it. With Brother Yun's stubborn temper, I'm afraid Uncle Heng will have nothing to do with him, so I want to ask our master to control him."

"I don't think so."

The original text comes from Ta&Read novels~&

"Oh, what do you mean ma'am?"

Jia Min said in a firm tone: "Brother Yun was selected as a scholar at the age of 13. It can be seen that he is an extremely smart child. Looking at the way he deals with Lai Xi, he is clean and courageous. I think the eldest son of Brother Heng's family, Probably not his opponent."

Mother Liu suddenly realized when she heard the words, "Ma'am said that Uncle Heng was worried that Brother Yun and his elder brother would compete for the power of the family, so he sent him to our place to study."

"Mostly so."

Grandma Liu said speechlessly: "Master Heng did this, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our master?"

Jia Min smiled and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? Although I'm busy with business, I'm still at home."

Mother Liu's heart moved when she heard the words, she looked at Jia Min and asked in a low voice, "Could Madam want Brother Yun to be adopted by Master?"

Jia Min pursed her lips and chuckled, "As soon as I had this idea, Wan Niang saw through it. I really can't hide anything from you."

Madam Liu: "My wife is still young, why worry about not having a brother in the future, I think~"

Jia Min raised her hand to stop her and said, "I know my body well. If I could give birth, I would have given birth a long time ago. Yan Hong is also unlucky. She risked her life to give birth to a brother for the master, but she couldn't keep it. I looked at Yun My brother is very pleasing to the eye, if I can keep him by the master's side, it will be enough to relieve the regret in my heart."

Aunt Liu: "Brother Yun, this kid is smart, but he is also very troublesome. He has caused such a big trouble just after he came here today. If we really want him to stay with me, I'm afraid you will have to worry about him every day." Causing trouble out there.”

Jia Min: "It's not like I'm going to discuss with the master right away. I have to observe for a year or so before making a decision. Besides, with me and the master here, he can still go on the wrong path."

Grandma Liu: "What Madam said is true. Brother Yun is also a capable and decisive child. If he can be more stable, he might be able to take care of Xiao Yu'er in the future."

Jia Min nodded silently. Recently, she always dreamed that after she passed away, her daughter was bullied by her stepmother, and after she got married, she was abused by her husband's family. That kind of scene broke her heart after waking up.

If Yu'er has a strong brother like Brother Xiang Yun to protect her, then she can feel at ease even if she leaves one day.

Just as Jia Min was thinking about something, Pomegranate came in and reported to her that the master was here.

...

In a spacious bedroom, Lai Xi was lying on the heated kang, listening to a young servant reporting news about Lin Yun to him.

Boy: "I heard that Lin Yun is the master's distant nephew, but it's a little far away. However, their family is considered a wealthy family in Suzhou, specializing in spices and silk."

Lai Xi said contemptuously: "I thought it was some important person. He turned out to be the son of a merchant. After Madam Liu kicks him out of the house, you go find some rogues and beat him hard. It's best to kill him." broken leg."

The servant hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why not?"

"I heard people say that Lin Yun brought a magic medicine that can cure our wife's illness."
