The Love of the Red Chamber

Chapter 7 Entering the Lin Mansion 3 Acknowledging the Master

Looking at the letter Daiyu handed to him, Yinzhen had mixed feelings in his heart, but the most was still a touch of bitterness.There was nothing else written in the letter, just a few light words telling him to obey Lin Ruhai's orders in the future.As for when to return to Beijing, the emperor will send someone to pass on the decree.

Although he told himself not to care about it, Yinzhen still felt his heartache.Once, he had a very happy life.Nor was he born with a cold temper.At that time, he was still living in Jingren Palace with the Queen Mother.After two generations of empresses passed away, Huang Ama thought that she wanted Rick's wife, so she only named Huang Erniang as the imperial concubine. He was adopted by Huang Erniang after he was born.Therefore, apart from the prince, Yinzhen was the most honorable prince in the whole palace at that time.At that time, Huang Ama often came to Jingren Palace to see Huang Erniang, and sometimes she would hold him on her lap and teach him knowledge.The Queen Mother was the noblest but also the gentlest woman in the palace he had ever seen. Although he was not her own, their relationship was better than his own.Knowing the death of Huang Erniang, Huang Ama gradually alienated him, and later even became stricter with him.Concubine De didn't want to educate herself, and he didn't want to live with anyone other than Huang Erniang, so he moved into Elder Brother's house like other elder brothers.How could the prince live well in elder brother's house without his mother's care? The negligence of the servants, the framing of the brothers, and the indifference of the emperor's mother gradually formed Sibeile Yinzhen who is now indifferent and heartless in the eyes of outsiders.

"Fourth brother?" Daiyu looked up at the expressionless Yinzhen, but she could read a trace of sadness from his cold eyes.

Yinzhen reluctantly pulled his lower lip and said, "From now on, the fourth brother will live in Dai'er's house. Do you want Dai'er to take in the fourth brother?"

"Fourth brother, don't laugh if you're unhappy." Daiyu pulled Yinzhen down and squatted down, stretched out her small hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, "Wrinkled, it's not good-looking."

Only then did Yinzhen smile sincerely, "Okay."

Before the luggage was packed, someone from the Cao family came to report, "Mr. Lin Ruhai from Suzhou has come to pick up Sibeile and Miss Lin."

Lin Ruhai couldn't laugh or cry when he received the letter sent by Kangxi's order.I have never seen such an awkward father.You still refuse to let him know that it's for your son's benefit, but you want to be indifferent to him in front of others. Isn't this intentionally making people feel uncomfortable?

Yinzhen followed Lin Ruhai back to the Lin family in Suzhou.The Lin family is located in a garden by the Taihu Lake.From the outside, it is a little bigger than the average garden and there is nothing special about it.There is also the word "Lin Fu" written by Lin Ruhai on the door.It was only after entering the garden that I realized that there was something hidden inside.The hall in front for receiving guests is very elegantly furnished, and everywhere reveals the Tsinghua demeanor of a scholarly family.There is a faint scent of flowers, but it is not strong, but it makes the whole courtyard look more peaceful and peaceful.

Passing through the hall is a huge garden, which occupies one-third of the entire Lin Mansion.Sure enough, as Daiyu said, the flowers are in full bloom. There are a few beautiful lotus flowers in a small natural lake on the west side of the garden.After passing the garden, there is the flower hall for entertaining my family and the place where the Lin family lives.In the flower hall, Jia Min was already waiting there.From a distance, Daiyu's voice was heard, "Ma'am... Yu'er is back." Jia Min rushed to the door, just in time to catch Daiyu's limp body.She looked at her to make sure her daughter had been well taken care of these days, and then she felt relieved, pinching Daiyu's face feigning anger, "Naughty, I will run around again in the future, and my mother will ignore you."

Daiyu hugged her mother and sniffed the fragrance on her body vigorously, and said coquettishly: "My mother will not ignore Yu'er."

Lin Ruhai looked at the defiant couple amusedly, and said with a smile: "Okay ma'am, the fourth elder brother is here, don't make people laugh."

Only then did Jia Min get up to salute, "I've seen Sibeile." Yinzhen stepped aside and said indifferently, "Madam, you are very polite. It is Yinzhen who interrupted you." Jia Min stared blankly at Yinzhen for a while, his eyes flashed With a touch of sadness, he shook his head and said, "Where is Sibeile? Seeing that Sibeile is now... ice, the empress must also be very pleased." Yinzhen was different. He knew that Lin Ruhai and Huang Ama were very close, but he didn't expect Jia Min to know Huang. Amount of mother.He said, "Madam, have you seen the Empress?"

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Fourth master doesn't know, my wife and empress are also sisters."

"Sister?" He remembered that Mrs. Lin's surname was Jia, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Jia family of Duke Rong of the capital.

"Back then, the old lady of the Tong family recognized her wife as a righteous daughter. The Empress Dowager personally bestowed the title of Duoluogege." The Lin family seemed invisible, but their relationship with the royal family was very complicated.If not, even though Jia Min is the daughter of the Duke of Rong, he would still be covered with a red flag.In any case, I can't be the main wife of the Lin family.The queen, who was still a noble concubine at that time, personally begged the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to carry Jia Min into the Xianghuang Banner.Only then did Feng Duo Luo Gege come round.

Naturally, Yinzhen didn't know about these things, but hearing what Lin Ruhai said, he had a little more respect for Jia Min.

The host and guest were seated, and Daiyu fell asleep after sitting in Jia Min's arms.The kid's family, who hadn't slept all night and rushed all the way back to Suzhou from Jiangning, was already tired.Jia Min smiled dotingly, confessed to Yinzhen, and went down to rest with Daiyu in her arms.

In the flower hall, Lin Ruhai drank tea with a calm face, and Yinzhen sat without saying a word.Lin Ruhai saw it in his eyes and thought in his heart that the fourth elder brother could hold his breath.After a long time, Lin Ruhai said? "I don't know what the fourth master's plans are in the future?" Yinzhen said with a faint wry smile: "The emperor ordered Yinzhen to obey Mr. Lin's arrangements. Just do what you say."

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes, took a sip from his teacup and said, "Since that's the case, fourth master is willing to worship Lin as his teacher?"

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to say such a thing.Lin Ruhai raised an eyebrow, "Fourth Master is not willing?"

Yinzhen came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, Mr. Yinzhen is honored for not giving up." If after these two days, Yinzhen still doesn't know who Lin Ruhai is, it will be equal to his court all these years. Life is a waste of time.Maybe he can't find out what's deeper, but Lin Ruhai's father was once the emperor's tutor, and his grandfather happened to be the emperor's tutor to Emperor Shizu Zhang.Even going back far, Emperor Taizong and his brothers also learned from the ancestors of the Lin family. He can always find out these things.There is also Lin Ruhai who was a high school student when he was young, and Emperor Kangxi except Aobai, Ping Sanfan all had him.Such a character is by no means comparable to ordinary retired court officials or close ministers of the emperor.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said calmly: "Since that's the case, fourth master should learn from you. Like my disciples of the Lin family, some etiquette can be avoided, but no matter whether you are a trafficker or a king or a general, you will all follow the ceremony of apprenticeship." Yin Zhen also agreed. Without being pretentious, he got up and walked in front of Lin Ruhai, raised his clothes and knelt down on the ground, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Aixinjue Luo Yinzhen pays homage to Mr." Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded, "That's it! But, fourth master, please get up."

Yinzhen got up and stood respectfully with his hands tied.Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "Today is like this. Fourth master must be tired after a day of tossing around, so take a rest first. In the evening, Ruhai will welcome fourth master." In exchange, the servant led Yinzhen to rest.Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed.Jia Min came out from behind and said with a smile: "Master, why are you sighing?" Lin Ruhai said: "Your Majesty has gone too far. I'm afraid the fourth master has a hard-to-solve problem." Jia Min still had a bad image of Kangxi, After humming, he said: "He has so many sons, so naturally he won't care about fourth master's feelings."

"Min'er..." Lin Ruhai was helpless, Jia Min always disliked Kangxi, and it hasn't changed a bit after so many years.He could only say: "Now the Crown Prince of the capital is fighting with eldest elder brother, Mingzhu and Suo'etu. If Fourth Master doesn't care about Fourth Master, why would he choose to stay in Jiangnan at this time? Forget it, we will open it later when we have a chance Solve it."
