[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

Lin Wei was puzzled, and couldn't figure out what happened to this gentleman, thinking that when the man settled down, he should go to Lin Hai to find out. Now that this is the case, he no longer thinks about it by himself.

When they returned to Xikuayuan, everyone was no longer busy. Shu Yun and Xizhao took all the maids to see Lin Wei one by one. Besides her, there were two first-class maids named Sui Yu and Ting Feng.The other four second-class rows of flowers and trees are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, plum sound, orchid rhyme, bamboo heart and chrysanthemum.The remaining eight are third-class rough envoys, who usually wait in the yard, so they have settled down.

Lin Wei already knew that the girl next to Daiyu was like this, thinking that Lin Hai treated him without prejudice.However, Lin Wei also took it calmly. After all, this era is different from later generations. The prosperity of a family directly affects a person's weight. The Lin family's heirs are so thin, and his existence is really a surprise to Lin Hai. up.

This era pays attention to family and human relations, even a high-ranking official like Lin Hai still needs the help and support of his wife's family, the Duke's Mansion, then the Duke's Mansion will do nothing, and a century-old family is not easy Shaken.Thinking about Lin Hai's prominent official position and fat job, it is absolutely impossible for no one to covet it. However, even if ordinary people really want to make a move, they have to think about it. No more worries.Now Lin Wei is the only son in the Lin family, Lin Hai taught him wholeheartedly, it must be for the purpose of establishing a family with his uncle and nephew in the future, if he can earn a living, after all, he is much tougher than that relative.

As the saying goes, it's hard to be a lonely official, no matter how careful you are or how careful you are, you can't hide from the turbulent undercurrents in the officialdom.How difficult is it for those who have no family background and no support from relatives and friends to manage it step by step?Lin Wei naturally understands Lin Hai's thoughts, so now that he has this opportunity, it is a good time to study hard and make progress.

Lin Wei felt that he was still young after all, and since Lin Hai cared so much about him, then housekeeper Lin must have repeatedly warned them, and these slaves must not dare to be presumptuous, so they did not give any instructions.Thinking that there will be a confrontation when meeting that gentleman tomorrow, Lin Wei had a meal and rested early today, only preparing to recharge his energy, and go to Zizhuxuan to dig out the thoughts in the man's heart.

Shu Yun and Xizhao sent Lin Wei'an to take a rest, knowing that he was not used to serving too close, they took everyone out of the outhouse and decided on how to stay overnight, and the two told the other new arrivals to serve on weekdays. Pay attention to any movement at night, and then go to work separately.

After a night without dreams until dawn, Lin Wei slept very well this time.

When he got up early, it was still Xizhao who sent him to dress up. Seeing that it was still early, he went inside to greet Jia Min. Jia Min looked at his new clothes and smiled slightly, but told him to study hard. Stealing, raping, cheating, etc., should also pay attention to the health and maintenance of the body.Lin Wei responded one by one and told Jia Min to rest more, not to be troubled by ordinary things, and retreated. When he went to the study, Lin Hai was already waiting for him.

Lin Hai carefully looked at Lin Wei's clothes, nodded and said: "Mr. Tu is still young and has a casual temperament, you have to be obedient and don't rush, I won't ask more about other things, but when it comes to studying here, if you are lazy in the future, you will be sure." Not forgiving."

Is this person a surname?When he came to Yangzhou, the old man driving the car once mentioned that the surname of Tu is the surname of Huang!Lin Wei's heart moved, but after thinking about it again, she felt that it was extremely impossible, but she didn't quite understand the instructions behind, so she just asked: "Mr. Tu? Although my nephew is young, I have heard of it a little bit. Now this Tu's surname is It's too expensive. My nephew saw yesterday that my husband has an extraordinary demeanor. Could it be that he has something to do with it? Uncle must not hide anything from me, and don't let my nephew accidentally make another abrupt thing. It's not good to offend my husband."

Lin Hai groaned in his heart. Tu Yan had specifically told him a few days ago that he was not in the court after all, and that his status was different. It would be troublesome for him to sit in the Lin Mansion for three or two months, so he didn't want to publicize it, and emphasized that it was only a matter of time. As long as he and Yang Zhifu knew each other.It never occurred to Lin Hai that Lin Wei was only six years old, and he guessed the clue just by observation, and now he was having trouble responding to the question.After thinking about it, it would be better to ask him to ask himself. The master and apprentice will be together every day, and they will know sooner or later, so it is not considered his own breach of promise, so he smiled and said: "You can also improve this kind of thinking. Come to think of it, after all, it is a child's heart, one day is a teacher and life is a father, you get along day and night, no adult cares about children's conflicts, if you really have any disrespect, it must be the dereliction of duty of your uncle and your husband. It's to teach you how to do it. Well, it's getting late, let's go now."

Can this be any more vague?Lin Wei felt that there was a bigger problem inside, but she refused to explain one or two words about the matter, it must have been something that the gentleman ordered, and officials are really slippery.Anyway, he had already made up his mind to see the real chapter with that person, so it didn't matter if he said it or not, so he followed Lin Hai to Zizhuxuan.

Lin Wei had already heard that Lin Daiyu was now studying with her husband, and it was the Jia Yucun who brought down the Rongguo Mansion later. He thought that the gentleman must be from Donghua Hall, but when he heard that the newcomer The husband lived in Zizhuxuan to know the difference in treatment. Chang'an said that Zizhuxuan was very good, but Lin Wei thought that it should be no matter what.

Zizhuxuan is a separate courtyard extending eastward between the East Flower Hall and the main building.Lin Wei followed Lin Hai through the courtyard gate, only to find that there is really something hidden here.The main building of this Zizhu Pavilion is also a big three rooms with one light and two dark rooms, which is as wide as the outer courtyard. There are wing rooms on the east side, and the courtyard wall behind is the east street wall of the Imperial Palace.In front of the yard is a large garden, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery and pavilions, but the one that catches Lin Wei's attention at a glance is the small attic in the middle of the garden that is surrounded by water and connected by white marble bridges at the four corners.

After Lin Wei admired it, he couldn't help sighing that the villas of this era are really impressive, and praised: "This water pavilion is really good."

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Mr. Tu loved it so much when he came here, and he rested there last night."

will enjoy.

Because of the different identities of this tuyan, and he recommended himself to sit in the hall, Lin Hai only offered a generous gift and a bundle of repairs when he went to invite him. The school examination a few days ago was just a formality. That's the official caster.

Tu Yan was sitting in the main room, Lin Wei stepped forward to prostrate, served him tea and then presented him with a teacher sticker, this was the initiation ceremony.It was rare for Tu Yan to smile softly, without the casualness of yesterday's meeting. He told him to work hard, work diligently, and be a down-to-earth man. It was a teacher's admonition, so he helped him up with both hands, and took out a jade pendant from his bosom and presented it to him. He smiled and said, "Take it easy, you are my only disciple."

Hearing this, Lin Wei was very interesting, picked up the jade pendant to look at it, and saw that there was also an engraving on it, but it was the word "Rui", Tu Rui?

Lin Hai was shocked when he saw this. It is rumored that the children of the royal family now have a jade pendant engraved with their name or title, which represents their identity. This is like the Shang Fang sword bestowed by the previous emperor. So there has never been a gift from each other, at most it is left to the children.

However, there is still a rumor about this Tu Yan that he is still unmarried because he is only male, so he has no children. This is also the biggest reason why both the present and the emperor treat him differently from other royal relatives.Now in the court, there are four princes with different surnames and four kings with different surnames. Each of them fights with each other and secretly communicates with each other to make a living, but only Prince Rui has the military power in his hands. He ignores the government, but his words are extremely important, and he is the biggest support of the imperial party.

Even Lin Hai was secretly relieved to be treated like this by him.Regardless of courtiers or local officials, there is no one who does not want to try to be loyal to this grandfather, because if he can get his approval, he will get out of the tangled and chaotic waters, and he will be loyal to the emperor.However, in the seven years since Prince Rui made his debut at the age of 15, no one was able to knock on the door of Prince Rui's mansion. Later, everyone understood that knocking on his door was not as easy as knocking on the emperor's door directly.

So this harvest was a shocking joy for Lin Hai.

After Lin Wei paid homage to his teacher, Lin Haifang left and went to the yamen, where the master and apprentice began to formally teach.

Lin Wei looked around, sat behind his small table, and there was already a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, but he couldn't let go of something in his heart, so he looked up at Tu Yan and said bluntly: "I still have something unclear, sir. Taught me."

When Tu Yan heard that he finally asked, he naturally understood what he was thinking about, and said with a narrow smile: "I knew you would ask, I love all kinds of beautiful jade very much, and I thought about it when I saw you holding the treasure that day. I don’t have any money with me, so I just wanted to see where your family lives and ask for it later. But I didn’t want to go to find you later, but I disappeared. After some inquiries, I found out about you when I met the steward Ruhai sent to Gusu He is actually his nephew. Your uncle and I are close friends, so I came to teach you. I think that jade pendant is a family heirloom of your Lin family? Now that you have worshiped me as your teacher, I will naturally treat you with all my heart. You, it will make you learn something and excel in the world.”

Lin Wei originally thought that it might be something, but never thought that it was really for a beloved thing, so she let go of her heart.Now that he said so, it was true, seeing that the gift he gave was actually engraved on it, so I believed his words even more.I imitated it with all my heart after seeing it once. Back then, the problem of the third child was extremely serious, and it even made it difficult for him and the boss, almost to the point of walking around when he saw the hat.

Lin Wei explained: "My jade pendant is the only keepsake left by my mother. I really can't give it away at will. I hope Mr. Haihan."

Tu Yan was startled for a moment, then frowned, walked in front of Lin Wei, picked up the ruler very smoothly, patted him on the forehead mercilessly, and said angrily: "I didn't become your husband to steal your jade pendant. Yes! To make you kneel once, you have to work hard to teach you to grow up, and I have to treat you like this?! Now, forget about those inexplicable things and copy the book for me. Can you write? Copy it all, when will it be done? Come and call me sir!"

Lin Wei: "..."

Uncle, don't be too subtle in your words, this temperament is too casual!
