Heir of the Red Chamber

After all, Mr. He Er is old, and he is very puffy. He has been standing like the two young people for a long time. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the Lin family's convoy finally arrive. It was not as tough as Liu's and Zeng's, so he simply ordered Xiao Yaoer to lead his horse and go up to meet him personally, which made Er Zeng very uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to ride his horse and follow, leaving only Uncle Liu to calm down Standing there leisurely, still in the mood to have some tea.

Speaking of which, the He family helped Lin Ya spend a lot of money to find skilled craftsmen when repairing the carriage that Lin Ya was riding in this time. Master He also secretly smacked his tongue at the history and expense of the carriage, who knows that the rumors can't say it all. The value of the car, seeing the real face today, Master He Er still couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes.

During Taizu's life as a soldier, the advisers around him first promoted King Beijing and the four ministers, but when he went south with the prestige of sweeping the north, Pingjing Jiangnan relied on the Patriarch of the Lin family of Gusu, and later Lin Xu, Marquis of Dingnan.The Taizu was generous, and he was happy to give his ministers BMWs. However, Lin Xu and his son Lin Lin were both injured and weak due to years of battles, and most of them couldn't ride horses when they traveled on weekdays. The Nanyue Kingdom surrendered, and among the offerings was a precious red sandalwood chariot. The Taizu was overjoyed to see it, and gave it to the Lin family.

Looking at the whole country, it is estimated that this is the only one whose car body is entirely carved from rosewood.Not to mention that along the wooden texture, gold threads are used as guides, jade of various colors is used as ink, and the picture of the seven sages in the bamboo forest drinking and feasting by Yan Shijie, a master of the dynasty, is painted, and the pearls are used as the sun, moon and stars, shining brightly, even in the scorching sun Underneath, there is still a stream of color looming.

Others may not know the allusion, but the masters of the He family heard the report from the craftsmen. At first glance, the most dazzling and valuable thing in this car is the red sandalwood night pearl, but it is not.

At that time, the Taizu made a joke, and the descendants of the Lin family tried their best to make this picture of a feast be lifelike and seamless. The seven sages and the various scenes in the picture couldn't be controlled by the usual law, but they took the best seeds and pieces of jade. It was split into small pieces of appropriate size and thickness, and pasted one by one by specially trained artisans. From a distance, it looked like Yan Shijie's authentic work had fallen from the roof and covered the body.

The craftsmen that their family dared to recommend to the Lin family were not ordinary people, but they were just helping the capable people raised by the Lin family for generations, and they endured heartache to crack jade.

Knowing that most of the Lin family still wanted to beat and frighten their own family, the He family naturally became more docile after seeing the secret wealth of the Lin family.This is also the decision made by Mrs. He after weighing it over and over again. After all, if the Lin family turns ruthless in the future, can they be more greedy, mean, mean and ungrateful than the Zhongshun Palace?What's more, Prince Zhongshun has offended all the princes by relying on his favor. In the future, whoever will get what he wants can't be seen by Mrs. He. He still understands that Prince Zhongshun must be unlucky.

The aunts and grandmothers that the He family sent to the palace are all gone, so what's the point of secretly changing the master?Master Lin is still pinching Yanyin, that is the foundation of the He family.

Seeing that Master He was about to kneel on the ground and become a slave of the Lin family, Second Master Zeng somewhat looked down on the He family, and because of the bad relationship between Zeng and He's family for several lifetimes, he uttered bad words to the elders, so he could only squint his eyes Looking at the Lin family's convoy, so as to dismount at any time to salute.

He didn't know the mystery of the decoration of Lin Ya's carriage, he just felt that the carriage was made of red sandalwood and it was too heavy. It's a little bit like I can't run.

Second Master Zeng is the eldest son of Master Zeng Er. He is only seventeen years old now, and he still has a youthful heart. He is quite curious, and he can't help but want to take a closer look. He is just concerned about his dignity and dare not be presumptuous. He only thinks this last idea The road is very tough.

But as soon as the carriage stopped, the clever young man jumped out of the carriage to invite Mr. Lin, the mysterious carriage could no longer attract Zeng Erye's attention.

Even though he had long heard that the only son of the Xue family broke his leg because he coveted Uncle Lin's beauty, and even though Second Master Zeng was not as good as Long Yang, he still couldn't help but secretly praise that he was born really well.

The beauty of Lin Ya is different from the soft beauty of Jinling's famous young master Yu and Zhen Xuan, the second wife of the Zhen family, but it is cold and heroic, with no arrogance in his demeanor and proud eyes. It must be like the stars in the sky smiling and breaking through the wind. With the hard-to-find red gauze shirt in the snow, it is really a bit of rouge in the clouds, shameful to the secular world.

Second Master Zeng lost his mind for a while, but Lin Ya had avoided accepting the gift from Master He Er, and instead looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. He came back to his senses and hurriedly confessed his crimes.

And saluted solemnly.As soon as the astonishing admiration in his heart was gone, the businessman's habit that Zeng Erye had cultivated since he landed broke out, and in the little gap when he respectfully sent Lin Ya to board the car again, he also secretly looked Lin Ya up and down. all over.

Lin Ya was young, and he only had an agarwood hairpin on his head. Only those who have studied agarwood can tell from the carving style of the hairpin that it was written by the former master Wu Yanzi. It has survived and is not money. can be estimated.Needless to say, the price of the Xueli red gauze shirt, the Zeng family has acquired two horses over the years, and they have been sent to the palace of the capital, so that they can show their aunts.What caught people's attention was the snow-coloured neckline with some embroidered dark patterns exposed under the vermilion tulle on Lin Ya's neck.Looking at its texture, it is clear that Zeng Erye and his elder brother personally escorted the Yingquan satin to Beijing. Even the word "precious" is not enough to describe its rarity.

Second Master Zeng was stunned by the Lin family's intentional display of wealth, and when his eyes fell on Lin Ya's waist, he caught a glimpse of the black jade Guanyin adornment of "Cailan Ji", which was listed as the most famous treasures in ancient and modern times. Its market price is nothing more than riding a horse to protect it beside Lin Ya's chariot.

As for Uncle Liu, who was so big and didn't come forward, Lin Ya only said a word to him through the window, even if it was more than polite, no matter how self-esteemed Uncle Liu held his breath, the group of people walked in ostentatiously. out of town.

"Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce, isn't the Imperial Merchant still a merchant?" Shousheng twitched his lips, carefully putting the beeswax bergamot he was playing with on Linya Road into a box, and laughed in a low voice.

When Lin Ya heard the words, the corners of his lips curled up and he didn't speak.

He didn't bring Fusheng, who was dressed since childhood, when he went out this time. Fusheng is not as clever as Shousheng, but this ability to know when to say and when not to say, and what to say when he should speak, Fusheng may not be able to catch up with ten years of practice. Get Shousheng.

How about the grandpa of the Imperial Merchant Liu's family just outside?What's the fun in scolding if it's not face-to-face scolding?

Lin Ya still remembered that Lin Ruhai called him to talk to Zhan Ye before leaving.

He also asked Lin Ruhai if it was inappropriate for the Lin family to go to Jinling to show off their wealth, but Lin Ruhai just smiled contemptuously.

"Where is it wrong?" The well-known elegant gentleman in the court showed a sly look on his face: "Things are all given to us by the saints of the past. You are my eldest son, and I regard you as my phoenix. What if everything goes wrong with you?" ? As for the idea of ​​fabric, it looks scary, can it be as good as pavilions, other courtyards, and tall buildings? It must be famous anyway.”

Lin Ruhai, the Prime Minister of the Jiangnan Salt Administration, in addition to handing over the national treasury to prepare for the taxes collected by the six ministries, also has a large amount of money into the current private treasury, so that it can be squandered by the current generation who likes extravagance and extravagance and is greedy for holy names.Just looking at the two current private gardens that broke ground last year, one can know that Lin Ruhai is capable of handling affairs, and he is not worthy of the current saying "my arm".

But now he is suspicious. Although Lin Ruhai is incomparable, he always feels that the Lin family must also be rich in their own pockets. Later, they found out that the other confidantes sent to Lin Ruhai to take over the salt administration were far behind Lin Ruhai, so they turned off. The thought of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge even pretended to be magnanimous in the secret decree, allowing Lin Ruhai to act cheaply, and secretly admitted the matter of the Lin family's profit sharing.

At that time, Lin Ruhai's only son died young, and the family couldn't choose a worthy heir. All thoughts were lost, and he just laughed at it, so he left it in the dark cell. The family forgot that there is a giant Buddha in Yangzhou city.

It wasn't until Lin Yalin Chong adopted Lin Ya and Lin Ruhai gradually valued the two heirs that he began to pay more attention to the officialdom, teaching them from time to time.

Lin Ya listened to Shousheng scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, but he remembered Lin Ruhai's words that night. Maybe Lin Ruhai didn't take it seriously, but Lin Ya was deeply touched.

Birth, family, heirs, men and women, these concepts that have been downplayed in his past world have deeper meanings in this other world than he imagined.Because of his birth, Uncle Liu could only silently be ridiculed by the servants of the Lin family. Whether he himself, Lin Ruhai, Daiyu's father and daughter, they were bound by these for a lifetime.

Lin Ruhai held the cup and told him that only the eldest son of the Lin family could inherit the many things in the inner treasury of the family. If there was no Lin Yalin Chong, those things could only go underground with him, an unfilial son, to meet the ancestors. up.

Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's biological daughter, and Lin Ruhai loves Daiyu like a pearl in his palm. At the same time, Lin Ruhai really feels that Daiyu is not qualified to use the things passed down from generation to generation by the men of the Lin family, because Daiyu is no longer in the Lin family after she gets married.

In the original book, the treasure of the Lin family was not brought back to the capital by Jia Lian, presumably it was buried in the Lin family's ancestral grave.And to send Daiyu to Beijing, maybe Lin Ruhai, who felt ashamed of his ancestors and had no interest in life, had no intention of disciplining her. He felt that a cousin who was worthy of his daughter's life and was good enough for his life was enough?

Just as Lin Ya was staring indifferently at the car curtain with pale gold pearls as the pendant, Uncle He who had been accompanying Lin Ya suddenly rode over and handed a simple and elegant chrysanthemum pear box to Shousheng. Shousheng didn't dare to take the big one, so he immediately bowed to thank him, and then took it with both hands and gave it to Lin Ya.

Lin Ya raised his eyebrows and opened it to see that it was Zhen Teng, the eldest son of Zhen, who invited him to gather in his garden outside today, "Thank you for not coming forward to dissuade him that day, which caused Xiao Xiao to offend his virtuous brother".

The Zhen family has watched Lin Ruhai dejectedly spend his days behind closed doors and dominating the south of the Yangtze River in recent years. Shousheng and other family members who rely on the power of the Lin family see that the Zhen family is really displeased in every possible way, and they are immediately filled with righteous indignation: "This Zhen family is so stupid. Bully, a servant girl..."

Lin Ya smiled and scolded Shousheng, telling him to shut up, but then asked Shousheng to get out of the car and go back to Zhen Ting's confidant who was still waiting outside, and after seeing the man's tense face face to face, he accepted the invitation.

As for the three families of Liu, Zeng, and He, Liu and Zeng's families are still high-spirited, and they should let it air for a while, so that they can live up to the trust of the Third Highness.The He family can be regarded as their own confidants, they don't care about appearances, and they don't care about trivial etiquette.

Lin Ya has a straightforward temper, and the servants of the family are well-trained, so regardless of whether the masters' smiles are still showing reluctance, they quickly divide into several groups and leave separately.The Lin family's motorcade was also divided into two, only a dozen healthy servants and two servants, Shousheng and Lusheng, accompanied Lin Ya to the banquet.

Arriving at Zhen Teng's private residence, Lin Ya got out of the car and exchanged greetings with Zhen Teng, who was showing regret. He was about to walk with his arms when he smelled a hint of the sweet fragrance that women are accustomed to. After a moment of surprise, his smile deepened a bit. ?
