Heir of the Red Chamber

The rain slid down the eaves of the car, and a gust of cold wind hit. When the car curtain was rolled up, a few drops of autumn rain were also sent into the car.

Feeling the sudden slight wetness on his face, Lin Ya opened his eyes in a trance, and saw the servant Fusheng frowning and stretching the curtain, trying to block the cold rain and cold wind, and looking outside the curtain, it was autumn grass Lili, oblique wind and rain.

Lin Ya was about to tell Fu Sheng not to bother, so that the Lin family would not think their brothers were crazy, when he suddenly saw Fu Sheng's newly trimmed beard, he remembered Tonight and He Xi.

He was no longer the young man who carried his younger brother in his arms and was picked up by two Lin family stewards to Yangzhou to inspect Yan Yushi's mansion, but the newly promoted right servant of the household department, the undisputed uncle of the Lin family.

The younger brother who was nestled in his arms, introverted and shy, only showing a pair of bright eyes and yearning for the scenery outside the car, has also left home to travel the world.

If Lin Chong hadn't left Fusheng behind when he passed by Jinling, Lin Ya might have to wait until he returned to the capital to find out what happened to his family.

"Don't worry about it."

Lin Ya spoke in a hoarse voice, removed the pillow and sat up straight, unconsciously stroking the snow-colored fox fur covering her legs with her slender and well-proportioned fingers, then raised her eyes and smiled at Fu Sheng: "I'm the one who left in a hurry Some, you have less time to prepare, it is inevitable that you are not thoughtful, this is also a helpless thing, why bother to worry about it? It is also a beautiful thing to enjoy the autumn by the window."

Only then did Fu Sheng move away from the window, sat back to the original place and rolled up the half of his wet sleeves, pouring water for Lin Ya while saying in a muffled voice: "Master, you have finished your errands with great difficulty, why don't you rest for a day or two Let's go again? The weather is so bad, it was fine when we were in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was nothing wrong with taking a boat all the way, but it is going to rain when we are going into the city today."

Not only Fusheng, but almost the entire Jinling yamen were persuading him to take a break, and even the Chief of Staff who came to deliver the decree told him with a flattering smile that the sage had given him five months to return to Beijing, so that he should not work too hard.

But how could Lin Ya not be in a hurry?Resting for a day or two and going on the road slowly will not disappoint the emperor, but his wife is getting heavier and heavier, how can he let his wife wait for the birth of the child alone at home?

This is their first child.

Without explaining to Fu Sheng why he was in such a hurry, Lin Ya drank the lukewarm honey water in one gulp, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not too bad, you have come to the capital with me for a few years, have you ever been in the capital?" Have you ever seen such a gentle autumn rain within a hundred miles of the capital? It can be seen that there are scenery in all seasons, and the ancients did not deceive me."

The weather in the capital is always a bit like the people's hearts and imperial power here. Even the rain comes and goes majesticly, with the momentum of scouring everything in the world, which is completely different from the fine and soft rain in the south of the Yangtze River.If not, Lin Ya would not mistakenly regard Xindu as his hometown.

In the past few years, Fusheng has also learned to read and write, and his grandma Zeng Hui married a big girl who can read and settle accounts. I have some ink in my stomach, but I don't have the literati habit of appreciating autumn at all. Shang Linya's emotions had no choice but to dryly agree a few times, and instead blamed the Queen of Beijing and that Zen master Miaoyu.

It turned out that Lin Ya and his party were supposed to enter the city early this morning.Unexpectedly, at the post station yesterday, I ran into Princess Beijing, who was ordered to become a monk in a royal monastery in the suburbs, and Zen master Miaoyu, who was also invited to give lectures.

How did Fusheng know the importance of the fate of the two people in Lin Ya's heart?

Needless to say Miaoyu, Princess Beijing was punished for abandoning her daughter-in-law. According to the person who escorted the princess, the sage still had a will to denounce her for being unfaithful, unrighteous, and unkind.Lin Ya believed that after this incident, the despicable act of killing all the female family members whose natal families had collapsed, even their own children and grandchildren, could finally be curbed.

He didn't take the boy's complaints seriously, and just as Lin Ya wanted Fusheng to ask how long it was before the capital, he heard a rush of horseshoes coming from the left.

"But Lin Shilang's car? Please lean on me!"

A group of seven or eight riders came galloping in the rain, and the first rider pulled the reins sharply when he was a dozen steps away from the carriage, and shouted loudly amidst the neighing of the horses.

Lin Ya raised his eyebrows, signaling Fu Sheng to tell the coachman to stop.

After the death of the old sage, the forces that refused to bow to Chu Ronghua were uprooted almost overnight. Nowadays, there are not many people who can be as majestic at the feet of the emperor. Lin Ya thought about it, there are just a few of them It's just an old man who worked for Chu Ronghua early on.

As soon as the Lin family's carriage stopped, a tall and thin figure wearing a black brocade cloak lightly clamped the horse's belly and walked slowly to the front of the carriage.The handsome eyebrows and eyes faintly exposed under the hood looked at the car with a smile, as if waiting for an old friend returning from a long journey.

Lin Ya couldn't help being stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he ordered Fusheng and the driver to get out of the carriage ten steps away, and he got up to get out of the carriage to greet him.

It was indeed an old friend who came.But it's not the King of Beijing Jing who is related to each other, nor the King Zhongshun who is friendly with each other, but the saint of today, Chu Ronghua.

As soon as Lin Ya opened the curtain, he was stopped by Chu Ronghua who got off his horse, and he was also stopped when he wanted to pay respects.

"Why is Lin Qing so polite?" Chu Ronghua stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and after Lin Ya retreated into the car, he shook his hood and followed in. The guard who had just shouted took the place of the driver, and the car walked slowly again up.

The cloak on Chu Ronghua's body was already drenched during the ride. As soon as he sat down, he took off the cloak and rolled it into a ball, looking at Lin Ya and jokingly said, "Thankfully, I brought something to light the fire, Lin Qing here He didn't even bring a hand stove, could it be that he has been away from the capital for a long time and forgot about the coldness of the capital?"

Knowing that Chu Ronghua was just joking, Lin Ya replied dryly: "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace."

Anyway, he went south this time to help Chu Ronghua avoid future troubles, even if he really forgot the scenery of the capital, he is still loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and should be praised.

Chu Ronghua was startled, then laughed, and threw the two bright yellow scrolls into Lin Ya's arms, and pointed with a smile: "Open it and have a look."

Such a declaration is really eye-opening.Lin Ya hesitated for a while, but still opened the scroll and quickly read it against Chu Ronghua's meaningful eyes.

The first purpose is to praise Lin Ya's first contribution in persuading the barbarians to become a minister.

Yin Wang Huyan has already represented the court in the name of the head of the barbarian tribe, wishing to honor Chu Ronghua as his father.So far, the imperial court has not yet reached a conclusion on how to reward Lin Ya, and Lin Ya has waited patiently, and in this imperial decree, Chu Ronghua made a golden statement and made Lin Ya the Marquis of Dingxi.

The second decree is to bestow a marriage, betrothing Dingxi Hou Linya's younger sister to Anping Hou Xu Nan, and get married in the next year.

Lin Ya couldn't help frowning, and looked up at Chu Ronghua who was sitting upright with a smile on his face: "What's your Majesty's intention?"

Could it be that the Lin family didn't agree to marry Daiyu, so they didn't make him Marquis of Dingxi?If that's the case, the Marquis of Rausch doesn't matter.How can an imposing man sell his sister for glory?

Chu Ronghua snorted, but asked Lin Ya back: "I came to visit in the rain, and Lin Qing didn't even drink with me? I'm afraid it's not how a gentleman treats guests."

The dignified emperor talked about other things, so Lin Ya could only resign himself to his fate and lean forward to get the water bag.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, Chu Ronghua Shi Shiran took back the marriage proposal, and it was directly torn in two.

"Okay, you're already the Marquis of Dingxi. I'll kill your precious lady if you don't follow my orders. You'd rather die."

After finally overthrowing the old father who was on top of him, the arrogance in Chu Ronghua's bones and the cruelty of the king slowly overflowed, and even the jokes were tinged with a trace of blood.

Lin Ya's heart trembled, and Chu Ronghua smiled again: "But this is what the queen wants. After thinking about it quietly, I still feel that a twisted melon may not be sweet. You should discuss it with Old Shangshu Lin."

After the old sage died suddenly, Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to beg for rest, Chu Ronghua refused three times, Lin Ruhai wrote the fourth memorial, and now he is at home, just tending flowers and plants every day, and no idlers are seen.

Thinking of his stepfather who resolutely quit the court, Lin Ya couldn't help sighing again, but Chu Ronghua pushed over a drawing with the seal of the Ministry of Industry.

"The two mansions of Ningrong and Rong have been copied, and they are being rebuilt under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry. I gave the Ningguo Mansion to the Xu family, and in the future it will be the Anpinghou Mansion. I left the Rongguo Mansion to you. I also left the plaque of the Dingxihou Mansion. It’s finished. You can see if the drawing by the Ministry of Industry is to your liking, and if it’s not to your liking, let them change it.”

While talking, Chu Ronghua put on his cloak again: "Think about it carefully, your sister will arrive at her mother's house from the Anping Marquis Mansion, and it will be very convenient and easy for you to beat your brother-in-law. Where can you find such a good marriage?" ? I want to go back to the hunting ground to teach my son who is not good enough, so I won’t go back to Beijing with you.”

Lin Ya waited to ask again, but Chu Ronghua had already jumped onto the royal horse that had been trotting beside the car, and roared away under the protection of the guards.

When Chu Ronghua and his party were far away, Fu Sheng and the coachman rushed up tremblingly in the car carrying luggage attached to the back.

Chu Ronghua came and went in style, but after being frightened by the sudden arrival of the sage, Fu Sheng didn't dare to say a word.Until the car stopped at the main entrance of Lin's house, Fu Sheng crouched in a corner of the car, staring devoutly at the imperial edict in Lin Ya's hand.

On Linya Road, he still laughed and scolded Fusheng for his lack of prospects, but when he saw the familiar house, he couldn't care less about anything.

He even forgot to take the imperial decree of the Marquis. Lin Ya jumped out of the carriage and rushed to Lin Ruhai who was waiting outside the door. He solemnly knelt down and kowtowed three times before looking up at Lin Ruhai's wife behind him.

Zeng Hui was seven months pregnant at this time.She held her belly carefully, and looked at Lin Ya with pure joy and love.

The rain finally stopped.
