Warriors in the Red Chamber

In the study, Lin Hai's hand tapped on the table lightly, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked like he was deep in thought. Lin Cheng underneath dared not speak.

Lin Cheng was Lin Hai's personal servant in the earliest days. There are some things that the master doesn't know, but those who take care of him can see them more clearly. It's just that there is no room for servants to intervene in the affairs of the master, so he didn't say anything to anyone. He didn't confide a word to his mother, but the old lady still found out later.Thinking of this, Lin Cheng's expression darkened, and he was inevitably worried about his master.

After a long time, Lin Hai opened his mouth and said, "You said they just lived in the inn?" Lin Cheng quickly returned to God when he heard the question, "Yes, I went to check it myself. A group of ten or so people arrived in Yangzhou yesterday evening. Live in Tongfu Inn."

Lin Hai nodded to signal him to go down first, and when he was alone in the study, he leaned back on the chair tiredly.He really had to think about what to do, for a prince and a prince, it would definitely be impossible to let them live in a hotel, but Lin Hai really didn't know how to get along with him.

Whether it's guilt, or something else, he can no longer think about many things.During those days, it is best to forget the absurdity of youth.He had told himself this all these years, but deep down in his heart he still couldn't let it go.The first time I saw him before, my heart couldn't help tightening, and I still couldn't forget it.

Covering his face with one hand, at this moment he is not the pillar of the country who governs the Jiangnan officialdom and shares the worries of the king while talking and laughing, but a man full of loneliness.

After this moment, he will return to his previous position, a good official, a good father.

When Lin Hai was depressed in the study, there was a person who was drinking to drown his sorrows. Sometimes Situ Rui really felt that he was so stupid. What is so good about that man? In his heart, his family, the country, and even the king should be ranked before him. In the front, he didn't have him in his heart at all.

One cup after another, the wine is sad, but it only adds to the sorrow.Situ Yu looked at the man in the courtyard who kept drinking and frowned slightly. It stands to reason that this is not something he should be in charge of, but there must be a reason for his father to force himself here. It is not a bad idea to see Qi Shu drunk like this thing.

"Uncle Huang, how much has he drank?" Situ Yu asked the guard softly, and the guard was Situ Rui's confidant and said worriedly: "It's halfway back to His Highness."

Situ Yu nodded and walked forward. Situ Rui felt that someone approached and looked up and saw his nephew as expected. To be honest, he guessed a little bit about Brother Huang's thoughts, but he really didn't intend to get involved. The Tian family's father-son brotherhood is very fragile, and he doesn't want to test it at all.Therefore, he mostly stayed with Situ Jin along the way, and rarely asked about Situ Yu's affairs.

Situ Yu looked at the drunken man in front of him and really couldn't believe that this man was the God of War who led the soldiers of Daqing to fight on the battlefield, and he was a man from their Situ family. Such behavior was really stupid.

"Uncle Qihuang, you are drunk, I will ask someone to help you go back to rest."

Probably because he saw Situ Yu's contempt hidden under his respect, Situ Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly. After all, he was still too young.But it's much better than myself, and I can't do this at this age.

He smiled indifferently, and when Situ Rui closed his eyes and opened them again, he was completely drunk. The sharpness in his eyes forced Situ Yu to take a step back unconsciously.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Situ Yu said respectfully: "Since the emperor's uncle is not drunk, then my nephew will go back first."

Situ Rui smiled and said: "It's hard work for the eldest prince to follow me these days. After picking up Xiao Jin tomorrow, he will return to Beijing, so that he can have a good rest."

A ray of light flashed in Situ Yu's eyes and he replied calmly: "It's good that the emperor doesn't dislike my nephew. The emperor has orders when he leaves the capital. Everything is under the emperor's arrangement. There is no rush to return to Beijing."

It's not like Situ Yu will return to Beijing so soon, he just met an interesting person.

Taking a deep look at Situ Yu, Situ Rui didn't say anything, but asked him to go back and rest first.As for him, of course he doesn't drink any more, how could half a jug of wine make him drunk, it's just that he wants to get drunk.With a sigh, let people clean up the mess.

Lin Hai, who hadn't slept all night, was still the same as usual the next day, all his emotions were well buried by him.Earlier, I went to the yamen to deal with the matter, but before it was finished, someone came to report in a hurry, saying that there was a distinguished guest.

Putting down the official business for the time being, Lin Hai felt that a big stone had landed in his heart. No matter what, it would be better to solve it earlier.

It's just that after returning to the mansion, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Daiyu was there, and Lin Hai's expression was a little displeased.He really didn't want Yu'er to be involved in these things.

Daiyu would not have appeared here, the only one to blame is that sixth prince, Situ Jin, who was going to play with Daiyu early in the morning, and when he heard that someone was coming to pick him up, he dragged Daiyu unceremoniously to meet him Brother Huang.After all, this is the prince, and the people in the mansion are not easy to do anything, so Daiyu can only be dragged to the front hall by him. Fortunately, she is not at the age to pay attention to these things, otherwise, if she tries to be punished, the servants of the Lin family will also Stop this unreliable prince.

Situ Rui took the main seat, and there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy next to him, who should be the other prince who accompanied him, the eldest prince Situ Yu.

After Lin Hai came in, he just saluted Situ Rui and Situ Yu indifferently and said, "I have seen Your Highness Prince Rui, Your Highness the First Prince." Then he said to Lin Cheng, "Send the girl back to the backyard yet." Dai Seeing his father's ugly face, Yu didn't dare to say anything, but just saluted and was about to leave.

It's just that Situ Jin was not happy, and directly grabbed Daiyu and said, "Why do you want my sister to go, and my sister also stays?"

Lin Hai's face became more and more ugly, Situ Yu glanced at the uncle who had been silent all this time, since last night he never underestimated this uncle.Seeing that Situ Rui didn't intend to speak, Situ Yu could only bite the bullet and reprimanded Situ Jin: "Okay, Xiao Jin, don't be rude, and let Miss Lin go."

Situ Jin was still a little afraid of his royal brother, so he could only let go when he heard the words, but his expression was very dissatisfied, and he murmured softly: "Obviously Uncle Qi said so."

After speaking, he blinked and looked at Situ Rui, hoping that he could speak, but unfortunately Situ Rui was in a fugue from the beginning to the end, as if he didn't see the farce in front of him.

The blue veins on Lin Hai's forehead were throbbing, he forced himself to calm down, and signaled Daiyu to go back first.Daiyu secretly took a look at her father's expression, and hurriedly supported Banxia's hand and left without mentioning it.

After Daiyu left, Lin Hai turned back to Situ Rui and Situ Yu and said, "I don't know what the two Highnesses are doing in Yangzhou. If you need the cooperation of the lower officials, please give orders. If there is nothing wrong, your highness is honored as soon as possible." It’s good to go back to Beijing.”

Originally, Lin Hai wouldn't be so straightforward, but he was so angry with the farce in front of him that he didn't have the heart to make superficial efforts with them.

Seeing Lin Hai holding back his anger, Situ Rui suddenly laughed out loud, which stunned Lin Hai on the spot.Situ Yu also looked at his uncle with an inexplicable expression, he must be angry!

For a while, the hall could only hear the sound of someone laughing out loud, and after a while, probably enough laughter, Situ Rui stopped his voice and looked at Lin Haidao: "Master Lin, are you chasing me again?"

Although he didn't know why Situ Rui was going crazy again, Lin Hai obviously felt that something was wrong, so he calmly replied: "The prince is joking, how dare I be an official."

The corner of Situ Rui's mouth slightly curled up, "Don't you dare? If this is the case, Mr. Lin shouldn't mind me bothering you for a while?" His eyes fell directly on Lin Hai's body, as if the flames were burning.

With an expression on Lin Hai's face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I welcome you, let's go get ready." After speaking, he left the front hall as if fleeing, leaving behind a stunned Situ Yu and a blinking Situ Jin.

Situ Rui ignored his eldest nephew's questioning eyes, but stretched out his hand to summon Situ Jin to his side and asked with a smile, "Xiao Jin likes this place?"

Situ Jin blinked and smiled and said: "I like it, my sister is very cute, but my sister doesn't seem to like me." Situ Rui touched his head and said lightly: "That's because she doesn't know you, and she will like you when you get to know me better." , since we like it, can we stay here for a while longer?"

Situ Jin smiled happily: "Okay, listen to Uncle Qi."

Watching the conversation between the two, Situ Yu was helpless for a while. Yesterday, his uncle seemed unwilling to stay, but today he changed his mind. It's really hard to guess.Thinking of this, Situ Yu couldn't help sympathizing with Mr. Xia Lin, who was also regarded as his father's confidant, but it's a pity that he offended his own uncle who has a difficult temperament.

Situ Yu is not young, and although he doesn't really understand human affairs, he has heard about it. The fifth emperor's uncle, Prince Zhongshun, is famous for being a man and a woman. He naturally knows the relationship between the two, but he doesn't know his father. The meaning of the emperor, what exactly do you want him to do when you send him down?

Lin Hai left the front hall with anger in his eyes, and he calmed down after walking a long distance. Lin Cheng who had been following him dared to come forward and said, "Master, look?"

The prince and prince said he wanted to stay, did he want to arrange it?Lin Hai glanced at Lin Cheng and said indifferently: "Let someone clean up the plum garden, hurry up, and then invite those inside to live in." After receiving the order, Lin Cheng didn't dare to stay for a long time and was about to go down to prepare.

"and many more."

Lin Cheng hurriedly turned back and waited for orders, Lin Hai pondered for a while and said: "Go and ask Mother Liu to take charge of the plum garden, so as not to be rude."

Lin Hai's tone was very indifferent, but Lin Cheng couldn't help lowering his head even lower, and went to deal with the matter when he was busy.

Looking at Lin Cheng's back in a hurry, Lin Hai's eyes sank.Turning his gaze to the front hall, he sighed for a long time and summoned the servant beside him, "Go ask Mr. Gu to accompany the guests in the front hall, just say that I have something to do, please trouble him." The servant took the order and left.Lin Hai directly left the mansion to go to the Yamen without mentioning it.
