Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Emperor Longqing's reason may sound really weird, and facing such a weird reason, the new imperial examination candidate must also be very depressed. He must have never thought that one day his appearance would become His hindrance.

But even the emperor has already decided, there is no way to change it, no matter how depressed he is, he can only accept it.As for the other ministers, they were already quite accustomed to Emperor Longqing's ingenuity sometimes, and no one was surprised even when faced with such a bizarre reason, let alone came out to oppose it.

Speaking of which, these ministers in the court were still very conniving towards Emperor Longqing. Although they were not as obedient to the emperor as the Hubu Shangshu, as long as it was not a major matter, they would never jump out to oppose it.

The Emperor Longqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a bit like the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. They are not very particular about rules and some willful emperors, but they have a big picture.Although it was a bit of a great achievement, most of the money was spent by the courtiers. Since they didn't waste too much money, it was considered pretty good for an emperor.

After all, even Kangxi, who is known as the emperor of the ages, is a little overjoyed when he reaches old age. The number of those southern tours added up is probably quite a lot.

When Qianlong was young, he was raised by Kangxi's side for a period of time. It is hard to say that he was not influenced by Kangxi's style in the later period.

The words are a bit off, in short, no matter what the reason is, it is a happy thing to be promoted.As everyone knows, some people have stayed in the seventh-rank officials for several years. It is already a rare thing for Lin Xuan to be promoted to the seventh-rank officials not long after entering the court.

For a while, even the extremely resistant attitude towards this marriage has eased a lot. It seems that in everything there is a loss, there is a gain. Although a lot is lost, at least a lot is gained.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed like this, and the wedding date agreed between the Lin family and Prince Qin's mansion was coming soon.As Lin Xuan's wedding was approaching, the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy thoughtfully took the initiative to lighten Lin Xuan's workload, although there was not much of it.In addition, some time ago, the affairs in the mansion were almost arranged, and Shen Shuang could completely handle the remaining matters. In this way, Lin Xuan was even more relaxed.

Two days before the wedding, Lin Xuan thought about it, and went to his immediate superior to ask for a marriage. That old Hanlin was also a straightforward person. Of course, it was also possible that he was looking at the face of Lin Ruhai and King Qin, but no matter what How to put it, at least half a month of marriage can be regarded as a hand.

After discussing with Huang Chang, Fang Yan and others, after they would accompany him to welcome the bride, Lin Xuan sorted out his things and clothes in the Imperial Academy, and then went home relaxed.

It was already evening when Lin Xuan came back. He didn't rest immediately, but went to the side hall. It was just when the sun was setting, and the blush outside the window shone into the room, giving it a different kind of beauty.

Lin Xuan sat leisurely by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside quietly. It seems that since he came to the capital and lived in this courtyard, he seldom recited poems and enjoyed the beautiful scenery quietly like before. .

Since entering the capital, Lin Xuan seems to be in a state of tension, first the imperial examinations related to his own destiny, and then the work of the Imperial Academy.He deals with all kinds of people every day, he is always busy, but sometimes he doesn't know what he is busy with.

It seems that all his actions are out of his control, and he always feels that there is a red thread in the dark that is pulling him tightly, making him keep walking.

Lin Xuan's eyes were dull, he didn't know where he was looking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he sighed faintly, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, as if he had endless melancholy in his heart.

This kind of behavior looks very elegant, but in fact, how can Lin Xuan have so much melancholy, he has always been very adaptable, not to mention that his current life is not very good, if he has melancholy in such a life , the ordinary people, the broad masses of the people simply don't want to live.

Lin Xuan is like this now, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just that fan of the literary youth in his bones. I don’t know when he appeared again. He wanted to follow the example of the ancients and began to feel sad for the moon. Oh no, it seems that the moon has not yet come out. Well, even if it is said, it can only be said to be sad for Japan.

"Master, Miss Su Yan is here..."

Just when Lin Xuan was looking outside, his heart was in a mess and he didn't know what he was thinking, the voice of Lin Xuan's personal servant Lin Yan sounded outside the door of the side hall.

Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't thought that Su Yan would come here at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, he soon understood that he had been busy with various things during this time, and he hadn't seen Su Yan for a while. Seeing you, plus he is going to get married soon, Su Yan must be feeling uneasy.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan put a smile on his face: "Let her in."

As Lin Xuan's personal servant, Lin Yan naturally knew that Su Yan still had a certain status in Lin Xuan's heart.Therefore, as a favored concubine, even though Lin Xuan had ordered that no one was allowed to come in, he still had the courage to inform her.It wasn't until he heard Lin Xuan's voice that Lin Yan felt relieved. It seemed that he had done nothing wrong.

Su Yan opened the door lightly, because he didn't know whether Lin Xuan's mood was good or bad, so Su Yan stepped lightly.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Xuan took advantage of the situation to look over. Su Yan was still the same as when Lin Xuan first met. Obviously, nearly a year would not cause any obvious changes in her.She is still so enchanting and graceful, with a charming smile, bright eyes looking forward, all kinds of seductive amorous feelings, which makes people admire.

When she came, Fang Ru seemed to have been dressed up carefully, and she was lightly dabbed with powder and daisy to add to her beauty.

However, compared with the previous period, there were some changes after all, his figure became thinner, and the face under Fen Dai was also a little paler.

Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart. To be honest, Lin Xuan has always had a very good attitude towards his women, especially the ones he loves.Not to mention that Su Yan is still his relatively capable subordinate, and he still needs Su Yan to do many things. As the saying goes, are talents rare, especially such talents who are not afraid of betraying themselves, so they should not be missed.

Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to be in a good mood, Su Yan's eyes flashed, and he walked lightly, came to sit next to Lin Xuan, and said with a soft smile: "The young master is really in such a rare mood, how about letting Yan'er accompany the young master for a few drinks?" ?”

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Yan with great interest, with a smile on his face: "Okay, drinking alone will inevitably be a bit depressing, if Yan'er can accompany me to drink a few cups, it would be great."

Although the big wedding is about to happen, there is no doubt that something will happen at this time, but just a few glasses of wine, I think it will not be a problem.

Hearing what Lin Xuan said, Su Yan smiled even more charmingly, her eyes seemed to overflow with light. She glanced at the dishes on the table, picked up the pot of wine, and poured a glass for Lin Xuan and herself.

Lin Xuan smiled lightly and picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down. Su Yan refilled another glass for him with a smile. Then, he put down the wine pot in his hand, leaned his head on Lin Xuan's shoulder, and hugged Lin Xuan. Xuan's arms and body were trembling slightly, as if there was a great uneasiness hidden in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

Seeing Su Yan like this, Lin Xuan sighed softly. With rich experience, he naturally understands that Su Yan is like this now. I am afraid that only one-third of it is true. Maybe Su Yan also understands that it is impossible for her to deceive Lin Xuan. of.

But there is no way, whoever asked Lin Xuan to take this trick, think about it, a beautiful woman leaning so helplessly and pitifully in your arms, as long as he is a normal man, I am afraid there is no one who will not be moved, let alone Said that Lin Xuan really liked Su Yan very much.For Su Yan's little thought, Lin Xuan can understand and understand, in fact, if it is possible, Lin Xuan himself is not willing to marry a person he has never met.But the rules of this era are like this, and it is impossible for him to break it alone.Since Lin Xuan wants to live in this era, he must abide by the rules of this era, and those who break the rules usually have no good end.

Lin Xuan understands this truth, and Su Yan understands it even more. She will never be so stupid as to tell Lin Xuan not to marry a wife, because it is simply impossible.A smart woman should seize the opportunity at this time, and win the sympathy of men is the real thing. In this era, women always exist dependent on men.

Lin Xuan stroked Su Yan's hair slowly, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I heard that Princess Fuya is a gentle and magnanimous person, even after entering the door, I don't think he will embarrass you too much. Don't worry too much."

After a pause, looking at the person in his arms, Lin Xuan made a promise again: "After Princess Fuya gives birth to the eldest son, I will definitely give you a child. At that time, I will leave you alone An industry, so that you will have something to rely on in the future."

Su Yan raised her head instantly, and looked at Lin Xuan's slightly moist eyes. Since she was young, no one seemed to have thought so much about her.Regardless of whether Lin Xuan's thoughts will change in the future, at least at this moment she can see that Lin Xuan's words are sincere, and for Su Yan, this is enough.

Su Yan had no father or mother since she was a child, and was sold by human traffickers, and even sold to a brothel, where she became a prostitute. She was probably the only one who was tortured and abused there, and how many hardships she suffered during the period. Only then can you know.When other people's children are still married to their parents, she needs to learn all kinds of things and think about her own future.

No one would know how terrified she was before meeting Lin Xuan. In fact, she got used to the torture and abuse she suffered in those years in the brothel.What she is most afraid of is that she will not be able to escape the fate of all brothel women. For a little money, she will let those men she doesn't know humiliate and play with, force her face to laugh, greet her and send her off, and in the end, both her body and her soul will be dirty. Numb until old and fading, abandoned, lonely, and despised by others, giving everything for a lifetime, but not getting a little bit of what belongs to him...

When I met Lin Xuan that day, it was actually her deadline. After that day, she would officially leave the cabinet, and she would be bought and sold like a commodity without any dignity.That's why when she met Lin Xuan that day, she showed herself so desperately, hoping that Lin Xuan could redeem her body, even if it was just to be a humble housemaid, it would be better than staying in the brothel and being trampled by others.

And since being redeemed by Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan's tenderness and consideration have penetrated into Su Yan's heart little by little. In Su Yan's heart, Lin Xuan is no longer as simple as the object of use in her eyes at the beginning. .
