Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

Lin Jingyu frowned and asked, "What do you mean you have chosen someone? Who is it?"

Yan Yang was leaning against the desk, playing with the purse containing the two people's hair, "You will know when the time comes, what's the rush now? You are in an emergency now, so you can't distract yourself."

Lin Jingyu leaned on the flower couch and stabbed him lazily: "If you don't make any moths, I won't be distracted."

As dusk approached, the shadows were scattered, and the sun shone through the screen window on Lin Jingyu's body. She had a graceful figure and picturesque eyes, as if all the brilliance of the world had gathered on one person.With a thought, Yan Yang turned to Lin Jingyu's desk, the paperweight slid across the paper, pressed against the edge, took the pen from the pen holder, and wiped the ink away.

"Speaking of marriage, I would like to ask for a decree." Lin Jingyu half-closed her eyes and said in a slow tone, "When my father was there, I handed over the scriptures to ask my sister to be exempted from the selection of servants. It was approved at that time. A few days ago Princess Rongcheng handed over the sign to enter the palace and has made it clear to the Empress Dowager, my sister can marry on her own from now on, and I want to seek the will of the Tao for her."

Lin Jingyu waited for a long while, but did not see Yan Yang's reaction, so she looked up.Seeing Yanyang standing at the desk writing something, he got up and went over.

"Don't move!" Yan Yang stopped Lin Jingyu with one sentence, and his hands kept moving.

Lin Jingyu lay back down again and asked, "Did you hear what I just said?"

His hands kept moving, Yan Yang was distracted and asked, "Which noble courtyard did you see?"

In Yanyang's eyes, Daiyu's low status was somewhat unworthy of the family that Lin Jingyu fell in love with, so he needed to give him a marriage to add some bargaining chips.

"Naturally, the rules of ordinary people's families are different from yours. We are 'marry a daughter-in-law from a high family, and marry a daughter from a low family'. Although a low marriage loses some face, life is much more comfortable. If you give another decree, this face will be reduced. I've made up for it too." Lin Jingyu felt quite uncomfortable, and asked impatiently, "Are you alright?"

"All right."

Lin Jingyu walked over to have a look, Yan Yang only roughly sketched the posture and figure.The difference between Yan Yang and Jiang Liu can be seen from the painting. Jiang Liu is indulgent and uninhibited, even when painting, he does as he pleases.Yanyang is restrained and stable, and his paintings are carefully arranged everywhere.One is smart and natural, the other is majestic, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Lin Jingyu asked Yan Yang to stand beside the flower couch, Yan Yang leaned on the flower couch with one hand, Lin Jingyu carefully patched Yan Yang onto the painting.

"Just let me know when you both agree." Yan Yang stood upright, with one hand hanging down naturally, as if he was just posing casually.But according to Lin Jingyu's writing, Yan Yang's hand just rested on Lin Jingyu's shoulder.

"If my sister hadn't been picked up by Princess Rongcheng, she should have thanked behind the curtain. Since she is not here, I will thank you on her behalf." Lin Jingyu glanced at Yan Yang, and outlined Yan Yang's posture with a few strokes She came out, "When she was young, she studied under the master for several years. After careful calculation, she is the only female student that the master has accepted."

Among the brothers and sisters of the Lin family, naturally only Lin Jingyu is Xu Wenxiu's serious disciple.But Daiyu had indeed been an observer for several years. Although Lin Jingyu's words were exaggerated, they were not exaggerated.

"I know what you mean. Lingmei and I are from the same school. If you don't want to be preached by your husband, then naturally you can't eat the daughter Hong buried by your father with your own hands."

Even after getting this sentence, Lin Jingyu was not overjoyed, and her hand was still steady when she wrote, "The matter has not yet been decided, why is the girl red or not?"

Guessing that Lin Jingyu had already composed the picture, Yan Yang stood beside Lin Jingyu, took a brush and sketched slowly.Yan Yang painted Lin Jingyu lying on the couch, and Lin Jingyu painted Yan Yang leaning on the flower couch.Yan Yang smiled and said, "If you haven't decided yet, I'll recommend someone to you."

"Who?"

"Liu Jiyuan, you should know each other. In the past when Qingjin wrote a letter, I gave you three pens, two of which are in your house, and the other one is in Liu Jiyuan's hands."

Lin Jingyu's hand trembled, and a drop of ink just landed on Yan Yang's hand.

Of course he knew Liu Jiyuan, the two of them had met in Qiu Wei's examination room before, they had a lot of acquaintances when Qing Jin wrote his letter in the past, and since Mei Shilin went to Beijing, they often made wine and tea.

The situation of Mei Shilin and Liu Jiyuan is very similar, they both came from families of military generals, and they both abandoned martial arts and followed literature.The previous generations of the Mei family and the Liu family were friendships from the battlefield, and the two families were family friends. Mei Shilin and Liu Jiyuan had known each other since childhood.The difference between the two families now is that in the party struggle of the emperor's generation, the Mei family retreated to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to protect themselves, while the Liu family remained as stable as Mount Tai in the capital.

Lin Jingyu regained her composure, and drew the drop of ink into the shape of a purse. "Isn't the Yuan family fighting the Yu family? Why did you drag me into it? There's no such book sold anywhere."

Miss Yuan's family is the niece of Concubine Wan, and the girl from Yu's family who fights with Miss Yuan's family is the second daughter of the Yu family.The eldest daughter of the Yu family is the current noble concubine, and there are only two noble concubines in the current dynasty, one is Jia Yuanchun from the Jia family, and the other is the young lady of the Yu family.Although this imperial concubine was of the same rank as Jia Yuanchun, her waist was much stiffer. Not to mention, the current eldest son of the emperor crawled out of this imperial concubine's stomach.

"What year's old almanac are you looking at? The Yuan family is busy with business right now."

A few days later, it was the day when Concubine Wan returned to the mansion, and the Yuan family really couldn't make up their minds.Lin Jingyu drew the purse completely, it was exactly the style of the purse that Yan Yang used to hold the two people's hair, "You move quickly."

Yan Yang looked at Lin Jingyu's sketch with a pen in his hand, and thought that this was a code word that only the two of them knew, and his heart was instantly filled with veiled excitement, "It can be faster, who would have guessed that Mr. is busy with your business."

"Since the Yuan family has withdrawn from the competition, isn't the matter of the Liu family a certainty?"

Yan Yang's tone was full of sarcasm, "The queen's cousin fell in love with Liu Jiyuan at first sight, and now she is thinner than Huang Hua. That girl is the lifeblood of her old lady. She handed the sign to the queen and cried, what can the queen do? But just come to me."

This is the situation in the harem. Yan Yang was twenty-five years old at the time, and the eldest son was born to Concubine Yu. He was only eleven years old, and he would be able to leave the palace to build a mansion in two years, while the son born by the empress is only enlightened now. .Since his family already has a prince, and he's still a legitimate son, how can he be willing to let the queen's natal family do nothing?

In order to obtain the in-laws of the Liu family, the queen's family didn't even care about the reputation of the daughter's family.But under the dragon chair in the center of the imperial city, I don't know how many bones have been accumulated in the past dynasties, and the reputation of the daughter's family is nothing.

Yan Yang was in his prime, and the people in the backyard were already thinking about the chair he was sitting on, so naturally they felt very uncomfortable.The foreign enemies are still watching from outside the wall, and the inner courtyard is on fire again.Now that the empress's natal family has mixed in, in order to check and balance, Yanyang must choose another family in his direct line to marry the Liu family.

Lin Jingyu's focus is still on the painting, Lin Jingyu thinks it's better not to say this about the party struggle between Yanyang's backyard and the next generation, "What does the Liu family mean?"

Yan Yang said nonchalantly, "We've reached this point, in order not to offend these two families, he must either marry Princess Shang or marry a lowly daughter-in-law."

If Liu Jiyuan is unlearned and incompetent, Princess Shang is no big deal, but Liu Jiyuan abandons martial arts and pursues literature, and the sky is a genius. How can the Liu family be willing to let Liu Jiyuan have only a vain job for the rest of his life, so he can only marry from a humble family? Daughter-in-law.

The Lin family has been in business for a hundred years, and their background is not weak, but the current situation is a little weaker, but Lin Jingyu seems to be quite useful, at most ten years, this one can restore its former glory.Although Daiyu was not taught by the mistress of the house, her two foster nuns came from the palace and had taught the princess. Now that the Lin family is her housekeeper, the education is not bad.Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family is a rare and virtuous woman, so it is natural for her to make up her mind about matters in the house.

After calculation, the Lin family could really catch the eyes of the Liu family.Lin Jingyu suppressed the turbulent mood, and said angrily: "You have a good abacus, who can do it better than you?"

Yan Yang glanced at Lin Jingyu, and scrutinized Lin Jingyu's eyebrows, "I don't want to bear this curse. Yesterday, the empress came to me to complain about it. When I went to court this morning, I delineated a few houses, and yours was also in it. Didn't you Do you have this thought? I'll come over and ask you."

Lin Jingyu didn't speak, it seemed that all her thoughts were on Yan Yang in the painting.

Yan Yang straightened up, turned to ask Lin Jingyu, "What's your plan?"

"Don't be too busy with this matter." Lin Jingyu stopped him after hearing the meaning of Yan Yang's words.If Yanyang issued the imperial decree directly, even if the Lin family was on the list of the Liu family, he would not feel very comfortable.It would be different if they chose it themselves. "Let me think about it."

"Then think slowly."

Lin Jingyu and Yanyang completed the painting carefully, and Yanyang, who was depressed when he came, looked a lot better.Yanyang hung his head until dusk, and only left when he was about to lock the palace door. When he left, he took his purse and the painting with him.Not long after Yanyang left, Daiyu also came back, saying that Tanchun would come to visit the next day.

Lin Jingyu didn't take it to heart, how could he care about it now.When night fell, Lin Jingyu's thoughts became vague.Lin Jingyu went back to the inner study after taking the three sheets that recorded the information of Feng Zijian and the other three.With Liu Jiyuan who was more to his liking, Feng Zijian became a way out.

Lin Jingyu stayed in the inner study until around midnight, and after thinking about several ways, she felt safe, so she rested in the inner study.Early the next morning, he went to Xu's mansion to wait for Xu Wenxiu to leave early.Xu Wenxiu came back to the mansion later than usual, and when he came back, his face was not very good-looking, and he saw Lin Jingyu gouging him several times.

Lin Jingyu smacked her tongue, Yan Yang was not good at this, she moved too fast.Under Xu Wenxiu's glaring gaze, Lin Jingyu told Xu Wenxiu the solution he had thought up last night.After negotiating with Xu Wenxiu, Lin Jingyu remembered that he hadn't put away Feng Zijian's list.

Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I felt nothing.Every time Daiyu entered the inner study, it was always when he was there, if he was not there, she would have to say hello in advance.

After agreeing to Lin Jingyu's words, Xu Wenxiu pointed out Lin Jingyu's homework and beat Lin Jingyu well.

Lin Jingyu returned to the Lin Mansion after having lunch at Xu Wenxiu's, and went straight to the inner study when she returned to the mansion.Since his husband agreed, it should be a sure thing, and then the two nuns were asked to speak to Princess Rongcheng.

As soon as she entered the inner study, Lin Jingyu frowned tightly, the paperweight had been moved, and the pen should not be placed like this.For a literati, nothing is more important than a study.Lin Jingyu didn't have this awareness at first, but after Lin Ruhai realized it, she kept training Lin Jingyu to recognize the importance of the study.

Lin Jingyu put all the letters, account books and books of the Lin family in the outer study, and Shi Shi personally took care of them, and the people who cleaned them were all illiterate girls.Ah Sheng is in charge of the inner study. Although the guarding is not as strict as that of the outer study, the number of people who can enter the inner study is fixed.

Lin Jingyu frowned and asked Xiaotao who was guarding the inner study, "Who has been here?"

Seeing Lin Jingyu's serious face, Xiao Tao was taken aback, "Master, the girl came here, and there was a girl I didn't know, and sister Sheng was there at that time."

Lin Jingyu only felt pain in the brain, Xiaotao was from Lin Jingyu's yard, she had been guarding the study so naturally she didn't know her, but Lin Jingyu knew, Daiyu told him yesterday that Tanchun was coming to the mansion.

"Where is Ah Sheng?"

"Sister Ah Sheng has gone to change clothes." Taking a peek at Lin Jingyu, Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "I'll call her right away."

Lin Jingyu entered the inner study, and the three lists that should have been scattered on the desk were now covered by an open travel journal.

Thinking about coming to Tanchun, he should be sent by Jia Mu. It would be best to ease the relationship, and if not, it would be better to grab the handle.

Lin Jingyu leaned back on the chair with her eyes closed, and let out a long breath slowly.
