Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Lin Ruhai read the signature on the letter, and said in surprise, "Third Prince?"

"Daddy and Prince Zhongshun are planning to support the third prince, right?" Chongyu knew about Lin Ruhai and Prince Zhongshun's plan.It was also because of this that after he saw the signature on the letter, he didn't immediately choose to find a way to ask Wei Ruolan to leave, but accepted the letter, and even prepared to bring Wei Ruolan to see Lin Ruhai.

"It's him." Lin Ruhai nodded, "I never thought that the Wei family would have come together with him."

Wei Ruolan has a very high status among the younger generation of the Wei family. If there is no accident, the person who will succeed the head of the Wei family in the future will definitely be Wei Ruolan.Since Wei Ruolan personally delivered the letter, there must be a shadow of the Wei family behind it.

Ru Hai glanced at the content of the letter, thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that the third prince wants to give you a chance."

Although Chongyu smiled along with him, his expression quickly turned cold.

"If he really just wanted to give me a chance, why didn't he come sooner? When Baoyu came, did Wei Ruolan come? Besides, it's fine if daddy and him can agree on this matter. If they don't I'm afraid that this letter he gave me is not a chance, but a disaster!"

"Not necessarily." Ru Hai shook his head, "It doesn't matter what happens between me and him, you just do what you want. It's not a big deal even if you take advantage of things like this."

"I have no shame in my heart, but I am not the only one in this world!" Chongyu looked a little colder, "If I am really as he said in his letter, I will sell it at a high price to those who want to build provincial homes. Some rare treasures, and even provoke them to compare with each other before selling them, as long as I do it, those few families will know that I am using tricks!"

"Although they have some places to fight over the matter of the daughter in the palace, if someone else uses tricks on them, how can they not unite first? Besides, there is another family here that is my grandfather's family. If I really want to If I do this, no one else will know about it, but once people know about it, I am not the only one who will become the target of Wan Fu."

If he was accused by outsiders, how could Lin Ruhai, a father, escape?

"Furthermore, although Dad is not very close to those families now, they are in a state of non-interference. If they know what I have done in these matters, it will have a big impact on Dad's affairs." influence."

"The third prince wants someone to deliver a letter at this time, isn't he just looking at me, a child, who still doesn't read a good book, and tries to make money early. He just wants to deceive me. , but control the more important official career in his hands?"

"We are still on good terms with him, so he won't tell the story. Once we have a disagreement and he announces it, we will have no place to stand. He sent this letter so calculatedly!"

Ru Hai nodded and asked with a smile: "Then tell me again, why does he still want to send a letter at this time, knowing that our father and son can see this?"

Chongyu bowed his head and sighed sadly: "There is no other reason, there is no other choice."

Today's Holy Majesty only has two sons, about the same age, neither of them are too young.At present, there have been no newborns in the harem for many years, let alone a newborn prince.There are only two that the Lin family can support, either the crown prince or the third prince.But the crown prince's biological mother, the queen, was born in the Beijing palace, so how could the Lin family really vote for the crown prince?For this reason, the third prince is an inevitable choice for the Lin family.

"And..." Chongyu suddenly raised his head and said, "He is also impatient. He saw Baoyu coming, and he was afraid that Baoyu would bring Yuanchun's meaning and let us turn to the prince. After all, we have not talked with him before. He has any contact, even if there is any place to communicate, it is only through Prince Zhongshun, he is also afraid that we will choose the Jia family because of our relationship with the Jia family."

"It's just that he acted like this, but it made me feel a little chilled." Chongyu shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't do these things for him from the beginning."

Just to solve those nobles who have been sucking blood from ordinary people, and to prepare for their own future by the way.

Lin Ruhai is not someone who likes to cheat in officialdom, and neither is Chongyu.But if they had to do such a thing, the two of them would never do it badly.

"You still missed one point." Lin Ruhai smiled, "He just wants to show his recklessness in front of us on purpose. Although I have known Prince Zhongshun since childhood and can be trusted, he is not like this to me. He wants to test We also want to make me feel that he is still young, so his scheming is just like that."

Chongyu was startled.

He never thought of this weight.

"Okay, you go and bring Wei Ruolan here. Some things can only be confirmed after talking to Wei Ruolan. As for the business side, you can do it as you see fit."

Although Chongyu also said just now that as long as he cooperates with the third prince, there will be many threats. Even if they have a handle to fall into the hands of the third prince, the Lin family must only choose the support of the third prince, and the third prince will not want to marry him for no reason. Use these excuses to deal with your own people.Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you use this method or not to provoke a few noble families to compare.

"Over there?" Chongyu had already made up his mind, "Since someone sent me a way to make money, I would be too sorry for them if I didn't do it. Besides, these families can be regarded as belonging to the Eastern Palace faction. If they fight and fight, if there is any cooperation in the future, they may still fight among themselves, so why not do it?"

Ru Hai nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

Since he told Chongyu to let go of these things, naturally he would not ask Chongyu to change his mind.What's more, what Chongyu said was also in line with his wishes.

In Chongyu's study, Wei Ruolan and Xue Biao were chatting.

It's just that as time passed, Wei Ruolan gradually lost her mind in the study.

He frequently looked at the closed door, how could Xue Biao not notice?

He wanted to talk to Wei Ruolan about the expensive ornaments to be prepared, but now he shut his mouth tactfully and concentrated on calling Wei Ruolan to drink tea.

Just when Wei Ruolan was about to lose his tea, the door was finally pushed open.

Wei Ruolan got up quickly, and it was indeed Chongyu who came back!

By the time Wei Ruolan left the Lin family, it was already night.When he came, he came alone, but when he went, he left with Baoyu.

Although the Wei family has secretly turned to the third prince, they are still close to the four princes and eight princes on the surface.Wei Ruolan behaved like this, in the eyes of outsiders, it means that he is actually the Lin family who went after Baoyu.

A few days ago, although Baoyu had met with many princes from aristocratic families who had close contacts with him, he only got together with Xue Pan, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, Qin Zhong and other people who had been close friends with him before, and did not accept invitations from unfamiliar people. .Wei Ruolan had little contact with Baoyu in the past, so sometimes Ningrong and Rongfu had banquets, and maybe they could see each other once or twice at the banquet.There is nothing puzzling about Wei Ruolan's effort to make friends with Baoyu.

Xiqiong courtyard.

Daiyu is in Baochai's room, and together with Baochai, they are carefully reading the poems written by everyone in Today's Poetry Society.

Yingchun and Xichun have been with Chen Xiaosheng these days, and although they have also learned a lot of poetry, they don't like it that much, especially Yingchun, who is even less interested in these, so they are still in charge of writing questions and limiting rhymes. , Transcript supervision field.The final transcribed poems are only ready to be placed in the study room. When there are more poems in the society, it is better to get a few poetry collections, so that everyone in the society can keep each one.

After finishing the poem today, there are actually similarities, but after all, there are so many people, and Baochai also cares about the face of the other sisters, so it's inconvenient for them to say what is wrong with their writing.When Baoyu came, he also wrote poems with him, and in the end it was Baoyu's poem at the end.Now only Baochai and Daiyu are in the room, so they can talk freely.

The final draft of the poem is transcribed according to the ranked order.

Daiyu directly turned to the last poem written by Baoyu, and after reading it for a long time, Fang smiled and said, "It is said that Baoyu's poem is worse than that of the sisters, but I think he did it on purpose. Just read this poem. There are quite a few gaps with what he usually writes."

After not hearing Baochai's answer for a long time, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at the person beside her.

But Baochai was lost in thought.

Daiyu just wanted to call her, when she became playful, and quietly stretched out her hand to scratch Baochai's nest.

How could Baochai be prepared?Being scratched by her, she was startled and laughed at the tickle, how could she still look stable and dignified in the usual days?

Seeing her like this, Daiyu became more and more interested, and the trouble became too much, and almost her whole body leaned towards Baochai.

On the other hand, Ying'er and Zijuan, who were waiting by the side, were quite worried when they saw this, for fear that the two girls might fall off if they made too much noise.

Baochai was also unprepared at first, only to be touched and scratched by Daiyu for a while, and gradually she came to her senses, but it was she who made a fuss of Daiyu who couldn't help but laugh and beg for mercy.

Baochai had had enough trouble, so Fang let Daiyu go and sat down in front of the mirror to fix the hair that had been messed up during the play.

Daiyu leaned over and sat down beside her, and while watching Baochai dressing up, she asked with a smile, "What was my sister thinking about before? She was so engrossed in thinking about it?"

Zicuckoo came over in a hurry to fix Daiyu's hair.

Hearing Daiyu's question, Baochai paused.

The playful smile just now had all faded from Baochai's face.

"I should have told you about this earlier."

Daiyu hurriedly sat down.

"But what happened?"

She was only afraid that these things had something to do with Xue Pan, because Xue Pan made some noise outside, which made Baochai feel sad.

But Baochai sighed softly: "It's Yun'er. Didn't someone from Yun'er's family come to visit her two days ago? At that time we thought it was her family who wanted to take her back to stay for a few days. Just go back and leave her here."

When Baochai said this, Daiyu also remembered, and was even more at a loss: "There is such a thing. Could it be that Yun'er's family misses her and only asks people to come and see her?"

People from Jia's house often came to greet the girls. The Shi family didn't come often, but it was by no means that Xiangyun was sent to the Lin's house and ignored, so Daiyu didn't take this matter to heart before.

Baochai's expression was a bit more complicated.

"Yun'er's family misses her, but what they miss the most is her marriage."

Daiyu was startled.

marriage?

The word wasn't that far from her either.

After returning to the Lin family, although she had no chance to hear the saying of a golden marriage, how could she forget what she had remembered before?

But looking at Baochai, Aunt Xue and others, it seems that they don't take this matter to heart now, and she doesn't want to worry about it anymore.

But now, Baochai told her about Xiangyun's marriage?

The golden unicorn that Xiangyun carried on her body before seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.
