[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Ye house.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was lying on a chair under the lush camphor tree.Pale complexion, sluggish eyes, a few spots of snow in the black hair on the temples.

Ye He's eyes were gloomy. Back then, she was also one of the most beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was once the most beautiful woman in the world, but what about now?Beauty is late, probably so.However, it wasn't just her face that had decayed, but her body as well.That unstoppable cough seemed to be able to carve out the lungs.

Ye He tightened his grip on the medicine bag, and stepped forward, "Mother!"

Mother Ye turned her head, her eyes gradually glowed, and the corners of her mouth were filled with joy, "I'm back!"

"Yeah! I took a few medicines for my mother and bought some candy. My mother can't eat more, but I asked the imperial doctor to taste a few mouthfuls. It doesn't matter." Ye He handed the eight treasure box and the medicine bag to the side The servant girl said, "Go down and make medicine, I am here! No one is allowed to come in without orders."

This courtyard is also on the east side of the house, because Ye Mu has a lot of body and needs to rest.Therefore, the servants did not summon, and generally did not come to disturb.Quiet, deserted.

The maid bowed and stepped back.Ye Mu frowned lightly, "Is it the medicine given by the Fifth Prince?"

Ye He didn't answer.But Mother Ye already knew the answer, even if it wasn't given by the fifth prince, it was supposed to be the fifth prince's prescription, which was taken in the fifth prince's shop.Or the eldest prince.it's the same.

Mother Ye trembling her mouth, clutching Ye He's wrist tightly, her voice filled with infinite pleading, "Does it have to be like this? If...if they know you... He'er, don't, don't continue. Mother... ...Mother only wants you to live a good life!"

"Alive?" Ye He sneered, his eyes became darker a little bit, "Live as humiliatingly as before, being bullied everywhere?"

Mother Ye was startled, her eyes dimmed, "It's mother...it's mother who is sorry for you. Mother can't give you a good background."

Ye He was stunned, did she blame her?It's weird!If it wasn't for her bad background, he wouldn't have been tainted since he was born.But in order to raise her, she tried her best and sacrificed a lot.In order to prevent him from living in such an environment, she spent all her savings to obtain a new household registration, and came to the capital to start again.

But the so-called new life is so easy!Even if no one knows what she used to do.But he is still a child whose father is unknown.Mother had no means of earning a living except to be popular.Even if she tried her best to learn how to do it, she embroidered for others and worked for others.

However, their life is still very tight.He was also bullied and humiliated from time to time.

"Crane!"

Mother Ye grabbed Ye He again, and the look in her eyes became more and more guilty. Ye He was very contradictory, and sometimes he would think, if his mother was not from such a background, if his mother was also the daughter of everyone, how good it would be?Even ordinary women are better than her.

Because of this, he wished more than once that he never had such a mother.But every time he thinks of what Ye Mu has done for him in these years, he can't bear it and can't bear it.

Ye He took a deep breath, and finally held Ye Mu's hand instead: "Mother, rest at ease and recuperate. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing!"

Mother Ye opened her mouth and shook her head, "How can I not worry about it! You were born to me, and you are the only concern in my life. What if... what if I fail? Who are they? The prince, the prince, If they find you..."

Ye He frowned and shook his hand away, "What kind of people are they? What about me? Am I worse than them?"

What about the prince?It's all the same, so why are these princes able to stand tall now, while he has to live in the mud!

"No! No! Mom didn't mean that! Mom was just afraid, afraid...it's all me, blame me! I shouldn't have brought you to the capital!"

Even if you want to leave your old place and go to a new place where no one knows, you don't have to go north, it doesn't have to be the capital.It's just that the person told her back then that he was from the capital and lived in the capital.She wanted to help Ye He find his biological father, recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, so that the child could have someone to rely on.

But she spent a lot of effort and couldn't find it for many years.But just when she gave up, those people came to her door!Only then did she realize that Mr. Ye, who spent the past and month with her back then, was so noble.

If she had known that things would become what they are today, she would rather take Ye He far away.For a lifetime, no one will know.

"He'er! Mother doesn't want you to end up miserable!"

Ye He chuckled, "Mother! I don't want to live the old life again. Since I have such a convenient status and they are willing to help me, why don't I give it a try? Even if I lose, I will have a good time. What's more, the matter has only just begun, so who can be sure that I will definitely lose?"

A loud bang.

Ye He turned his head, and saw the girl Caiwei standing not far away.

She fell to her knees with a plop, "Servant... this servant didn't do it on purpose. The servant just thought that the medicine would have to be boiled for a while, but Madam coughed badly, so she made the Xueli Chuanbei soup first, and couldn't hold it firmly. That's how it spilled."

Ye He's expression flickered, Mother Ye was shocked, and grabbed Ye He with both hands, "No, don't! Caiwei has been serving me with all her heart these days."

Ye He didn't move.Mother Ye gritted her teeth and whispered to her ears, "We talk in a low voice. She just arrived, so she shouldn't have heard anything?"

"Should? Mother sure?"

Mother Ye opened her mouth, unable to answer.

Ye He stood up, grabbed Caiwei's neck from behind with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with the other.But seeing her body struggling continuously, after a while, the sound gradually disappeared.

Mother Ye trembled all over, looking at Ye He like this, she didn't seem to recognize her.The body went limp little by little.

Ye He looked very calm, and turned his head and said lightly, "Mother should know what will happen to me if she spreads a single word. Mother, I can't afford to bet."

Mother Ye closed her eyes and wept, she nodded slightly.She understood, of course she understood.How can a servant girl compare with her own son?That's all!

********

Lin House.

Lin Huai passed on the news, "The Ye family's affairs are simple. There are only two masters and not many servants. There are a total of ten or so. They also perform their duties on weekdays, and nothing has happened. A few days ago, I was serving Ye The wife's girl suddenly fell into the water and died.

There is no one around Mrs. Ye, and Ye He intends to promote her.One of the two people that the uncle asked to insert in before was clever and took the opportunity to take the position.

According to her, she once secretly went to see the dead girl's body, thinking of the friendship between the sisters in the past, to burn some paper and give it away.But unexpectedly found that the girl said she fell into the water, but there were strangle marks on her neck, and then she found scratches on Ye He's arm that looked like a woman's fingernails.

The girl who died had no father or mother, and no one collected her body.It was Ye He who made the decision and got buried.This matter was never mentioned again. "

Lin Ruhai opened the fire folder, burned the note, and said, "Do you know, sir?"

"Never!"

"Then there's no need to talk about it! In case he gets distracted and refuses to study. Over there, you should send an order to the Ye family. It's still the same sentence that the uncle said. Be careful and don't rush in."

"Yes!"

After the confession, Lin Ruhai paused, and couldn't help asking again, "You came to me directly when you got the letter, but the uncle is not here?"

What Lin Yan confessed, if he was there, Lin Huai would at least send someone to call Lin Yan to talk with him, even if he didn't tell Lin Yan first.

"The uncle went out of the mansion, and he said that he had an appointment with Prince Ning to meet at Yipin Teahouse. The uncle also said that if the old man asked, he would say that he agreed with you for one month. He may be like this for the next year and a half." It's been a good month."

Lin Ruhai sneered, shook his head and waved his hands, "Forget it, you go down!"

Yipin Tea House.

"The glass production process has matured day by day, and glass products have a relatively stable sales route. There shouldn't be any problems above, but there are some problems. If you don't need to do anything, the people below can solve them, especially I can't use it anymore.

As for the chamber of secrets.I have also confessed that the drawings and materials are all sorted out.The areas that need to be improved during the production process are marked one by one.People over there will understand.

Then there is this tea house.Management is your specialty, so I don't need to say more.The only thing is, find a few people who are good at writing and good at telling stories, and let them write story books.Write it out for you to look over, select novel content, and hand it to the storyteller with sincere feelings.To maintain the audibility of storytelling stories in the teahouse, this is to be created as a highlight of the teahouse.

In addition, I have three volumes of scriptures here.You don't have to take it out all at once, you just ask the storyteller to tell you a book every once in a while. "

Situ Yue took it over and took a look, only to see "The Palace of Eternal Life", "Wangjiang Pavilion" and "The Female Number One Scholar Citing the Phoenix Gets the Phoenix" written on the cover.He was not enthusiastic in the conversation book, and he didn't open it to read it. He answered and frowned, "Are you really planning to leave it alone?"

"It's not that I don't care about it at all. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be so free."

"Then what about your hot pot restaurant?"

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and looked over, Situ Yue coughed a little guilty, "Then what, didn't you say you wanted to open a hot pot shop, and you dragged me to help you look at the store?"

Ah.If you want to please yourself, let yourself get rid of the previous anger, just say it!

But Lin Yan is not really so stingy, "Look at it first. It's only the beginning of July, and it's still early in winter, so don't worry. If you fancy something that is suitable, help me order it. I will choose it by then. In charge, I will leave the business plan to you. If you help me a lot in the early stage, it will be fine in the later stage."

Situ Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it just didn't matter that he betrayed him in front of Situ Kun back then!It didn't matter that he was ordering him around again, and he was quite happy for the first time.

It can be seen that he looked rather bored, and couldn't help joking, "Father has decided to use the national debt plan you mentioned, how is your article going?"

Lin Yan's expression changed, and he wrote seven or eight articles, all of which were beaten back by Lin Ruhai.Headache!

"I heard from the third brother that the emperor's intention is to ask Mr. Lin to write a letter. He discusses it with the courtiers, and then orders it to be published. Mr. Lin will be in charge, and the third brother will assist."

At the end, Situ Yue seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Of course, Father also considers Mr. Lin's health, so he will let the third brother take care of it, and for such a big matter, he will send many people to help, and let the six departments help and facilitate it." Yes. Master Lin, take the lead, after all, your Lin family made this thing."

In this way, the matter is settled.In this way, his article should be written quickly.

It's just that his father took the title and became the master?The prince became an assistant?Is this primary or secondary messed up?Or is the emperor implying something?

Situ Yue rolled his eyes and said this, "Third brother asked me to ask you, what does Master Lin mean?"

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "I don't know! Since my father didn't say anything, let the Third Highness maintain the status quo. Just my father, that old fox? There are so many twists and turns in his stomach, the ghost knows what he means !"

"You don't know either?"

Lin Yan sighed, "Our family has always been that when I lift my tail, my father will know what I want to do. But every time I guess him, I can guess six or seven times out of ten at most, not necessarily all of them."

Situ Yue chuckled, and glanced at the back of Lin Yan's buttocks, "Why didn't I realize that you have a tail?"

Lin Yan stared and kicked over.Situ Yue hurriedly raised his hand to stop, "I'm not joking with you, let me tell you something serious. I got a new piece of news, it's related to you. Do you want to hear it?"

"If you have something to say, hurry up and let your fart go!"

The tone was terrible.Situ Yue originally wanted to whet his appetite, but he lost face all of a sudden.

"The matter of Nan'an Wang's family. Do you remember the Huo County Lord?"

Lin Yan nodded, remember, really remember it!

"I heard that she was beaten a bit hard by the King of Nan'an at the beginning, and it was good to raise her for a month or two. But she was locked up again and locked in the house. I was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble again. The king made a few fights, but unfortunately it didn't work. Later, the old concubine of Nan'an Wang went to the palace to beg the queen mother, and wanted the queen mother to marry you and County Lord Huo."

Lin Yan was stunned. Could it be that the old concubine is out of her mind?The emperor accepted his marriage in the Golden Luan Hall, saying that he wanted to pass the time.In other words, it revealed that the marriage had already been arranged, and that he would grant the marriage.Let the empress dowager fight against the emperor?

Although the queen mother is the queen mother, she is not the emperor's biological mother.But these years, the Queen Mother has lived peacefully, and almost always lives in her own palace to enjoy the blessings, occasionally chanting scriptures.The emperor is naturally willing to be filial, and there are good stories about the filial piety of mothers and sons in and out of the palace.

Situ Yue chuckled, "The queen mother is not stupid. How could she make such an edict? She would not use such bullshit to displease the emperor and ruin the current relationship between mother and child. The old concubine Nan'an was disappointed. return.

But this matter was made known to King Nan'an.The king of Nan'an was afraid that one big and one small in the family would not stop, so he would make a big mess.A few days ago, I heard that Huo Xianzhu had been betrothed to a general in the south of Lingnan.It seems that they are still the former subordinates of King Nan'an! "

Speaking of this, Situ Yue came over with a smile, "I also heard that the old concubine of Nan'an Wang disagreed, and the Lord Huo County did not agree. But Nan'an Wang even changed Geng's post before saying it. It's busy!"

Lin Yan squinted, "You have time to watch jokes, why don't you think about the intention of King Nan'an marrying Huo Ling to Lingnan."

Situ Yue rolled his eyes, "It's Sima Zhao's heart, what's the point? Don't you need to think about it? Father and Third Brother have to worry about these things, and I don't need them!"

"That's true. And with your brain, you can't do it!"

Situ Yue's face darkened instantly.Lin Yan jumped up before he had an attack, and was about to run, but was caught by him.

I saw Situ Yue whispering, "I can tell you, Father is going to hunt in autumn. It's probably not next month, it's next month. If you don't want to be locked up in the room every day to study, you can ask me. I can Talk to father. Let him take you. Now father treats third brother and me pretty well. Sometimes what I say is better than third brother. "

Lin Yan looked at him, "The emperor wants Qiushou?"

Situ Yue was even more proud, "Of course. Father just told me today!"

"The emperor can say why? After all, the emperor has not hunted for two years."

"It's because I haven't been hunting for two years, so I want to test whether I'm not old. More importantly, I want to take this opportunity to try your bows/arrows, bows/crossbows."

This is to make these things public.So the next step is to fight?Lin Yan thought about it, but he heard Situ Yue yelling again: "Think carefully about how to beg my master, please listen to me first!"

As soon as he lifted his foot, Erlang crossed his legs, and raised his wine glass, full of ruffian flavor, how proud and proud he looked.

Lin Yan only felt that his IQ was not on the same level as his. How could he have made such a stupid friend, and sighed: "Do you think the emperor wants to use Qiushou to test the things I made? Will you call me?" ?"

Situ Yue paused just as he reached the wine glass to his mouth, and looked at Lin Yan with a dazed face.

Lin Yan smiled cleverly, "The bow/arrow battalion is for practice. But the princes and ministers really go hunting. Even if I have a specially made boutique version that can aim at the bow/arrow, I am afraid that with your ability, It may not be able to beat others.

What's more, this animal's fur is the most rare, if you use a bow/arrow and hurt the skin, it's not easy to take it back to please the concubine Xian.You might as well think about how to come and beg me to give you a way to hunt animals without hurting the fur. "

Situ Yue was even more confused, how could the situation of the two of them have changed in just one or two sentences?He raised his eyes and looked over, "Do you have a way?"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, "Of course!"

"What way?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "If I don't tell you now, I may have to ask the imperial physician for help. Let's talk about it later! Since the emperor is going to deal with the national debt soon, I'm afraid I don't have the time to spare now."

There are still articles not written yet!Why!Hands/crossbows are available though.He made some changes and played around with it during hunting. It is not a new thing, nor is it a great gadget, let alone a great one. It's not a violation of the agreement with Lin Ruhai.It should be fine.

Lin Yan patted his buttocks, took two steps outside, but stopped, and turned back to ask: "You just said that the emperor treats you differently? You speak a lot better?"

"Correct!"

Lin Yan laughed, looked Situ Yue up and down for a long time, and said: "If you believe me, you can be more presumptuous in front of the empress. Just pay attention to proportion, don't go too far."

Situ Yue was stunned, but did not recover.

"Do you know why I told His Highness the Third Highness that the Emperor actually longs for the affection between father and son?"

"You mean to say?"

"Yes! Didn't you realize that every time you talk about me and my father, the emperor is always very happy, and he is very itchy to intervene, happily letting my father beat me?"

Maybe Situ Kun hadn't thought about it before, and he couldn't think about it.Because the position of the crown prince is unknown, and he has not made up his mind to establish a crown prince, too much love for a certain prince at this time will make the three-legged situation unbalanced.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have desires in his heart.Even after seeing the father and son of Lin Ruhai's family who had a good friendship with him, this desire will become stronger.He would find this feeling in Lin Ruhai and Lin Yan, and he would naturally want to transfer this feeling to his son.

Previously, he asked the third prince to work hard to be a filial son who cared about his father, and the effect was there.But with the character of the third prince, he couldn't escape him.And if you want to be an emperor, you can't escape like this.He must be calm and capable of taking on great responsibilities.

But Situ Yue can!

Situ Yue looked at Lin Yan, stared, and gritted his teeth, "Let me provoke my father to chase and beat me like you, you might as well kill me!"

Lin Yan's head is full of black lines, why did he deliberately ask for a beating!

"You and His Royal Highness are one. If you win the Sacred Heart, the Emperor will take it into consideration in the selection of the reserve position. The Emperor will not easily decide the successor of the country because of his love.

But he is also a human being, a father, and he will still have the feelings that a father should have.These cannot be decisive items, but can become bonus items.If you can't figure it out, you can go back and talk to His Highness the Third Highness and discuss it! "

After speaking, Lin Yan walked away without looking back.Situ Yue was left alone with a lot of entanglement in his mind. Thinking of Lin Ruhai and Lin Yan's way of getting along, he just wanted to shout out Lin Yan's catchphrase: I don't want to lose face!

Thinking of having to kneel in the ancestral hall on New Year's Eve, especially Lin Yan's paralyzed appearance on the bed after being beaten, Situ Yue shivered.He really wants to help third brother, but he really can't do it like this, what should we do!

On the street, Lin Yan raised his eyes.

Situ Kun is not Lin Ruhai, he longs for the affection between father and son, but he may not be like Lin Ruhai.The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, and if he wants to maintain his majesty, he usually won't beat people by himself.

And the royal ancestral hall, that is the Taimiao, can you kneel casually?So even if you are angry, most of the time you think about it, it is just a scolding.What's more, with Situ Kun looking at their father and son with such a cheap look, he might be swearing, and he is happy in his heart.

However, he didn't tell Situ Yue any of this!

Well, yes, that's right!He did it on purpose!

The author has something to say: A parent said it was right before, Situ Kun just looked at the father and son of the Lin family with envious eyes, but he was doing everything he could to raise his son.He didn't have to cheat Lin Yan, he just used this method to find this feeling of friendship.

And it was Lin Yan who saw this when Situ Ling was asked to be a dutiful son with half truth and half falsehood.
