Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 23 The 7th Prince Arrives

The Lin family thanked guests behind closed doors when they came back from Lin Hai, but there were also people who did not give up and tried their best to pass in the post, wanting to meet Jia Min.

Jia Min glanced at the post, threw it on the table, and snorted coldly: "Whenever some cats and dogs want to come into our Lin's house, they won't be seen."

Jia Min, the servant of Xu Hua's family, used anti-fetal medicine, and then said softly: "It's just cats and dogs, why should Madam be angry with them?"

Jia Min twitched the bracelet on her wrist and said, "They are not worthy of making me angry. I am just angry at the assassin who is still not sure who is behind it."

Xu Hua's family looked around vigilantly, and saw that the big maids were all doing needlework in the outer room, so they whispered: "Isn't it the Zhen family?"

In Lin Hai's study, Lin Yang was also surprised when he heard the news: "Isn't it the Zhen family?"

Lin Hai shook his head: "On the surface it is the Zhen family, but there is another person behind it. The assassin fought with the guards sent by Brother Zheng, and they say they are from there." Lin Hai pointed to the north with his finger.

"It's this one?" Lin Yang made an eleven in the air.

Mu Zheng, who was sitting on the side, shook his head and said, "It's not him. My uncle never sinned against him before. He has always been the appearance and posture of Corporal Fu Lixian who is eager for talents. Even if he deliberately sends assassins, he will not be cruel. Yes. And this time the assassins are deadly and well-trained, they are specially raised dead soldiers."

Lin Yang guessed: "Someone is the oriole behind the back, who knows the actions of the Zhen family, and uses this to make our Lin family and the Zhen family completely tear up?" He said to himself: "Who is so scheming? It is obviously a mistake. .”

Lin Hai wanted to have a cup of tea, but Lin Yang quickly moved him away. This interruption interrupted Lin Yang's thoughts.He had never been in contact with the princes in Beijing, so he couldn't guess who had such deep thoughts.

Lin Yang thought of the wet nurses in the inner courtyard again, and said to Lin Hai, "What will father do with the three wet nurses?"

Yi Linhai's plan was to sell the drug far away, but firstly, the wet nurse was from a good family and signed a contract of living, and secondly, he wanted to accumulate blessings for the child in Jia Min's womb, so he didn't want to deal with it himself, saying: "Send it back to Zhen's house." The fate of the discovered chess pieces when they are sent back to the master's house is clear to everyone sitting here.

"As for the tooth shop?" Lin Hai sneered: "There are a lot of dirty things inside, and no one can escape." He likes to do things with spring wind and rain, not like to act vigorously, which makes others think that he is kind-hearted. He was bullied, even a few merchants dared to fight against him.

Although Lin Hai was convalescing on the hospital bed, it did not affect his work efficiency. Immediately, Lin An's family took the evidence from those dental clinics to report to the prefect Wang's office. In front of the common people, the prefect Wang It's not good to bend the law for personal gain, and deal with it impartially.Lin Hai didn't beat all the dental shops to death with a stick, only the dental shop that sold to Lin's wet nurse was ransacked, exiled and confiscated.

Lin Hai didn't hide what he was doing these things, and the whole city of Yangzhou was full of discussions.Lin Yang also privately worried whether Lin Hai's move was too public, which completely offended the Zhen family, because he offended the Zhen family when the situation in Beijing was unclear. Although he knew the fate of the Zhen family, the Zhen family was currently in full swing.

Lin Hai shook his head: "There has to be a big commotion, so that the higher-ups can rest assured." The emperor has become more suspicious in recent years, for fear that the prince and his courtiers will collude, and he and the Zhen family will fall out. , the emperor will definitely stand by and watch, if it doesn't affect him much, the emperor will see how the Zhen family bullied him, a royalist, and he will naturally take action to protect him.Sure enough, after more than ten days, Commander Yang Du sent two wet nurses, along with the deeds of prostitution of their families.

Lin Hai accepted his kindness calmly and was led to meet Jia Min.In private, he joked with Lin Yang and said: "The people our family can afford are given by others." Lin Yang frowned when he heard this, and now he was as frightened as a bird: "Then, do you want to use the stable woman before?"

"Don't worry, I'm naturally prepared for how my father will use them so easily." Lin Hai stroked his beard and smiled.Lin Yang knew that his father had made arrangements, so he let go of his thoughts, and told Lin Hai about Daiyu's interesting stories, "Although she manages her family well, she is still a child in private. She is very curious and listens to others. They said they were playing with crickets, and asked people to buy them to have a look, but who would have thought that the crickets would jump on her, and even if their eyes turned red from fright, they would never talk about watching crickets again.”

Lin Hai laughed, he was recuperating in the outer courtyard, but Jia Min had to raise a baby, Daiyu was always in the outer courtyard because she was a bad girl, Lin Yang wanted to study, and he only talked to Yang Xi on weekdays, and he was very lonely.

"The girl is timid and thin-skinned. From now on, you are not allowed to mention crickets in front of her." "Don't worry about that." Lin Yang concentrated on peeling the apple, and said to Lin Hai, "Before she was splashed by the koi because she was joking. With a face full of water, she ignored me for several days, and I dare not mess with her again." That year when Lin's family went to offer incense, Lin Yang added bathtubs in Daiyu's house and yard, and raised koi Inside, Daiyu secretly took advantage of people's unpreparedness to fish for koi, but was splashed with water. Lin Yang found out and teased her for a while, but Daiyu was annoyed and ignored Lin Yang for a long time. After that, Lin Yang pretended not to know about some embarrassing things about her.

Lin Hai said with a smile: "Her child's family is at the right time to save face. But what if she gets married in the future?" Lin Yang curled his lips secretly and said: "How old is Daiyu, it's too early to get married, and it's too early to get married. She has a small temper in front of us, but she is always lenient and polite in front of outsiders and servants, and besides, with my father and I protecting her, who would dare to bully her."

Lin Hai inserted an apple into his mouth: "You will spoil her."

Lin Yang smiled and said: "I don't spoil who she spoils. Besides, Daiyu has a soft heart. Even if she is pampered by me, she can't be arrogant and indulgent. But is it lonely for father to recuperate alone during the day? Why not?" Let Daiyu come here to read to you, so you can guide her poetry and books?"

Lin Hai was a little surprised: "Isn't there Yang Xi?" Lin Yang said: "Mr. Yang still has to teach Mu Zheng. You teach Daiyu yourself, not only will Mr. Yang not be so hard, but you will also have a companion." Lin Hai said Only then did he understand what he was thinking, the co-author was because he was afraid that Mu Zheng would rob his sister.

Lin Hai said with a smile: "I'm fine, but your sister is a girl after all, and there are people coming and going in this outer courtyard."

Lin Yang didn't care at all: "How old is my younger sister? She's not yet at the age of men and women, and there are no outsiders in the study. It's really impossible to dress up like a kid." He added: "She was at her mother's place last time. When I saw my old clothes, I clamored to wear them."

Only then did Lin Hai agree, he also wanted to see how his beautiful little girl would look like dressed up as a kid.

Lin Yang was delighted when he saw Daiyu's appearance: "Whose child is this? Why does he look like Yan Yan from our family?" Yuxue is cute, if she is really a kid, she will grow up to be the kind of person who throws fruit and carts.

Daiyu turned happily in front of Lin Yang, threw herself into Lin Yang's arms, and said, "My brother said he loves me the most, and I can't even recognize him." Lin Yang pinched Daiyu's earlobe and said: " Everything else is fine, but this is not the case." Daiyu pouted: "I wanted to find something to cover it up, but Nanny Ding refused to let her because she was afraid it would block her earhole." Lin Yang comforted her: "It was originally It’s not like you’re pretending to be a kid, so what’s the point of being serious.”

Daiyu just came to Lin Hai's room every day.Lin Hai started to teach his daughter, only to find that it was much more worry-free than teaching Lin Yang. It was not that he was much smarter than Lin Yang, but that he had a clever mind, could understand everything, and could draw inferences from one instance. It's a pity that Daiyu is such a talented girl, but it's a pity that Daiyu's talent cannot be revealed.

More than a month later, an unexpected visitor came to the Lin family. Lin Yang was woken up to Lin Hai's study in his sleep.He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said to Lin Hai, "Father, I don't know what to do with my son." His voice was soft.

It was rare for Lin Hai to see his son's childish side, so he straightened his clothes with his own hands: "A distinguished guest is here and wants to see you."

It was only then that Lin Yang discovered that apart from Yang Ximuzheng, there was another man around 30 years old in the room.Seeing the appearance of that man, Lin Yang couldn't help feeling that this is the domineering president!

On a face with sharp edges and corners, picturesque eyebrows, a straight nose, deep phoenix eyes, and long eyebrows slanted into the temples.In Lin Yang's words, he has an undeniable aura of dominance all over his body.

When the man saw Lin Yang, he stood up, tall and straight, and asked in a low voice, "Is this Brother Yang?" The eyes are like a millennium cold pool, making people feel like they are in the winter ice and snow.

Lin Hai's attitude was extremely respectful: "Yes."

The man didn't say much, and said to Lin Hai: "Let him and brother Zheng go back." His voice carried the aura of a superior.Lin Yang already knew the identity of this person in his heart.

Lin Hai straightened his back and said, "Brother Yang is the eldest son of the Lin family, and Brother Zheng will also inherit the palace in the future."

The man was silent for a while, then chuckled lightly, although it was a laugh, but also with a forceful aura, he said: "You are quite courageous." Lin Hai remained silent.

The man rested his jaw on his hand, and casually flipped through the things on the table with the other hand, and said, "Is that all?" Recorded in the book." Lin Yang widened his eyes, ledger!

"You are quite capable."

Lin Hai didn't dare, and said: "Thanks to the help of Deputy Xue." Xue's family is sincere and interesting, so he naturally wants to build a bridge.

The man groaned, and said: "Xue Yuan, he climbed very fast. It only took him a long time to go from the ninth rank to the seventh rank." After the man finished speaking, he didn't speak, but concentrated on looking at the account book.

The rest of the people in the room didn't dare to speak. The man flipped over for a while, waved his hand, and then a black figure jumped in from the window, the movement was light and soundless, presumably it was the hidden guard.The man handed over the account book to the dark guard, and then he opened his mouth, which surprised Lin Yang.

The man looked at Mu Zheng, his eyes softened a little, and his voice was a little lazy: "Your aunt misses you very much, and brought you a lot of things, and I sent someone to your room."

Lin Yang saw that Mu Zheng's back relaxed a little, and replied, "Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern."

The man chuckled: "It's still such a rigid temperament. After staying with Lin Yang for so long, I haven't been affected by his escaping temperament." The words were full of jokes and concerns, just like ordinary elders caring about their nephews.

Lin Yang was terrified when he heard it. He vaguely guessed his own life experience, but it didn't mean he wanted to get involved.
