Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"You mean the governor is going to attend a wedding. The whole Yangzhou will be mobilized?" Jia Min looked at Master Fan with puzzled eyes.

Master Fan gently stroked the fine fabric, "Madam! I didn't say anything."

"I just suggest that if you decide to do it, do it as soon as possible, and it's actually a little late now."

"For such a big event, the upper-class families in Yangzhou might have already prepared for it."

"The wedding will last for three days. The masters must prepare two sets of clothes for each day, right?"

"Don't wear the same clothes for three days. If you don't wear old clothes, each master should have at least six sets. If you add my own clothes, it will be at least ten sets."

"What do you think?..." Master Fan looked at Jia Min calmly.

She was reminding him based on the invitation from the Governor's Mansion, but she didn't know whether she should do so or not?

Jia Min was very puzzled, "Weddings usually last one day, and the invitation only says one day, so where do the remaining two days come from?"

Master Fan smiled mysteriously, "You can say three days, or one day. The first day is the main event, the three days are the celebratory banquet, and the last two days are mainly for sightseeing and sightseeing."

"It's all just to give everyone an excuse to get together."

"Whether you want to attend for one day or three days depends on your relationship. However, most people in Yangzhou are unwilling to miss it."

Jewelry, clothes, and gifts, it seems that Yangzhou city is in action.

Isn't this governor afraid of impeachment for doing this?

But think about it, what's the point of impeachment? Sending invitations to a wedding is natural.

You can not make clothes, not wear jewelry, and not give gifts, but is it possible?

What do people go there for? Even she, doesn't she want to make her child famous?

And this is a must, there is no hesitation.

Even if you're only going for one day, it wouldn't be too much to prepare for three days.

"Master Fan, thank you for your reminder, otherwise I would have been embarrassed."

"Ten for each master, eight for each servant."

Jia Min gritted her teeth. It wasn't that she was reluctant to spend money, but she had thought it unnecessary to be frugal and manage the household well before.

Now it seems that this is Yangzhou, just as Master Fan said.

The richest place.

Master Fan left with a smile on his face.

Jia Min sat for a while, thought for a moment, and told Banxia to ask someone to inquire about the governor's wedding banquet.

I also told the manager to move tomorrow, and suddenly I felt that I didn't have enough time.

Not only her, but even Lin Ruhai was lost in thought about the gift.

This weight is difficult to measure.

If I take it lightly, I’m afraid I’ll think I’m not taking it seriously enough.

It’s too heavy and I’m afraid I won’t be able to tear it apart later.

If you don't send it, you will become the target of public criticism.

Lin Ruhai tapped the inkstone lightly with his pen.

The easiest way is to write a calligraphy yourself, but this is also the worst way.

Everything will be difficult to carry out from now on!

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" the servant knocked on the door.

"Sir, my cousin sent someone to report something."

He? What's he doing here?

Since they reconciled that day, the two met every day, but they had nothing to talk about.

It feels like we are two people on two different paths, just walking the same path temporarily.

"Let him in!"

The person who pushed the door open was Wei Wu, holding a roll of paper in his hand.

Lin Ruhai frowned, "What does your young master want? Is he here to ask for a calligraphy?"

Wei Wu bowed first and said respectfully, "Sir, my young master went to the pawnshop to redeem his pawn today and found something."

"I thought it might be useful to you, my Lord."

"Did your young master go to the pawn shop to pawn something?" Lin Ruhai thought to himself, why am I so unbelieving?

Wei Wu smiled but said nothing.

Lin Ruhai sighed softly, "Is there anything in the pawn shop that I can use?"

Wei Wu put the things in his hand on the table and opened them layer by layer.

Finally, a painting was revealed.

"Is this [Mountain Dwelling Picture]?" Lin Ruhai's excited voice passed by gently.

I was afraid that the loud noise would damage a famous painting from the previous dynasty.

Wei Wu smiled mysteriously, "Sir, please take a closer look!"

Lin Ruhai took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then gently twisted the paper with his hands and moved closer to examine the seal carefully.

The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, so he suddenly looked up at Wei Wu.

"Is this a fake?" There was still disbelief in his voice.

Wei Wu said with relief, "Your Excellency has a good eye. Five of the pawnshop's assistants took turns observing and confirmed it."

"If you haven't been immersed in calligraphy and painting for decades, you may not be able to see this."

Lin Ruhai stroked his chin, continued to look at the picture and asked, "Did your young master tell me why he thought this thing would be useful to me?"

"My young master said that this thing can solve your urgent need. You should know that when the fake is made to look real, the real becomes fake."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but laugh. Is there really someone who is born with the ability to plan and strategize?

As expected, he is the son of Princess Nan'an. He can play the game so well, true and false, false and true. He is only ten years old.

If it weren't for the guidance of his staff, then... in the future, he would at least be a thief like Cao!

But at this moment, it really relieves my worries.

Now the bond with this child is getting deeper and deeper.

It's like knowing it's a trap, but still having to step into it.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai became calm instead.

He looked at Wei Wu and said, "I appreciate your master's kindness, but I don't want to receive anything without merit. What does your young master want?"

Wei Wu thought of what the young master said, the more confident you are, the more respectful and polite you should be.

Controlling the joy in his heart, he said, "Sir, my young master would like to ask for another calligraphy."

Sure enough!

Lin Ruhai took the paper from the shelf and spread it out.

Standing and thinking, what should I write?

After thinking for a long time, he finally picked up the pen and wrote a word.

air!

Wei Wu was dumbfounded. "Sir! What does this word mean?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Wei Wu and said, "Just go back and give it to your young master."

"He will understand."

Wei Wu had no choice but to roll up the word.

I thought to myself, what a loss, the young master has suffered a loss, a painting was exchanged for nothing.

After Wei Wu left the room, Lin Ruhai sighed slightly.

I hope you can understand that all the plans are in vain. At a young age, you should be like an eagle and enjoy life.

That kind of identity, eh...

Wei Wu handed the "empty" character to the prince with suspicion, "Master! What does Lord Lin mean by this?"

"I just wrote this one word to deal with the young master."

"We've suffered a loss this time."

The Prince of Nan'an looked at the words spread out, and the more he read, the happier he became, and he nodded secretly.

The one who knows me is my teacher!

Wei Wu looked at the prince with an expression as if he was looking at a lover. Could it be that he was mad because of Lin Ruhai?

So he asked tentatively, "Master! Master! What did you see?"

"So happy?"

The Prince of Nan'an glared at him sideways, then looked at his face and shook his head, "I can tell from the looks of it that you're uneducated."

"What is this word?"

Wei Wu stiffened his neck. He admitted that he was uneducated, but he denied that he did not know the word.

"The word 'empty'! I know this word!"

"What about now?" The Prince of Nan'an held the calligraphy in his hand.

"Now! It hasn't changed. It's still empty."

I thought, you are holding it in your hand, it’s not a magic trick, how can it change?

The Prince of Nan'an looked at him and kept shaking his head, thinking that he was a rotten tree that could not be carved.

"I hold the word 'empty' in my hand and put my other hand on the left side of the word 'empty'. What do I read?"

Wei Wu gestured with his palm, "Telekinesis!"

"Yes! This means that the master is telling me that I must control the world and the situation with my own hands. If I let go, it will be in vain!"

The joy in Prince Nan'an's eyes overflowed.

"Ah...ah, ah...ah!..." Wei Wu looked at the calligraphy again, and he sighed in aria.

"Mr. Lin is indeed a man of talent, and I am just too stupid!"
