Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Is this the universal formula you showed me?"

Yongan was performing here with great enthusiasm, and the Prince of Nannan was looking at him, wishing he could slap him away.

He stretched out his hand but ignored his head and gently stroked Yongan's head.

He gritted his teeth and said, "High! Really high! Your sister is really a high person!"

Today, the main gate of the Governor's Mansion was wide open, with red carpet covering the floor. Strings of red lanterns lit up the streets.

The inside of the mansion was covered with red silk and brocade. The eaves, corridors, and plum trees were all covered with rouge-red gauze curtains, which were tied every ten steps. The gauze curtains fell quietly without wind, just like clouds wearing red shirts.

Ladies, young ladies, young masters and old men from various families, dressed in fancy clothes, came in one after another.

The ceremonial guests took the gift lists one by one and sang along loudly.

Mr. Zhang of Yangzhou congratulates Governor Fang on his wedding...

Master Zhen of Jinling congratulates Governor Fang on his wedding...

Yangzhou Censor Lin, congratulations to Governor Fang, on your wedding...

……

Lin Ruhai presented his gift and looked at the gorgeous scene in the hall, sighing inwardly.

Some came from Jinling, as well as from merchants and county government offices. The gift list is there, is it just gifts?

"Lord Lin! Lord Lin!" At this time, several gentlemen turned around from the front and heard the protocol officer's response.

Walking towards Lin Ruhai, they must have heard of the demeanor of Lin Ruhai's son.

At this moment, several pairs of eyes were indeed looking at the son behind Lin Ruhai, who was holding the corner of the clothes of the Prince of Nan'an.

"Master Lin! This is your master, right?"

"He is indeed a gifted man with extraordinary intelligence. He will surely be the top or third place in the imperial examination in the future!"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed politely, "No, no! You young boy, you are embarrassing me!"

"Yongan! Come and say hello to the uncles!"

At this moment, Yongan blinked his eyes, with nothing to say.

His mind was blank.

The universal formula my sister gave me was spoken by my father first, so he didn't keep it for me.

What are you talking about? Dad! Why don't you leave some for your son?

Yongan clenched his fists, tilted his head, thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

The quieter I am, the faster my heart beats. The more I think about it, the less I know what to say. So I just stop thinking and blurt out,

"No, no, I'm not as good as you, not as good as you!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

I thought to myself, how should I praise this?

It is better to see something once than to hear about it a hundred times!

"Is this boy really extraordinary? He actually knows how to be humble? Isn't it said that words are like knives, piercing the bones?"

"Master Lin, you are so lucky!"

Lin Yongan had just finished speaking when he became a little worried that he had said something wrong.

Because that's what you should say when criticizing.

Now I was surprised first and then happy, and I was extremely excited. Look! I was praised again!

He looked up at the Prince of Nan'an, "Brother! Did I say it well?"

Prince Nan'an rubbed his itchy hands.

I can't help it! I want to hit someone, what should I do?

I could only look up at the sky.

Lin Ruhai glanced at his son with satisfaction, "Very good! My son will be better next time!"

The other adults looked at the Prince of Nan'an, who was even more outstanding, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Is this the eldest son?"

"Oh my! Oh my! You are such a rare talent! Master Lin, you are so lucky!"

"Both sons are talented. The Lin family is indeed a family of scholars!"

Lin Ruhai didn't want to explain whether he was the eldest son of a concubine.

A rumor spread by one person can be explained. But if it is spread by hundreds of people, your explanation becomes a cover-up.

But it’s better this way, as it saves you from being snooped by someone with ulterior motives.

As for being henpecked, so what if Lin Ruhai is henpecked!

I can't stand it anymore! This back and forth complimenting.

The words are as sweet as honey, but the heart is like a knife, which is very boring.

The Prince of Nan'an frowned and glanced at the little follower Yong'an.

"Yongan! Let's look around and see if there's anything interesting?"

Yongan grabbed the corner of his clothes excitedly and nodded heavily.

……

"Speaking of which, the four kings of different surnames in our dynasty will probably have to move!" An old man with a white beard stroked his beard and talked loudly, while three or five close friends beside him nodded frequently.

"Yes! It is difficult to accommodate any dynasty! The most pitiful is the Nan'an King's branch, who have always fought for the country and never slacked off, but now only the young children are left."

"I heard that the emperor suppressed the petition from the Nan'an Palace requesting that the crown prince be made king. Now no one in the court dares to mention this matter anymore."

"Won't the other families show their support?"

"I guess it all depends on which way the wind blows now, right?"

"No one dares to move now, no one is willing to move!"

"No one dares to move? Haven't you heard? Our new father-in-law, the governor Fang, has just submitted a memorial."

"The petition to close the horse market is full of pearls and tears. Listen to this sentence. Opening the horse market is another name for the consensus."

"Those who agree to open the horse market are equated with peacemakers and surrenderists."

"The King of Nan'an died in battle, and the Hu Lu suffered heavy losses. Who dares to propose peace at this time?"

"The timing of mentioning the horse market now is really accurate!"

"Such a great achievement looks like it will make you a master of Wen!"

"Of course. With the guidance of the Prime Minister, the road to success is paved."

"Otherwise, how could our Governor Fang be so fast? Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"You can't say more about this here!"

The Prince of Nannan stood behind the tree with a gloomy face and eyes closed, feeling the pain of the branches piercing his palms.

You bastard! The blood of the Nan'an Palace gave you a chance to rise to the top!

But no one dared to speak for the Nan'an Palace. Isn't that bullying me because I am young? Isn't that bullying the Nan'an Palace because there is no successor?

Don’t you all hope that my Nan’an Palace will be wiped out?

There are still doubts about my father's death, but no one is investigating?

Lin Yongan was held in Wei Wu's arms with one hand and his other hand tightly covered his mouth.

When he saw his cousin's painful and hideous face, he was so scared that his hands started sweating and wet Wei Wu's clothes.

He changed position and rubbed it again.

Wei Wu listened attentively and noticed the child's little movements.

I was afraid that he would make a sound, so I had to carry him and leave first.

Then a bird's cry came out of its mouth, reminding the young master that it was time to leave.

Hearing the bird's cry, Prince Nan'an was suddenly startled, as he almost lost his composure just now.

So I calmed down and walked out.

Another handsome young man!

"Come here! Yongan, I'll break off some branches for you and make you a little hat."

"It's too hot here, let's go! The dinner is almost ready."

As he spoke, the Prince of Nan'an clasped his hands together and made a tree branch hat.

Green!

"I don't want it! It's too ugly!" Yong'an slipped off Wei Wu and ran away.

Shan Tou, Wei Wu, and the Prince of Nannan were chasing after them.

There were people who knew them and those who didn't know them commenting on it.

"See? They are the eldest son and the legitimate son of the Lin family, the new salt inspector."

"The two children are six or seven years apart in age. It seems that they are not as bad as the rumors say."
