[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

When Lin Ze knew about Xue Baochai's entry into the palace, he was so shocked that he couldn't swallow the snacks in his mouth, and almost choked him to death.Finally, with the help of Shui Zhan, the dim sum was smoothed out with a glass of water. After Lin Ze realized it, he immediately gave Shui Rong an elbow, glared at him and said, "This joke is not funny at all, change it. "

Shui Rong's expression was a bit tangled, did he seem to be joking? Thinking of this, he looked wryly at Shui Zhan who was sitting next to Lin Ze and giving Lin Ze a smooth ride.This matter is not due to him alone. Why is the instigator so calm? Shui Zhan glanced at Shui Rong before turning to Lin Ze and saying, "Shui Rong didn't lie to you, Miss Xue has indeed entered the palace."

"No way! How long has their family been in the capital? If they entered the palace for a small election, they would have entered the palace earlier. Can we wait for our son?" Then he frowned and said, "Besides, I haven't heard of it before. There is a matter of the draft. In the past three years, there has only been a small selection, and this year it will follow where."

When Shui Zhan saw Lin Ze asking this question, although he knew the truth in his heart, he couldn't say it directly.He couldn't say that he and his father felt that the Xue family's status was too low, and they didn't deserve Lin Ze, so they used such a dirty trick.Not to mention, Lin Ze might not believe it even if he said it, but if he really said this, Lin Ze would definitely ask the emperor why he did this.How can I explain it then!

Shui Rong only smiled and said: "The old sage doesn't like to be restrained by rules the most. He always does what he wants. You can see the concubine of the Jia family that the old sage has promoted. This girl from the Xue family, ah , I made a mistake, now it’s time to call the lady of the Xue family.” Smiling, she moved to Lin Ze’s side, and Shui Rong put Lin Ze’s ear in a mysterious manner and said, “You don’t know, the lady of the Xue family Now he has been named a nobleman by the old sage!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Ze said with a faint smile, "Didn't the one from Jia's family also become a nobleman?" If Qin's matter hadn't been reported, Jia Yuanchun's concubine still doesn't know what to do Woolen cloth.

Shui Rong shook his head and said: "You are wrong, although the Jia family was a nobleman before, he is far worse than the Xue family."

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.When Shui Rong saw Lin Ze's eyes, his heart was immediately encouraged, and he hurriedly explained the twists and turns here.It turns out that all nobles, concubines, concubines, concubines, wives and four concubines have titles, and they are proud of it, and they are arrogant to everyone.When Jia Yuanchun was named a nobleman at the beginning of the spring, he was just a nobleman.Until now when she is on the imperial concubine position, there is only a title of virtuous concubine.But although Xue Baochai is also a nobleman, unlike Jia Yuanchun, Xue Baochai was named a nobleman.

Only those who are not very favored or have a humble family background are often titled by their surnames.

Tsk, after Jia Yuanchun knew Baochai's title, he smashed many porcelains in Changchun Palace.

Concubine Shen also tore several veils with hatred, but compared to Jia Yuanchun who was in power before, this time Xue Baochai became a nobleman, but for her, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.Not to mention that Xue's family background is not high in the first place, in the future, in the deep palace and other courtyards, in the final analysis, they still have to rely on their mother's family.With Xue Baochai's family background, who can she rely on?Furthermore, even if Xue Baochai wanted to get close to Jia Yuanchun, he might not be able to please him.Why did Xue Baochai fall into the eyes of the Supreme Emperor by such a coincidence? Others don't understand how many twists and turns there are. How could she not see it after decades of immersion in the deep palace?

Stealing a chicken is not worth a handful of rice.It's Jia Yuanchun!

After listening to Shui Rong's analysis, Lin Ze was really dumbfounded.It turns out that the water in the harem is so deep, it's really hard to sharpen your head and rush into it for the sake of a girl from a family.Lin Ze couldn't help touching his forehead and sighing for a few words, which made Shui Zhan laugh too.

"After all, this is the emperor's harem, and the father's harem is still very clear."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "That's right, there is a virtuous empress in the emperor's harem, not to mention anything else, but the newly promoted young masters in the emperor's harem have not come up with any tricks. I know that the empress is very good at managing the harem." Then he said to Lin Ze: "Hey, I'm not bragging to you, the empress is the most benevolent and kind, don't think it's a compliment to her, that's what the empress really is. Such is the nature of children."

After speaking, he sighed again: "However, the emperor doesn't love those Yingyingyanyan in the harem, the people whom the emperor misses the most, spend twenty days a month resting in Kunning Palace and Qinzheng Palace. "

Shui Zhan smiled and said, "You know these things again, could it be that your eyes and ears are also in the respect room?"

There was no harm in joking between the brothers, and Shui Rong didn't think much of it when he heard Shui Zhan say that.He just smiled and said: "Don't say that the emperor is so pure-hearted, assiduous, and caring for the people. I don't think you are too far behind. There is not yet a concubine in this backyard. When do you want to get married? People Chen Your Excellency, Mr. Liu have stretched out their heads, just waiting for you to start the draft."

As soon as these words came out, a bit of embarrassment appeared on Shui Zhan's face.He couldn't stop looking at Lin Ze, and saw Lin Ze was skimming tea foam with his head down, so he gave Shui Rong a sneaky look, to make him restrain himself.

Shui Rong didn't understand what it meant, they never took this matter to heart.Anyway, it's only happened in the past two or three years, and everyone knows each other well.In two more years, Shui Zhan will be the year of weak crown. Although it is not in a hurry now, it is not guaranteed that someone will present a memorial to the emperor in the future.

The concubine of the middle palace is also the most respected prince by the emperor.Even if the emperor didn't speak plainly about the position of the crown prince, who would not be clear about the civil and military officials in the court.The one who can inherit the throne in the future must be Shui Zhan.It's just that Shui Zhan has a reticent temperament, and always spends his mind on doing practical things for the people and alleviating the emperor's worries, but he rarely has personal relationships with the civil and military officials below.

Those people who flirt with flattery have always suffered from the lack of opportunities to flatter.Seeing that Shui Zhan has grown up year by year, and has a good girl at home, his mind naturally becomes alive.This is also human nature. Relying on the relatives in marriage, sending the daughter to the prince's side, consolidating one's own status and status, and getting closer to the prince, why not do it!

This should be said in normal times, only when Shui Rong and Shui Zhan were alone, they laughed and said it.But Lin Ze was here today, and Shui Rong just started talking, and Shui Zhan felt uncomfortable.Seeing Lin Ze half-hanging his head and ignoring them, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Seeing that Shui Zhan ignored him and Lin Ze ignored him, Shui Rong expressed that he was confused and boring.Look at Shui Zhan looking at Lin Ze again, his water soluble eyeballs rolled around, he leaned towards Lin Ze and smiled, "Hey, how did I hear that the old lady of the Jia family wanted to tell that one to you?" And you?"

Lin Ze raised his head and glanced at him, then said with a half-smile: "Don't talk nonsense about the disappearance, that lady is now a lady in the palace, so naturally we foreign ministers shouldn't talk about these things. Jia I can't understand what the old lady said, I'm just a clumsy person."

When Shui Rong heard Lin Ze's tone, he wanted to laugh out loud.It looked like a little beast that had gotten into an awkward situation, irritating and refusing to give in, giving people a good look.

"If you want me to say, you are not too young. Why is Mr. Lin not in a hurry to propose marriage to you? After a few more years, there will be no good girls..."

Before Shui Rong could finish speaking, Shui Zhan frowned and said, "What nonsense! You only mention these things when he is so young. You are not ashamed, and I am sorry for you!" Then he said to Lin Ze: "Don't Hearing the nonsense in his mouth, you are still young, you should focus on your studies, and you don't have to change your temper because of these romances."

Lin Ze turned his head and hummed with a smile: "I see that the prince's words are not bad. Although I am young, I will settle down first and wait a few years to get married."

Shui Zhan felt like a fire was burning in his heart, and he was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head.Seeing that Lin Ze's eyes were squinted, his grinning look was like a joke but not like a joke.Shui Rong was watching the excitement from the sidelines, so he couldn't count on it at this time.Shui Zhan thought for a while, and his face flushed red, "I asked Mr. Tang from the Qin Tianjian to calculate it for you before. Before the weak crown, you can't stand beside her, otherwise it will hurt your family!"

Lin Ze sneered and said, "I don't believe these unreasonable words. Mr. Tang's words are really irresponsible." Qin Tianjian, hum!It's not okay to treat him as a fool.This Qin Tianjian is also in charge of observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars.According to later words, it is just a National Weather Service.It's not some kind of fortune-telling magic stick, so who are you talking about!

Shui Rong opened his mouth in surprise, and then changed his mouth under the pressure of Shui Zhan's eyes again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I have heard about this too." Seeing Lin Ze's half-smile He hurriedly leaned over and said, "Hey, don't underestimate Mr. Tang, he is a very talented person and never lies. Since he said so, there must be something like this."

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to explain it so clearly for me." Then he said to Shui Zhan, "I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back."

Shui Zhan hurriedly pulled him back, seeing that Lin Ze's face was normal, but his eyes were a little unhappy, he was wondering when he provoked him, but he still said: "Father asked me to tell you , let you enter the palace to talk with him in two days."

Lin Ze gave a low laugh, neither saying yes nor no.After just taking a look at Shui Zhan, he left.

Shui Zhan watched Lin Ze go out, moved his feet, but still didn't chase him out.Anyway, when Lin Ze came out of this door, the executives were already waiting at the door, so it wouldn't make him feel unsafe on the road.What Shui Zhan wanted to understand more at this time was why he reacted so violently when Shui Rong mentioned his marriage with Lin Ze.

He didn't think getting married was an unbearable thing before. The so-called main concubine and side concubine were just political pawns.It is the hub used to connect the relationship network of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is a zone of relaxation between the superior and the court.These are obviously the obligations that he already knew that he should fulfill. He is the son of the middle palace, and he is the most valued by his father. In the future, he will inherit the great line is also a certainty.However, now he doesn't want to expose such a despicable side to Lin Ze.

Is it because Lin Ze hates himself?

"I said, you are too cautious." Shui Rong watched Lin Ze leave, then sat down on the couch boldly, stretched out his hand and peeled an orange.While peeling, he smiled and said, "I'm not talking about you. It's not like you haven't heard of these things in the past. Why is your behavior so abnormal today? If it's because of that kid Lin Ze, I advise you not to. He is shrewd in his heart, and there is no room for others to plot against him."

Shui Rong only thinks that Shui Zhan's abnormality today is because Xue Baochai became a noble concubine and had a quarrel with the Lin family. He was afraid that Lin Ze would suffer such a reaction.Seeing that Shui Zhan still couldn't lift his spirits, he smiled and changed the subject, saying: "Hey, you don't know, I'm so annoyed at home these days that my head gets dizzy."

"My mother and concubine insist on recognizing a girl from the Lin family as a goddaughter. If you want me to say it, it is a good thing, but if you look at Lin Ze like that, if he is willing to give his sister to my mother and concubine as a goddaughter, I will go See if the sun is out in the west."

After hearing this, Shui Zhan also hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, he is the most defensive."

Stuffing a piece of orange into his mouth, after taking a couple of mouthfuls, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Lin Ze's character is also very cute, it's not me, looking around, there is no other prince like him."

Shui Zhan turned his head and glared at him, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Naturally, Shui Rong also received this gaze, so he could only smile wryly and say, "Ah, I know. You can't tell this shocking secret, can you? Lin Ze's kid is gone, and you're still like this. You're not tired, I'm tired." .” As he spoke, he lay down on the couch as if he had no bones and refused to get up.

Shui Zhan glanced at him, and said: "Lin Ze's marriage is not in a hurry, don't tell him something, it will only make him suspicious. Besides, my father hasn't spoken yet about my marriage, you mention it What are you going to do?"

"Hey? It's my fault too!" Shui Rong muttered a few words, then turned over and smiled at Shui Zhan: "Why have you been so kind to me in the past, but you are so kind to Lin Ze. It's your brother, this The difference is quite big!"

Shui Zhan laughed and said, "He's my own brother!"

"I know, I know. After all, I'm not your real brother." As he spoke, he thought of another person, and then smiled, "What about Shuiqing? He's your real brother. He was raised by the empress's side, the one closest to you." Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, his biological mother's status is too low, and he can't take care of him at all. He left early, but luckily the empress is taking care of him. How can he make him live to such a great age, and his body is still like that now?"

When Shui Rong mentioned Shui Qing, Shui Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's still the same, coughing continuously without taking the medicine."

Shui Qing is the No.11 son of the current emperor. He was born with a very weak body and has been taking medicine since he was able to eat.Because his birth mother's status was too low to raise him himself, Shui Qingda was adopted and raised in front of the queen as soon as he was born.At that time, the queen had just come out of the pain of bereavement, seeing Shui Qing's thin body, she felt very sorry for her, and took good care of Shui Qing.

Originally, the emperor didn't have much impression of this eleventh prince, but he vaguely remembered that when he was born, he cried softly, and he almost failed to survive.Shui Qing's biological mother was also a person who often took medicine, and after giving birth to Shui Qing, her foundation was even worse.After more than a year in the lingering sick bed, he passed away.

Since then, Shui Qing has been formally raised under the name of the Empress of Kunning Palace. Although she is weak, there are still precious medicinal materials in the palace.Shui Zhan is ten years older than Shui Qing, and he loves his sick brother very much.

But this kind of love is far from Shui Zhan's feelings for Lin Ze.

Seeing that Shui Zhan was not in a good mood, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Don't mention these things, the emperor asked Lin Ze to enter the palace to talk with him, so you are not afraid of showing off?"

Shui Zhan glanced at Shui Rong, and said calmly: "The queen mother also wants to see her very much, so in two days, the emperor will invite the Lin family and his family to the palace for a small gathering."

"Oh!" Shui Rong showed an expression of "so that's the case, I knew it", and smiled meanly, seeing Shui Zhan's forehead twitch, and almost couldn't help but beat him up.

"I see that in two days this palace will be full of excitement."

Isn't it!The Lin family and the Jia family are related by marriage, and the Xue family and Jia family are also related by marriage. Although the girls of these three families are not very familiar, they can be regarded as sisters after all.These two girls served the old sage, not to mention the open and secret fights, and there were some suspenseful reasoning plots mixed in, which would make Shui Rong, a theatergoer, very happy!

As soon as Lin Zecai returned to the mansion, he went to Daiyu's place, only to see that Daiyu was embroidering a piece of handkerchief, and there was a piece of handkerchief stretched on the round embroidered cloth, with patterns already painted on it, it was an elegant orchid shape.Lin Ze praised it with a smile, and after Daiyu embroidered two more stitches, she stopped.

Lin Ze frowned, and Daiyu frowned and asked, "Brother, have you heard that the girl from the Xue family seems to have entered the palace?"

Lin Ze knew that Daiyu was still in Jia's mansion this morning, so naturally she couldn't hide the news from her.Of course, there is no need to hide these news.Since Xue Baochai was favored by the old sage, it is self-evident who brought her into the palace first.

Mrs. Jia is old and smart, how could she do such a thing like throwing a rock at her own feet? Although Mrs. Xing of the first room is of high class, she has never been able to get along with the second room, and of course she will not join in the fun .After thinking about it, only Mrs. Wang would do such a stupid thing.I hurriedly brought a girl from a relative's family to the palace!

Daiyu sighed, and then said: "Grandmother lost her temper today, even the second aunt was blamed, and I and other sisters are here, but grandmother has lost face to second aunt, I think she is very angry .”

Lin Ze sneered in his heart.It's strange that Mother Jia is not angry!Jia Yuanchun boiled oil for so long, seeing how hard it was to get into the eyes of the old sage, and make a virtuous concubine, how long will it take to visit relatives in a beautiful way?The Baochai of Xue's family rushed into the palace, and was blessed by the old sage in no time, and was made a nobleman.She has quality, rank and title, which is not much better than Yuan Chun, the virtuous concubine.

If Jiamu still has a little love for Baochai on weekdays, it is because Baochai's appearance is four or five points like Yuanchun.Turning a blind eye to Mrs. Wang's words about Xue Jia's marriage, but now she really hates the Xue family to the bone!

This Xue Baochai was about to die, and Xiaoxuan was hopeless, but this time he coaxed Mrs. Wang to take her into the palace, didn't he premeditate!Mrs. Pian Wang is so stupid that she can't even compare to a little girl. She built bridges and paved the way for others, and sent her daughter-in-law to the old saint's dragon couch.It's better now, my aunts and sisters meet each other every day in the palace, and I don't know how much I hate each other in my heart!

Besides, it wasn't long before Yuanchun came to visit his relatives, and Baochai won the title and favor. Isn't this just slapping Yuanchun in the face and the Jia family's face!

Mother Jia was trembling with anger, gnashed her teeth and brought Mrs. Wang in front of her and scolded her.She really hates it!Even if Xue Baochai was brought into the Jia mansion and given to Baoyu, it would be better than letting Xue Baochai enter the palace and compete with Yuanchun for favor!With the lintel of the Xue family, so what if she married Baoyu, seeing that she is now a concubine, and in the future she will show Baoyu a girl from a wealthy family, it's great to lift up a flat wife.Anyway, what a flat wife said is also a common trick used by businessmen!

But it's good now!

Mrs. Wang took Baochai to the palace, but she met the old sage, and Baochai fell into the eyes of the old sage, but the old sage favored people so quickly, and she was granted the title of Duan nobleman on the same day. Live in Changchun Palace.This is great now, the two sisters live in the same palace, it's just the difference between the main hall and the side hall, who is more favored, just look at the silver that the Jia family keeps sending into the palace now.

The Xue family is about to wake up!

Hearing what Daiyu said, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about these things, the affairs of the two of them have nothing to do with our family, you can just chat and laugh with the sisters."

This remark aroused Daiyu's displeasure, and she just snorted coldly, "Second Lian's sister-in-law is also getting heavy now, and the doctor said that the child will be born in March. I won't go, and I won't go if I go." nice thing to say."

Lin Ze was also surprised, and asked: "What is this saying? Who is bullying you again? Could it be that someone said something bad, let me listen to what you say, and if it is true, I will seek justice for you."

Daiyu said quickly: "She is a noble lady of the Marquis's mansion, how can she think of me as a commoner girl, I am naturally disgusting, and I will not go there in the future. I can only do needlework at home with peace of mind."

When Lin Ze heard it, there was nothing he didn't understand.It must be Shi Xiangyun's mischief again, and Daiyu was upset because of the run, but she didn't want to argue with her, so she had to hide her anger in her heart.Lin Ze was a little distressed, and he only touched Daiyu's hair and blamed himself: "It's all my brother's fault. When I was young, I often told you to listen to the words of 'no competition with the world' and 'tolerance and concessions', but it's your temper." getting weaker."

After speaking, he stood up and said, "Sister, don't belittle yourself. The ancestors of our Lin family were also five generations of princes, but it's the father's generation who has the kindness. But my father is a second-rank official in the dynasty, and so am I. Wouldn’t the work of the Imperial Academy be a hundred times better than that princely family who has no real power but fame?”

Just as he was talking, he heard a deep laugh.Both Daiyu and Lin Ze looked back, and it turned out that it was Lin Ruhai striding in, brushing his beard, and happened to hear Lin Ze's words, so he said with a smile: "Ze'er is right, my son is also Zhong Lingyuxiu, gifted and intelligent, How is it worse than others! I think my son has already been asked to marry me at a young age, so is there anyone else who can say nothing?"

One sentence was like a bolt from the blue, Daiyu and Lin Ze were both stunned.Daiyu came to her senses first, only blushed and stomped her feet before running into the inner room, leaving Lin Ze looking at Lin Ruhai with a face struck by lightning, and said in a low voice, "Master, which family came to marry my sister?" ah……"

"It's General Pei Yi, Marquis of Guannei."

"General Hou Pei in Guannei?"

Lin Ze understood, and suddenly remembered an unfinished conversation in Weiyang Academy a few days ago.I still remember that it was the first time he saw some faint redness and embarrassment on Pei Zijun's face. When Wen Xibai mentioned Daiyu, he was not angry yet, but it was Pei Zijun who stopped Wen Xi first. white voice.Seeing Lin Ze looking at him with clear eyes, he said a little embarrassedly: "The reputation of the girl's family is the most important thing, these things should not be discussed by outsiders."

Seeing that Lin Ze's eyes remained still, Pei Zijun cleared his throat and said, "Give me a few days, and I will give you an explanation."

At that time, Lin Ze thought in a daze that Pei Zijun was trying to make Shi Xiangyun look good, but he didn't expect... Wait!This is to marry Daiyu?I just caught a glimpse of Daiyu, why are you going to marry?No, he disagrees!

Seeing Lin Ze's initial blankness turned into surprise and now his face full of resentment, Lin Ruhai guessed what he was thinking.He just laughed and said, "Don't worry about this matter, and talk to me in the study for a while." After that, he took Lin Ze away one after the other.

Daiyu sat in the inner room, her pretty face flushed with shame.She had a glimpse of Ganlu Temple that day, and she was also deeply impressed by that young master.It was just because seeing that this was not what she should have done due to her background, she was really uneasy for two days, but fortunately, Lin Ze relieved her.He also said that the young master was an old friend of his Weiyang Academy, he was reliable and would not go out and talk nonsense, so he was relieved.

But who knows, I heard such news brought back by my father today!

The blush on Daiyu's face became deeper and deeper, that young master... Mr. Pei looked as reliable as his brother said.It's just that this matter... It's not something that a daughter like her should think about!Daiyu hurriedly covered her cheeks with her hands, she couldn't be so unreserved, she was so ashamed because of a foreigner!

Lin Ze and Lin Ruhai sat and stood in the study, but there was only one thought in their minds, this Pei family...to marry or not to marry?According to Lin Ze's thinking, Daiyu is only too old to marry so early!Moreover, although Big Brother Pei is reliable, is there any guarantee that he will change his mind in the future?Lin Ze is a hidden brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and he protects his family members to the end.

Although the friendship with Pei Zijun is also very good, but compared to his lovely sister, Pei Zijun has to stand aside.

But Lin Ruhai's thoughts are different from Lin Ze's.

Although Pei Yi is a Marquis of Guannei, he holds real power in his hands, which is completely different from those princely and noble families with empty names.There are also three sons in his family. The eldest son has been promoted to the second-class guard, but he is the fourth rank. He thinks he will be promoted to the first-class guard in the near future.The second son and Lin Ze had a classmate friendship, and they were the most knowledgeable, and now they are also working in the Ministry of Industry, and the doctor who is the fifth rank happens to be Jia Zheng's immediate boss.The third son is young but also has the air of being a father. It is said that he loves to dance swords and swords the most, arguing every day to go into battle and kill the enemy.

The head wife of the Pei family is also from everyone. She is straightforward and the easiest to get along with.The husband and wife are harmonious, and even the concubine has never entered the house, let alone the housekeeper and aunt. In the early years, the maid who had a big heart was kicked out by Master Pei and broke her face. People dare to play the idea of ​​being an aunt.

Everyone in the government and the public knew about this matter, and even the emperor laughed at it, so Lin Ruhai was deeply impressed by this matter.

It would be a beautiful thing if Daiyu was really married to the Pei family.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's satisfied expression, Lin Ze hurriedly said, "My lord, my sister is still young, so I'm too anxious to make it so early!"

Lin Ruhai shook his hand and sighed: "You don't know about this. Your grandmother's family is still thinking about the marriage with our family, thinking about the idea of ​​getting married. I don't like Jia Baoyu either. Your sister With such a character and appearance, it's not certain what will happen if you marry into Jia's family, so I absolutely cannot agree to your grandmother's wishes."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Ze again, and smiled strangely. "I don't know if it's your luck that your grandmother came up with your idea, but the girl from the Xue family entered the palace and became a concubine."

Lin Ze blinked, pretending to be innocent, and asked, "What does the master mean by this, I don't understand."

Lin Ruhai smiled and scolded "Splashing Monkey", and then smiled again: "Don't hide this matter, your grandmother invited me to the house several times before, and it was all excuses to shirk, but you He Yu'er had to go, she must have told you these words. Later your second uncle also came to see me once, I couldn't avoid it anymore, so I had to listen. It turns out that your grandmother wanted to kill Xue It's really hard for her to think about our family in everything."

Lin Ze could not help giving a thumbs up in his heart after hearing Lin Ruhai's tone and words.Sure enough, "Tan Hua Lang" is not for nothing. With this IQ, in modern times, he is No.3 in the national college entrance examination!It's awesome!

Received Lin Ze's adoring gaze, Lin Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Now that the Xue family's affairs are out of order, you are fine here, but your grandmother is still thinking about your sister. I can't bear to let your sister go out so early, she's still young, but we all know each other well. From what you can see, is it possible that the second son of the Pei family is a bad person?"

Lin Ze rubbed his face, what should he say!It's okay to say Pei Zijun, he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would marry Daiyu as soon as he was happy.But if Pei Zijun is not good, we have been classmates for so many years, and we are familiar with each other's temperament.Compared with Wen Xibai's flirtatious and evasive temperament, it is obvious that Pei Zijun is too reliable!

So after a compromise, Lin Ze gave the comment of "no bad habits".Seeing Lin Ruhai stroking his beard in satisfaction, Lin Ze hurriedly added, "Of course, it's far worse than me!"

"Go! You are so naughty!" Smiling and spat on Lin Ze, Lin Ruhai put the marriage of the Lin Pei family on the agenda with satisfaction.Although this matter is not in a hurry, it is the first happy event in the family since Linze High School.Even though it hasn't been settled yet, Lin Ruhai already has the melancholy feeling of marrying a daughter.

On the second day, Pei Yi personally brought Pei Zijun to visit Lin Ruhai. Lin Ze only had a face-to-face meeting with Pei Zijun, and saw that although Pei Zijun was a little embarrassed, he was still listening to Lin Ruhai with his back straight.Disgustingly curled his lips silently in his heart, thinking that his well-raised younger sister was going to be married back by this man, Lin Ze couldn't help exuding waves of resentment.The negative energy really attacked Pei Zijun properly. Fortunately, Pei Zijun was strong and unyielding under the attack of Lin Ruhai and Lin Ze.

After the discussion, General Pei is of course willing to let his daughter-in-law through the house earlier, but the elder son's marriage is also due this year, and the second son is not too old, not to mention that he is not a person with poor eyesight. It hurts to hold my daughter/sister in the palm of my hand, how can I be willing to let the girl go out so early.

So General Pei was also willing to be a favor, and just said: "When the girl in your mansion is old enough, our family will offer a dowry!"

Lin Ruhai reluctantly agreed to this, but Lin Ze was so sore in his heart.This is to marry Daiyu, Daiyu!That girl is like a fairy, Pei Zijun, if you dare to treat my sister badly, I will never let you go!Lin Ze, who was completely possessed by resentment, stared at Pei Zijun with big phoenix eyes, until Pei Zijun's back was wet with sweat before he gave up.

The father and son of the Lin family sent the father and son of the Pei family to the door. Before halfway there, they saw a fast horse galloping past the door, and then a eunuch got off the horse and started singing: "The emperor has an order, and Lin Ruhai accepts the order—! "

"Just go into the palace tomorrow?" Seeing Lin Ruhai holding the imperial decree in both hands, he only nodded after hearing this, Lin Ze asked suspiciously: "Then why do you want Yu'er and Lan'er to go together?"

Lin Ruhai tapped his forehead with one hand, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about, I will enter the palace with you tomorrow."

Lin Ze thought about it, yes.With Lin Ruhai here, no matter what happens, there is someone to take care of her.very good.

Sure enough, the next morning, the Lin family was fully equipped and got into the carriage with the eunuch who came to pick them up. When the group arrived at the palace, there was a mother-in-law with a maid and an eunuch who carried a sedan chair to pick up Daiyu to Kunning Palace. say.The three of Lin's father and son followed the eunuch into the Hall of Qinzheng to meet the Holy Majesty.

The emperor hadn't seen Lin Ze for a few days, and when he saw him, he naturally asked all kinds of questions, only regretting that the time was too short.Lin Ze answered one by one with a smile, but he didn't seem nervous.He had gotten along with the emperor once before, and had some understanding of the emperor's temperament.Unlike that kind of unpredictable emperor, this emperor is very kind and easy to get along with.

It's just that Lin Ze doesn't know that such an emperor only treats him like this.

The emperor pulled Lin Ze to talk a lot, asked if he was tired of working in the Hanlin Academy, and asked Lin Ze what kind of official he wanted to be in the future, but the smile on Lin Ze's face froze, before he said with a smile "Since we're here today, let's have lunch in the palace. Lin Qing and I still have something to say, Eunuch Gao, take Xiao Linqing and the others to the queen's place."

Lin Ze felt more at ease when he saw that Eunuch Gao was a common executive in the Shen mansion in the city.After bidding farewell to the emperor and Lin Ruhai, he took Lin Lan's hand and followed Eunuch Gao all the way to Kunning Palace without hindrance.

As soon as they entered the Kunning Palace, they saw the empress sitting in the middle, Lin Ze and Lin Lan hurriedly saluted, and only got up and stood aside when they heard the empress yelling.

The queen was still pulling Daiyu to talk, but when she saw Lin Ze and Lin Lan coming in, all kinds of emotions came to her heart.Fearing that the two children would kneel for a long time, he hurriedly called them up.Seeing them retreating and standing aside in a sensible manner, I feel even more compassionate in my heart.Then he waved to Lin Lan and said, "Good boy, come and show me."

Lin Lan glanced at his brother, and walked up to the queen under his encouraging eyes.

The queen was only about forty years old, with gentle eyes and a kind temper. She took Lin Lan's hand and asked him how old he was with a smile, and asked him what books he had read, then asked someone to bring fruit and snacks for Lin Lan to sit beside him and eat. .Seeing Lin Lan happily holding the hand of the nanny to eat snacks, the queen then turned her attention to Lin Ze. Seeing Lin Ze standing there tall and tall, with a gentle smile and clear eyes, her eyes were slightly wet .

"Is this Xiao Linqing? I usually hear the emperor praise you for being young but capable. I thought it would be great if I could see you." After speaking, she asked Lin Ze to come closer.

As soon as Lin Zecai approached, the queen carefully looked at Lin Ze's appearance, and saw that there was still a bit of gentleness between his brows, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned. The corners of the phoenix eyes are slightly twitched, a little flamboyant for no reason.This kind of appearance, born on Lin Ze, was covered up by his boyishness. If it was born on a woman, I don't know how to be beautiful!

When the emperor came to Kunning Palace, he saw the queen joking with Daiyu, Lin Ze was sitting next to the Prime Minister, but Lin Lan had already fallen asleep next to Lin Ze.Seeing this scene, the emperor also lightened his steps, and said softly with a smile on his mouth: "Xiao Linqing's younger brother is afraid of catching a cold when he is asleep, so why don't you ask mother to carry him to sleep."

After finishing speaking, the nanny next to the queen came up and gently picked up Lin Lan and went to the side hall.

Both Lin Ze and Daiyu stood up
