Battle of the Red Mansions

Lin Xuan was a little dumbfounded. Is it really his sister-in-law who "has seen all the swords, guns and sticks" in his brother's mouth?

With his brother's temperament, shouldn't he be attracted to a lady who is proficient in all kinds of poetry, book, etiquette and music, but can't speak loudly? Why is this young lady of Rongguo Mansion different from what he thinks?

Could it be that he has been a little too noisy these years, and accidentally distorted the eldest brother's aesthetics?

In Lin Xuan's imagination, even if his brother gets married, he and his wife will be in the same state of harmony and harmony in the future. If the sister-in-law is interested in swords and the like...

He really couldn't imagine what the family would be like in the future.

The surprise in Lin Xuan's eyes was too obvious, Lin Ruhai smiled, sat across from him and explained to him exactly what kind of existence Rongguo Mansion is.

Since you want to get married with the Rongguo Mansion, it's okay not to know each other at all.

Besides, with Ah Xuan's temperament, she would have to go to the army in the future. In this case, it would be good to have some understanding of the situation in the capital earlier.

"This Rong Guogong lineage existed with the founding emperor back then."

The Lin family started much earlier than the Jia family, and the wars of changing dynasties usually took place in the Central Plains. Even if the clans from the south of the Yangtze River participated in it, most of them would not suffer any major losses in the end.

The ancestors of the Lin family came up with plans to attack the city and break the formation while talking and laughing. This Jia family was the one that led thousands of troops for the emperor. Even now, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Jia's generation, is still deeply in the emperor's heart.

Rong Guogong has a casual personality and has a high prestige in the army. As the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, Jia Min didn't say that she grew up with her father in the military camp, at least she is no stranger to the operations in the camp.

Of the three children in Rongguo Mansion, the two males together are not as smart as Jia Min alone. It is no wonder that Duke Rong is so partial to this daughter.

Speaking of the young lady of the Rongguo Mansion who is about to become his wife, Lin Ruhai's eyes unconsciously brought a smile. The young master of the Lin family suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking at his brother's expression, it was obvious that the focus had shifted to the future. The sister-in-law is on it.

The corner of his mouth twitched and he quickly stopped his brother. Lin Xuan sat there with a serious face, "Brother, when sister-in-law comes over, my brother must be well-behaved and obedient, and he will definitely not insult Lin's family tradition."

"You......"

Smiling and rubbing the little head that came close to him, Lin Ruhai relaxed a little, as long as Ah Xuan is happy, if the younger brother really rejects his marriage, it's really hard for him to deal with it.

Sitting and swaying for a while and then stood up, Lin Xuan slapped the big hands on his head away and said softly, "Brother, I have said it many times, touching the head will not grow taller."

If it wasn't for this kid not eating well, he wouldn't be called over by the maid.

"Okay, let's go play by yourself." Lin Ruhai laughed hoarsely, and waved his hand to indicate that this brat can go out, "Remember to eat well, otherwise you will not grow taller."

After gesturing on his chest, Lin Ruhai looked at his younger brother's size and smiled happily.

"Brother, you are no longer the brother who loves me and loves me." Clutching his chest with an expression of disbelief, the young master of the Lin family said that his heart has been greatly traumatized, the kind that nothing can make up for it.

He is only fifteen this year, so he is naturally not as good as his elder brother who is already in his 20s, but he can continue to grow. As the elder brother of a man in his 20s, can you continue to grow?

Snorting to indicate that he will definitely grow taller in the future, Lin Xuan waved his fist, then turned around and left the study without looking back.

Shaking his head and looking at the younger brother who had regained his vitality, Lin Ruhai smiled and looked at the back who did not forget to close the door lightly even though he was pretending to be angry, got up and went to the desk to find out many letters sent from the capital.

After getting married in the clan land, they will leave Gusu for Yangzhou.

Since ancient times, the salt and iron official camp has been related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The emperor gave him the fat job of inspecting the salt censor. For him today, it is not sure whether it is good or bad!

Although the official position of Yushi is only a seventh-rank official position, once it is related to salt administration, it can't just be said in terms of rank.

This is an official that only the emperor's cronies can do, especially in the affluent area of ​​Jianghuai, where he is closely watched by all parties.

Putting him in Yangzhou to manage the salt administration in the Jianghuai area, the emperor gave him a difficult problem. Thinking of the chaotic officialdom in Jiangnan, Lin Ruhai curled his lips, but he had no intention of retreating.

Their Lin family has only a few heirs, and there are only him and Ah Xuan in this generation. The blood relationship between the rest of the family and them is already far away, so there is really no hope for anything.

Their family no longer has the qualifications to be a prince, so he can only rely on himself. Ah Xuan is still young, and his temperament has not yet settled down. He can't let his younger brother follow him to carry a declining Lin family in the future.

Lin Ruhai is not so incompetent.

Thinking of the half-grown boy who still acts like a baby with him now, Lin Ruhai smiled unconsciously. The emperor asked him to manage the Jianghuai Salt Administration because he trusted him. For this trust, he will try his best to clear Jiangnan officialdom.

There are many salt merchants in the Lianghuai area, and each of them has a backer. Among them are salt merchants who are desperate to make money and sell private salt, the imperial court, salt merchants, and salt officials. Once the balance is broken, he will be the first to fall Tour salt censor.

Have to be careful!

Not knowing what his brother was thinking at all, the young master of the Lin family clenched his fists as soon as he left the study and went to A-Gump who was guarding the door, "A-Gump?"

Looking at the master who was pretending to be fierce but even more childish, Lin A-Gump suppressed a smile and lowered his head, "Master?"

Thinking that this was at the door of the study, if they made a fuss, it might disturb the eldest brother's business, Lin Xuan gritted her teeth, gave the little follower a hard look, and walked out first.

"A-Gump, if you go on like this, you will be beaten, do you know?"

A-Gump is Lin Xuan's nanny's child, the two grew up together, and their relationship is no different from that of a brother. It is because of this that when Lin Xuan was in a bad mood, he dared to open his eyes to the maid who went to inform him. Close your eyes.

Lin Xuan muttered something with a slight complaint, A-Gump just scratched his head and smiled, letting their young master talk.

You don't need to look back to know how the little follower will react. Lin Xuan curled her lips. Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't say anything today. If it was normal, seeing him climbing a tree would definitely be a lot of big characters. He is so old that he still needs to write Big characters?

The young master of the Lin family, who absolutely refused to admit that he couldn't write well now, curled his lips, and then turned his head to signal A-Gump to hurry up, they still have things to do today.

He was born to wield knives and guns, so does he need to be as good at writing as his elder brother?

It is enough for Feng Ya to have his brother, he will not join in the fun, and it is best to practice martial arts according to his own heart.

After only a while, he forgot all about the matter just now, and waited for A-Gump to follow up and whispered something in his ear. The young master of the Lin family stood happily at the door and waited. The eldest brother was going to get married, so as a younger brother, he couldn't just say nothing.

He is easy to support himself and can take whatever he wants, but his brother is different.

The young master of the Lin family, who thinks he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, has never been sloppy in dealing with his elder brother. He doesn't have much impression of his father, but he also knows that he is a gentle and refined person who refuses to say serious words. The eldest brother who brought up has perfectly inherited his father's demeanor, and the bookish atmosphere that emerges from his bones is the best proof.

It's a pity that he can only look at it in his life.

For the past few days, I have been struggling with what kind of world I am in. Even such a big thing as the eldest brother getting married has been ignored, which is really wrong.

Isn't it the Red Mansion? He, a person who shouldn't exist, has lived such a good life, and he will definitely not follow the book in the future. Besides, he has some impressions of what may happen in the future, and he can't avoid some bad things in advance. thing?

Therefore, what he is struggling with now is not as important as choosing a gift for his brother.

The author has something to say: Master Lin (┓(???`?)┏): My brother is spoiled, what can I do, I can only get used to it.

A pampered elder brother:  …
