Battle of the Red Mansions

The end of the new year was approaching, and the weather was extremely cold, everyone in Lin's mansion was filled with joy, and the smiles on the faces of the master and servants dispelled the chill of the winter a lot.

Brother Yi, who had already been running around in the yard, looked at the lanterns outside curiously, and insisted on taking one down to play with. Fortunately, there were a lot of lanterns left at home. Seeing that the younger brother was making a lot of noise, Lin Yu hurriedly gave up The man went to fetch another lantern.

"Play with this first, and when the Lantern Festival arrives, my brother will take you and sister Dai out to buy lanterns."

Brother Yi was naughty, and when he made a fuss, the bosses settled down next to him, and his father said that his uncle was not so naughty when he was a child.

Thinking that his uncle will be back in the next two days, Lin Yu's smile became stronger. It has been five or six years since his uncle left, and it is really not easy to see him.

It was windy outside, Brother Yi couldn't put it down holding the lantern, Lin Yu bent down and picked up his younger brother, and then walked towards the inner courtyard.

The slim Daiyu was sitting next to their mother. The tall and tall girl looked gentle and pleasant. Walking outside, she could attract the attention of many young men.

A few years ago when the Rongguo Mansion fell and the house was ransacked, a lot of things that shouldn't be in the Rong Mansion were found in the house. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai was there to deal with the family and the young and old were all right.

All of a sudden, they went from being rich to struggling to survive. Their family had a large population. The old lady couldn't bear the blow and died of illness not long after. Jia Min helped with the old lady's funeral. After being sad for a while, she didn't want to care about it. Too much.

Without the title, the house was ransacked, and the people in Rongning Second Mansion didn't plan to stay in the capital anymore, and they didn't have the face to stay here any longer.

Seeing this situation, the Xue family who came here to join their relatives had to make another plan. Fortunately, Xue Baochai has grown up and can make up his mind when things happen. Another shop was opened elsewhere.

Xue Baochai, who is becoming more and more sophisticated, will tightly control Xue Pan, who likes to make troubles. Now, unlike before, their family can't stand the trouble.

It stands to reason that with so many people in the Jia family, and Jia Min's help at the beginning, life should be easier than that of the Xue family, but this is not the case. There are so many people in the Jia family, and even a little girl is better than the Xue family. but.

When the old lady was around, she still wanted Baochai and Baoyu to get married. Later, when the incident happened, Baochai didn’t want to marry so early. His brother didn’t have a good job, and my mother had no idea. This family can’t do without her. .

But Baoyu, because there were no monks or priests to rescue him, the spoiled child couldn't bear the pain, and was bored all day long, and gradually refused to go out.

If you let him study, he can't continue to read, and if you let him do business, he looks down on those vulgar people. In the end, he really can't do it, so he can only eat and drink at home.

Although Jia Zheng doted on this son, he saw that although the children of other families could not share the family's worries, they could still study. His son, who was favored by the old lady, was incapable of writing or martial arts, so he wanted to mention it once he saw him. If Mrs. Wang hadn't protected Mrs. Wang once, Baoyu would have been beaten to death by him.

But these are all things for later, Rong Ning and Ning Fu returned to their hometown in Jinling, and their contact with the capital became less and less. Lin Ruhai deliberately avoided it, so their family has been peaceful in the capital these years.

"Father, mother, Brother Yi insisted on taking off the lantern on the gate. My son had no choice but to find a small lantern for him to play with." Putting Brother Yu on the ground, Lin Yu put Smooth out the wrinkles on the clothes, and then look at Brother Yi to keep him from running around.

Looking at his eldest son with a smile, Lin Ruhai shook his head and filled the teacup in front of him. These two brothers are very similar to him and Ah Xuan back then. I don't know what kind of road Yi brother will take when he grows up.

"Our family hasn't produced a military general for hundreds of years, but there was an exception here with Ah Xuan. Now it seems that Brother Yi will not be a worry in the future." Sighing in a low voice, Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of smiles. He supports what his son does, as long as he doesn't take his own life seriously like their uncle.

Recalling that not long ago, Lord Ning An wrote a letter and came back to complain that the boy dared to go deep into the desert with only a few dozen people. He was afraid in his heart. How did Xie Qiong teach his apprentice? Why is he so desperate?

But when he thought about it again, General Xie himself was no better than his apprentices, so Lin's elder brother couldn't raise his temper at all.

Xie Qiong led the order to wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast, and when he was provoked, he handed over a note to the emperor and then went straight to his hometown, forcibly adding a few small subordinate countries to the Daqing Dynasty. This temper is no good.

One of the masters and apprentices harmed the island country on the sea, and the other ran around in the grassland and desert every day to harm the nomads. It is hard to say who led the other.

As they were talking here, someone came running outside and said that the second master was back, Lin Ruhai smiled even more, and asked his wife to sit in the room, and he went out to have a look by himself.

General Lin, who was dressed in bright colors and looked very festive, led Li Feisha back, squinting at Prince Ning'an with a smirk on his face, "Don't go back on what you just said."

"I listen to you, I listen to you." Looking at Lin Xuan helplessly, Tu Jingyang shook his head, handed the horse to the servant who came by, and walked in together.

She is still so childish when she is too old, she has no choice but to pamper her.

In the end it was his own fault this time, Tu Jingyang didn't hesitate, he coaxed him a few more times and he was relieved to see the man's face improve.

If it keeps going on like this, God knows what else this kid can do.

Although many people knew about their relationship, apart from Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, even Lin Yu and Daiyu didn't know much about their relationship.

The last time I came here with Lin Xuan, it can be said that it happened to be in time for Brother Yi's full moon banquet, but it is not so easy to explain that I came here again this time during the Chinese New Year.

But this time, these two people have nothing to hide. General Lin has been thinking for the past two years that some people in the public province will send some coquettish men to their prince, and pretend that he doesn't exist?

Knowing that Tu Jingyang would come back together, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were not too surprised, but Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then stood in front of their sister in a blink of an eye.

Not knowing whether to go inside to hide for a while, Daiyu got up and looked at their mother, her eyes were rarely at a loss.

He teased his little nephew recklessly. He had never seen him before, but Brother Yu wasn't afraid. General Lin almost grinned to his ear and picked up his little nephew. Then he pointed at Tu Jingyang and said to Lin Yu and Daiyu, " Don't hide, this is your aunt."

???

The two children froze in place. They looked at Lin Xuan who was holding the child, and then at Prince Ning An who stood helplessly at the side and didn't explain anything. They didn't know how to answer the words for a moment.

Uncle, do you really have a clear conscience when you say this?

The two brothers and sisters were silent for a moment, looked at each other and found that they couldn't scream, so they could only call out to the prince in a low voice, and obediently hid behind their parents.

They are still young, let the grown-ups solve the adult's affairs, the two of them can't stand a joke.

However, not only Lin Yu and Daiyu couldn't speak, but even the well-informed Lin Ruhai and his wife were stunned by Lin Xuan's words. , No one in the hall spoke.

Looking at their brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces with a bitter face, Lin Xuan put down Brother Yi, "As for this, well, well, call it whatever you like, I don't care."

Glaring at Tu Jingyang unobtrusively, Lin Xuan curled her lips, no wonder she agreed so readily, she was waiting for him here.

Prince Ning'an smiled happily, raised his eyebrows and glanced at General Lin, then waved his sleeves and greeted Lin Ruhai and his wife in a serious manner, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Brother and sister Lin Yu with horrified faces: They are the only ones who don't know about co-authoring?

"Brother, my sister doesn't get along with my uncle very much on weekdays, so it's understandable if I don't know, why doesn't my brother know about it?" Quietly and Lin Yu moved away, Daiyu squinted her eyes at the elder who was talking, and then Turning to look at their brother.

"Brother was negligent." Lin Yu tugged at his hair annoyedly, and Lin Yu, who had rarely had this kind of situation since having Brother Yi, patted Daiyu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, sister, this is just an accident. With a sweetheart, my brother will definitely investigate that person's family."

Her complexion darkened in an instant, and Daiyu looked at their elder brother with a half-smile, "It's better not to bother my elder brother, it's better for my elder brother to think about which of the portraits my father sent me a few days ago is my sister-in-law."

"..."

Bring back their well-behaved and lovely sister. He doesn't know who this sharp-mouthed girl is!
