Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Naturally, Lin Xuan didn't care about Jia Baoyu's thoughts. After seeing Jia's mother agreeing, he chatted with everyone for a while, and took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.For Lin Xuan, since his goal had been achieved and Mother Jia agreed to let him go, there was no need to stay any longer. Just take Lin Daiyu back. He and the Jia family had nothing in common.

Mother Jia pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Daiyu again, and said with a smile: "That's fine, Daiyu has been away from home for so many years, and now you have finally come to Beijing, and the family is reunited. I don't want to keep you at this time. As long as the two remember to come and see me as an old woman more in the future, I will be satisfied."

Lin Xuan naturally agreed with a smile, and then asked Wang Xifeng to give them a ride, and sent them all the way to the door of Jia's house. After seeing the two leave, Wang Xifeng went back to the door.

As early as when Lin Xuan came, he had prepared a carriage specially for Lin Daiyu. At this time, naturally, there was nothing to say. After the group packed up, they set off for the Lin Mansion.

This capital city is far more prosperous than other places. Lin Xuan just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and he didn't have time to take a stroll. Moreover, he thought that Lin Ruhai should not come out just like that after entering the palace, so he simply told everyone to slow down and go slowly. It is enough for the Lin family to rush, and it will also allow him to take a good look at the imperial capital.

Lin Xuan's approach is quite in line with Lin Daiyu's wishes. Women in this era are extremely restrained, and ordinary ladies are not allowed to go out alone. They are not like those modern TV dramas that can walk around in the streets.

Moreover, because Lin Daiyu was raised in front of Jia Mu, she hadn't even been out of the house a few times, and her personal connections were extremely closed. She was not like other ladies who would be taken by her mother to participate in various events This kind of gathering, so in terms of familiarity with the capital, she is probably similar to Lin Xuan who just came to the capital, or even worse than Lin Xuan.

Therefore, she was also very happy with Lin Xuan's decision to slow down, and from time to time she secretly lifted the curtain to look out.

After leaving Rongning Street and entering the main road, it became more and more lively. There are so many people, even if you don’t want to slow down now, you can’t help it. But thinking of Lin Junyao, Lin Xuan looked around the roadside Tan looked over, the gadgets he bought for Lin Junyao before, because of the long distance, too many things, and the inconvenient schedule, they all stayed in Gusu. At this opportunity, Lin Xuan wanted to make up for her.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan got off his horse, went to the small stalls on the side of the road, picked out some small things, and bought two kites, one in the shape of an eagle, which he bought for himself, and the other was a The appearance of a swallow is for Lin Junyao. Most of the women in this era are not in good health. If you think about it, you will know that it is strange if they are in good health.

Considering this, and thinking that Lin Junyao can't learn some martial arts like him, he used to buy some kites, shuttlecocks and other things for Lin Junyao to play with, hoping that she could exercise more and improve her physique. Of course, In his spare time, Lin Xuan would also accompany Lin Junyao to fly kites and so on. It was for leisure and entertainment, but also to increase the brother-sister relationship. He didn't want to raise a sister who turned her elbows outward.

After buying these things, Lin Xuan just wanted to get on his horse and continue on his way, but when he saw Lin Daiyu's carriage, he seemed to think of something suddenly, stopped again, thought for a while, then turned around and bought some small things for Lin Daiyu .

After getting on the horse again, Lin Xuan's mood was not as relaxed as before, because he suddenly thought of a problem. After Lin Daiyu returned to the Lin Mansion, Lin Junyao's position would become very awkward. She was the only girl in the family , and I show my love for this younger sister in front of the servants all the time, and Lin Ruhai also likes this daughter under Cheng Huan's knee very much, so although Lin Junyao is a concubine, her status in the Lin Mansion is very high. People in the mansion generally forget about Lin Daiyu who is far away in the capital, but regard Lin Junyao as the eldest lady of the mansion. Generally, if they have any good clothes and jewelry, they will send them to Lin Junyao, even Lin Ruhai and Lin Xuan Whatever good things they get will be sent to Lin Junyao.

But now that Lin Daiyu comes back, Lin Junyao will definitely not be the same as before. In terms of status, Lin Daiyu is the daughter of the concubine, and Lin Junyao is the daughter of the concubine. In terms of favor, Lin Daiyu, who has been away from home for many years and is the daughter of the concubine, must be able to get Lin Ruhai more than Lin Junyao. Even if these two points were not mentioned, Lin Junyao would not be able to control everything if there was an extra daughter in this family. Even I might have to maintain an attitude towards the two younger sisters on the surface.

The love of her father and elder brother has been divided, and her own status has declined. Coupled with the difference in identity with Lin Daiyu, this will be an indescribable gap for the little girl.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, it seems that he must discuss with Shen Shuang about adopting Lin Junyao under her name as soon as possible.

In fact, Lin Xuan had considered this matter a long time ago, but his idea was to wait for Shen Shuang to have no heirs in a few years, and then talk to Shen Shuang. I believe that by then Shen Shuang would be much more receptive , Moreover, Lin Junyao is still young, and the difference in identity is not so obvious, so there is no need to be so anxious, but now that Lin Daiyu has returned, I am afraid that there is no need to be anxious. There is no such thing as the existence of watching words and watching colors, stepping on the low and holding the high.

Looking back at Lin Daiyu's carriage, Lin Xuan frowned deeply, but how should he mention this matter to Shen Shuang?

Soon, before Lin Xuan could come up with a solution, the gate of the Lin Mansion was in sight. The servants around him had already prepared the sedan chair, let Lin Daiyu get out of the carriage, got into the sedan chair, and then a few strong men The mother-in-law carried the sedan chair in.

Seeing Lin Daiyu go in through the corner gate, Lin Xuan got off the horse too, handed the whip in his hand to the boy who came to meet him, and asked as he walked in, "Is father back?"

"Go back to uncle, the master has returned from the palace, and is waiting for the uncle and the girl in the study." The young man was very clever, and immediately replied.

Lin Xuan nodded, glanced at the things held by the servant behind him, and said lightly: "I bought these things for the two ladies, you can send them separately."

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan asked again: "Did Madam tell me where to arrange the girl?"

There are already two girls in the mansion, but the young man knew exactly which girl Lin Xuan was referring to. After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "My wife means to arrange it next to the second girl's yard." Well, it is said that the two girls are together, and there is also a care."

Lin Xuan kept walking, but he snorted coldly in his heart, what is taking care of each other, the two are not real sisters, what are they taking care of? It is understandable to use Lin Junyao to test Lin Daiyu's temperament, after all Lin Junyao has nothing to do with Shen Shuang.

Lin Xuan pondered for a while, and then said: "You have someone tell my sister, I'll be there in a while."

Originally, Lin Daiyu had just returned home, and everything was still unfamiliar, so he should have gone to see Lin Daiyu, but he was afraid that after Lin Daiyu came back, these servants would change their direction, so Lin Xuan had to express his attitude, otherwise, It's hard to guarantee what those servants will think.

The servant naturally responded respectfully, but in fact, it was Lin Xuan who was too worried this time. His servants had noticed his love for Lin Junyao all these years, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect Lin Junyao.

What's more, Lin Xuan's different names for Lin Junyao and Lin Daiyu have clearly expressed his attitude, and these servants will naturally understand.

Arriving at Lin Ruhai's study room, Lin Xuan knocked on the door lightly, and walked in after hearing the sound of entering. Lin Ruhai was sitting on a chair at this time with his eyes closed and meditating. Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, he asked: "I'm back, How is it, has Yu'er brought it back?"

Lin Xuan nodded, and said softly: "My sister has already picked it up, I believe she will come here in a while."

Although Lin Ruhai asked such a question, he obviously already had the answer, so he didn't care about it at this time. He pondered for a while, and then said to Lin Xuan: "I entered the palace this time, not only to confirm my entry According to the news from the Pavilion, the Holy Majesty has granted me the position of Prince and Taifu, what do you think about this?"

As Lin Xuan grows up, Lin Ruhai will let Lin Xuan learn to think and deal with some less complicated things slowly, but he has never asked him about things like today. After arriving in Beijing for the first time, with a sense of crisis, he will speed up the training of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan went to the chair in front of Lin Ruhai and sat down. After thinking carefully, he said cautiously: "The current emperor has not established a crown prince. It must be a deep meaning for my father to take the position of prince and tutor at this time. Could it be that the emperor thinks There is already a candidate for the crown prince."

Hearing Lin Xuan's analysis, a flash of relief flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes. His son really never let him down, and the Lin family has a successor.

Feeling deeply in his heart, Lin Ruhai began to explain carefully to Lin Xuan, only to see him calmly said: "More than that, if you want to come to the prince in the emperor's mind, the power must be very weak, no match for the others Prince, that's why the emperor appointed me as the crown prince's tutor, because he wanted to protect his father and escort the prince, maybe the emperor will make an exception and let me join the cabinet, and there are some reasons for this."

Lin Xuan nodded silently, Lin Ruhai's analysis was still very reasonable, but who would be the heir apparent in the emperor's mind.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Ruhai, and asked suspiciously: "Father, in your opinion, who will be the heir apparent?"

Unexpectedly by Lin Xuan, Lin Ruhai shook his head, he pondered for a while, and then said: "My father has been away from the capital for these years, although I can get some information, but after all, I have never had contact with those princes, and my majesty It’s hard to guess who the candidate is in my mind.”

Seeing that Lin Xuan's face gradually turned solemn, Lin Ruhai smiled again: "However, you don't have to worry too much, we don't need to guess about this matter by ourselves, since the emperor made Weifu the prince and tutor, then when the time comes When necessary, he will definitely indicate what to do as a father, and the Holy Majesty does not necessarily have the intention of establishing a prince."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Lin Xuan also relaxed slowly. In fact, these truths can be understood after careful thought. Not to mention that they might guess wrong, the emperor actually didn't mean it.

Even if they guessed right, they have been far away from the capital for these years. When they just returned to the capital, it is obviously impossible for them to accurately judge who is the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind. If the judgment is wrong, things will not be good done.

And, in other words, even if they really guessed exactly who the lucky prince is, what can they do, can they approach the prince without the emperor's explicit hint?

If he really did that, what would the emperor think, how would he treat Lin Ruhai, whom he had always regarded as his confidant?
