The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Chapter 138

After King Changping left Beijing, the court temporarily calmed down.The illness of the thirteenth prince in the palace came and went, and it seemed that he would not recover until the New Year's Eve.Everyone was cautious in their words and deeds, and the palace suddenly calmed down.

King Le Fu was busy with the logistics and internal affairs after leading the army, and was rarely in the mansion during the day.Lin Mingyu and others accompanied Tu Yan to practice calligraphy, riding and shooting, and they were also happy and relaxed.

In fact, Tu Yanxu is fifteen years old, and after the new year, he can go on errands, Lin Mingyu and others should also think about their own future.After lunch, Tu Yan did not bid farewell to everyone and went back to his room to rest as before. He stood up and said to Lin Mingyu and Su Buzhan who got up and were about to leave: "Mingyu, Buzhan, wait a moment, follow me Sit in the Warm Pavilion for a while."

Lin Mingyu knew that he had something to say, so he and Su Buzhan exchanged glances, and they both followed.

There is a kang burning in the warm pavilion, and there is a brazier in the corner of the room. Open the curtain to get the heat from the shop.Su Buzhan walked and said with a smile: "This is a good place to take a nap. In such a cold day, I feel warm to the bones when I enter this room."

Tu Yan smiled: "There are many good places here. Since it's so good, how come you can't stay here every day, and you have to go out when you have free time? Presumably the house in the Shangshu Mansion is better than mine? "

Lin Tu and Lin Tu already knew that Su Buzhan liked Ms. Du from Yi Shangshu's Mansion, and they would occasionally use this to tease him in private.

As soon as these words came out, several people laughed. Su Buzhan was not ashamed, with a bit of pride between his brows, he laughed and said: "Where is it, your place is a good place. Don't worry about laughing at me, what's the matter?" Command, brothers, listen."

Lin Mingyu said seriously: "It's okay for the son to speak directly."

Tu Yan let the two of them onto the kang, watched the servant girl bring tea, each offered a cup, then retreated, the room was quiet, Fang said: "I am fifteen years old, and I should Do some errands with my brothers and elders, experience and practice. You are brothers before me, and I am not lying, I don’t know what you think about this matter?"

"Did the son have a plan?" Lin Mingyu asked.

Tu Yan nodded, "There is an opportunity in front of us. Uncle Wang of Changping went out to fight, and it is time to employ people. My father has already told Uncle Wang that I will follow behind to do some errands. If there is someone you can trust, you can also bring along Let’s be a companion together. The trustworthy people around me are naturally headed by the two of you. I’m just thinking about how hard this matter is, because I want to ask you guys, if you want to go, then there’s nothing to say, I’ll come Arrangements. If you don’t like it, that’s okay, I’ve chosen someone else, and you’re still my good brothers, and we’ll make arrangements after I return. I wonder what you two think?”

Lin Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, she never thought that Tu Yan would have such an opportunity to be favored by King Changping.This is indeed an excellent opportunity to experience myself, and I have been here for so many years, and I have been to no other places except Kyoto and Fujian.Now you can go to the border for a walk, which is exactly what you want.Besides, the border is not only war-torn, but where there is war, there must be great opportunities.Thinking about it this way, Lin Mingyu's heart was unavoidably ready to move.

Su Buzhan also had a surprised expression, and it could be seen that Tu Yan's proposal moved him quite a bit.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

Tu Yan didn't urge him, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, quietly waiting for their decision.

This matter cannot be decided immediately, Lin and Su are both teenagers, and there is no other brother at home, the frontier, the place of battle, must be threatened everywhere.Two people don't think about it for a while.

Although Tu Yan was drinking tea, he was also observing the expressions of the two of them all the time, seeing that they seemed to have made up their minds, he smiled and said: "But you have an idea?"

Su Buzhan took a look at Lin Mingyu and motioned him to speak first.

Lin Mingyu said: "I am very interested in what the son said. Besides, this opportunity is really rare. Personally, I am willing to go with the son. It's just that this is not a small matter. After I go back to the mansion to discuss with my father, I will give the son the opportunity to go." Accurate responses."

Tu Yan said: "It's natural. Although the chance is great, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Although my father and uncle Wang have made perfect arrangements, it's better to be cautious. Don't touch it?"

"I'm just like Mingyu. You know me. You haven't left Kyoto for half a step since you were born. You've wanted to go out for a long time. Besides, a man is alive to make contributions. Of course, I'm willing to go. Treat me today Go back and talk to my father and uncle, and I must persuade them to let me go. Wait for my good news!"

Tu Yan smiled and said: "Very well, I'll just wait for the good news from you two."

Because of this incident, the three young people were very interested, and they couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. Speaking of the frontier customs and anecdotes about this incident, Lin Mingyu took the opportunity to listen to the stories of the barbarians.

When it was time to arrive at Shen Shi, Lin Mingyu thanked Tu Yan for a meal, and left first.Seeing this, Su Buzhan also stood up and followed.

After parting from Su Buzhan by the side of the road, Lin Mingyu rode his horse to a halt, called Lin Da to his side, and said, "Ada, go and tell Young Master Tu to ask him to meet at the small house at the beginning of Xu, and tell him that I want to meet you." We need to negotiate."

Lin Da took the order to go, but Lin Mingyu didn't return home, so he rode his horse to the six yamen.

Lin Hai was still in the yamen, when Lin Mingyu went, the officials from the household department had just come out after reporting their affairs, and when they saw him, they nodded their heads.Lin Mingyu hid to one side, waiting for everyone to leave before entering the room.

"Father." Lin Mingyu called out.

Lin Hai raised his head from the case, and said with a smile, "Did you come from Lefu Prince's Mansion, or from the mansion?"

Lin Mingyu said: "Just came from Prince Lefu's mansion, the son said something, my son was hesitant, so I came here to discuss it with my father."

Lin Mingyu said that he had already walked to the desk, and seeing the granary account books submitted by various departments on Lin Hai's desk, he said, "Father is busy now? Is there anything I can do?"

Lin Hai closed the account books, stood up and said, "It's nothing. The food, grass, and supplies for the first batch have been prepared, and Hu Zihua will escort them. Things will not be so tense in the future. You can take a breath. Let me talk about yours first." matter."

Lin Mingyu followed Lin Hai to sit at the table, talked about Tu Yan's proposal from the beginning to the end, and said what he thought. After speaking, he looked at Lin Hai and waited quietly for his reply.

Lin Hai paused for a while, then Fang said: "You have analyzed this matter very well. You are my only son, talented and courageous, which is very good. Why should I object to you going? Since you have done a good job yourself If you have a choice, then go for it, the only thing you can give you as a father is a piece of advice 'be cautious in your words and deeds, protect yourself'."

Lin Mingyu was very happy. He thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade his father. Who knew that his father was much more free and easy than he imagined, and he was much more open-minded. He didn't even persuade him to keep a distance from the Changping Palace. The admonition, Mingyu will keep it in mind. Then I will talk to Shizi tomorrow."

Lin Hai nodded and got excited, explaining the situation in the Southwest to him in detail.

Because the logistics work of the army's expedition came to an end, the officials of the household department breathed a sigh of relief. They worked overtime for several nights in a row, and there were not a few people who didn't even have time to go home and stay in the yamen. At this time, they all came on time. Pleaded guilty to the chief officer, and all went home.

Lin Hai and the others left, Fang got up and said to Lin Mingyu, "Yu'er, let's go home too."

Lin Mingyu hurriedly took care of the pommel horse for her father, and followed her father back home.

I haven't seen the old master in the mansion for many days, but this time, Lin Heng and others are busy with their work.The whole mansion was full of joy, Lin Rui said: "Uncle is not at home, I always feel that there is a lack of backbone. This time back to the mansion, the servants are all happy."

Lin Heng personally brought the copper basin over, and after Lin Hai had cleaned his face, he put on the handkerchief again. Hearing Lin Rui's words, he jokingly said, "What Jiuye said is that I'm not used to looking at our uncle. Every day, I will come to the master's room to have a look."

Lin Hai smiled and said: "It's only been a few days, you all said it like the sky is about to fall. Stop talking, let others listen to you and make fun of you."

The family got together for dinner, and Lin Hai called Lin Rui into the study.Lin Mingyu thought, it should be about her, since her father didn't call her, she didn't follow her.Guessing that it was almost time, he still took Lin Da to Tu Lingguang's small house.

When he arrived at the alleyway of the small house, he could see the lanterns hanging inside from the door. Lin Mingyu was overjoyed, knowing that Tu Lingguang must have arrived.After entering the courtyard and passing through the hallway through the long bluestone corridor, Lin Mingyu saw that under the eaves of the main hall, he was wearing a fur cloak and standing straight with his hands behind his back.

The lantern hanging under the corridor cast a long silhouette of his figure on the ground, and the halo covered his face, only a pair of dark eyes were seen, full of energy.

"Here we come." He came out from the shadow of the lamp, and Lin Mingyu saw the gentle smile on his handsome face.

For no reason, Lin Mingyu's heart felt hot, and he took two quick steps, walked to his side, and followed his posture just now, looking forward.Through the walls of the mansion, one can see the overlapping lights in the distance.

Lin Mingyu seemed to understand his mood, she put her hand into his warm palm and held it.

"Are you thinking about the prince?"

Tu Lingguang nodded, "My father is in the outskirts, but it's very cold. But he's used to it. Since I was 12 years old, my father seldom stayed in the capital. Later, my eldest brother followed me to the northwest, and only Yun and I were left in the mansion." Hua. Now Yunhua is old enough to get married. Brother... I want to come back and have a look."

"Can't the son return to Beijing?" Lin Mingyu was surprised.

Tu Lingguang shook his head and smiled wryly: "Back then, my elder brother left Beijing because his father insisted on taking him away because of the residual poison after being poisoned. Your Majesty, he didn't want to. Now, I don't even want to see my elder brother. Let's not talk about that , tell me about you, didn’t you ask Ah Da to send me a message?”

Tu Lingguang led him into the room, and the servant in costume brought the simmered tea and put it on the table, and retreated under Tu Lingguang's signal.

"Well, I want to tell you one thing. I'm going to the southwest. I'm going to follow Prince Le Fu, and Su Buzhan may be there."
