The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Chapter 107

Lin Mingyu opened the name card, and it was indeed sent by Tu Lingguang.A surge of joy suddenly surged in his heart, and Lin Mingyu asked as he walked, "Has Dad returned home? Has Brother Nine returned?"

Lin Bodao: "Master was invited by Mr. Jingzhao Yinwen to discuss matters. He has already sent someone to say that he will not come back for dinner, and asked Uncle and Master Jiu to eat well. Coincidentally, Master Jiu also asked people to talk back, saying that he drank wine today and accompanied him. Let the guests stay at Dongshan Villa, greet the master, and tell the master to rest earlier."

Lin Mingyu stopped, instead of going to the study, instead walked to her courtyard.

"Okay then, I'll go see Mr. Tu and tell the kitchen not to prepare my meals." Back in the yard, he changed into a set of clothes and packed them up. Lin Mingyu led Lin Da, each riding a horse to Changping Prince's Mansion.

In front of the palace gate, although the gate is closed, the guards guarding the gate are more energetic than usual, maybe it is the return of the master to cheer people up.Lin Mingyu smiled, turned to the west corner gate and dismounted familiarly.The guard came over, took the reins, and smiled: "Young master Lin is here, our young master left a message first, please come in immediately when you see you coming. Please come in from your side."

Lin Mingyu was not polite, handed him the reins, and led Lin Dazhi to the flower hall.

The steward of the mansion came out to greet you, and after paying his respects, he said, "Second Young Master is waiting for you in the flower hall." Then he gave way to Lin Da with a smile: "It's been a long time since I had tea with Brother Ah Da, and the new Dahongpao I got here is just right for you to help." I taste how it tastes."

Lin Mingyu nodded to Lin Da, Lin laughed loudly and echoed a few words, but was taken away by the steward without mentioning it.

There is a long table in the flower hall, on which there is a Western clock, a celadon flower pot, and a small bronze tripod.There is a square table in front of the long case, and a grand master's chair on each side.Behind the case is a mica stone screen that almost connects the beams and the floor, which looks very gorgeous and magnificent.

At this moment, there was no one in the hall, Lin Mingyu stood on the west pane and looked out, once here, Fangfo consciously calmed down, and became calm.He missed Tu Lingguang very much in his heart, but his emotions seemed to be calm.

Lin Mingyu was thinking about his own wonderful thoughts, and the sudden sound of footsteps behind him brought him back to his senses.

Lin Mingyu turned her head slowly, and saw Tu Lingguang walking calmly from behind the screen.He was wearing a lake blue Taoist robe, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, his eyebrows were handsome, and there was a smile on his lips. He was not like the Fujian general who commanded tens of thousands of troops in Fujian, but like a Confucian, gentle, calm, elegant, wise.

Lin Mingyu turned around at once, took two steps in his direction, stood still, raised her head and looked up at him - even though he had grown a lot this year, he was still not as slender as his stature.

Tu Lingguang smiled with a "poof", his slightly condensed temperament instantly shattered, his person came alive, and he joked as he did when he saw him in the past: "Does this mean you don't recognize me? Or, brother, I have a long hair on my head?" Flowers?"

He opened his arms, and Lin Mingyu rushed forward without hesitation and embraced him.

"Brother Tu, why don't you remind me when you come back, so that I can clean up the dust for you."

Tu Lingguang held him in his arms and weighed him, a little dissatisfied: "After more than half a year, why is my body still so thin and weak, as if I would run away when the wind blows." Seeing that Lin Mingyu didn't care, he smiled and stroked his hair: "He's tall. It has grown taller, the one that used to be in front of my chest is now only one punch shorter than me."

Lin Mingyu just looked at him and smiled.

Tu Lingguang led him to sit, and the servant girl brought him tea.

"I didn't expect to be able to come back. When I received your letter, the news in the palace was still unclear. Later, the imperial decree came down, and time was tight. I will come back soon, and it makes no difference whether I reply or not."

Lin Mingyu understood, and became worried, and said with concern: "Brother, can you go to the palace first? If you come back first, no one else will know about it. I am afraid that I will cause trouble for you if I come to the door so carelessly. "

Tu Lingguang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will go to the palace first when I come back, and I handed over the booklet to ask for a face saint. The palace replied that it is late today, and the Lord Long Live is tired, and I will be announced to the palace tomorrow to speak. As for the others, If you are interested, if you don’t come, I’m afraid the whole city will know about me as soon as I enter the city gate.”

Lin Mingyu thought about it, with Tu Lingguang's current status and the Changping Palace that he represented, if there was any disturbance at all, it might trigger some people's sensitive nerves.

After talking about the situation for a while, Tu Lingguang said: "Drink this tea. I brought it back from Fujian. This year's tribute is nothing more than that. If you like it, pack a few catties back."

Lin Mingyu took two sips and didn't feel much: "You know, when I drink tea, I put it on display, but I don't know how to taste it. I wasted such good tea."

Tu Lingguang looked at him with a smile, and there was a certain meaning in his eyes that made Lin Mingyu's heart skip a beat.I just heard him say: "Didn't you say that you are close to Su Buzhan, the son of Su Xueshi's family? The Su family loves to drink tea, and Su Yi is famous in Kyoto for his love of tea. If you don't like it yourself, give it to someone else." It's also good. Usually very clever, why is it so straightforward today."

Lin Mingyu patted his head, in front of Tu Lingguang, sometimes he couldn't help showing a bit of stupidity.

"Tomorrow, I have to go to court, and then I will wait for the emperor to summon me. Yunhua will go to greet the queen mother." Tu Lingguang looked at Lin Mingyu as he spoke, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Mingyu smiled: "I originally wanted to see my sister. I asked someone to bring a message to my sister earlier. Princess Ming'er should announce me into the palace."

"That's how it is. After I face the saint, I should also go to kowtow in front of the Empress Dowager. You wait for me with Concubine Rong, and we will leave the palace together."

This is the best way, Lin Mingyu hastily agreed.Tu Lingguang talked about Yunhua's marriage again: "I've only met that Hu Hua a few times, and I can't say anything when I know what my father has decided. You've been in the capital for a long time, what do you think of this person? "

It seems that in the subconscious of every elder brother there is always a preconceived idea that a brother-in-law is not a good thing. Tu Lingguang didn't necessarily love his younger sister in the past, and it was related to Princess Yunhua's life, and finally revealed his sister-controlling nature.

Lin Mingyu said: "Brother Hu and Brother Ninth are good friends. We have played together a few times. He is lively and enthusiastic, very straightforward, and a very easy-going person."

"Come with me to see him tomorrow." Tu Lingguang smiled and decided.

On the second day, when Tu Lingguang was wearing court clothes and standing in the morning court, he could vaguely hear whispering voices from everywhere.He looked as usual, and greeted the princes, grandchildren, and palace ministers with smiles all over his eyes.When Lin Ruhai walked in, Tu Lingguang had just finished dealing with a minister's flattering words, turned around and turned slightly to Lin Ruhai, and said, "Lord Lin."

Lin Ruhai stood still, and greeted in return: "General Tu is well."

"Thank you for your auspicious words. My royal father will probably return to Beijing this time, and then I will visit Master Lin at his residence." Tu Lingguang said tentatively, observing Lin Ruhai's expression.

Lin Ruhai's face was calm, showing a just right alienated smile: "Then I will congratulate Mr. Tu first, and please send my greetings to the prince on behalf of the old man."

He was not very enthusiastic, and he didn't seem to care about the close relationship between himself and Lin Mingyu.Lin Hai had already returned to his shift, and Tu Lingguang looked at the figure in front of him with deep thought in his eyes.Why did he always feel that there was some secret between Lin Hai and his father.

After the imperial eunuch, Chang Fu, the great eunuch next to the emperor, came to summon him.King Zhongshun stopped walking outside, and smiled at Tu Lingguang: "Nephew, it's only the first day after you come back, and you can't wait to face the saint, how filial you are! Let all the courtiers look at it, Your Majesty treats you But it's very different."

Tu Lingguang replied respectfully: "The emperor's uncle thinks so wrong. The emperor's grandfather is not only the grandfather of the nephew, but also the monarch of the nephew. It is only natural for the nephew to uphold filial piety. Besides, the nephew is far away on the border. Not only the nephew I miss the emperor, but I can't live up to the trust entrusted to me by the emperor. It's all about reason and reason, and it's all thanks to the emperor's wisdom that my nephew can face the saint so quickly!"

King Zhongshun laughed for a while: "After all, I have experienced it, my brother should be relieved."

The great eunuch Chang Fu was waiting by the side, and at this moment he said: "Long Live Lord is still waiting, Young Master Tu, please go with me first."

King Zhongshun waved his hands, looking very happy, and said: "Go quickly. Your father is not in the capital. I will invite you to drink later, and I will welcome you."

Tu Lingguang saluted and followed Chang Fu out. King Zhongshun rubbed his chin to reflect on what he said just now, and clicked his tongue softly at the empty hall for a while.

I thought he was an honest person, and he was cunning in his words, a smart person, nothing to be afraid of!

When Tu Lingguang was meeting the emperor in the Hall of Appreciation, Lin Mingyu had just come to Concubine Rong's bedroom to greet her.After saying some official words, Lin Mingyu presented a sandalwood box, and the aunt next to Concubine Rong took it and presented it to Concubine Rong.

"It's from this season, Madam, please have a look. Another copy has been sent to the palace over there by the princess."

Concubine Rong nodded to her aunt, but without opening it, the aunt took the box in and put it away.

"The Fifth Princess has something to say to you, you can go. If you want to wait for Yunhua to leave the palace, you can wait with Ling'er. I'm tired, so don't come to my place to say hello later." Concubine Rong supported her aunt hand, stood up and turned into the cella.

Lin Mingyu resigned according to the etiquette.

The aunt helped Concubine Rong take off the hairpin and lay down on the kang, Concubine Rong said: "Bring the box here."

The aunt took out the box as she said, opened it and placed it in front of Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong casually fiddled with the thickness of the bank note with her fingers, her fingertips froze, she supported her body slightly, and counted again carefully.

After a long time, Concubine Rong let out a breath and told her aunt to put the box away. "This Lin Mingyu, at such a young age, has a great ability to make money and a great bearing." Thinking about the share in the Empress Dowager's Palace, since Lin Mingyu dared to say it, she must be a bowl of water, and she would behave like this. What about Ling'er? ...Don't worry, let's take another look.

Concubine Rong was thinking about her own thoughts, but Lin Mingyu didn't know anything about it.Seeing her elder sister Daiyu, the siblings were talking homely, Tu Linger didn't evade, she waved away the serving maids, and listened intently, interjecting a few words from time to time, the atmosphere was harmonious.
