Heir of the Red Chamber

Chapter 25

Although most of the world only regards men as the only support of the family, in Lin Ya's heart, Xue Baochai is more worrying about the two brothers and sisters of the Xue family, but he has always been sure that Xue Baochai will match up with Jia Baoyu, a rich and rich dude. What a big storm, I didn't take it to heart.Now she is very likely to serve in the fourth prince's mansion, but she has to guard against it.

It's just these concerns, but Lin Ya didn't need to show them in front of Chu Ronghua. He just drew a line with the Xue family again with a sincere attitude, thanked him secretly, and said goodbye to Chu Ronghua with peer etiquette, and turned around. Leaving in style.

However, Chu Ronghua did not turn around as Lin Ya expected, but stood quietly at the Yimen for a long time before entering a corner pavilion with a low curtain beside the corner pavilion where he and Lin Ya were cooking tea and competing with each other expressionlessly. Hanging Pavilion.

"It's just a kid, why did Rong Hua lose his ground and lose his demeanor?"

Chu Ronghua was about to sit down, and in the pavilion, a man in scarlet clothes stood up and poured tea for him, while shaking his head and sighing.

This person is Zeng Xilang's youngest son, Zeng Xi who has not been an official for many years.In recent years, Zeng Xi has been teaching by Chu Ronghua's side. He is also a teacher and a father. He can be called Chu Ronghua's number one confidant.This time when Chu Ronghua met Lin Ya in person, Zeng Xi didn't quite agree with it from the beginning.

It is true that Lin Ya is the eldest son of Lin Ruhai, but this son is just a yamen who relies on his father's generation, not to mention that he has not been promoted in the imperial examination, and he has a bad reputation, how can he be worthy of being a prince?Sending a subordinate to meet him would be considered a courtesy, which is a hundred times more appropriate than it is now.In fact, in the entire Gusu Lin family, only Lin Ruhai himself was worthy to sit and talk with the prince.

It's just that Chu Ronghua, who has always been good at accepting advice, is determined to do this kind of thing. If he insists on himself, Zeng Xi will let him go. After all, it's not a big deal. At most, it will make the Lin family think too highly of themselves. .

And Zeng Xi himself has some thoughts that are difficult to express.With Chu Ronghua's insistence, he only thought that His Highness who had been supported by the Zeng family was afraid of them and was eager to win over the Lin family to fight with them.

This is also one of the emperor's mind tricks, if played well, it will prevent the Zeng family's great achievements in the future from ending well.

But who would have thought that Chu Ronghua, who has always been graceful and graceful, would speak inappropriately in front of Yi Zhuzi, without any sense of authority?

Zeng Xi was listening and almost walked away.

"Although I am not talented, I have been a vegetarian for many years, but I don't know when my Zeng family became a carrot and cabbage on the roadside, and my grandchildren can be picked by others?"

Seeing clearly the indifference in Chu Ronghua's closed eyes, Zeng Xi's resentment grew heavier: "Shangzhu, Nafei, and Xu Yizeng's direct descendants, which one is not the one from other people's family who are happily begging for it? You are good, Buying and selling by force is common, isn’t it what the folks often say that hard work is thankless? You are so aggressive, does the Lin family know how much effort you have to put in?”

Of course, Chu Ronghua knew the Zeng family's kindness to Chu Ronghua.Zeng Xi mentioned the Zeng family, and there were some waves on his calm face, and his attitude was quite sincere: "I am impatient, and my words are meaningless. Teacher, don't blame me."

Zeng Xi is quite a celebrity in the past, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to complicated etiquette. The reason why he valued Chu Ronghua among the princes back then was because Chu Ronghua was "the only one among their brothers who could listen well." Talking", and "doesn't treat ministers as slaves".

If it was normal, Zeng Xi would have flicked his sleeves long ago, telling Chu Ronghua not to hurt him with such words.

But today, Zeng Xi sighed again.

"Rong Hua, in your eyes, the Lin family is probably still a little beggar in the old frontier city who needed your protection to survive? Although you have the intention of protecting, but your attitude is high, it is obviously a [-]% good thing in your mouth Speaking out has become a threat, so how can you win people's hearts?"

Speaking of this, Zeng Xi simply didn't know what to say about Chu Ronghua.

Between the aristocratic family and the emperor's heir, even the prince's mother-in-law's family is not exempt. Which family has uncovered the layer of skin that is not only a naked/naked/naked interest relationship?It's just a deal.All prosperity and all losses, to put it bluntly, isn't it all because everyone is on a thief ship and can't survive alone?It's just that they are born in aristocratic families and naturally love to act, so most of them are used to speaking nicely.Everyone is used to being grandiose, who would really want to tear off that layer of glamor and ask people for their sincerity?Just be clear in your heart.

What's more, a boy from the Lin family who made his fortune halfway, cares more about status than ordinary people, but he never thought of this, how can Lin Ruhai not teach him carefully?It's counterproductive, could it be that this usually intelligent highness doesn't understand?To say that he is loyal to others with a red mouth and white teeth?

Chu Ronghua repeatedly questioned and persevered, what answer did he want to get from Lin Ya?Lin Ya voted for him on behalf of the Lin family, not for the sake of wealth and beauty, what else could it be?

If Zeng Xi was from the Lin family, then Chu Ronghua would be underestimated!

What Zeng Xi said was heartbreaking, and Chu Ronghua's heart was also touched a lot. After a while, Fang said in a deep voice: "It's my fault. I just thought that he was too low-born, and he didn't have that ability. I'm afraid he won't be able to support the Lin family in the future." As a family, it is good to be able to maintain wealth and honor for a lifetime, after all, we have shared adversity, how can we be different from riches and honors? But I forgot that he has great ambitions."

Chu Ronghua and the Lin family boy were old acquaintances, and Zeng Xi also knew a thing or two, but he didn't expect this old acquaintance to hold such a heavy weight in Chu Ronghua's heart.

After a moment of silence, Zeng Xi thought about it again and said, "Even if you are in a hurry to win over the Lin family, you should also mention that you helped clean up the Lin family boy's biological father and stepmother who was taken over by the Wang family. After all, today is not what it used to be. I didn’t see that you took the initiative to mention the Xue family’s news at the end, so the Lin family boy refused to say a word to you?”

Regarding the matter of Lin Ya's biological father and stepmother, Chu Ronghua kept things secret, and I don't know if the Lin family has received any rumors, and there is also the matter of the Xue family, which obviously betrayed a great favor of the Lin family, but...

With a good hand of cards, but unable to hold back, Zeng Xi almost thought that all his years of teaching had been wasted.

It's just that Zeng Xi didn't have the opportunity to discuss the matter with Chu Ronghua in detail today, and his words were about to fall when Chu Ronghua's confidant servant confessed his crime outside the door and rushed in.

"Report to the third son, Shun'er, An'er, they rescued the servants of Mr. Lin's family who delivered the letter outside the city. It is said that Mr. Lin was seriously ill, and they were urgently looking for Mr. Lin to return to the mansion, but they were obstructed by others, and they just entered with our people. city."

The servant lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, explaining the whole story clearly in one sentence.

A few days ago, Lin Ruhai turned the members of Zhen's family on their backs, and now they are suddenly seriously ill?

Before he had time to think about how many people were involved, Chu Ronghua was so shocked that he didn't look at Zeng Xi's thoughtful expression. He stood up abruptly and sat back down. He said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, you Find the right person to send the servants of the Lin family to Uncle Lin immediately, and then pass on my words, if there is any emergency, what I said will count."?
