After coming out of Jinxiangyuan, Ning Heng, Feng Ziying and Xue Pan felt that they had not had enough fun today, so they went to Linyuan to drink.

Jia Lian was worried that something might happen to him at home, so he broke up with a few people and went back to the mansion directly.

…

When I returned to my room, I happened to see Wang Xifeng having a meal with the maid serving him.

He walked forward and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. I just came back and happened to be in time for dinner."

Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "Didn't the second master go to celebrate Brother Lin? Why did he come back without a banquet?"

Jia Lian first asked Xiaohong to serve him wine, then sat down at the dining table, smiled bitterly at Wang Xifeng and said, "I was really frightened by Brother Yun today."

"Oh, what happened?"

Jia Lian told Wang Xifeng what happened in Jinxiangyuan, and then said with emotion: "Brother Yun is such a gentle man, but he didn't expect to beat someone so viciously."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "If he doesn't have this ability, how can the emperor let him serve as a general?"

At this time, Xiao Hong brought the wine pot and wine glass and filled a glass of wine for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said: "It really scared me before. I felt like Brother Yun was a different person when he beat someone."

Wang Xifeng: "Don't forget, he is a general now. If he doesn't be more ruthless, how can he control those killers?"

"This is true."

Jia Lian picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of food, put it into his mouth, and said while eating: "I can't figure out why Brother Yun can play with Xue Pan, but ignores Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng, who was eating, was stunned when she heard this. She put down her bowls and chopsticks and said to Jia Lian: "I think Brother Yun is also very polite to Baoyu now. They can't get along. The main reason is that Baoyu doesn't like his way of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official.

.”

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "I think the main reason is that Brother Yun doesn't want to be close to Baoyu. Have you noticed? In fact, there are many similarities between Brother Yun and Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "That's right, they all like beautiful girls."

Jia Lian frowned when he heard this and said, "I'm talking seriously to you."

Wang Xifeng: "Besides this, what other similarities are there between them?"

Just as Jia Lian was about to explain, he saw a little maid shouting outside the door: "Second Master, Second Grandma," Sister Hubo is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Hue walked in from outside the door, smiled at the two of them and said, "Second Master, Second Grandma, are you having a meal?"

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng hurriedly stood up to greet each other. Wang Xifeng smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

Amber: "The old lady asked the slave to come over and ask the second master to reply."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked: "Sister Hubo, do you know what my ancestor wants from me?"

Amber: "It should be related to the young nephew. I don't know the specific details."

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "Second Master, since our ancestors are fighting against each other, you should go over quickly."

"All right."

…

Jia Lian followed Hu Bo to Jia Mu's side, and saw the old lady eating under Yuanyang's service.

Seeing Jia Lian follow Hu Bo in, Jia Mu waved her hand to Yuanyang and said, "I've finished using them, please withdraw them all."

"Yes, old lady."

Yuanyang waved to the side, and immediately two little maids came over and removed the tableware in front of Jia Mu.

…

After the maid went out, Jia Mu asked Jia Lian, "Is Brother Yun sure?"

"It has been confirmed. Brother Yun has received an official document from the Ministry of War and has been awarded the rank of fourth-grade general. He will report to the Beijing camp in two days."

After a pause, Jia Lian continued: "Ancestor, Brother Yun asked me to ask you, is there anyone on our side who can help with his appointment as a general?"

Jia Mu shook her head and said: "Your father and Brother Zhen are responsible for everything outside. It's good if they don't interfere with it. How can you think of helping him?"

Jia Lian added: "Brother Yun also asked one thing, can Niu Jizong be trusted?"

Jia Mu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Tell Brother Yun that the four princes and eight princes seem to be in the same boat, but in fact they have been separated for a long time. Tell him not to trust anyone."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "My grandson understands."

Jia Mu asked again: "Brother Yun, did you talk about your eldest sister?"

"As he said, he asked the ancestors to try to remind the eldest sister that Xia Shouzhong is the queen's confidant, so be extra careful with this person."

Jia Mu was surprised when she heard this: "How did he know about such confidential matters?"

Jia Lian lowered his voice and said, "It was the old cabinet minister who told Brother Yun that it was Eunuch Xia who revealed the gift to him from King Wu to the Emperor."

"I see."

Jia Mu thought for a while and then said: "Go back and tell Brother Yun that he must pay more attention to your eldest sister's affairs."

"My grandson understands."

Jia Mu wanted to give some more instructions when she heard Baoyu's voice coming in, "Sister Yuanyang, I heard that Brother Lian has come to see our ancestors?"

Yuanyang: "Second Master Lian and the old lady are discussing things inside. Please wait a moment."

Jia Mu shouted towards the door: "Yuanyang, please let Baoyu in."

"Yes, old lady."

Jia Lian was about to say goodbye when he saw Baoyu running in, calling him and saying, "Brother Lian, I have something to ask you."

"Brother Bao, what do you want to ask?"

"I heard that Sister Yun is living in Linyuan recently. Did you go over there today and see her?"

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Yes, sister Xiangyun and sister Lin live together as companions."

Baoyu said to Jia's mother again: "Ancestor, I heard that Brother Lin is going to Beijing to take office. Then Sister Lin and Sister Yun have no one to accompany them. Why don't we take them over and live in our house."

Jia Lian frowned when he heard this and said: "Brother Bao, Sister Lin has Sister Xiangyun as her companion and sister-in-law of the Qin family to take care of her. It is much more comfortable than living in our house. Why do you bother to do so? Besides, Brother Yun will not agree to it either."

.”

Baoyu said anxiously: "My uncle and aunt are not here, so my ancestors should take care of Sister Lin."

Jia Mu said: "Baoyu, your aunt told me before leaving that Yu'er will be taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law, so we don't have to worry."

"Well,"

When Baoyu heard this, he was immediately stunned. He thought to himself: "How can my aunt regard Brother Lin as more important than our ancestors? This makes no sense."

Jia Lian: "Old ancestor, if you have no other instructions, my grandson will leave first."

"Go ahead."

After Jia Lian left, Jia Mu comforted Baoyu again: "When your elder brother Lin Xiu Mu, I will ask him to send your younger sister Lin over to play with you."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

…

After leaving Jia Mu's side, Baoyu returned to Bisha Kitchen, lay down on the bed, and acted foolishly again.

Seeing this, Xiren immediately came over and asked with concern: "It was fine when I went out just now. Why has my kung fu changed now?"

Baoyu suddenly sat up, grabbed Xiren's hand and asked, "Xieren, what do you think is so good about Brother Lin that allows my uncle and aunt to trust Sister Lin to him with confidence?"

Xiren thought for a while and said, "It should be that Uncle Lin and Auntie feel that the young nephew is responsible."

"Responsible?"

"Yes, I heard that the young nephew took a bullet for Miss Lin, which shows that he is a person who can be trusted."

Baoyu hurriedly said: "I can do it too. I will do anything for Sister Lin."

Xiren was speechless for a while. She couldn't say anything that Baoyu didn't want to hear, so she could only say in a roundabout way: "Second Master is still young, how can I trust Miss Lin to you?"

Baoyu said tangledly: "But why didn't my aunt entrust Sister Lin to our ancestors?"

"Well,"

Xiren had nothing to say now. Logically speaking, her aunt should entrust Miss Lin to her grandmother, but in her heart, she felt that the young nephew was more suitable to take care of Miss Lin than the old lady.

Of course, as smart as she is, she will never tell Baoyu this idea.

…

Baoyu couldn't find the answer from Xiren, so he came to Tanchun sadly.

When I walked in, I saw Tanchun sitting at the desk writing.

He walked over and asked: "Third sister, what post are you writing?"

Tanchun turned around and said with a smile: "It's the makeup poem written by Brother Lin on the wedding day."

Baoyu became even more depressed after hearing this. He sat on a chair and asked Tanchun: "Third sister, do you think I am much worse than Brother Lin?"

Tan Chun said in surprise: "Second brother, why do you think so?"
