The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"Come on, I'll lead you there."

Chapter 237: Disaster for the Pond Fish

At the beginning of December, the court's punishment of Lin Ruhai finally came to fruition, and he was dismissed and returned to Beijing pending further investigation.

Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, replaced Lin Ruhai as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Mei Ruoao, the right concubine of the Imperial Academy, was released as the prefect of Jinling.

This result was within Lin Yun's expectations. Returning to Beijing to wait for investigation is actually idle. Before the Northwest War has no results, Lin Ruhai will definitely be on the bench for a while.

In Lin Yun's mind, it would not be a good thing for Lin Ruhai to return to Beijing to recuperate.After the battle in the Northwest is over, he can find a way to transfer Lin Ruhai to serve in Guangdong, so that his plan to make money can be realized.

After making up his mind, Lin Yun settled down to train the soldiers.

With sufficient logistical support, Lin Yun also carried out intensive training for the remaining [-] soldiers, but the requirements were not as strict as those for the first [-] soldiers.

First of all, the weather has turned cold, which is not suitable for special training in lurking, assassination, arrest and other projects in the wild.

Then there is Prince Xuan's interest in this death squad under his command. He feels that after the training of this trilogy, it may not be able to be handed over to him to command.That being the case, why did he bother to make wedding dresses for others.

...

Ding Yuannan was very interested in the special training method formulated by Lin Yun, and devoted himself to the training, and soon won the trust of the soldiers.

After repeated consideration, Lin Yun chose Ding Yuannan as his deputy. In case he was transferred from this army by the emperor in the future, he would have someone trustworthy to replace him and take charge of this special force that cost him a lot of effort.

As for Ning Heng, this kid is very tired of the boring intensive training, but he is very interested in the flintlock.

Lin Yun asked him to command [-] teams equipped with flintlock guns after his basic training items were up to standard.Only if this thing is in the hands of Ning Heng, the old prince must be able to rest assured.

...

After the three-month training period was over, Qin Rong ordered a big competition to be held at the Wuwei camp, which was equivalent to an exercise for later generations.

This big competition is mainly based on individual skills, there is no such thing as team attack and defense, and no one mentions the city and land.

After Lin Yun watched the rehearsal, he was immediately disappointed.He simply handed over the trilogy to Ding Yuannan to direct, and asked for leave to go back to the city to rest.

Qin Rong was very dissatisfied with Lin Yun asking for leave to take a rest at this time, but he also knew that the competition arranged by Zuo Wuwei was very unfair to Lin Yun's series.But he has no choice. If he arranges the battalions to have a team competition, I am afraid that the honor will be taken by Lin Yun's trilogy, so how can he lead the troops in the future.

...

After returning to the mansion this time, Lin Yun felt that the house was much deserted, and even the servant who guarded the door shouted that the third master had returned to the mansion, but he was weak.

He asked people to call Qian Cong and Zhong Yi over, and asked if there was anything wrong in the mansion?

Fortunately, everything is safe, no one dares to come to Lin Yuan to make trouble.

When it came to the original Lin Mansion, someone set fire to it and burned down the thatched shed where the horses were raised.

...

Lin Yun returned to the inner house and saw Qin Keqing leading a group of gorgeous girls out to welcome him. Only then did he feel like going home.

Seeing Lin Yun, Daiyu threw herself into his arms and wept, "Brother, has Father been punished by the court?"

Lin Yun hurriedly comforted: "Don't think about it, if uncle has something to do, I don't have the time to train soldiers in the barracks."

Daiyu: "But I heard that my father was impeached by the courtiers and will be taken back to the capital for trial."

Lin Yun said with a dark face: "Who said this?"

Qin Keqing said hurriedly: "It was spread by a woman in the mansion who was in charge of shopping. Miss Ping'er has already kicked that woman out of the house."

Lin Yun nodded, then smiled at Daiyu and said, "I have already asked the old prince, but my uncle was dismissed by the court and returned to his home to be idle."

"Is father really all right?"

"It will be all right, I assure you."

Daiyu felt much relieved after receiving Lin Yun's assurance.

...

The crowd surrounded Lin Yun and returned to the big living room of the inner house to sit down, chattering and asking him non-stop.

Not long after, Ping'er led Yingge in, and smiled at Lin Yun: "The third master is finally back, there are many things waiting for you to make up your mind."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Is there anything you can't decide?"

Ping'er: "Let grandma talk about it."

Qin Keqing: "It's like this, the end of the year is coming soon, do you still need to prepare for the relatives' annual ceremony in advance?"

Lin Yun thought for a while, and said: "Let's prepare. If someone comes to give a New Year's gift, we will send someone back to give a gift. As for those who did not send it, we don't have to curry favor."

Ping'er: "Your servant will remember."

Qin Keqing: "There is one more thing. Miss Ping'er and I have discussed it and want to give year-end rewards to the servants in the mansion in advance. Does your husband think our idea is feasible?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Sister Ping'er, please let someone know. Those servants who perform well will receive more money each."

Ping'er nodded and said, "Okay. I'll discuss it with grandma later to see how much is appropriate."

Daiyu said hurriedly: "Brother, give more red envelopes to the servants, and give more to us too."

Lin Yun smiled and asked, "My sister is also short of money?"

"I'm not short of money, but it's fairer to treat everyone equally."

"Okay, then let's give out red envelopes together, everyone has a share."

After a pause, Lin Yun said again: "I'll ask someone to make a set of mahjong later and teach you how to play mahjong."

Ping'er: "Third Master, is mahjong a tool for gambling?"

"You can gamble."

Ping'er said urgently: "Then you better stop doing that, once the servants in the mansion get together to gamble, it will be the beginning of disaster."

Lin Yun: "~"

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Miss Ping is right, gambling is really bad."

"Okay, listen to you, I won't do that thing."

Lin Yun suddenly remembered and said, "Where is Zhong'er, why didn't you see him?"

Qin Keqing: "Master He Xiumu has gone home, so I will send someone to send Zhong'er back home to accompany his father. After the new year, I will pick him up to study."

"That's fine. When I have free time at the end of the year, I will accompany you back to visit Mr. Yue Zhang."

Qin Keqing said happily, "Thank you husband."

...

Lin Yun chatted and laughed with everyone for a while, and then was arranged by Qin Keqing to take a bath.

As soon as he walked out of the living room, he saw Daiyu chasing him out of the house, stopping him and saying, "Brother, wait a minute, I have something else to discuss with you."

Lin Yun stopped in his tracks and asked, "What's the matter?"

Daiyu: "It's about Furong. She has an uncle named Wu Gui who works as a cook in the Rongguo Mansion. This time, I got involved and was bullied by the servants in the mansion there. Can you talk to Lian? Second brother, tell me, take care of him more."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Reassure Fu Rong, I will take care of this matter."

"Thank you brother!"

"Why are you being polite to me, go back and rest, and let's have dinner together later."

"Ok."

Chapter 238: Respect

At noon, Jia Lian led his confidant, Xing'er, into Yipinxiang in a hurry. He came here to meet Lin Yun's invitation.

Seeing Jia Lian coming in from the outside, Jia Yun immediately greeted her, "Second Master is here, please come inside, Third Master is waiting for you."

"Ok."

...

In the hut in the backyard, Lin Yun sat alone behind the desk, drinking tea while flipping through the ledger in front of him.

Jia Lian opened the door and walked in, said with a smile, "Brother Yun, seeing your calm appearance makes me feel more at ease."

Lin Yun closed the account book, stood up and said with a smile: "Second Brother Lian is here, please take a seat."

The two of them sat down on the small table, Lin Yun poured tea for Jia Lian, and asked with a smile, "Second Brother Lian, how is it?"

Jia Lian smiled wryly and said, "Uncle and Uncle are bullying each other, we juniors can have a good time, I have been scolded by my father several times."

"What did the old man scold you for?"

"Father wanted me to sell the shares in the perfume shop. I refused, so I was beaten and scolded several times by him. Fortunately, I bought his long-term follower, so I didn't suffer too much."

Lin Yun said jokingly: "Beating is kissing, scolding is love, you should treat it as enjoying father's love."

"If you were in my position, let's see if you would still say that."

"Hehehe~"

Jia Lian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Brother Yun, there is one thing I have never been able to figure out. Why do you think my uncle wrote a secret book to impeach my uncle?"

Lin Yun restrained his smile and said, "Second Brother Lian, you said that the Son of Heaven knows that my uncle and the uncle of the Wang family are both in-laws of the Jia family, so why did he send him to be the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

Jia Lian thought for a while and then said: "Is the emperor worried that sending someone else as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi will hinder the imperial army?"

"You're wrong. According to my guess, the emperor is worried that my uncle and Uncle Wang will collude in secret. This arrangement is just a test to see if they will collude."

Jia Lian took a breath when he heard the words, and then he asked eagerly: "So, uncle deliberately gave the memorial to reassure the emperor?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "My uncle definitely didn't think of this. The memorial he wrote may be true."

"In that case, why didn't the Son of Heaven send someone to investigate, and just dismissed my uncle directly?"

"For the sake of the front-line war, the emperor wants to end the war with the Mongols as soon as possible, and everything else can only stand aside."

Jia Lian drank his tea sullenly, his understanding of tactics was worse than Lin Yun's, and he needed to think more before he could digest these contents.

After a while, he raised his head and asked Lin Yun: "So, when uncle returns to Beijing this time, he will only be dismissed from office and will not be convicted?"
