The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Chapter 121

Baiyun Mountain is in the west of the city. It takes about an hour to go out of the city by taking the official road. If you are on a fast horse, you can get there in half an hour.The few people had nothing to do, and the weather was cold, so the coachman drove the carriage steadily.

Although it was cold, there were still many people walking on both sides of the official road, some carrying burdens towards the city gate, and some driving trucks out of the capital.

The carriage wobbled and was not suitable for reading.Tu Lingguang took the checkers and came out to relieve Lin Mingyu's boredom.The two didn't play chess very seriously, and communicated casually.

As we talked, we talked about getting married.Lin Mingyu recalled that these days when he came to Changping Palace, he seldom saw Princess Yunhua.Her marriage to Hu Hua has already been decided, and the wedding date will be in the spring of next year.Lin Mingyu wanted to sell his mushroom business.Princess Yunhua has a share in this business, because I mentioned it to her euphemistically before, if Yunhua is willing, he will follow her closely, if she is not willing to take over, then he can just let Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother directly.

Princess Yunhua is a transparent person, so she didn't care about this little money, she just thought it was for his brother's face and supported him.Later, when the business grew and the money she earned was so enviable, she was only surprised for a while. After all, the Changping Prince's Mansion was not just any master's mansion.

Yunhua understood what he meant, and immediately said that she would also give up the elements in her hands.Let her handle this matter, so as not to arouse the vigilance of others.Lin Mingyu was overjoyed at this point, and specially sent her a gift to thank her.

"Zihua has been in the Ministry of Officials for so many years, will he be promoted next year?" Lin Hai is now the first senior official in the Ministry of Officials, and he is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials. He doesn't shy away from his son, on the contrary, he often uses this matter to judge him, explaining the way to him.If Lin Mingyu knew the news, then the news was almost certain.

Tu Lingguang smiled and said, "Xu Shilang is getting old and ready to retire."

In his early twenties, he became a servant. If he didn't have such a background, he might still be squeezed into the gate of the scientific examination with tens of thousands of students.

While speaking, he had already arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.They got out of the carriage, and were served by servants, put on fur cloaks, and began to climb the mountain in wooden clogs.

Du Shuhui was still in the carriage, and after they left first, she called a sedan chair to carry her up the mountain.

Su Buzhan made excuses to walk last, and he was relieved when he saw that she had climbed the mountain safely. He walked for a quarter of an hour and caught up with the team in front.

Lin Mingyu and the others climbed the mountain while admiring the snowy scenery.Plum trees are widely planted in and around Baiyun Temple, and when you climb halfway up the mountain, you can faintly smell a faint fragrance.Looking at the top of the mountain, the mountain forest is covered with crystal white snow, and some pale tree trunks are exposed in the white, which makes you feel distant and peaceful.

When they climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone was warm, with thin sweat on their foreheads.There is a guest room specially reserved for guests in the temple, and someone has come up to take care of it a long time ago. Everyone went back to the room and changed their clothes to avoid catching cold.

There are many white plums in the temple, but there are red plums outside the temple. At this time, the plum blossoms are half in bloom, and the branches are covered with flower bones. People are intoxicated.

Everyone walked casually, Tu Yan became very popular with poetry, and even recited a poem in public, which won applause from everyone.

Lin Mingyu listened to their excitement with a smile, and gradually everyone dispersed in twos and threes.As he walked, Tu Lingguang was dragged by Tu Yan to speak, and his steps slowed down.

Lin Mingyu turned around a fence, and saw a plum blossom tree in front of her that was growing extraordinarily thick, with twisted and twisted branches, and even the flowers bloomed more than other places, and it was more beautiful than other places.He walked under the plum tree, and was about to break off a few branches to take back, when he saw a graceful figure turning from behind the tree.

Du Shuhui was standing under the tree wearing a white fox fur cloak, looking over quietly with her autumn water eyes.

Lin Mingyu instinctively wanted to avoid it, but before he could move, she had already taken a step forward.

"Young Master Lin."

It was rare for Du Shuhui to call him so politely, her voice was gentle, as if a lot of words were contained in it.Lin Mingyu secretly sighed.

When a woman pulls you to talk, and you don't want to have any misunderstandings with her, the best way is not to ask her what you are doing, which may embarrass yourself.

Lin Mingyu said quickly: "Miss Du, Qi'an and the others are behind, you wait here for a while, I'll call him over." He was about to turn around as he spoke.

Du Shuhui's voice tightened: "Lin Mingyu, don't you even want to hear me say a word?"

Lin Mingyu hesitated for a moment.

He turned around and looked straight into her eyes: "Miss Du, what do you want to say? I am different from you and I should not talk in private according to etiquette. Your uncle is also a friend, and because of this, when I see a friend's relatives, I should also avoid them."

"You, you don't understand what I mean?" Du Shuhui's face turned pale, and she couldn't help asking what was in her heart. As soon as the words came out, her face burned red again. "

"I don't need to understand what you mean. My words are also very clear. This is a temple. There are many people who appreciate plum blossoms. It is inevitable that you will meet some people. You should go back to the temple quickly. I will go to Qi'an, I think If he can't find it, he should be in a hurry."

Du Shuhui bit her lip and asked unwillingly, "Do you have someone you like?"

Lin Mingyu turned around, thought for a while, nodded slightly, and left.Behind Du Shuhui finally couldn't help covering her mouth, sobbing silently.

Walking out of the forest, Lin Mingyu first pulled Du Qi'an aside who was playing with Su Buzhan, and said a few words. Du Qi'an's face changed, and he gave him a complicated look. After thanking him, he walked towards the plum tree. .Su Buzhan felt that their expressions were wrong, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Lin Mingyu smiled and said: "It's okay, there is someone looking for it from Qi'an, he just went to see it."

Su Buzhan glanced at him suspiciously, then looked in the direction Du Qi'an was walking, showing a thoughtful expression.But after a while, he found an excuse and slipped away.

Lin Mingyu didn't bother to care about what he was going to do. He just made a girl sad, and he didn't feel very happy.Although he has no affection for Du Shuhui, he also regarded her as a friend before.Maybe it was because my attitude towards her was too natural, which gave people a misunderstanding.He secretly warned himself that he must stay away from girls in the future.

After Du Qi'an left for a quarter of an hour, he came back and said that he had something to do at home and had to go back first.Su Buzhan hurriedly stood up and said that he remembered something and happened to be going down the mountain.The two left first.The rest of the people ate a vegetarian meal in the temple and began to prepare to return.

On the way down the mountain, I met a group of people turning from another mountain road, and they happened to face each other.

Lin Mingyu felt a little familiar, so he glanced sideways, and the young man opposite him also turned his head, with a slight smile in his eyes: "Hey, it's you. You are Mr. Lin!"

Lin Mingyu stopped and looked at the speaker carefully. Seeing that he was tall and tall, with a round face, dark face, and a smile in his eyes, he suddenly remembered that this was the few people he saw in Liulifang that day. One of the scholars, his name is... "Brother Xu?"

"Exactly, this is brother Zhao and brother Sun." The other two young people who were with him also came over and bowed their hands.Lin Mingyu recognized that this was also the young people who were with him at that time, Zhao Geng and Sun Ze.

"I didn't expect to meet here. It's fate." Zhao Geng smiled with a square face.

Lin Mingyu returned the salutes one by one, and chatted with them a few words.They also came to admire the plum blossoms, and they were about to go down the mountain.

Tu Lingguang had already noticed the commotion on Lin Mingyu's side, and stood for a while, seeing that he was still talking, he came over and said, "Mingyu, who are these?"

Lin Mingyu hurriedly introduced to both parties.No details were given on Tu Lingguang's identity.Xu Chongqing and the others saw that he was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing, so they guessed that he was probably the young master of a wealthy family in the capital, and they didn't care too much.

They are all going down the mountain, and they are people they know, so they go down the mountain together in groups.

Seeing Tu Yan, Wen Qin and others, it was inevitable to introduce them again.Xu Chongqing is more serious, besides talking to Lin Mingyu, he basically maintains a polite and polite attitude with others.Zhao Geng echoed from the side, only Sun Ze had a smooth personality, and he could find a topic for everyone to chat with from time to time along the way.

They came to the capital to prepare for the exam, and now they are renting a house. There used to be four of them together, and one of them went to seek an official from another place. Now there are only three of them living there, and they will wait until next year's spring.

After entering the city, Xu Chongqing left his address and said that he would invite Lin Mingyu to drink tea another day.Lin Mingyu agreed, and also left a note of her own name.

Tu Lingguang still sent him to Lin's residence. On the way, Lin Mingyu told him about meeting Xu Chongqing and others, mentioned Tu Shuo, and the two talked about Fujian Haimeng.Lin Mingyu took the opportunity to remind Tu Lingguang of the east direction of the Zhongshun Palace in Fujian.

Back at the mansion, Lin Hai wasn't there, so Lin Mingyu turned a corner at the gate of her courtyard and walked to Lin Rui's room.

Lin Rui was writing, when he saw Lin Mingyu coming, he pointed to a chair beside him for him to sit on.He stood up and finished writing the words in his hand.Lin Mingyu saw that fresh snacks and oranges were placed on the table.He took one in his hand, put it under his nose and took a sniff.The unique fragrance of oranges is inhaled into the abdomen, and the whole person is refreshed.

He didn't know it at all, so he took it in his hand and played with it.

When Tu Lingguang finished writing and came over, he saw that he was still tossing the tangerine up and down for fun, raised his hand to catch the tangerine in the air, sniffed it like him just now, and then returned it to his hand, saying with a smile: "Why do you still like to play so much? This was sent here at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. There are two baskets. Uncle sent one basket, and the other half basket is in your yard. Why, didn't you go back?"

Lin Mingyu said: "I'll come to you as soon as I get back. Ninth Brother, do you have anything to tell me? For example, will I have a Ninth Sister-in-law soon?"
