Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 129 This is a blind date event. Wouldn’t it ruin our marriage if we go?

"There are two more pieces of news, but they are still just hearsay and we can't tell whether they are true or not." Wei Wu frowned. These two pieces of news were quite important and he didn't know whether he should tell them or not.

He looked at the Prince of Nan'an's expression, which was indistinguishable from his joy and anger, and continued,

"There is news coming from the Nan'an Army, saying that the old prince is dead, and there should be some clues."

"The Nan'an Army is looking for evidence."

"It is initially suspected that our own people lied to us about military intelligence, lured the enemy deep into our territory, and we were surrounded."

"Who is that person?" The Prince of Nan'an asked with a gloomy face and fire in his eyes. He kicked up a chair and sat down to listen carefully.

Wei Wu lowered his voice.

"There is no evidence yet. It was said to be the lieutenant general named Sun, but that guy is also dead. He must have been silenced." Wei Wu was afraid that the prince would be impulsive, so he spoke cautiously and always thought twice before speaking.

This is the capital city. Although they have many eyes and ears now, who knows if there are any cold-eyed or cold-hearted people.

Didn’t the old prince get into trouble in his own army?

"Whether there is evidence or not? Not all news has evidence after two years."

"Please sort out all the details of the news. I want to follow up on this message personally." The Prince of Nannan didn't want to worry too much, so he ordered Wei Wu.

Wei Wu pursed his lips tightly, nodded, and continued to report.

"Another piece of news, also speculation, is that His Majesty wants to build Tongtian Temple and needs to build a golden statue."

"There have been rumors about this before, but there has been no progress. But this time, His Majesty may really not be able to tolerate it."

"We need to get money from Jiangnan."

Speaking of this, Wei Wu also felt a little heavy-hearted.

The people are going to suffer again. These people are really greedy.

The Prince of Nan'an looked towards the south, his eyes filled with emotions, like a storm.

Killing meritorious officials, coveting the people, and raping women...

"Tell Wei Liu to cooperate with Jia Yucun to win over a group of people in Jiangnan and kill them with someone else's knife."

"Jiangnan cannot be in chaos. At the critical moment, no one can escape being killed."

Wei Wu looked at the flickering face of the Prince of Nan'an under the lamp.

Blurt out a question,

"Master! What kind of world do you want?"

As soon as the problem arose, he regretted it. It seemed that he had been with the prince for so long that he was almost forgetting his identity.

I almost treated the prince as a child.

Thinking of this, he punched himself hard.

Let the pain tell you that it's time to go to the battlefield and fight for your life.

"Master! I am so abrupt! I shouldn't have asked this question."

The Prince of Nan'an looked at the dark sky and felt a surge of warmth in his chest. He suppressed his surging passion and replied,

"A sunny world, a world that makes people happy."

Upon hearing this truthful answer, Wei Wu felt relieved.

No one can understand it, that is the correct answer.

"Also, is the Northwest going to be in chaos? Since the horse market has been banned, the horses on the grassland cannot be traded, and the income has dropped sharply. The sons of the old Chanyu of the Northwest have started fighting."

"Although our old prince died in battle, he severely injured the old Chanyu before he died."

"I don't think the old Chanyu can last many more years."

"If the old Chanyu dies and a new Chanyu is born, I'm afraid he will still invade the south."

"Also, how do we arrange for the birthday banquet at Prince Zhongshun's mansion?"

……

In a blink of an eye, a month later, the birthday of the Concubine Dowager of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion was approaching.

Normally, the Dowager Concubine's birthday celebration would not be celebrated in a grand manner, but this time, it was probably as if Prince Zhongshun's Palace had received some mission.

Invite all the officials and families in the capital.

……

The Lin family, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Guangping Lane,

Lin Daiyu frowned and pulled at her clothes. It was really awkward to be dressed so formally.

She asked Jia Min, "Mom! Aren't we not going?"

"I heard this is a blind date party."

"I am still a kid, and my father's status and position in the capital are not prominent."

"The most important thing is that we are party killers. Every time we attend a party, we mess things up for the party."

"Wouldn't it be bad luck for us to go there?"

It’s not that she doesn’t want to watch the fun, but she has no confidence in her destructive physique.

In fact, it would be nice to let the Prince of Nan'an marry the princess.

It’s exciting to think about a rebellious prince and a precious princess.

Jia Min was also helpless in fixing her makeup.

"I don't want to either. We received the invitation and I wanted to refuse it."

Especially when Jia Min heard that Princess Nan'an was also going, as well as some princesses and so on, she didn't want to go even more.

If he went there, he didn't know how to face Princess Nan'an, and he had no connection with Prince Zhongshun's Palace. If something happened, he would get into trouble.

"But your grandmother wrote to you and asked you to go."

"Mother couldn't bear to refuse. I guess your grandmother also wanted Mother to integrate into the ranks of the ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital as soon as possible."

"I can't bear to let her down."

Now no one knows who spread the word, but everyone in the capital knows that Lin Ruhai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is devoted to ancient books and does not care about worldly affairs.

He is a noble and outstanding scholar, more noble than those poor Hanlin scholars.

A real person is as pure as water.

He is also arrogant and dares to call his son a child prodigy at such a young age.

And no one has ever seen one of his articles or poems.

This is a person who is extremely shameless in his pursuit of fame.

Fortunately, the answer will be revealed in early spring next year.

The six-year-old Tongsheng exam, will he be a prodigy or a fool?

……

Since it was Grandmother Jia who invited her, Jia Min was determined to go.

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to follow.

We can't let mother face it alone, can we?

Because Yong'an was going to follow his cousin Lin, the only female relatives left were Lin Daiyu and Jia Min.

The two of them packed up, took Madam Rong, and each of them had two maids, and set off.

Today, both of them were dressed modestly, hoping to blend in with the crowd.

Before leaving, Lin Daiyu looked around, even the sky was not spared.

No parrots were found.

God! I hope everything goes well.

I just want to live a long life, and I'm in good shape now.

At the gate of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, the high threshold

People have long been divided into different gates according to their family background and status.

Originally, officials like Lin Ruhai had to enter and exit through a special side door.

But with Jia Min there, the servant who led them to the door led them directly to the Jia family's team.

"Sister Lin! You're here?"

"I thought you wouldn't come, so I begged my grandmother for a long time." When Jia Baoyu saw the Lin family, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came over to talk to them as briskly as if he was walking on clouds.

"You insisted on us coming?" Lin Daiyu really didn't understand. Is there something wrong with this?

I told him again and again that I didn't want to come, so why did he insist on doing so?

"It's not just me. I think my grandmother also received letters from other people." Jia Baoyu said quietly.

"Anyway, there are many people looking forward to your coming."

Lin Daiyu was even more puzzled because she didn't know anyone in the capital.

How can someone be attracted to my soul?

Looking forward to coming over.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was unhappy, Jia Baoyu tried to comfort her and explain.

"Don't worry about the reason. Anyway, we are here to make more friends."

"If you don't know anything, just ask me and I'll tell you."

Lin Daiyu said unhappily, "Where are Sister Tanchun and the others?"

Jia Baoyu's eyes dimmed, "They didn't come. Mother said that grandma is too old to take care of so many people."

Lin Daiyu was speechless.

Mrs. Wang’s reason was really bold. She said that she was too old to take care of anyone, but she was at the right age and didn’t want to move.

……

As Jia Baoyu spoke, he gave instructions excitedly and helped Lin Daiyu introduce the groups of people from different families outside.

"That one is from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and that one is from the Duke of Liguo's Mansion..."

Lin Daiyu looked at the families of each family one by one, but she could not remember any of them after passing by.

"Get out of the way, they're blocking the road." The Prince of Nan'an and Yong'an came rushing over from behind.

He rushed between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.

He went around to the side door to meet Lin Ruhai.

Yongan turned around, made a face at them, and hurried away.

Jia Baoyu said disapprovingly, "Your cousin seems to have a bad temper. He always looks gloomy when he sees me."

"What kind of relative is he to your family? I asked my grandmother but she couldn't explain it clearly."

"Aren't you going to the men's guests?" Lin Daiyu answered the question irrelevantly. She didn't know the answer to the identity of her cousin Jia Lin and was very curious.

But this does not mean discussing it with Jia Baoyu.

"I'll follow Brother Zhen and the others in a moment."
