The Founding of the Red Chamber

Quietly, the little guy is half-hearted, the emperor who breaks the universe is domineering

The child of the poor has been in charge of the family early, and he is blessed with this kind of scheming ability. With the money Situ San gave him in his arms, he and his master, Boss Hu, returned Situ Li's disrespectful reply.

You Fu didn't favor Situ San at all, instead he reported truthfully, "Mr. Situ only thought he was Bao Qingtian, and beat and scolded this servant. However, this servant saw that Mr. Situ was just a vain trick. He scolded the slave, but his son Situ Fen took what was in the slave's hand. How about it, the master sees Situ Fen again, like that villain, it is not difficult to buy."

This errand, Blessed is half done.Boss Hu snorted coldly and didn't scold anyone, he just reprimanded him to back down, that's all.

Youfu returned to his room with the silver pancake warmed by his chest in his arms.Blessed not only had money, but also led his elder brother to see illnesses and drink medicines under the nose of the master's house.A child from a poor family has a tough life and a solid skin. After drinking a dozen or so medicines, he will get rich and heal.

There were only a few copper coins left in Youfu's hand. He told his elder brother about Situ San, made a fortune and followed Mr. Hu, and was extra knowledgeable. He said, "Then Situ San is not a bad person."

Blessed said in a low voice, "Whoever says it's not, means that our brother is not blessed." If he followed Situ San, he wouldn't be like a thief sneaking up on medical treatment when his brother was sick.

The two brothers sighed for a while, and when Fa Cai recovered, they resumed their usual routine, but paid more attention to Boss Hu's every move.

In dealing with the matter of Prince Xiangyang, Emperor Zhaode suddenly acted vigorously and shocked the whole court.

In the early dynasty, in the Rui'an Palace, Emperor Zhaode used to be disrespectful to the imperial court from the Xiangyang king, and now the Xiangyang king is disobedient to his aunt, disloyal and unfilial, and the Xiangyang palace has been occupied all over.Emperor Zhaode counted the lack of behavior in the Xiangyang palace, and then asked the five vassals directly, "How can such an unfaithful and unfilial place be worthy of a prince? How can such a benevolent and unrighteous mansion inherit the clan?"

Most of the time, Emperor Zhaode was a very gentle person. Suddenly, the spirit of the emperor was fully released, and the courtiers were surprised, and at the same time, no one dared to touch him with his life.Only the King of Jinling said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the lineage of the Xiangyang Palace is also the descendant of Emperor Taizu..."

Emperor Zhaode said calmly, "Don't tell me, Uncle Wang, I have forgotten that the rebellious king who planned the chaos back then is also the descendant of Emperor Taizu."

The dynasty was long, and there were not many people who conspired against him. Emperor Zhaode said something casually, and King Jinling was in a cold sweat, so he didn't dare to say more.

Xie Guogong stepped out calmly, made a big salute, and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!" It was rare for Emperor Zhaode to be decisive at last, Xie Guogong didn't think much about it, and decided to settle the matter directly.The matter of Xiangyang Palace has dragged on for so long, Xie Guogong will never allow Xiangyang Palace to stand up.

With Xie Guogong taking the lead in flattering the horse, the whole court immediately shouted "Long Live the Holy Spirit".

Emperor Zhaode sat high on the dragon chair, looking down at the courtiers kneeling on the ground in the hall, a trace of determination gradually rose in his heart.

Empress Dowager Lin naturally also knew the prestige of Emperor Zhaode in the court.

When Emperor Zhaode went to pay his respects to the Mercy Palace, when talking about King Xiangyang, Empress Dowager Lin nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "The spirit of the late emperor in heaven must be gratifying."

For Emperor Zhaode, this is the best compliment.Emperor Zhaode smiled, "The empress is overwhelmed. I have something else I want to discuss with the empress."

In fact, if Emperor Zhaode didn't open his mouth, Empress Dowager Lin could guess it. However, as a aunt instead of a biological mother, you don't have to be too smart. Empress Dowager Lin asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"It's the Zhen family." Emperor Zhaode apologized a little, and said, "At the beginning, the Zhen family disrespected the mother, and I removed her position and put her in the cold palace. If the mother hadn't pointed out that the Zhen family had a child I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this child."

Empress Dowager Lin sighed, "From the empress of the first emperor to the empress dowager now, I have seen many concubines' tricks. The Zhen family dares to disrespect me in Changyin Garden, there must be someone to rely on. For the concubine It is said that the best thing to rely on is the piece of meat in the stomach. What's more, when the emperor resigned from her position that day, Mrs. Zhen still didn't forget to protect her stomach in panic. I saw it and guessed it. She is a palace Concubine, it doesn't matter whether she is alive or dead. However, if she has a child in her belly, if I don't tell you, when she goes to the Leng Palace, the wall will fall and everyone will push her... I feel sorry for Your Majesty." Mrs. Zhen is pregnant, and Mrs. Zhen's stomach is really in the cold palace. It is inevitable that Emperor Zhaode will have resentment towards the Palace of Mercy.

Emperor Zhaode listened silently, and said, "Only the queen mother will really think about me."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled and patted Emperor Zhaode's hand, "Our mother and son, why bother to say this."

Emperor Zhaode said, "I just want to tell my mother about Zhen Shi. She is nine months old now, and she is about to give birth, so she can't be born here. But before, Zhen Shi disrespected her mother. For the face of the emperor, it is already a grace to allow her to leave the cold palace, but in the past few years, I don't want to promote her position. I really can't think of a good way to accommodate her."

Empress Dowager Lin didn't understand Emperor Zhaode's intentions, and said, "If she is not promoted, how can she raise the prince alone as a court lady? In fact, if the emperor has concerns about the Qianqiu Festival, there is no need. Ruo Zhen Giving birth to a prince is a meritorious service to the emperor and the court."

Empress Dowager Lin didn't care about the Zhen family at all, and she was worried that Emperor Zhaode would be in trouble, so she took the initiative to pave the steps. No, Emperor Zhaode shook his head firmly, "The palace has rules, and the Zhen family has past before. The prince then pardoned her, what are the rules? I thought, there is Meixiang Courtyard behind the Mercy Palace, why not clean it up and let Mrs. Zhen wait for delivery in Meixiang Courtyard."

"That's fine." Queen Mother Lin said, "Meixiangyuan has been unoccupied for a long time, and Mrs. Zhen must have a dragon heir. Let me clean it up first, so don't wrong the child in your stomach."

Anyway, Emperor Zhaode didn't want a prince to be raised in her Palace of Mercy, so it would be good for both parties, and it would be clean.Empress Dowager Lin only warned, "No matter how appropriate it is for the emperor's heir." The Zhen family will not be promoted, but there is no reason for the emperor's heir to be raised in the hands of the palace.Emperor Zhaode planned this way because he wanted the Zhen family to hand over the heir to a high-ranking concubine to raise him after the birth of the emperor.So how will the Zhen family arrange it?Empress Dowager Lin was a little curious.

Emperor Zhaode accompanied Empress Dowager Lin to have breakfast before going to the imperial study to deal with government affairs.

If you are an emperor, you can't rest until you write a pen on New Year's Eve.

The Lin family has already started preparing for the New Year. Lin Jing's body has almost recovered. He has a father's temper and wants to meddle in everything.It seemed that the Chinese New Year was about to come, and even the menu for the Chinese New Year was drawn up by him with the help of the Yue family.

Now, Lin Jing has been studying seriously for a year, and has become, more, more confident.So, in addition to helping his sister-in-law, he also wrote a lot of festive couplets and pasted them all over the yard for Mr. Shu.Shu Jingyun picked up one, looked at Lin Jing who was stepping on the high stool to paste the couplet outside the door for him, and said, "Quickly reveal it, this kind of dog crawling is not enough to be embarrassing."

"You call the dog to crawl, and if you can crawl out of words like me, I will screw my head off." Shu Jingyun is not strict with Lin Jing, a confident person like Lin Jing. The two are both teachers and friends, especially Shu Jingyun. Taking Lin Jing to play in the street, Lin Jing came back after learning a lot of slang.

Shu Jingyun smiled, "Then don't, if the dog's paws are really better than you, wouldn't I have no disciples? My brother Jing is so precious."

Lin Jing turned his head, wrinkled the tip of his nose at Shu Jingyun, hummed twice, then turned around and patted the pasted couplet with his small hands to prevent it from sticking and falling off.When the couplets were firmly pasted, Lin Jing stretched out his two small arms, "Sir, hold me down." The stool was a bit high, so he jumped directly, Lin Jing was afraid of twisting his feet.

Shu Jingyun went over, stretched out her arm, Lin Jing grabbed Shu Jingyun's arm with two small hands, swayed her small body, and grabbed Shu Jingyun's arms, and then slid down to the ground.Shu Jingyun held Lin Jing's little paw, feeling a little cold, and said, "Go to the greenhouse and sit for a while."

Lin Jing said happily, "Yesterday I watched the little garlic sprouts I planted grow taller again."

Lin Yi treats Shu Jingyun very well, and the yards he enters three times are all arranged according to Shu Jingyun's taste.There are medicine fields and greenhouses. Lin Jing is just the age of a child. He is born smart and curious about everything. Following Shu Jingyun, there is one thing Lin Jing likes the most.Shu Jingyun never treats him like a glass man, not only that, but also often bullies him and orders him to work.

If you do not do well, you are often scolded.

Lin Jing was very angry at the beginning, but after being scolded, Lin Jing couldn't break up with Shu Jingyun, so he didn't care.

The greenhouse is spacious and warm, with plenty of sunlight.

Shu Jingyun mostly raises common flowers and plants, such as wintersweet, narcissus, asparagus, green radish, bluegrass, etc. Among them, there are small garlic sprouts grown by Lin Jing himself.Lin Jing saw a lot of flowers and plants, so she didn't take it seriously.Like small garlic sprouts, he used them for seasoning when he saw Shu Jingyun cooking, so he was very curious.Shu Jingyun found a germinated garlic and asked Lin Jing to bury it in the soil. Later, when garlic sprouts grew, Lin Jing moved it into a flower pot like a baby, and kept it in Mr. Shu's greenhouse. She came to see it every day.

As soon as Lin Jing entered the greenhouse, he went to look at his little garlic sprouts.

Lin Jing took out a piece of rope from his sleeve, and compared the height of the garlic sprouts, Lin Jing nodded and muttered, "It grows really slowly.

Shu Jingyun tidied up the flowers and plants, and made fun of Lin Jing, "If you think it's too slow, just pull it up."

Lin Jing is a person who has studied, so he naturally knows the story of pulling seedlings to encourage growth. He said, "Sir, if you laugh at me again, I will pull out all your precious flowers." He bowed his head and tied a knot on the string, which was a mark. Let's compare tomorrow.

Shu Jingyun said, "I can't kill you."

Lin Jing ran up to Shu Jingyun, pouted his buttocks and twisted a few times, and provoked, "Hurry up, kill me?"

Shu Jingyun raised her hand to hit her, but Lin Jingzao deftly ran to the bucket and scooped up water.Shu Jingyun pointed to a few potted flowers around her, Lin Jing raised her chin and said, "I was going to beat me just now, look at how good I am, and I even helped Mr. water the flowers." Saying this, Lin Jing still watered his little garlic seedlings first, Just went to water Shu Jingyun's flowers, and asked, "Sir, do you think I'm okay?"

"Okay, the number one in the world is good." Shu Jingyun pointed to the pruned branches and leaves, and said, "The number one in the world is good, and then collect these flower branches."

Lin Jing put down the water ladle, went to get the dustpan again, squatted on the ground while picking up branches and leaves, and asked trickily, "Sir, how much money are you going to give me?"

"What money?" Shu Jingyun sternly scolded, "Master has something to do, and the disciple will do his best. The books are all in the stomach of a dog? But tell you to clean up the branches and leaves, how dare you ask for money?"

At the beginning, he said that his handwriting was pawed by a dog's paw, but now he said that he was a dog's stomach. Lin Jing suddenly stood up, and bit Shu Jingyun's hand.Don't look at Lin Jing's young age, his mouth full of millet teeth, but his teeth are sharp.Suddenly being bitten, Shu Jingyun's hands really hurt.Shu Jingyun looked at Lin Jing expressionlessly, and Lin Jing said angrily, "Dog's paw, dog's belly, dog's mouth, what's the matter?"

How could Shu Jingyun be angry with a child? Seeing Lin Jing's angry appearance, Shu Jingyun burst out laughing.

Lin Jing had already decided to quarrel with Mr. Shu before biting his lips. As a result, Mr. Shu was not only angry, but also laughed like this.Lin Jing rolled his eyes angrily, Shu Jingyun kicked his butt lightly, and said with a smile, "Quick, pack it up, I'll teach you how to grow garlic."

Sweeping his butt casually, Lin Jing said, "I've already planted it, so I need you to teach me? I don't know how good my little garlic sprouts are growing!"

"What do you know? You thought it was over after you planted the garlic and measured how high it grew every day?" Shu Jingyun sighed, "If farmers are like you, the world will starve to death."

Lin Jing thought for a while and said, "If you fool me, I won't believe you anymore."

"Clean up quickly." Shu Jingyun said warmly, "After you plant the garlic, I'll cook for you."

That's about the same.Shu Jingyun spoke soft words to him, and Lin Jing went down the donkey, tidied up the branches and leaves, and swept the ground with a broom.Shu Jingyun smiled secretly, and said to Lin Jing, "Okay, I'll make you two fresh dishes at noon."

Lin Jing's eyes lit up immediately.

Lin Jing was born with eccentricities.

For example, no matter how many guards there are in the house, he prefers Lin Yi to take him on horseback.

For another example, Baba is served by a chef from the palace in his yard, and he prefers to eat Shu Jingyun's mediocre craftsmanship.

Shu Jingyun was treated as a guest by Lin Yi. Not only is the courtyard spacious, but in order to make it easier to heat up meals and the like, he also packed up two separate rooms in his courtyard, leaving a stove hole, full of ordinary vegetables.

Shu Jingyun wanted these things, but the kitchen didn't have them, so she asked someone to buy them outside.

Not only is Shu Jingyun's belly full of articles, but she is also good at cooking. When Lin Jing first learned that Shu Jingyun has cooking skills, she was shocked.Later, after eating the food cooked by Shu Jingyun a few times, Lin Jing fell in love with Shu Jingyun's craftsmanship, and from time to time, seeing Shu Jingyun in a good mood, she asked him to cook for herself.

Shu Jingyun was cooking, and Lin Jing followed like a little tail.Since he followed by, Shu Jingyun didn't just let him be a Buddha, order Lin Jing to wash and choose vegetables and so on.Because of this, Lin Jing got to know a lot of vegetables and fish. In the past, Lin Jing had eaten most of them, because many dishes were different from the original ones when they were served, so Lin Jing only knew the taste but did not recognize the body.

Now, following Shu Jingyun as a little tail, Lin Jing knows more things besides the Four Books and Five Classics besides the sage's book and sage's words.

Following Shu Jingyun to wash something with thin yellow leaves, Lin Jing asked, "Sir, what is this?"

"Garlic yellow."

"Is this also grown from garlic?" Lin Jing asked, "Then why are my garlic sprouts green and this one yellow? Does it have something to do with the variety of my garlic?"

"This kind is garlic moss, which is also grown from garlic."

Lin Jing felt miraculous. It turns out that the same garlic can grow garlic seedlings, garlic yellow and garlic moss with different methods.Moreover, what Mr. Lin Jingjue made for him, scrambled eggs with garlic yolk and fried pork slices with garlic moss, were all delicious.

Lin Jing asked, "It's really strange, sir, why haven't I eaten garlic yellow or garlic moss before?"

Shu Jingyun made four small stir-fries, scrambled eggs with garlic yolk, fried pork slices with garlic moss, stir-fried small green vegetables, stewed squab in a clear soup, and a bowl of seaweed tofu soup.

Hearing Lin Jing's question, Shu Jingyun put two pieces of eggs in a bowl for Lin Jing, and said, "The rules in the palace are complicated, like the dishes you use in the past, don't you see green onions, ginger and garlic in them?"

"That's right, even the cooks don't let it go." It was only after following Mr. Shu in recent days that Lin Jing recognized the appearance of onions, gingers and garlics.

Shu Jingyun smiled, "It's not that I don't keep it, it's that I let it go, but before presenting it to the master, I have to pick out these seasonings again, and I can't leave it in the dish for the master to see."

"This garlic yellow garlic moss has a strong smell and is indecent. It's normal if you haven't eaten it."

Lin Jing bit it vigorously and said, "It's delicious."

After a meal, Lin Jing began to increase the cultivation of garlic yellow and garlic moss in his great career of garlic cultivation.

Of course, this is something for later, so I don't need to mention it for now.

As the new year was approaching, Lin Yi went to the office a little earlier than usual, and went back to the main courtyard to change into his homely clothes, so Lin Yi went to Shu Jingyun to talk.

Lin Jing is also there, because of his father's temper, he likes to meddle in everything, and if he doesn't tell him, he won't be happy, loses his temper, plays tricks, and can do anything.Lin Yi scolded and spanked her buttocks as well. As a result, Lin Jing's nature was hard to change, and he would not change it even to death.Lin Yi had no choice but to see that Lin Jing was a bit clever and knowledgeable, so he allowed Lin Jing to sit aside to save him from asking around.

"Big brother." Hearing the boy's reply outside, Lin Jing hurriedly got up from the couch and ran to the door to meet Lin Yi.Lin Yi leaned over and hugged Lin Jing in his arms, and asked, "Isn't it a holiday for you, why are you here with Ah Yun?" Throughout the winter, Lin Jing's body has been ill for a month, and now he is recovering.Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, Lin Yi didn't want him to bother him with his studies, so he gave Lin Jing a holiday.He would rather have fun and take good care of his body.

Lin Jinghuang waved his little hand, and said in a cute and sensible way, "Huang Tingjian said that if you don't read for three days, you will feel that the language is tasteless and your appearance is disgusting. My elder brother gave me a holiday, so I have to study hard. This will not only increase my connotation and temperament I won't disappoint big brother." After speaking, he looked at Lin Yi expectantly.

Lin Yi had long been used to hearing Lin Jing's rhetoric, so he smiled when he heard the words, so he wouldn't use Lin Jing's words to praise this kid.Since Lin Jing was acquiesced to listen in on the court affairs between Lin Yi and Shu Jingyun, he has been very active. Every afternoon, when Lin Yi came home from Luo Ya, he came to Shu Jingyun's place on time, just to listen to what Lin Yi had to say. court affairs.

Carrying Lin Jing into the house, Lin Yi drank a cup of hot tea to warm up before talking about the expelling of the Prince of Xiangyang.Lin Yi said, "Your Majesty is furious."

Shu Jingyun pondered for a moment, and said, "It's quite sudden, and this matter has been procrastinating for half a year. Looking at His Majesty's past decisions, he is not decisive. There must be a reason for his sudden behavior."

Lin Jing continued, "Anomalies are demons."

Lin Yi pinched Lin Jing's buttocks, and reprimanded, "Shut up." Dare to say that His Majesty is a monster, but it is the root of disaster for people to hear.

Lin Jing protested, "Shut up and shut up, big brother, why are you twisting my ass." It hurts.

"Then slap your mouth?"

"Just say it, it's not like I don't understand." Lin Jing spoke convincingly, twisted his buttocks on Lin Yi's lap, and grunted twice.

Lin Yi directly put Lin Jing down and slapped his butt twice.Before Lin Jing could react, he was picked up and hugged on his lap again. Lin Jing was stunned. Just, just now, he was beaten, he was beaten...

Lin Jing is still confused, Lin Yi has already talked about court affairs with Shu Jingyun, "Your Majesty trusts Lord Tang very much, and often summons him in private to ask about the affairs of Lord Tang."

Shu Jingyun said, "Tang Ying is only in his twenties. Even if he was the number one scholar, he is lucky to be a bachelor. There must be a reason why His Majesty favors him so much. Otherwise, he wouldn't be promoted like this."

Lin Yi thought for a while, "Master Tang has been a bachelor for more than a year, and His Majesty has not given him any special importance."

"Or the time has not come." Shu Jingyun was silent for a while, and said, "I can guess what Tang Ying is thinking. He is a very ambitious person, and his heart is very big."

"If Your Majesty really listens to Tang Ying's words and is determined to destroy the Xiangyang Palace..." Shu Jingyun sighed, "Since Tang Ying has completely won His Majesty's trust, he will slowly begin to grasp some real power in the court. Tang Ying, is not a He will be willing to be just an empty-headed scholar."

Lin Yi said, "It's not a blessing." Hearing and believing, especially when an emperor would do such a thing, it's not a blessing for the court or the world.

Shu Jingyun didn't speak, and acquiesced to Lin Yi's words.

Lin Jing finally found a chance to speak. He whispered, "If this Tang is looking for trouble, we can send an assassin..." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jing screamed, and Lin Yi grabbed his ass again. , It hurts to death!

Lin Yi said with a dark face, "Scholar Tang is surrounded by six guards personally sent by His Majesty to protect the safety of Bachelor Tang."

Lin Jing shut up.

Shu Jingyun glanced at Lin Jing and said, "Besides, it doesn't matter to us what Tang Ying is like. Except for his title, Ah Yi's official position in the court is not high. It's Tang Ying's actions, as long as he doesn't target the Lin family, what are you doing?" thing."

"After all, Tang Ying is His Majesty's favorite person, a first-rank bachelor in the imperial court." Shu Jingyun said, "Send someone to kill him, do you think the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is full of dead people? Don't believe any seamless nonsense, kill a first-rank bachelor, you Do you think you can be invisible?"

Lin Jing was finally ashamed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yi took Lin Jing back for dinner.

Lin Jing was wrapped in a big fur cloak, with a hat on his head, and started to act mischievously. He glanced at the bluestone road brightly illuminated by lanterns carried by a few servants, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's so dark, I can't see the road clearly. ah."

Lin Yi ignored him and ordered, "Qingsong, carry Jing'er and go."

Qingsong didn't dare to approach Lin Jing, and sure enough, Lin Jing tilted his head and said, "Qingsong must have not bathed all day, it stinks."

"I didn't take a shower either."

Lin Jing went to touch Lin Yi's hand, seeing Lin Yi looking at him with a stinky face, Lin Jing grinned happily, and shook his elder brother's hand.Lin Jing acted so coquettishly to please Lin Yi, Lin Yi's heart softened, and he leaned over to hug him.

In fact, Lin Yi is not good at holding children, Lin Jing has to adjust his posture, directing Lin Yi where to be looser and where to be heavier, Lin Yi is very annoyed, "If you talk too much, you can go by yourself."

Lin Jing sat on Lin Yi's strong forearm, covered Lin Yi's ear with one hand, and leaned into Lin Yi's ear to speak kindly to Lin Yi, "Big brother, are you angry?"

Lin Yi snorted, Lin Jing's voice was small, his breathing was light, and it fell on Lin Yi's ears softly and itchy, "Big brother, you have to be patient. You are so old, I have something bad, You have to teach me slowly, don't be impatient." After a pause, Lin Jing gave Lin Yi advice, saying, "You can't always grab my ass and spank my ass, how embarrassing I am."

Lin Yi said with a straight face, "Next time if you don't obey me, I'll strip you off and beat you."

Lin Jing immediately covered his elder brother's mouth with his small hand, and said angrily, "Big brother, you can't speak in a low voice." When the boys heard it, he lost face.

The servant couldn't go with him to the inner house, so Lin Yi carried Lin Jing in and said to him, "What face do you want?"

Lin Jing leaned closer to the big brother's ear again, muttering something, until he entered the room in the main courtyard, Lin Jing asked in a low voice, "Big brother, did Mr. Shu and Xueshi Tang know each other a long time ago?"

Lin Yi responded softly.

Lin Jing immediately wondered, is it because of this that the elder brother kept Mr. Shu in the mansion?
