The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

In fact, it's not that Lin Hai and Mrs. Lin don't want Lin Daiyu to return home for the New Year, it's really helpless.

The real power official released by Lin Hai is the inspector of salt and censor. You can tell from the name that it is an official position related to salt.In this era, salt is a very important national strategic material, and illegal salt and the like are serious illegal acts.The salt merchants are a group of rich and oily people.

Marx once said, "With a 50.00% profit, it will take risks; for a [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; with a [-]% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even At the risk of being hanged.” Although in this era, Marx had not yet been born, and it is not even known whether there was such a person as Marx, but capitalists are like this, and nothing has changed.The same is true of the salt merchants.The value of Yanyin and the salt tax are very high, and the salt industry is basically a monopoly industry.Therefore, while salt merchants are making a lot of money, they are also seeking higher benefits.However, salt imports were limited and salt taxes were high, so salt merchants tried various methods to take risks and seek more benefits.

In this behavior, collusion between officials and businessmen is necessary.Although private salt is illegal, if it is not found by the government, it is not a violation of the law, is it?Therefore, in addition to the common filial piety in China, the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River have the most filial piety of "salt".As the censor of salt inspection, Lin Hai also knew about it.

It's just that it's one thing to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, but it's another thing to be too arrogant and endanger yourself.Jinling is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. If it is connected to the Grand Canal, it can basically be counted as one with the south of the Yangtze River.And Jinling belongs to the old capital of the former dynasty, and there are many honorable families. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were naturally many honorable persons who made great contributions.

These people may have known how to behave with their tails between their legs. These years, under the background that the emperor needs more and more reputation of "benevolence" and is more and more indulgent to the meritorious deeds of veterans, they naturally become more and more arrogant.The Jia family and the Xue family are so arrogant in the world that has no one in the court, let alone other aristocratic families with people in the court. Among them, Jinling's "official protection talisman" can be seen.And the nobles of the Zhen family, who even have noble concubines and princes in the harem, are even more arrogant. They have always been called the emperors of Jinling and even Jiangnan, and even Lin Hai, Li Renhu, and Mu Ai Officials with the highest real power have nothing to do with their family.

It's just that these officials usually pay attention to peace as the most important thing, and there is no merit or demerit. However, when the design will endanger themselves, they must also weigh whether they are collaborating or withdrawing.

Although Lin Hai still knows how to be flexible in the officialdom, but his ancestors are also three generations of princes, he himself is a student of the emperor, he is a candidate for the imperial examination, and he married the daughter of a duke of the state. His status and background are sufficient, and he is naturally arrogant.In addition, Lin Hai is not a person without conscience, and he still wants to serve the emperor in his heart, so it is difficult for him to stand in a neutral situation when the Zhen family is becoming more and more rampant in uniting with the four major families to collect money.

Yes, he can't stand on the opposite side, he can stay neutral no matter what.It is not easy to remain neutral in this kind of battle for succession.Who doesn't know that the madness of the Zhen family is actually to win the eldest prince's funds to win the heir?

But Lin Hai's official position is so important, he wants to be neutral, and others don't want him to be so neutral.It was obvious that he couldn't come up, but there were endless conspiracies and tricks secretly, and he didn't care about the face of his former family friends at all.Therefore, many spies were naturally mixed into Lin Hai's mansion, and even the former servants were found to be other people's spies, or had already been bought.It's also fortunate that Mrs. Lin was investigating the servants in the mansion recently, trying to clear out the people her mother and second sister-in-law placed, so she found out about this matter. Otherwise, wouldn't the couple be cheated to death?They might not know what was added to the tea they ate and drank.

The two couples were terribly frightened, but they were both stubborn. The more the outside world forced them, the more they refused to admit defeat, and they stood completely in a neutral situation.Mrs. Lin has already taken her son to her room to watch, fearing that something might go wrong during this time.Lin Hai also fell asleep with his son. Although it is not in accordance with etiquette, it seems that the family of three sleep together, so they feel more at ease.

As for Lin Daiyu, the couple both thought that it would be safer in the princess mansion than at home.If it wasn't for the fact that the princess was a woman, they would have even thrown their son over there. The situation in the mansion was really worrying.Although it is necessary to offer incense to the ancestors during the Chinese New Year, since Lin Daiyu is a daughter, it does not matter if she is not at home, so the etiquette is also saved.

It's just that they didn't explain this clearly to Lin Daiyu, because they felt that Lin Daiyu was still young and couldn't understand what she said.But they often came to see Lin Daiyu, told Lin Daiyu some worried words, asked her to follow the princess well, and then came to pick her up.

But Lin Daiyu is intelligent and sensitive, so naturally it hurts her nerves.Shui Jue was too lazy to see Lin Daiyu sad. In her opinion, a good daughter has ambitions everywhere, so how could she be sad about trivial things every day.Although a good daughter can't aim everywhere now, she should be broad-minded, treat herself better, and don't make herself unhappy because of other people's faults.So after giving Lin Daiyu a scolding, she dragged Lin Daiyu to Jinling to celebrate the New Year.

As for why I went to Jinling... the Lantern Festival in Jinling is good, and at the Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern boat cruise on the river, and the leading pillars of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion Club along the coast will perform on their own lantern boats to attract customers.

What Shui Jue wanted to see was naturally the performances of the young ladies.Judging from the news she has received in this world, it is estimated that only young ladies are in line with her taste.But not to mention that these people cannot marry into the door, she can't even enter the Nanfeng Pavilion.After all, the men in the Nanfeng Pavilion are there to please men, not women.Men can enter Nanfeng Hall to play with men, but it is obviously impossible for women to play with men.

Shui Jue is only ten years old. Although he feels regretful, this age is obviously not enough to be hungry and thirsty, but it is always okay to appreciate a beautiful man who suits his own aesthetics, right?The young men in the Nanfeng Pavilion can't go whoring, have you ever had an eye addiction?After all, I don’t have to spend New Year’s Eve in the capital, pretending to be stupid with the emperor, this festive season, making myself happy is the real thing.

So she happily took a group of servants, and Lin Daiyu, who was "abandoned" by her parents, to Jinling to "recover her illness" and spend the New Year in Jinling by the way.

This Jinling has been known since ancient times as "clothes and cultural relics flourish in the south of the Yangtze River; literary talent and elegance are among the best in the sea", and its prosperity and elegance are deeper than those of Suzhou and Hangzhou.If it is said that "there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", but compared with Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, it is much worse in terms of extravagance.If you talk about a paradise in a certain sense, it really must be Qinhuai.
