The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Let's talk about Shang Duo, in front of familiar relatives and friends, sometimes he will speak on a whim.

Back then, Lin Ruhai was thinking of betrotting Daiyu to a promising young man from a poor family.

Not only can I, as a father, support her in the future, but I can also adopt a son to be an incense to the Lin family in the future.

After all, it is difficult for a famous family to accept a grandson changing his surname.

Shang Duo opened his mouth and came: Isn't it adoption?You don’t have to wait for the future, I’ll adopt one for you right now, you can choose whatever you want, the second and third in our family, if you like it, the surname will be Lin!

Lin Ruhai is now bringing this matter to the imperial court, and is going to run on Shang Duo together with the emperor.

He only intentionally said to the emperor: "Marquis Baoning is a valuable character, so you should speak out like a mountain. I ask the emperor to make a notarization."

Shang Duo was at a loss for words: Isn't this just a joke?How can there be a non-blood relative who would give away his raised son to someone else?

The emperor knew that this uncle was a bit fearful, so he also laughed and said: "What Lin Qing's family said is very true. Words that are spoken are water that is poured out, and it must not be silent."

Then he pointed to Jin You and said, "Go to Wufu Hall and report this matter to the Empress Dowager. Besides, it's better not to let Mrs. Hou know about such a big matter."

Shang Duo's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The emperor stopped: "Uncle will talk about it later." Then he waved to Jin You.

Sure enough, Jin You disappeared in a flash.

Thinking of his wife's frosty face, Shang Duo felt a little wilted.

Let's say that in the Wufu Hall, after the Jiji ceremony is over, banquets are not allowed in the palace now, so the concubines and concubines are ordered to disperse naturally.

The Empress Dowager Shang said softly to Jia's mother: "It's rare for the old matriarch to enter the palace, so let's sit in the imperial concubine's palace for a while and talk about the family relationship."

Mother Jia is busy thanking you.

For a time, only the Empress Dowager Xie and the family members of the two families remained in Wufu Hall.

Empress Xie smiled: "Now here are all my relatives."

Seeing Daiyu Xie En come back, she hurriedly said with concern: "Go inside and change your homely clothes. Fortunately, it's not summer, otherwise it will be very hot."

Just as Shang Chanchan was about to accompany Daiyu in, she saw Jin You running up again, and the two of them stopped to avoid further imperial edicts.

After Jin You replied to the matter just now, Shang Chanchan watched her mother's face turn from sunny to cloudy, with some wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and couldn't help but sweat for her father in her heart.

The less easily angered a person is, the more terrifying it is to get angry.

Jiang's is like this.

The Empress Dowager Shang couldn't help frowning, because everyone present was her own, she simply laughed and scolded directly: "Is he still such a bastard who has not changed his temperament?! Can my son be given away casually?"

Then he said to Jin You: "Go back and tell the emperor that I will first punish Baoninghou with one year's salary to Pingyanghou, which is regarded as an apology for his nonsense."

Here the emperor heard the report, couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle owes Lin Qing's family a son this time, how can one year's salary be settled? Let's think about paying it off slowly in the future."

After leaving the palace, Shang Duo complained repeatedly to Lin Ruhai: "You made me a marquis, but you fined me a year's salary. What do you call this?"

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Marquis? Don't you understand? If I really have a son now, the saint may not be willing to give such a high title."

In the past five years, there have been many courtiers who have turned to the emperor openly and secretly.

The emperor deliberately singled out Lin Ruhai to reward him wantonly, not only because he has the highest official position, but also because the Lin family is sparsely populated, his only daughter will also enter the Baoninghou residence.

So Lin Ruhai just shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, my own abilities only account for half of this marquis, and the rest just happened to coincide with the emperor's daughter's desire to buy horse bones."

Friends and foes are temporary, but interests are eternal.

Those old ministers supported the Supreme Emperor because the Supreme Emperor could give them enough benefits.

Now seeing the great change in the Supreme Emperor's temperament, his own reliability and health index have been declining all the way, and the red light is on. Naturally, there are some people who want to change their families.

Lin Ruhai's Marquis position is simply a big golden signboard.

Shang Duo feared that Lin Ruhai would fall into the literati temper again and engage in the practice of being rewarded for nothing, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "No matter what it is for, the benefits are real."

"As for my position as prime minister, is it because there is no one more capable than me in the whole court? Is it because I am the emperor's uncle."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "You don't need to persuade me. If I really can't figure it out, I won't choose to go to Beijing, but I will die of old age and die in Jiangnan."

Shang Duo breathed a sigh of relief: "As soon as Xie Yucee came out of Beijing, the Ministry of War suddenly couldn't hold back. Geng Zhongwen is a good old man, he would shake his head when he asked, but when the emperor was in a hurry, he knelt and kowtowed, and all the people around him pushed him away. Give me."

"I don't want you to do it now, and if you put the household department down, I, the prime minister, don't have to do it anymore. Just lie down and wait for the Supreme Emperor to reward me with the coffin."

At such a critical juncture, those fools who have just swayed over will at most praise the individual, making the emperor more popular.

Those who really work are still the emperor's confidantes.

The more this time, the less mistakes can be made.You must hold your last breath, and you must not fall into the darkness before dawn.

Lin Ruhai looked serious: "Don't worry, I'm only for my daughter, and I can't let the Supreme Emperor give your family a coffin."

Instead, Shang Duo clapped his palms and smiled: "Speaking of rewards, our family will get another reward tomorrow—then Chi'er will be the son of the eldest son following the marriage decree."

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised: "The Supreme Emperor has annoyed you for being so angry recently, and the emperor wants to be the son of the prince? The emperor's move may only anger the old sage."

The smile on Shang Duo's lips was chilling: "That's exactly what it is. Everyone knows that the emperor is forbearing, but they don't know that the emperor is also forbearing. It's better to block it than to avoid it. It's better to let both of them vent for a while, so that they can last for a while. "

The Emperor Taishang, the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty, changed his temperament drastically and did whatever he wanted.

However, Shang Duo knew that the Supreme Emperor hadn't really lost his mind, and was actually enduring it: otherwise, why would the old man only throw things at him, a courtier, and never hit the emperor again.

After all, there are still scruples.

It's just that the tighter the string of two people is, the more suspicious each other will be.

The Supreme Emperor was beating the drums in doubt: I forced the emperor's son not to touch Zhen Yingjia, why didn't he respond.

It's impossible to endure like this, I guess I'm brewing a bigger thought.

Are you going to kill your father directly!

The unknown is the most terrifying.

On the contrary, the emperor was so rebellious that he specially rewarded the officials who the emperor recently reprimanded and hated, so the emperor felt relieved.

This is the principle of equivalent exchange.

The next day, the emperor issued another imperial decree that Shang Chi would marry the head of Mingjia County as the heir son of the Marquis of Baoning.

Following yesterday's freshly baked Marquis Decree, it was another blockbuster that blasted all the officials and famous families into a mess.

However, unlike many people's expectations, the Supreme Emperor remained strangely silent on this matter, and did not object.

He even calmed down for a while, and stopped taking Shang Duo to scold him.

The two furniture, Shanglin, breathed a sigh of relief: This move is actually a dangerous move by soldiers, and there is no way to do it.

It's like fighting poison with poison.

If the dose is wrong, it is likely to be completely poisoned and dead.

So far, it seems that it is still dangerous.

The Taishanghuang was not really crazy, and he and the emperor each took a step back.

However, the father and son could not turn back after all. The Supreme Emperor summoned the emperor, and his tone was firm and irrefutable: "Order the prince to return to Beijing and continue to be the military envoy of the Beijing camp."

The emperor only said: "There is chaos in southern Fujian, and the rebellious parties in all provinces are ready to move. Now there are some rebellious parties in Shuzhong where Wang Ziteng lives. I ordered him to return to Beijing after the local cleanup, and he will come back in July or August at the latest. .”

The Supreme Emperor frowned slightly, it took less than half a year.

However, southern Fujian is already in chaos, and if the Shu land cannot be suppressed any longer, half of the world will be in chaos.

The father and son don't have to fight openly and secretly here, they can just issue an imperial edict together and kneel down to their ancestors.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was hesitant, the emperor said: "Father, there is no need to worry. Since Xie Yuchu is not in the capital, and Ling'er is still a child, how can he bear the heavy responsibility. When the prince comes back, the governor of the capital will naturally be his."

Only then did the Supreme Emperor promise: "Let's order him to deal with the affairs of Shu at the nearest place first. But no matter what, we must ask him to return to Beijing before August."

This temporary truce between the Tian family father and son made the people below relax a bit.

At least Lin Ruhai spent a lot of time deciding on a name for her daughter.

This day, I brought it to my daughter to see.

"Yi'an." Daiyu gently read the two words on the paper.

She is very knowledgeable, so she naturally knows how to be happy, to be happy, to be happy.

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai said: "My father's expectations for Yu'er in this life are all in these two words: I only hope that you will be happy and safe."

Daiyu smiled: "Thank you, Daddy, I like these two words very much."

Lin Ruhai also felt happy in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, and then his face changed a little: "I only heard Chi'er say in the past two days that you were in Rongguo Mansion before, and Baoyu actually gave you a name?"

"I don't know the rules, did he curse me to death!"

It is natural for the father or husband of the daughter's family to pick up the table characters.

At that time, Daiyu was young and had no marriage matters, but Baoyu wanted to find a character for Daiyu on her own. Didn't she think that she would not have the good fortune in this life to ask her father to get a character?

Daiyu said with a smile, "Daddy, don't be upset. Don't you know how many times my second cousin has been beaten for his inappropriate words?"

"Besides, I don't like the word frown and frown. These two words make people sad."

"My father chose these two words, and my daughter likes them very much."

Only then did Lin Ruhai feel happy again, and he thought, since the marriage was decided, Shang Chi has been with him on the premise, for what reason, he still doesn't know?

It's nothing more than that he wants Daiyu to pass by in the future. As a husband, he comes to get the word, so he knocks sideways in front of him.

But Lin Ruhai is just this precious daughter, how can she let others.

In the past few days, I really haven't had a good sleep, and I have read all the well-meaning words in the world.

In the end, I still gave up those words of honor and consummation, and chose the simplest meaning of peace and joy.

Lin Ruhai saw the warehouse list in front of Daiyu again, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that your grandmother and mother both left early, and your daughter's family has to handle the preparation of the dowry."

For the six ceremonies of the wedding, Lin Ruhai outside would naturally do everything perfectly for her daughter, but Daiyu had to make up her own mind about many trivial matters in the house.

The Lin family is really small in population.No close relatives can be found within three generations, so naturally there are no female elders to arrange marriages.

Rongguo Mansion is not directly on Lin Ruhai's list.

The Marquis of Baoning, a well-connected family, was born in-laws, so the Jiang family could not come to help.

Because of the empress, the Xie family and the Lin family are considered close.However, Mrs. Hu, the wife of the Shizi, even her own housekeeper can't figure it out, and when she comes, she will only help more and more.

As for Madam Zou, his seniority is too high - it is not likely that the old matriarch of Cheng'en Gongfu will come to work at Lin's house every day.

It was Empress Xie who really loved Daiyu so much that she even sent Xueliu, the court lady in charge, to replace her with a loving mother's heart, and to take care of Daiyu every day in Pingyang Hou's mansion.

It is also to support Daiyu in front of outsiders.

No one is allowed to gossip that the daughter of the Lin family has no elders to handle the marriage - the current empress is her closest relatives and elders.

Daiyu knows that her father is reluctant to marry herself, and has been worrying about gains and losses recently.

So he deliberately joked: "It's my daughter who should do it herself. It won't save others from stealing my dowry."

Thinking of the wedding date sent by his father, he couldn't help but say: "I still want to send someone to invite Dad to ask, why did I set the date at the beginning of June, it's too rushed."

Lin Ruhai also asked Shang Duo that day.

Marquis Baoning had a rare and serious look on his face: "June is getting late. We won't be able to spare any time after July."

Lin Ruhai is also very sensitive about this date: "The imperial decree ordered Prince Teng to temporarily quell the chaos in Shu and enter Beijing before July [-]."

Shang Duo nodded, his voice was very soft, but the words he said were earth-shattering.

"Your majesty, you won't let Wang Ziteng step into the capital again alive."

It's just that many things still need to be prepared, so I have to delay it for a few more days.

So even if Wang Ziteng showed great power and resolved the Shu land matter in two days, the emperor would find other ways to drag him out.

At this time, Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter's face and just smiled: "The emperor's decree, the auspicious date specially ordered by Qin Tianjian, we and the two governments have to obey."

"Yu'er doesn't have to worry about things outside, An An will be married with peace of mind."
