Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

What the queen meant was to ask Cuizhu to send these girls out in person, and to reward each of them with a face.

What is the green bamboo for?The eldest maid in the empress's palace has been with the empress for more than forty years, and her share is more than many masters in the palace. She can say a word more effectively than many masters in the palace.

Why overkill?When Cui Zhu led them along the imperial garden to the Shenwu Gate, she announced, "Girls, the gates in the palace are strictly guarded, and some words cannot be leaked out." The words were a bit blunt, for fear that these people would not understand.

This is just beating, no matter how inappropriate or inappropriate what the Crown Princess said just now, no matter how many people offended, it must not be spread.Even if the queen doesn't like her very much, the dignity of the royal family is still maintained. After all...she will be the queen in half a year.

The girls, although they are not very old, are able to be announced into the palace by the empress, and they plan to ration them to several princes. Their families must be extraordinary, and their education is also extraordinary, so they all listened to Cui Zhu's words clearly.Immediately, someone laughed and said: "What my aunt ordered is that the few times I have entered the palace, there are some things that even my parents have never said."

Cuizhu smiled, just understand.Because there were so many people, Cuizhu didn't say anything to Wanyu, but just gave her a look when helping her into the car.

Wanyu smiled and left in the carriage.

Cui Zhu watched the six carriages scatter in all directions and turned back to Kunning Palace.

"They're all gone?" the queen asked with a tired face, leaning against a soft cushion, with half-closed eyes.

Cuizhu quietly stepped forward and pressed the queen's forehead, saying: "I sent them all away, don't worry, empress, I told you."

The queen sighed, she didn't plan to change the prince to a princess, why should a woman make things difficult for a woman, the princess has had a hard time in the past few years, the prince doesn't like her, and the family members have to go all out, if three generations can't take the imperial examination, they can't be an official for three generations, With this decree, even if the crown prince became the emperor and the crown princess's family became relatives of the emperor, they could only have vacant titles and no errands.

The princess is in her 40s, and she can still watch for a few more years. If three generations can't be officials, her family will be so completely dilapidated.

"Your Majesty...do you want to mention her a few more words?" Cui Zhu asked hesitantly.

"Remind her?" The Queen's voice suddenly rose a little, "How many times have I told her that she can't get around this by herself, and no one can help her!"

"Niang Niang." Cui Zhu's subordinates emphasized a little bit, and said: "The princess's marriage is unsatisfactory, and the crown princess is a real mother, so it is inevitable..."

"Is it okay if my Yanlan marries?" The queen turned over and sat up, "It was not the same at the beginning, Your Majesty for..." The queen was suddenly discouraged, and waved her hand: "Forget it, women have a bad life, after all, they didn't take care of themselves." Recognize the advantages. If Jingqi shows her momentum, the Gao family can stop her from entering the palace? She is the emperor's granddaughter, and if she cries a few times in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will always soften her heart."

The queen sat on the couch and thought for a long time, and said: "Go to Princess Xuan and come here. I will tell her again." After the year, the prince will succeed to the throne, and many things will be handled by the princess. Although the queen feels that she He is in good health, but at this age, how many more years will he be able to see?

Cuizhu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, that's right, the Crown Princess is a sensible person, if you talk about it a few times, you will always improve."

The queen met all these girls of the right age, and selected a few top-notch ones, and announced them again every half a month. Temper or something, you have to get along for a long time to find out.During the period, she also called the princess a few times, after all, there are two of them who will become her daughter-in-law in the future.

The emperor announced his abdication during the Chinese New Year on the first morning after the Double Ninth Festival, and the prince will succeed him next year.All the ministers were in an uproar.Especially the prince, who just knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.He said in his mouth: "Please take back the royal father's order, how can the son take on this great responsibility." The prince burst into tears as he spoke, from immature handling of government affairs to being inseparable from the royal father.

The emperor was very moved, and he came down to help the prince up, saying: "My son has grown up too, I am very relieved!"

The prince lowered his head, on the surface he was embarrassed to hide his swollen eyes from crying, but in fact he was secretly happy.The empress had already disclosed this news to him in private. Of course, the empress did not say for sure that the emperor would abdicate, but only said that it was a critical moment recently, and she should always be vigilant.

crucial moment?Isn't that the last inspection?If the emperor wants to abdicate, the ministers must work hard to persuade him. If the prince wants to behave well, the emperor will really abdicate if he refuses. If he does not behave well, the emperor may listen to other people's persuasion.

Standing on the high platform, the emperor looked at the crown prince with his head bowed beside him, and a group of courtiers who had accompanied him for many years. He suddenly felt sad, and said, "Let's retreat from the court, and the senior scholars stay here."

The abdication of the emperor is not that simple, especially when the emperor is still alive, there is no precedent in this dynasty, but referring to the example of the previous dynasty, it was not very happy in the end. What should I do if I am nostalgic for power?In case the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have different political opinions, who should they listen to?There is also how to allocate positions in the imperial court. The crown prince must be promoted to his confidant, so how much position will be given up by the person promoted by the old emperor, this has to be discussed slowly.

However, since most of the princelings have been cut down, the last one is not a problem for the time being. He has to use the whole team of the old emperor.

It was relatively easy to decide first, such as next year's draft, Kai Enke, etc., and then Lin Ruhai also took on a glorious and arduous task, and the old emperor handed over the abdication edict to him to write.

What does this mean?At least the next ten years will be safe and sound, which is a symbol of a confidant, and Lin Ruhai has a good relationship with the prince, don't forget that he was demoted to the Imperial Academy because of the incident of the prince leading troops into the palace.

Everyone looked at Lin Ruhai with enthusiasm. He was probably about to die as a cabinet scholar.

Who else is in Master Lin's family?Two daughters, one son, everyone calculated that the eldest daughter is too high to climb, and she enters the palace every month, so it is estimated that she will leave it to the prince's son. The second daughter can fight for it, but the little girl seems to have just passed Ten years old, I have to wait another year, my son is only nine years old, heck, just wait.Moreover, Mr. Lin clearly stated that he would not marry a wife anymore, this is an iron bucket that cannot be inserted at all!

So starting from the Double Ninth Festival, Lin Ruhai started his career where he lived and ate in the palace.But he doesn't need to worry about the family, Wanyu takes good care of her, and now she is taking Daiyu with her, so Lin Ping's homework has not been missed. Every two days, his family will send the articles he wrote to Lin Ruhai for reading. Lin Ruhai can temporarily focus all his energy on the edict of abdication and the handover of the two emperors.

Two days after the news of the emperor's abdication was announced, the Lin family received many posts, all of which invited Daiyu to play, enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs, etc., but very few invited Wanyu and Lin Ping.

Everyone is not an idiot. Wanyu will be drafted next year, so it is not easy to go out at this time.As for Lin Ping, at the critical moment of studying, and according to the attitude of the Lin family, he will also be appointed to take the imperial examination in the future. If Lin Ruhai's only son is carried away, it will be a grudge.

Mr. Lin is definitely going to die as a cabinet scholar. If you offend him, do you want to be promoted or do you not want to be promoted?

But there are still people who don't have eyes, Wanyu looked at the two posts on the table and smiled a bit coldly.

One is from Jia's house, the other is from Xue's family, and they are both invited as guests of the family of three.

Both are representatives of declining families, and because of Wanyu's incitement, the decline is even faster than before.

For example, Wang Ziteng, a very promising member of the Wang family who was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces, still sits as a Beijing official in the capital, and he didn't even get his original position as the military governor of the Beijing camp. In short, there is no news.

There is also Jia Yuanchun, the biggest backer of the Jia family, who is currently the side concubine of the Seventh Prince's residence. The Seventh Prince's throne is hopeless, let alone Jia Yuanchun's virtuous concubine.

As for the Qin Keqing whom the Jia family married into the door, although Wanyu didn't know whose daughter she was, she was definitely not the prince's, so the Jia family was on the wrong team again.

Ever since Wanyu came out of the filial piety period, Jia's posts came very diligently. Even if Wanyu didn't go, it was still three posts a month. Later, Jia's mother's letter was added, Jia's mother dictated, Jia Baoyu wrote, what? The trivial matters in Jia's mansion, why did that sister miss you again, Baoyu went to school today, etc. Wanyu was a little annoyed to read it, so she wanted to reply directly: I have read it.However, it was strictly prohibited by Lin Ruhai.

"I have taught you so many times, why haven't you learned it yet? Why did the Empress fall in love with you!" Master Lin began to hate iron for steel again. He read and read the letter recently sent by Jia Mu. : "What about the earlier ones?"

Because of her father's reprimand, Wanyu was in a bad mood and turned her head to one side.It was Daiyu who answered, "It's all burned. My sister said that no one in our family has an affair with Jia Baoyu. Are you keeping his pen and paper and waiting for something to happen?"

Lin Ruhai's complexion now is as if he was drunk. Although his daughter's transparency in this kind of matter can save him from worrying about it, and he won't be plotted against by others, why is the swelling still so stuffy? His second daughter was taken away.

As soon as Wanyu saw Lin Ruhai's complexion was not good, she immediately rushed forward and said, "Father, I was wrong, I dare not do it again." Howling without tears.

Lin Ruhai took a few breaths, calmed down a bit, and said, "It's right to burn it." This is worthy of praise, "How did you reply to the letter earlier?"

Wanyu raised her head and looked at Lin Ruhai's face, "In short, I didn't mention anything other than asking grandma to be well. My cousins ​​and cousins ​​didn't mention any of them, and my younger brother wrote the letter."

Lin Ruhai nodded, "You're not too stupid." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Daiyu and said, "Your sister is a smart person, she's right. It's just...you need to think carefully about your words." Lin Ruhai He felt that he couldn't say the word "privacy", and there was no other word to replace it. Although this word was simple and crude, it was to the point, but... that's all, anyway, that's what it meant, and the Jia family dared to do it Come out, Wanyu dare not say anything.

Lin Ruhai felt that the white hairs on his head were showing a few strands of worry, and said, "I don't restrict you from going out as a father, but you can make up your own mind, and the maidservant can't leave you."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, my sister told me every time."

"There is one more." Wanyu handed over the post again, she was a little bit unwilling to be reprimanded by her father just now, "Post from the Xue family."

Sure enough, Lin Ruhai didn't answer the connection, and said directly: "Aren't you smart, what? Want to go?"

Wanyu shook her head, "I don't want to go, I just talk to my father."

Only then did Lin Ruhai laugh, and hummed, "I know what you mean. Forget it, the palace gave you two plates of dim sum today, and His Majesty asked me to bring them back."

This is to let the two of them go back to the room to have some snacks, Wanyu pulls Daiyu and salutes together, saying: "Father also rests earlier."

I don't usually see them being so filial, Lin Ruhai thinks it's better to be a little cold-faced sometimes.

When he was the only one left in the study, Lin Ruhai also looked at the two posts and sneered. Jia's family is still a serious relative. Although it's a bit embarrassing, everyone lives like this. From time to time, I come to pull relationships, and I haven't given up yet.

Lin Ruhai put the post aside, he wrote the emperor's abdication edict, so why bother to argue with poor relatives?Lin Ping couldn't delay his study, so he had better leave it to the housekeeper to arrange someone to write it.

The Jia family sent letters one after another, but there was no reply. Wanyu didn't have the slightest intention to come to the door. Even the reply letter written by Lin Ping at the beginning had changed notes.Mother Jia was very anxious, and kept complaining in front of Mrs. Wang, "This Wanyu is really real. There will be a draft next year, and she was called here for her own good."

In the current Jia Mansion, Mother Jia can only talk to Mrs. Wang if she wants to discuss matters. However, because Wang Ziteng has not been promoted, the only official in the Jia Mansion, Jia Zheng, is still in the Ministry of Industry, so the news they get is basically several. Hands, a lot of private goods have been added.

Mrs. Wang loves and hates Wanyu. She loves her and she will be promoted soon. She loves her for having a father who is in a high position and can last for a long time. She hates her because she lives better than her daughter and will marry soon. Also less than his own daughter.In the past, she couldn't see her, and wished the old lady would stay away from her, but now she has to speak well for her, Mrs. Wang's eyes darkened, "Wanyu also understands the old lady's thoughts, but as the end of the year approaches, She manages Lin's mansion up and down, so she won't be free."

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief. As Wanyu grew older and gained a lot of favor from the palace, she became less confident. For example, she was alienated from the three of them in the past few years. She wanted someone to comfort her, and Mrs. Wang's affirmative words gave her a lot of confidence.

"You're right." Mother Jia's attitude suddenly softened, "They will still come to pay New Year's greetings in the second day of junior high school, and it will be the same when we talk about it."

"Old lady, don't worry, my uncle said in front of the emperor that he would never marry a wife again. He has a deep affection for his sister. Why did he go away from the old lady?"

Sure enough, Jia Mu heard it in her heart, smiled and patted Mrs. Wang's hand, and said, "It's hard for him to live alone..." Jia Mu paused, and said, "Although I don't marry a wife, I do take a concubine." It's also possible, if... it's from the Jia family, Min'er must have a soul in the sky, and she will feel relieved when she sees someone taking care of the children she left behind."

Jia's mother's idea is not a day or two. When a girl gets married, her natal family originally wants to accompany a few housekeepers.Now that the previous companions are all dead, it makes sense to find two more.

The Jia family has more than ten or twenty offshoots in Beijing, including the ancestral home in Jinling. Could it be that a girl of the right age surnamed Jia can't be found?

Wanyu still doesn't know that her father is being missed again, but even if she knew, she would sneer, no wonder she is dreaming.

The Jia family misses Lin Ruhai, and many people in the palace miss Wanyu.

The royal family is the first family in the world, so all the good things have to be enjoyed first by their family. This "thing" includes the daughter's family of the right age. Unfortunately, Wanyu happens to be the most outstanding one in this batch. Many people have ideas.

Mrs. Yu Gui, she has a son who is as old as Wanyu, if Wanyu can marry Ruile, relying on Lin Ruhai's relationship, she will surely be able to turn around.But she also knows that this possibility is unlikely, especially after the analysis of the three of them in the past six months, the only variable before the crown prince is restored is Wanyu, so Wanyu caused her to fall into such a situation the culprit.Yu Guiren gritted her teeth for several days, but she still hated Wanyu more.Although marrying in would torture her, Yu Guiren would lose sleep even thinking about her face.

Next is the crown prince's side concubine Wu Shi. She has two sons. Although Kant is not his own, he has been raised by her side since he was three years old. His biological mother died again, so it can be considered that mother and child have one heart, not to mention that her own son is a little older Little, I haven't got the hang of it yet, but it doesn't prevent her from trying it out first.

"Master, it's time for us Kant to get married. After so many years, I finally didn't lose Sister Qi's entrustment." Wu wiped away tears.

After the crown prince was abolished, he didn’t have any titles on him. At that time, the Wu family called him Lord. Although the title of crown prince has come back now, the crown prince thinks this title is very good. It sounds kind and can remind him, so And so it continued.

The prince is now basically smiling all day long, and even tried to cover it up in front of the emperor, and when he returned to his place, he couldn't even close his mouth. "Don't worry, in next year's draft, we must choose a good one for him."

Wu smiled and snuggled into the prince's arms, and said, "Oh, I heard from Wanyu that she has a younger sister who is about the same age as our Kangyang, so I have to pay attention to him."

Unexpectedly, the prince froze suddenly after saying this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Lin Ruhai's two daughters are naturally good."

What does it mean?Subconsciously, Wu changed the topic, and said, "venison is in the kitchen today, do you want to try it?"

Normally, if he got this hint, the prince would have stayed happily, but today he stood up and said, "I have to read the scriptures with my father at night, so go to bed early." After saying that, the prince left.

The Wu family also accepted the smile, the two daughters of the Lin family... Could it be that the crown prince is jealous of Wanyu and has too much ideas?Or Lin Ruhai... Is the prince planning to kill the donkey?

The last one who misses Wanyu is the crown princess. If the crown prince becomes the emperor, her son will be the crown prince. However, the position of crown prince may not be very smooth. A bitter cry at the gate of Qing Palace made the prince cry.

When the prince was released, the sons who didn't care much at first were immediately divided into top and bottom. Kang Yang ranked first, and Kant ranked second. Besides, Kang Yang was 11 years old, and the princess's sense of crisis became more and more serious.So she called Kang He to the palace, and simply asked: "Do you want to marry Wanyu?"
