Chapter 41 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (41)

It took Lin Yuzhou a lot of effort to persuade the three crying relatives in his family. At the same time, the news that he was going to leave the capital flew out of Lin's mansion as if he had grown wings, and spread in the capital.

In order to win over Lin Ruhai, Emperor Jialong gave Lin Yuzhou an official position of inspecting imperial envoy. This official position is not high-grade, but it can represent the emperor to inspect the territory, so it has a lot of power. With this title, local officials dare not easily embarrass Lin Yuzhou .

On April [-]th, the list of people traveling with Lin Yuzhou came out. Except for the people he chose himself, Ji Shengyan sent two more, and another person was inserted by Emperor Jialong, Shao Long, the grandson of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Lin Yuzhou didn't know Shao Long well, but in his team, no matter who was in his team, he had to keep his own place.

There are still three days before Lin Yuzhou leaves Beijing. Jia Min put away his worries and started to pack his travel items for Lin Yuzhou. This time, Lin Yuzhou has many places to go and the time span is very long. All luggage is mainly light and practical.

Jia Min was busy, and so was Lin Daiyu. She brought catkins and the others to make some summer clothes for Lin Yuzhou. Even Mrs. Lin urged the old nuns in the mansion to hurry up and make a few pairs of comfortable shoes for Lin Yuzhou.

The family is busy, things are done quickly, everything is ready, and they are waiting for the departure on April [-]th.

In Xianning Palace in the imperial city, Concubine Ning put the folded clothes into a special box, looked up at Ji Zhao who was standing beside her silently, and asked, "Did you see their family when I went to Lin's this time?" girl?"

Ji Zhao frowned, looked at Concubine Ning and said, "Concubine Mother, I'm a foreigner."

Concubine Ning smiled lightly. Although she did not have the gorgeous beauty of Concubine Chen, the unique temperament exuding from her body was very attractive. Wearing a light blue dress, she looked as cold and noble as a fairy in the moon.

"Based on what I know about Jia Min, if she likes you, she will definitely let her daughter meet you."

Ji Zhao lowered his head, and a melodious piano sound appeared in his mind. He touched his hand unnaturally, thinking of the girl in the plum grove of Wenchang Temple that day, and the plum blossoms in that courtyard could not hide her color.

"You should be clear about the purpose of your father asking you to marry a girl from the Lin family." Concubine Ning asked the maid to carry down the wooden box containing the clothes, and then motioned Ji Zhao to sit down. She continued, "But I don't want you marry for a reason."

"Mother Concubine, I understand what you mean, I..." Ji Zhao paused, looked straight into Concubine Ning's eyes and said, "I want to marry her, nothing else."

This surprised Concubine Ning, she knew her son well, it was impossible for him to fall in love with a girl she had never seen before, did something happen somewhere she didn't know?

Ji Zhao turned his head, avoiding Concubine Ning's questioning eyes. Although the incident in Wenchang Temple was the fault of Ji Cong, if it's ugly, it might affect Lin Daiyu's reputation, and he won't mention it when he disappears.

Concubine Ning didn't force Ji Zhao, instead she smiled and said, "If you really have this thought, then you have to work hard. It's not easy to marry a girl from the Lin family. If you can't be in the eyes of Lord Lin, I'm afraid even the emperor's order will be useless."

Ji Zhao nodded, how difficult the road ahead was, he knew very well that Lin Ruhai was second, Lin Yuzhou with Ji Shengyan as his backer was the most difficult one, and he was ready to be tested, as long as he conquered Lin Yuzhou, everything would be easy up.

Seeing Ji Zhao's expression, Concubine Ning was a little relieved, and she finally said: "Go ahead, you will go to Jiangnan on April [-]th, this trip is very dangerous, you must take care of yourself."

Ji Zhao got up and said, "I will, mother and concubine, rest, I'm stepping down."

After Ji Zhao left, Yao Shi, Concubine Ning's personal nanny, stepped forward. She straightened Concubine Ning's hairpin and asked, "Your Majesty, how dangerous is it to go to the south of the Yangtze River to check the salt transportation? Why are you in no hurry?"

"What am I in a hurry for?" Concubine Ning leaned on the soft couch and smiled, "The crown prince will not let Zhao'er have an accident."

Mother Yao was taken aback, and said, "You trust His Royal Highness too much."

Concubine Ning smiled and didn't say much. The crown prince made an agreement with her a long time ago, and this agreement has a lot to do with Zhao'er.At present, all the prince's plans are proceeding in an orderly manner, but Zhao'er is far behind here. He is too rigid, not capable enough, and the structure is too small. If this continues, he will not be able to afford this agreement.

Concubine Ning looked outside the palace, her son wanted to marry Lin Daiyu, it was a good thing, sometimes, a sincere relationship, a woman worth waiting for, would become the biggest motivation for a man, making him transform into the best.

Putting Ji Zhao's matter aside for now, Concubine Ning asked: "Nurse Yao, what's new in the palace recently?" She doesn't participate in those fights, but she can't be blind, she still needs to know what she should know.

Nanny Yao took a step forward and replied in a low voice: "The emperor has been staying in Fengzao Palace for the past few days, and Imperial Concubine Chen has been grounded. After learning about this, she angrily smashed half of Guanju Palace."

"Hehe, there will be more troubles in the future, let's take a look." Concubine Ning raised her head and continued to ask, "What's going on with the queen?"

"The empress sent the second daughter of the Duke of Xiuguo to the East Palace. Unexpectedly, the second daughter was kicked out by the crown prince on the first day. The choice of the crown prince has not yet been decided. The empress is probably in a hurry."

Concubine Ning smiled, the choice of the crown princess cannot be decided, and their crown prince is not going to marry a woman at all.

"Your Majesty, among the princes, only the third prince's main concubine and side concubine have settled down. The maid heard that Chen Guifei had asked the emperor to accept a girl from Mrs. Lin's family as the third prince's side concubine, but the emperor directly refused. "

"Don't say this again." Concubine Ning's eyes became extremely sharp: "So as not to hurt the reputation of the Lin family girl."

Nanny Yao took a step back, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant knows."

Concubine Ning waved her hand: "Concubine Chen was forced to do such an unwise thing. If Jia Yuanchun only got an ordinary position, the Jia family would have to rely on her. Then we can force her to help, even if the youngest and the girl from the Lin family are only allowed to meet each other about the back house, they can achieve their goals."

"My lady said that it is a pity that the world is unpredictable. Although the concubine Xiande does not have much power, she has a high position. The current Jia family will not listen to the noble concubine Chen."

"That's right, taking the bottom line and then sitting on the mountain watching tigers fight, it's really worthy of..." Concubine Ning didn't continue, she turned her face away, the harem people are pitiful and hateful, everyone is the same.

Why did Imperial Concubine Chen directly ask the emperor?Apart from the fact that what happened to Jia Yuanchun exceeded her expectations, the bigger reason was that she had the confidence to do whatever she wanted too many times relying on the emperor's love for her, but it was a pity that she miscalculated the king's heart this time.

His appearance is easy to age, and his heart is easy to change, not to mention that he is still a hypocrite, living so comfortably, she probably forgot that the person was originally ruthless, and it was his own fault.

With a sigh of relief in her heart, Concubine Ning asked Nanny Yao to retreat, and she rubbed her forehead and leaned on the soft couch to sleep lightly. She had made a mistake in her life, and now she only hoped that her child would be happy.

On the early morning of April [-]th, after Lin Ruhai went to court early, Lin Yuzhou bid farewell to his family, and drove towards the capital pier in a carriage. Lin Cong walked with him, and the second housekeeper of the Lin Mansion drove the carriage.

At the destination, Lin Yuzhou saw Ji Geng circling Ruan Mingyi as soon as he got off the carriage.

Ruan Mingyi has become a celebrity in the capital since the Peach Blossom Banquet "flying to the sky", and even Emperor Jialong was thinking of poaching the wall.He was very annoyed by the attempts of various forces to try to win him over. When he learned of Lin Yuzhou's plan, he asked Ji Shengyan to protect Lin Yuzhou.

For Ji Shengyan, it's the same with or without guards, so he agreed.

Ruan Mingyi had good eyesight and knew who was the boss of the group. He turned sideways and skillfully got rid of Ji Geng, jumped to Lin Cong's side in a few vertical leaps, and took the luggage in his hand.

Ruan Mingyi carried his luggage and saluted Lin Yuzhou: "Master Lin."

Lin Yuzhou nodded and asked him, "Is everyone here?"

"No." Ji Geng came over, and answered first: "My fourth brother and I came first, and your friend Fu Jue has arrived before your eldest brother arrives."

"Then let's get on the boat first." Lin Yuzhou pulled Ji Geng who wanted to continue "harassing" Ruan Mingyi, "Don't worry, I will let you get what you want on this trip."

Ji Geng stopped in his tracks and said, "It's a deal!"

"As a teacher, I will never lie to you."

Ji Geng coughed, lowered his head and whispered in Lin Yuzhou's ear: "Thank you, sister-in-law." After speaking, he ran away.

Lin Yuzhou twitched his lips secretly. With this little talent and just a title, he would never beat someone up.

A huge official ship was docked beside the pier. Ji Zhao heard the movement and walked out of the cabin. He stood on the deck and ordered his followers to help Ruan Mingyi with his luggage.

Lin Yuzhou made a simple salute to him, and Ji Zhao returned the salute with a smile. His smile almost scared Ji Geng to death.

There was a wind blowing on the river, and it was still a bit cold in the morning in April. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they walked into the cabin together, ready to go back to their rooms and wait for others to gather.

The official ship is very large, with four upper and lower floors. Lin Yuzhou, Fu Jue and several people from the Hanlin Academy lived on the third floor, the three princes lived on the fourth floor, the rest lived on the second floor, and the guards of the imperial army and the servants lived on the first floor. layer.

Not long after Lin Yuzhou entered the room, Fu Jue came.

"Are the Fourth Prince and the First Prince planning to go to Jiangnan with such a big fanfare?" Fu Jue asked with a frown standing at the door.

Lin Yuzhou picked up the kettle on the table and bought a cup of tea for Fu Jue, "This boat is not something that anyone can take. It is a travel tool that our emperor specially rewarded the two princes."

Fu Jue's face was dark, and when he went to Jiangnan like this, didn't he tell those corrupt officials that the imperial envoy was coming?The emperor's thoughts are really hard to describe.

"Are we staying in Jiangnan?"

Lin Yuzhou shook his head: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. As long as the Zhen family is taken down, the Jiangnan matter will be resolved."

Fu Jue pointed to the direction of the imperial city and asked, "Will the emperor agree?"

Lin Yuzhou smiled and said nothing. Normally, he would not agree, but what if the Zhen family had something to do with Prince Yizhong?

Fu Jue couldn't understand what Lin Yuzhou meant, and was about to ask again, when a noisy voice came from his ear.

The two turned their heads and looked out of the window. At three o'clock in the morning, the eldest prince Ji Rong made a high-profile appearance in his guard of honor.
