[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 95
I didn’t think so when I read the novels of A Dream of Red Mansions before, but I just thought that the person who married Yingchun was not good, and that’s why I ended up in that situation.
But through Tu Jin's personal experience, Lin Liu discovered that Yingchun's marriage seemed so neglected from the beginning to the end——
Not only did they never ask the relatives' female relatives to help them see each other when they were engaged, they never invited guests to celebrate after the engagement, and even the three letters and six rituals that followed seemed to have disappeared.
The place of Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve, if there is any trouble, just pay attention, as long as it is not the news that the order to die must not be spread, otherwise there will be no news that will not be heard.
Coincidentally, ever since the old lady went to live in the temple, Jia Min had been paying attention to the news from the Rongguo Mansion because she was worried that something would happen in the Rongguo Mansion and the old lady had to come back from the temple.
but……
When Jia Min heard the news, she was equally bewildered, as if she had never heard of the engagement of the second girl from the Rongguo Mansion.
There has never been a reception, no name asking, no appointment, and no application period.
Even adding makeup...
Oh, yes.
Lin Liu looked at the people coming from Rongguo Mansion with a rather complicated expression.
She knew very well that if Yingchun could succeed in this marriage, she would be tortured to death by Sun Shaozu's Zhongshan wolf in less than a year after her marriage.
Lin Liu wanted to rescue him, but he was powerless——
No one else mentioned this marriage, but the old lady and Jia Zheng did not agree with it from the very beginning.But at this time, we pay attention to the phrase "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker". Even the old lady and Jia Zheng can't stop Jia She from marrying Yingchun to Sun Shaozu.
Lin Liu, as a junior in a relative's family, naturally had no choice.
Thinking of Aunt Li who was domineering and domineering back then, Lin Liu was still a little bit embarrassed——
I don't know that Aunt Li knows that her only daughter is treated like this by Jia She, and when Jia She comes down to the underworld, she doesn't know if she will be strangled to death by her.
If Lin Liu had gotten the news when she found out that Jia She had intended to marry Sun Shaozu for Yingchun, she might have helped think of other ways to see if Yingchun could get rid of this marriage.
But after learning that Yingchun started the marriage, the whole engagement process was neglected to such an extent, and that bastard Jia She had not yet divorced, Lin Liu also understood that even if she exposed Sun Shaozu's behavior at home Come out, I'm afraid Jia Amnesty will still let Yingchun marry.
In this case, it would be less appropriate to expose what Sun Shaozu was doing at home.
Because Yingchun is destined to marry, and if her husband's reputation is ruined at this time, Yingchun will only be laughed at.
But after thinking about it, Lin Liu still felt that Yingchun should be reminded——
At least, she had to be mentally prepared.Maybe after learning about Sun Shaozu's personality, Yingchun will make some preparations to guard against Sun Shaozu before getting married?
So when Jia Min came to add makeup for Yingchun, Lin Liu also asked that she wanted to go with her.
Jia Min hesitated: "Rongguo Mansion is getting worse and worse now, what did you do in the past?"
In the past, Lin Ruhai didn't want his children to go to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Min didn't say anything, but he actually cared about it; but now, even Jia Min regards Rongguo Mansion without the old lady as a scourge, and he doesn't want to go there. Don't tell Lin Liu to pass by.
Lin Liu smiled: "I met Yingchun a few times when I was young, and now that she is getting married, I should always meet her and talk to her."
When Jia Min heard this, she recalled that when the Rongguo Mansion was not completely ruined, she often brought a few children to the door, and the little Qilin did play with Yingchun a few times.
After hesitating, he finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that her sister was about to pass, Daiyu was naturally not to be left behind, so she wanted to go with her.
Jia Min refused, but Daiyu said clearly: "Because your sister has been with Sister Yingchun several times, you agree that she will come to your house to add makeup for Cousin Yingchun; I spend more time with Cousin Yingchun than my sister spends with Cousin Yingchun. They wrote a lot, and they even wrote poems together, and the relationship is closer than my sister and cousin Yingchun."
Jia Min was stunned for a moment, looking at the still childish Daiyu, a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Daiyu was really thinking about Yingchun, Lin Liu persuaded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely keep her by my side when I go to Rongguo Mansion, and I won't let her go to other places easily. Don't worry, other Not to mention, at least safety is guaranteed.”
Seeing that Jia Min was still not at ease, Lin Liu dragged Liang Xia to her face, "Mother, have you forgotten? The maids around me all have special skills. With Liang Xia around, no one else can get close to us. Do not worry."
The four maids of Bichun were picked out by Jia Min herself. She has also seen her growth over the years. Liang Xia has been by Lin Liu's side all the time. It was a big impression, but Jin Qiu, who studied medicine, and Nuan Dong, who met herbal diet, made outstanding achievements repeatedly, and she also left her name here.
Thinking of the other two maids, Jia Min trusted Liang Xia a little, so she nodded in agreement.
The mother and daughter got into the carriage and went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
Yingchun is just an unfavored concubine daughter, her biological mother is long gone, and her aunt doesn't value her as a daughter at all.So there were not many people who added makeup to her today. When Jia Min and the others arrived, the others had already finished adding makeup and left.
Yingchun sat alone in front of the dressing table, her eyes were numb, and she was not at all happy as a newlywed.
Jia Min was really not familiar with this niece, so after adding makeup, she left directly to find the old lady, leaving the space for Yingchun and her two daughters.
The two sisters each gave a set of hair masks, then looked at each other, and sat directly beside Yingchun.
Yingchun smiled and looked back at the two of them: "I didn't know you would come here today. I only have some old tea leaves here. It's really not the way to treat guests, so I won't show them." After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Xiuju , "Go to your wife's room and ask for some good tea, she will definitely give it to you."
Xiuju glanced at Lin and Liu, nodded and retreated.
After the people left, Yingchun lowered her head and fell silent.
This is the normal state of Yingchun, but in the eyes of Lin Liu today, it is particularly unpleasant.
She wanted to speak out, but the relationship between the two of them was really not that close, and it was indeed not to the extent of saying those private words.
So he turned to look at Daiyu, asking her to break the deadlock.
Daiyu smiled, got up and took Yingchun's hand: "Second sister is getting married tomorrow, it's a happy event, why don't you see a smile on her face? But the makeup gift we gave doesn't suit Second sister's liking?"
Yingchun hurriedly shook her head and denied: "That's not the case. You can see that the gift you sent today was thoughtful. I like it before it's too late. How could I be dissatisfied? I'm just used to being silent, and I don't know how to agree with you because of my clumsy tongue. When you talk, you are always worried that you will offend you unintentionally by saying the wrong thing.”
Although they rarely meet the Lin family, whether it is Jia Min, sisters Lin Liu, and Daiyu, they are all very gentle people, and they treat their brothers and sisters equally without any distinction.This kind of "equal treatment" is a kind of kindness, and Yingchun cherishes it very much.
Daiyu smiled: "Then what is the second sister worrying about? Can you tell us? These three cobblers can be as good as Zhuge Liang. The three of us have been familiar with poetry and books since we were young, so we won't even be a cobbler. Can't you compare it? If the second sister speaks out the troubles in her heart, maybe we two sisters can give you an idea."
After hearing this, Yingchun was a little moved, but after thinking about it a few times, she still felt that her family's ugliness should not be publicized, and she dared not tell the Lin family sisters the reason for her marriage.
Seeing that she had already mentioned this point, Daiyu still didn't speak, she could only turn her head and shrugged at Lin Liu, expressing that she was helpless.
Seeing Yingchun's reluctance, Lin Liu hesitated and decided to go straight to the point: "Is Yingchun worrying about her marriage? I didn't want to come here today, but I just heard something and felt the need to tell you, so I came here." I will come with my mother."
Yingchun was taken aback, then looked up at Lin Liu: "What's the matter?"
Lin Liu turned to look at Daiyu, motioning for her to leave.
Daiyu wrinkled her nose and shook her head: "No, I also want to know what's going on. I'm also worried about my second sister. My sister can't exclude me."
Lin Liu originally didn't want Daiyu to hear these nasty things, but after thinking about it, Daiyu is also fourteen, and according to ancient standards, she has reached the age where she can think about getting married. It's also good, so I didn't say anything more.
She patted Daiyu's hand, turned her head to look at Yingchun and said, "It's about the person you are going to marry. I also didn't intend to know about it. I didn't intend to provoke the relationship between your husband and wife. I just want you to make a marriage in advance." Be prepared so that you don’t get married without knowing anything.”
Yingchun heard the seriousness of Lin Liu's tone, her heart skipped a beat, her expression was a little solemn: "I'm not that kind of ungrateful person, please also ask Sister Lin to tell me what you know, and I will definitely repay you when I have the opportunity in the future."
"I don't want to use such a serious word as 'repay'." Lin Liu laughed, and then said seriously, "I heard people say that Sun Shaozu's temper is comparable to that of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son in the Ning Mansion next door, even better than the two of them. People have to go a little further."
With just this one sentence, Yingchun's face turned pale, almost without a trace of blood.
Lin Liu couldn't bear it, but it was better to learn the truth before she got married than to be caught off guard after she found out the truth after marriage.
So she slightly opened her eyes, not looking at Yingchun's expression, "I heard that this person is not clear to the woman in the house, whether the other party is willing or not, as long as it is a woman, as long as she is born with two points of beauty, she will not let her go All the women in Sun's family have been "addicted and promiscuous" by him."
"If you marry into the Sun's family, if you don't plan to let Xiuju and other maids be the housekeepers, you should be more careful."
After hearing this, Yingchun's body shook slightly, and she almost passed over on the spot.
Lin Liu quickly grabbed him, and only after she regained consciousness did she let go, and sat back in her seat.
Not only Yingchun, but even Daiyu, who heard this, was pale at the moment, obviously frightened.
Lin Liu grabbed Daiyu's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Just now I told you not to let you listen, but you insist on listening, how about now."
Daiyu grabbed Lin Liu's hand with her backhand, but she relaxed in a strange way——
She is still different from her second sister. Her parents love her, her sister cares, and there are a group of brothers who treat her like a treasure.Even if she gets married, the other party must have checked carefully, and there will be no major problems with her character; even if something goes wrong, the family will definitely help her get justice.
On the contrary, it is to welcome the spring...
Daiyu looked at Yingchun distressedly, but didn't know what to say.
I always feel that at this time, everything she says is wrong.
Yingchun sat in her seat for a while, and then regained her expressionless expression.
Just when Lin Liu and Daiyu were worried about her, Yingchun got up and made a big gift to Lin Liu: "Thank you cousin for telling me about this today, otherwise if I get married without knowing anything, I don’t know what it will be like to be bullied.”
Lin Liu quickly helped him up.
Yingchun sat back in her seat, and tears rolled down like a curtain: "I thought my father sent me out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion like a cargo, which was already his limit for me, but I didn't expect that there was something behind this." So much filth."
As he spoke, he covered his face with a veil and wept as if he had suffered great pain.
When she had cried enough, she turned her head to tidy up her appearance, and then looked up at Lin Liu: "Let Cousin Lin see the joke, I am not usually an excitable person, but today is too..."
As she spoke, she turned her head away and wiped away the falling tears.
Lin and Liu felt distressed, but they didn't know what to do for her.
But Yingchun sorted out her mood, smiled at the two of them: "Since I know about this, I will definitely make preparations in the future. Cousin Lin, cousin Lin, don't have to worry about me."
Lin Liu was actually not at ease. After all, in the original book, Yingchun only married into Sun's family for one year and then passed away. It is really hard to believe that she could have a good life in Sun's family after she knew it in advance.
After Lin Liu hesitated, she turned her head to look at Liang Xia: "Liang Xia is the big maid by my side, she practices martial arts, even a man with average martial arts skills is no match for her, otherwise, I will lend you Liang Xia for a while." Time? So you have more time to plan?"
I heard that people who are good at chess are good at strategy, although Yingchun can't see this at all, but maybe she never had the chance to play it?
If she was given a little more time, Yingchun might be able to keep herself, at least survive?
Yingchun glanced at Liang Xia, smiled and shook her head: "Liang Xia has been with my cousin for many years, and she has a deep relationship with her. Why did she follow me to the tiger and wolf den? I have other ways. Cousin really doesn't have to worry about me."
Just at this time, Xiuju came back with a box of tea and knocked on the door.
The three of them shut up for a moment and looked at the past together.
Yingchun raised her hand to let people in, and personally cooked a pot of tea for Lin Liu and Daiyu.After that, she never let Xiuju leave her house again, and she didn't mind bringing up the matter of the Sun family in front of her, even though Xiuju's face turned pale when she heard it, Yingchun didn't respond.
It wasn't until Lin and Liu stayed here for too long that Yingchun had to leave, and then Yingchun emphasized again and again that she would definitely be able to protect herself.
Seeing this, Lin Liu naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave with Daiyu.
On the way, Daiyu looked at Lin Liu worriedly: "Is my sister angry with my second sister?"
Lin Liu was taken aback: "Why are you angry?"
Daiyu tilted her head and looked at her: "Because the second sister doesn't accept her kindness. According to the situation of the Sun family, it is the best way for the elder sister to lend Liang Xia of martial arts to the second sister."
Lin Liu smiled: "Life is Yingchun's own. She can live it as she likes. How can we forcibly interfere? Besides, I see Yingchun's expression, although she is sad, she seems to have a plan in her mind and does not seem to be strong. Maybe, she really has some trump card." Didn't take it out?"
The two looked at each other. Seeing Lin Liu's calm eyes, Daiyu couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, "Sister is really generous. If I were to encounter such a situation, I might be able to quarrel with my second sister."
Lin Liu shook her head: "I can't help much at all."
After all, her identity is only a relative, even if she wants to help, she can't intervene.On the contrary, Yingchun had her own idea, and the effect would be better.
The two sisters chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Rongqing Hall.
The old lady came back this time only to attend the granddaughter's banquet, and did not bring back much. Obviously, when the marriage is over, she will leave Rongguo Mansion, a place of right and wrong.
After lunch, the mother and daughter left Rongguo Mansion.
The next day, he came to the wedding banquet again and saw Baoyu get married with Yingchun on his back, and then returned to the Lin family.
In this way, this marriage is completely over.
Lin Liu was still thinking about what Yingchun said, so he deliberately asked people to pay attention to the situation of Sun's family. He thought it would be a long-term task, but he didn't expect Lin Liu to get the news on the day Yingchun returned home.
On the day of Yingchun, he took Sun Shaozu back to Rongguo Mansion. There was nothing unusual when he entered the door, and the performance of the husband and wife was considered "loving".
But after the husband and wife came out of Rongguo Mansion, the situation became not so normal——
When Yingchun left, she even took away a group of tall and burly guards with more than 50 people from the Rongguo Mansion.
These people followed behind the Sun family's carriage, and the sound of tidy running was mixed with the rumbling sound of the carriage wheels, but it attracted a lot of attention for them.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital.
Everyone knew that on the day the second girl of Rongguo Mansion returned home, she brought back a team of strong bodyguards from her mother's house, and she didn't know what she wanted to do.
Or in other words, she was guarding against something.
Only now did Lin Liu realize that the reason for Yingchun to do this was: firstly, it could protect herself and deter Sun Shaozu from taking action against the people around him; People, the Sun family has a situation, she has to take people back to her husband's house to protect herself.
Now that this is the case, even if Sun Shaozu originally wanted to do something to Yingchun, he would be timid and afraid to do too much.
Otherwise, if something happens to Yingchun, everyone will know that it is because of Sun Shaozu.
No matter how generous Sun Shaozu is, it is impossible for him not to care about his image outside.
The practice of welcoming the spring can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The only thing that puzzled Lin Liu was why the Rongguo Mansion let Yingchun take so many guards back to Sun's house——
It is not surprising that there are so many guards who do not seem to be easily messed with when Rongguo Mansion started as a military general. What is surprising is Jia She's attitude.Based on his previous performance of not caring about Yingchun's life and death, Lin Liu could hardly imagine the circumstances under which he would specially recruit so many guards to protect Yingchun.
And this question was answered on the day of Yingchun's visit.
Yingchun came to thank Lin Liu for telling her about Sun Shaozu's situation, otherwise, after she got married, she might not see Jia Amnesty at all, so naturally she would not be able to prepare in advance and arrange a guarantee for herself.
Yingchun looked at Lin Liu and sighed slightly: "I don't know if Sister Lin still remembers my biological mother? It's that Aunt Li who is domineering and doesn't even look down on Lian's second brother."
Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "I am deeply impressed."
After all, it was the first time she saw a concubine who was so proud of her since she traveled to ancient times.And when she came into contact with Aunt Li, her arrogant and lively eyebrows also left a certain impression on her.
Yingchun nodded: "I can get my father's help this time because of my mother."
Lin Liu: "...???"
She didn't understand, Aunt Li had been dead for more than ten years, how could she still have the opportunity to provide shelter for her daughter?
Yingchun pursed her lips, and squeezed out a smile for a while: "My mother didn't die of illness, but was murdered. It's just because of her low status, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion only thought that she was poisoned because of the fight between concubines. Didn't check it out."
"But they didn't know that my mother was killed because she discovered a secret that no one knew except the murderer."
Lin Liu opened his eyes wide: "Secret?"
Yingchun sighed and nodded: "Because my mother wants to be my father's main wife, she has been working hard for it. Not only does she treat herself as the main wife in the first house, she always pays special attention to the second wife and others, sometimes He will even quarrel with the second wife."
"At that time, my mother made a mess of the whole Rongguo Mansion, but my father not only watched it coldly, but also praised it, so my mother became more and more arrogant."
"The housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion has always been the second wife, and even the big house's Yueyin is under the control of the second wife. Once my mother quarreled with the second wife because she dared to scold and say anything, but let her The second wife was very angry. Unexpectedly, in the second month, the monthly silver of everyone in the big house was deducted."
"My mother went to look for it, but who would have bumped into it..."
Yingchun pursed her lips, seeming to think of something bad, "I happened to bump into the second wife and Zhou Rui's family mentioning Ma Daopo, and said that in order to tie Ma Daopo to her boat, she decided to recognize Ma Daopo after the baby in her belly was born. In order to send the name of the godmother."
"During the conversation, the two of them mentioned Ma Daopo's ability, and as they talked, they mentioned Brother Hu who drowned back then."
Lin Liu suddenly thought that Jia Hu was not drowning, but being cursed.
Sure enough, Yingchun immediately said: "My mother was very much loved by my father at that time. Naturally, I heard my father mention Brother Hu's excellence and the real cause of death back then. She immediately realized that this Ma Daopo was probably the one who cursed Brother Hu back then. Dimpled people."
"My mother is very aware of my father's feelings for Big Brother Hu, so I immediately wanted to go back and tell my father about it. However, there are people coming and going in Rongxi Hall, and she just happened to run into a gap when no one was there before she was about to leave. People from Rongxi Hall came back one after another and told her the fact that she was eavesdropping in the yard."
"My wife directly asked her confidant to 'send' my mother back to the room, and drugged my mother on the way. She died of the poison shortly after returning to the room, and she didn't have time to leave a word."
Lin Liu looked at Yingchun: "Then how did you know about this?"
Yingchun bowed her head: "My mother and my nanny grew up together as children, and they have a perfect understanding with each other. Even just meeting each other is enough for my mother to pass on the news she knows. It's just that after my mother died, the nanny did it for me. For the sake of his own safety, he also felt that his father could not avenge his mother, so he never told his father about it."
"Your nanny..."
"This secret was told to me by my nanny when I was a child. She said that no matter what, I would never forget my mother's feud. Later, I tried to send her out of Rongguo Mansion and let her live on her own."
Yingchun lived in Rongxi Hall as long as she could remember. Although she was not well taken care of, the second wife did not treat her badly.So at the beginning, Yingchun didn't intend to tell Jia Amnesty the news.
But after knowing Sun Shaozu's true nature, Yingchun immediately went to find his wife, hoping that she could help him, but unfortunately the final result was...
Mrs. Wang prevaricated her by saying "my son, this is your life". Not only was she unwilling to stand up for her, she was also unwilling to give her any help.
Yingchun refused to accept her fate, so she approached Jia She.
Then there was the follow-up, the eye-catching act of taking away dozens of strong men on the day of returning home.
Although there had been speculations for a long time, Lin Liu was still a little surprised after learning that Jia Hu's death was actually caused by Mrs. Wang.After all, adults can fight as much as they want, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when children are involved.
Even if the black hand behind the scenes is the Supreme Emperor, Mrs. Wang is also a direct accomplice.
Jia Amnesty was a bastard at first, before he only knew that his eldest son Jia Hu was murdered by the Supreme Emperor, for the sake of the whole family's life, he didn't dare to delve into the matter, but now he knows that the person who killed him has been by his side all the time, it is his younger brother and sister , I don't know what will happen to Jia Amnesty.
Seeing that Lin Liu was worried, Yingchun said with a smile, "My father regretted it when he found out about it. He kept complaining that Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were cursed at the beginning. If he had listened to Jia Zheng's words and buried them alive in a coffin, wouldn't it be Isn’t it revenge? It can be seen that God is helping him, but he didn’t understand God’s deep meaning and saved people.”
Lin Liu: "..."
Although it sounds absurd, but under the circumstances at that time, if Jia Amnesty had the same intention as Jia Zheng and wanted to collect him, I am afraid that the old lady would not be able to hold back her two sons.
But who let Jia Amnesty choose to continue working hard to save people?
Yingchun explained: "The master said that he would treat his body with his own way. I'm afraid he will go to Ma Daopo."
After that, as Yingchun expected, not long after this meeting, news came from Rongguo Mansion, saying that Mrs. Wang suddenly went crazy like last time when she was talking with her natal sister-in-law Wang Yushi, and she passed out not long after. On the ground, Wang Yushi was frightened enough.
But this time, no monk came to save people together.
Just like more than ten years ago, when Jia Hu was cursed by someone, no monk came to save him.
Mrs. Wang, who had always relied on the Wang family's arrogance, just disappeared, easily like a dream, without any sense of reality at all.
But for Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang's death is a more important event than Jia Jing's death——
Because after Mrs. Wang passed away, the connection between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family was severed.
There were originally two daughters of the Wang family in Rongguo Mansion, but since she got married, Wang Xifeng followed Jia Lian to the south of the Yangtze River, and could not return to the capital once a year; only Mrs. Wang, who has always been rooted in Rongguo Mansion, took on the important task of connecting the Jia family with the Wang family. .
But now, she is gone.
The Jia family was fine, although they were a little uncomfortable with the life after Mrs. Wang's death, but soon after the housekeeping power was handed over to Mrs. Xing, life in Rongguo Mansion returned to the right track.
On the contrary, after Wang Ziteng heard the news, he immediately flew into a rage, clamoring that he must find out the real culprit who killed his sister and give her sister justice.
Just when everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was in danger, Jia Amnesty approached the Wang family, but he didn't know what he had said to Wang Ziteng, but the matter ended in nothing, and the Wang family never mentioned any more justice for Mrs. Wang if.
Lin Liu was still wondering what exactly Jia She said to Wang Ziteng that made him so scrupulous that he didn't even investigate the truth about Mrs. Wang's death.
Unexpectedly, within two months, news came that Wang Ziteng married a daughter.
The family she married was still a member of the royal family.
Now Lin Liu understands why Wang Ziteng is unwilling to investigate the murderer who killed Mrs. Wang, bring him to justice, and seek justice——
Because he already knew who the murderer was, but he was worried that his daughter would be implicated by Mrs. Wang's murder of Jia Hu.
A dead sister, and the daughter who is about to marry into the royal clan, of course Wang Ziteng chose his daughter without hesitation.
After all, it was only karma that Mrs. Wang would end up like this.
After all, Mrs. Wang's death did not cause much disturbance in the capital.
Not long after this incident, news came from Jiangnan that the twins, Maoshou and Yingzhu, had participated in the provincial examination together and successfully passed the Juren examination.
However, there have been some changes in the rankings compared to the last exam: Crane Year was still the first in the exam, but Maoshou was second, Lu Sui fell directly to the third place, and Yingzhu climbed to the fourth place.
Soon after, examination papers from all over the country were rushed to the capital for archiving.
The three children in Lin Ruhai's family took the exam, so they naturally wanted to know why they were ranked in this way.
Although he wasn't surprised by this result, he still wanted to know how bad Lu Sui was.
It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't expect that it wasn't that the age of the deer was worse than that of the cat, but that the twins took advantage of the opportunity in order to get better grades in the exam——
It's not cheating, but the writing style of the two brothers has changed from the previous concise and generous style, and has become flamboyant and flashy. If the names of the test papers are indeed twins, there is no possibility of substitute exams in the test room, and he will doubt the two test papers Who is the owner of.
On the other hand, Maoshou and Yingzhu's answers are plain and meaningful, which is indeed their previous style and level.
According to Lin Ruhai's standards, the twins' answers are definitely not as good as Mao Shou and Ying Zhu's.In other words, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, the ranking of these four children should be Maoshou, Yingzhu, Henian, and Lushou.
Lu Shou didn't even make it to the top three!
Lin Ruhai inquired again, and was not surprised to learn that the examiner in Gusu this time was a top scholar, not only his own writing style, but also his favorite writing style is the type with gorgeous rhetoric and neat rhythm.
Look at the sudden change in the style of the twins' articles, and then look at the consistent article style of Mao Shou and Yingzhu.
Lin Ruhai: "..." What else do you not understand?
In front of the three female relatives in the family, Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "After the exam, the children should go back to Beijing, right?"
But through Tu Jin's personal experience, Lin Liu discovered that Yingchun's marriage seemed so neglected from the beginning to the end——
Not only did they never ask the relatives' female relatives to help them see each other when they were engaged, they never invited guests to celebrate after the engagement, and even the three letters and six rituals that followed seemed to have disappeared.
The place of Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve, if there is any trouble, just pay attention, as long as it is not the news that the order to die must not be spread, otherwise there will be no news that will not be heard.
Coincidentally, ever since the old lady went to live in the temple, Jia Min had been paying attention to the news from the Rongguo Mansion because she was worried that something would happen in the Rongguo Mansion and the old lady had to come back from the temple.
but……
When Jia Min heard the news, she was equally bewildered, as if she had never heard of the engagement of the second girl from the Rongguo Mansion.
There has never been a reception, no name asking, no appointment, and no application period.
Even adding makeup...
Oh, yes.
Lin Liu looked at the people coming from Rongguo Mansion with a rather complicated expression.
She knew very well that if Yingchun could succeed in this marriage, she would be tortured to death by Sun Shaozu's Zhongshan wolf in less than a year after her marriage.
Lin Liu wanted to rescue him, but he was powerless——
No one else mentioned this marriage, but the old lady and Jia Zheng did not agree with it from the very beginning.But at this time, we pay attention to the phrase "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker". Even the old lady and Jia Zheng can't stop Jia She from marrying Yingchun to Sun Shaozu.
Lin Liu, as a junior in a relative's family, naturally had no choice.
Thinking of Aunt Li who was domineering and domineering back then, Lin Liu was still a little bit embarrassed——
I don't know that Aunt Li knows that her only daughter is treated like this by Jia She, and when Jia She comes down to the underworld, she doesn't know if she will be strangled to death by her.
If Lin Liu had gotten the news when she found out that Jia She had intended to marry Sun Shaozu for Yingchun, she might have helped think of other ways to see if Yingchun could get rid of this marriage.
But after learning that Yingchun started the marriage, the whole engagement process was neglected to such an extent, and that bastard Jia She had not yet divorced, Lin Liu also understood that even if she exposed Sun Shaozu's behavior at home Come out, I'm afraid Jia Amnesty will still let Yingchun marry.
In this case, it would be less appropriate to expose what Sun Shaozu was doing at home.
Because Yingchun is destined to marry, and if her husband's reputation is ruined at this time, Yingchun will only be laughed at.
But after thinking about it, Lin Liu still felt that Yingchun should be reminded——
At least, she had to be mentally prepared.Maybe after learning about Sun Shaozu's personality, Yingchun will make some preparations to guard against Sun Shaozu before getting married?
So when Jia Min came to add makeup for Yingchun, Lin Liu also asked that she wanted to go with her.
Jia Min hesitated: "Rongguo Mansion is getting worse and worse now, what did you do in the past?"
In the past, Lin Ruhai didn't want his children to go to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Min didn't say anything, but he actually cared about it; but now, even Jia Min regards Rongguo Mansion without the old lady as a scourge, and he doesn't want to go there. Don't tell Lin Liu to pass by.
Lin Liu smiled: "I met Yingchun a few times when I was young, and now that she is getting married, I should always meet her and talk to her."
When Jia Min heard this, she recalled that when the Rongguo Mansion was not completely ruined, she often brought a few children to the door, and the little Qilin did play with Yingchun a few times.
After hesitating, he finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that her sister was about to pass, Daiyu was naturally not to be left behind, so she wanted to go with her.
Jia Min refused, but Daiyu said clearly: "Because your sister has been with Sister Yingchun several times, you agree that she will come to your house to add makeup for Cousin Yingchun; I spend more time with Cousin Yingchun than my sister spends with Cousin Yingchun. They wrote a lot, and they even wrote poems together, and the relationship is closer than my sister and cousin Yingchun."
Jia Min was stunned for a moment, looking at the still childish Daiyu, a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Daiyu was really thinking about Yingchun, Lin Liu persuaded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely keep her by my side when I go to Rongguo Mansion, and I won't let her go to other places easily. Don't worry, other Not to mention, at least safety is guaranteed.”
Seeing that Jia Min was still not at ease, Lin Liu dragged Liang Xia to her face, "Mother, have you forgotten? The maids around me all have special skills. With Liang Xia around, no one else can get close to us. Do not worry."
The four maids of Bichun were picked out by Jia Min herself. She has also seen her growth over the years. Liang Xia has been by Lin Liu's side all the time. It was a big impression, but Jin Qiu, who studied medicine, and Nuan Dong, who met herbal diet, made outstanding achievements repeatedly, and she also left her name here.
Thinking of the other two maids, Jia Min trusted Liang Xia a little, so she nodded in agreement.
The mother and daughter got into the carriage and went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
Yingchun is just an unfavored concubine daughter, her biological mother is long gone, and her aunt doesn't value her as a daughter at all.So there were not many people who added makeup to her today. When Jia Min and the others arrived, the others had already finished adding makeup and left.
Yingchun sat alone in front of the dressing table, her eyes were numb, and she was not at all happy as a newlywed.
Jia Min was really not familiar with this niece, so after adding makeup, she left directly to find the old lady, leaving the space for Yingchun and her two daughters.
The two sisters each gave a set of hair masks, then looked at each other, and sat directly beside Yingchun.
Yingchun smiled and looked back at the two of them: "I didn't know you would come here today. I only have some old tea leaves here. It's really not the way to treat guests, so I won't show them." After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Xiuju , "Go to your wife's room and ask for some good tea, she will definitely give it to you."
Xiuju glanced at Lin and Liu, nodded and retreated.
After the people left, Yingchun lowered her head and fell silent.
This is the normal state of Yingchun, but in the eyes of Lin Liu today, it is particularly unpleasant.
She wanted to speak out, but the relationship between the two of them was really not that close, and it was indeed not to the extent of saying those private words.
So he turned to look at Daiyu, asking her to break the deadlock.
Daiyu smiled, got up and took Yingchun's hand: "Second sister is getting married tomorrow, it's a happy event, why don't you see a smile on her face? But the makeup gift we gave doesn't suit Second sister's liking?"
Yingchun hurriedly shook her head and denied: "That's not the case. You can see that the gift you sent today was thoughtful. I like it before it's too late. How could I be dissatisfied? I'm just used to being silent, and I don't know how to agree with you because of my clumsy tongue. When you talk, you are always worried that you will offend you unintentionally by saying the wrong thing.”
Although they rarely meet the Lin family, whether it is Jia Min, sisters Lin Liu, and Daiyu, they are all very gentle people, and they treat their brothers and sisters equally without any distinction.This kind of "equal treatment" is a kind of kindness, and Yingchun cherishes it very much.
Daiyu smiled: "Then what is the second sister worrying about? Can you tell us? These three cobblers can be as good as Zhuge Liang. The three of us have been familiar with poetry and books since we were young, so we won't even be a cobbler. Can't you compare it? If the second sister speaks out the troubles in her heart, maybe we two sisters can give you an idea."
After hearing this, Yingchun was a little moved, but after thinking about it a few times, she still felt that her family's ugliness should not be publicized, and she dared not tell the Lin family sisters the reason for her marriage.
Seeing that she had already mentioned this point, Daiyu still didn't speak, she could only turn her head and shrugged at Lin Liu, expressing that she was helpless.
Seeing Yingchun's reluctance, Lin Liu hesitated and decided to go straight to the point: "Is Yingchun worrying about her marriage? I didn't want to come here today, but I just heard something and felt the need to tell you, so I came here." I will come with my mother."
Yingchun was taken aback, then looked up at Lin Liu: "What's the matter?"
Lin Liu turned to look at Daiyu, motioning for her to leave.
Daiyu wrinkled her nose and shook her head: "No, I also want to know what's going on. I'm also worried about my second sister. My sister can't exclude me."
Lin Liu originally didn't want Daiyu to hear these nasty things, but after thinking about it, Daiyu is also fourteen, and according to ancient standards, she has reached the age where she can think about getting married. It's also good, so I didn't say anything more.
She patted Daiyu's hand, turned her head to look at Yingchun and said, "It's about the person you are going to marry. I also didn't intend to know about it. I didn't intend to provoke the relationship between your husband and wife. I just want you to make a marriage in advance." Be prepared so that you don’t get married without knowing anything.”
Yingchun heard the seriousness of Lin Liu's tone, her heart skipped a beat, her expression was a little solemn: "I'm not that kind of ungrateful person, please also ask Sister Lin to tell me what you know, and I will definitely repay you when I have the opportunity in the future."
"I don't want to use such a serious word as 'repay'." Lin Liu laughed, and then said seriously, "I heard people say that Sun Shaozu's temper is comparable to that of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son in the Ning Mansion next door, even better than the two of them. People have to go a little further."
With just this one sentence, Yingchun's face turned pale, almost without a trace of blood.
Lin Liu couldn't bear it, but it was better to learn the truth before she got married than to be caught off guard after she found out the truth after marriage.
So she slightly opened her eyes, not looking at Yingchun's expression, "I heard that this person is not clear to the woman in the house, whether the other party is willing or not, as long as it is a woman, as long as she is born with two points of beauty, she will not let her go All the women in Sun's family have been "addicted and promiscuous" by him."
"If you marry into the Sun's family, if you don't plan to let Xiuju and other maids be the housekeepers, you should be more careful."
After hearing this, Yingchun's body shook slightly, and she almost passed over on the spot.
Lin Liu quickly grabbed him, and only after she regained consciousness did she let go, and sat back in her seat.
Not only Yingchun, but even Daiyu, who heard this, was pale at the moment, obviously frightened.
Lin Liu grabbed Daiyu's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Just now I told you not to let you listen, but you insist on listening, how about now."
Daiyu grabbed Lin Liu's hand with her backhand, but she relaxed in a strange way——
She is still different from her second sister. Her parents love her, her sister cares, and there are a group of brothers who treat her like a treasure.Even if she gets married, the other party must have checked carefully, and there will be no major problems with her character; even if something goes wrong, the family will definitely help her get justice.
On the contrary, it is to welcome the spring...
Daiyu looked at Yingchun distressedly, but didn't know what to say.
I always feel that at this time, everything she says is wrong.
Yingchun sat in her seat for a while, and then regained her expressionless expression.
Just when Lin Liu and Daiyu were worried about her, Yingchun got up and made a big gift to Lin Liu: "Thank you cousin for telling me about this today, otherwise if I get married without knowing anything, I don’t know what it will be like to be bullied.”
Lin Liu quickly helped him up.
Yingchun sat back in her seat, and tears rolled down like a curtain: "I thought my father sent me out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion like a cargo, which was already his limit for me, but I didn't expect that there was something behind this." So much filth."
As he spoke, he covered his face with a veil and wept as if he had suffered great pain.
When she had cried enough, she turned her head to tidy up her appearance, and then looked up at Lin Liu: "Let Cousin Lin see the joke, I am not usually an excitable person, but today is too..."
As she spoke, she turned her head away and wiped away the falling tears.
Lin and Liu felt distressed, but they didn't know what to do for her.
But Yingchun sorted out her mood, smiled at the two of them: "Since I know about this, I will definitely make preparations in the future. Cousin Lin, cousin Lin, don't have to worry about me."
Lin Liu was actually not at ease. After all, in the original book, Yingchun only married into Sun's family for one year and then passed away. It is really hard to believe that she could have a good life in Sun's family after she knew it in advance.
After Lin Liu hesitated, she turned her head to look at Liang Xia: "Liang Xia is the big maid by my side, she practices martial arts, even a man with average martial arts skills is no match for her, otherwise, I will lend you Liang Xia for a while." Time? So you have more time to plan?"
I heard that people who are good at chess are good at strategy, although Yingchun can't see this at all, but maybe she never had the chance to play it?
If she was given a little more time, Yingchun might be able to keep herself, at least survive?
Yingchun glanced at Liang Xia, smiled and shook her head: "Liang Xia has been with my cousin for many years, and she has a deep relationship with her. Why did she follow me to the tiger and wolf den? I have other ways. Cousin really doesn't have to worry about me."
Just at this time, Xiuju came back with a box of tea and knocked on the door.
The three of them shut up for a moment and looked at the past together.
Yingchun raised her hand to let people in, and personally cooked a pot of tea for Lin Liu and Daiyu.After that, she never let Xiuju leave her house again, and she didn't mind bringing up the matter of the Sun family in front of her, even though Xiuju's face turned pale when she heard it, Yingchun didn't respond.
It wasn't until Lin and Liu stayed here for too long that Yingchun had to leave, and then Yingchun emphasized again and again that she would definitely be able to protect herself.
Seeing this, Lin Liu naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only leave with Daiyu.
On the way, Daiyu looked at Lin Liu worriedly: "Is my sister angry with my second sister?"
Lin Liu was taken aback: "Why are you angry?"
Daiyu tilted her head and looked at her: "Because the second sister doesn't accept her kindness. According to the situation of the Sun family, it is the best way for the elder sister to lend Liang Xia of martial arts to the second sister."
Lin Liu smiled: "Life is Yingchun's own. She can live it as she likes. How can we forcibly interfere? Besides, I see Yingchun's expression, although she is sad, she seems to have a plan in her mind and does not seem to be strong. Maybe, she really has some trump card." Didn't take it out?"
The two looked at each other. Seeing Lin Liu's calm eyes, Daiyu couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, "Sister is really generous. If I were to encounter such a situation, I might be able to quarrel with my second sister."
Lin Liu shook her head: "I can't help much at all."
After all, her identity is only a relative, even if she wants to help, she can't intervene.On the contrary, Yingchun had her own idea, and the effect would be better.
The two sisters chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Rongqing Hall.
The old lady came back this time only to attend the granddaughter's banquet, and did not bring back much. Obviously, when the marriage is over, she will leave Rongguo Mansion, a place of right and wrong.
After lunch, the mother and daughter left Rongguo Mansion.
The next day, he came to the wedding banquet again and saw Baoyu get married with Yingchun on his back, and then returned to the Lin family.
In this way, this marriage is completely over.
Lin Liu was still thinking about what Yingchun said, so he deliberately asked people to pay attention to the situation of Sun's family. He thought it would be a long-term task, but he didn't expect Lin Liu to get the news on the day Yingchun returned home.
On the day of Yingchun, he took Sun Shaozu back to Rongguo Mansion. There was nothing unusual when he entered the door, and the performance of the husband and wife was considered "loving".
But after the husband and wife came out of Rongguo Mansion, the situation became not so normal——
When Yingchun left, she even took away a group of tall and burly guards with more than 50 people from the Rongguo Mansion.
These people followed behind the Sun family's carriage, and the sound of tidy running was mixed with the rumbling sound of the carriage wheels, but it attracted a lot of attention for them.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital.
Everyone knew that on the day the second girl of Rongguo Mansion returned home, she brought back a team of strong bodyguards from her mother's house, and she didn't know what she wanted to do.
Or in other words, she was guarding against something.
Only now did Lin Liu realize that the reason for Yingchun to do this was: firstly, it could protect herself and deter Sun Shaozu from taking action against the people around him; People, the Sun family has a situation, she has to take people back to her husband's house to protect herself.
Now that this is the case, even if Sun Shaozu originally wanted to do something to Yingchun, he would be timid and afraid to do too much.
Otherwise, if something happens to Yingchun, everyone will know that it is because of Sun Shaozu.
No matter how generous Sun Shaozu is, it is impossible for him not to care about his image outside.
The practice of welcoming the spring can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The only thing that puzzled Lin Liu was why the Rongguo Mansion let Yingchun take so many guards back to Sun's house——
It is not surprising that there are so many guards who do not seem to be easily messed with when Rongguo Mansion started as a military general. What is surprising is Jia She's attitude.Based on his previous performance of not caring about Yingchun's life and death, Lin Liu could hardly imagine the circumstances under which he would specially recruit so many guards to protect Yingchun.
And this question was answered on the day of Yingchun's visit.
Yingchun came to thank Lin Liu for telling her about Sun Shaozu's situation, otherwise, after she got married, she might not see Jia Amnesty at all, so naturally she would not be able to prepare in advance and arrange a guarantee for herself.
Yingchun looked at Lin Liu and sighed slightly: "I don't know if Sister Lin still remembers my biological mother? It's that Aunt Li who is domineering and doesn't even look down on Lian's second brother."
Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "I am deeply impressed."
After all, it was the first time she saw a concubine who was so proud of her since she traveled to ancient times.And when she came into contact with Aunt Li, her arrogant and lively eyebrows also left a certain impression on her.
Yingchun nodded: "I can get my father's help this time because of my mother."
Lin Liu: "...???"
She didn't understand, Aunt Li had been dead for more than ten years, how could she still have the opportunity to provide shelter for her daughter?
Yingchun pursed her lips, and squeezed out a smile for a while: "My mother didn't die of illness, but was murdered. It's just because of her low status, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion only thought that she was poisoned because of the fight between concubines. Didn't check it out."
"But they didn't know that my mother was killed because she discovered a secret that no one knew except the murderer."
Lin Liu opened his eyes wide: "Secret?"
Yingchun sighed and nodded: "Because my mother wants to be my father's main wife, she has been working hard for it. Not only does she treat herself as the main wife in the first house, she always pays special attention to the second wife and others, sometimes He will even quarrel with the second wife."
"At that time, my mother made a mess of the whole Rongguo Mansion, but my father not only watched it coldly, but also praised it, so my mother became more and more arrogant."
"The housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion has always been the second wife, and even the big house's Yueyin is under the control of the second wife. Once my mother quarreled with the second wife because she dared to scold and say anything, but let her The second wife was very angry. Unexpectedly, in the second month, the monthly silver of everyone in the big house was deducted."
"My mother went to look for it, but who would have bumped into it..."
Yingchun pursed her lips, seeming to think of something bad, "I happened to bump into the second wife and Zhou Rui's family mentioning Ma Daopo, and said that in order to tie Ma Daopo to her boat, she decided to recognize Ma Daopo after the baby in her belly was born. In order to send the name of the godmother."
"During the conversation, the two of them mentioned Ma Daopo's ability, and as they talked, they mentioned Brother Hu who drowned back then."
Lin Liu suddenly thought that Jia Hu was not drowning, but being cursed.
Sure enough, Yingchun immediately said: "My mother was very much loved by my father at that time. Naturally, I heard my father mention Brother Hu's excellence and the real cause of death back then. She immediately realized that this Ma Daopo was probably the one who cursed Brother Hu back then. Dimpled people."
"My mother is very aware of my father's feelings for Big Brother Hu, so I immediately wanted to go back and tell my father about it. However, there are people coming and going in Rongxi Hall, and she just happened to run into a gap when no one was there before she was about to leave. People from Rongxi Hall came back one after another and told her the fact that she was eavesdropping in the yard."
"My wife directly asked her confidant to 'send' my mother back to the room, and drugged my mother on the way. She died of the poison shortly after returning to the room, and she didn't have time to leave a word."
Lin Liu looked at Yingchun: "Then how did you know about this?"
Yingchun bowed her head: "My mother and my nanny grew up together as children, and they have a perfect understanding with each other. Even just meeting each other is enough for my mother to pass on the news she knows. It's just that after my mother died, the nanny did it for me. For the sake of his own safety, he also felt that his father could not avenge his mother, so he never told his father about it."
"Your nanny..."
"This secret was told to me by my nanny when I was a child. She said that no matter what, I would never forget my mother's feud. Later, I tried to send her out of Rongguo Mansion and let her live on her own."
Yingchun lived in Rongxi Hall as long as she could remember. Although she was not well taken care of, the second wife did not treat her badly.So at the beginning, Yingchun didn't intend to tell Jia Amnesty the news.
But after knowing Sun Shaozu's true nature, Yingchun immediately went to find his wife, hoping that she could help him, but unfortunately the final result was...
Mrs. Wang prevaricated her by saying "my son, this is your life". Not only was she unwilling to stand up for her, she was also unwilling to give her any help.
Yingchun refused to accept her fate, so she approached Jia She.
Then there was the follow-up, the eye-catching act of taking away dozens of strong men on the day of returning home.
Although there had been speculations for a long time, Lin Liu was still a little surprised after learning that Jia Hu's death was actually caused by Mrs. Wang.After all, adults can fight as much as they want, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when children are involved.
Even if the black hand behind the scenes is the Supreme Emperor, Mrs. Wang is also a direct accomplice.
Jia Amnesty was a bastard at first, before he only knew that his eldest son Jia Hu was murdered by the Supreme Emperor, for the sake of the whole family's life, he didn't dare to delve into the matter, but now he knows that the person who killed him has been by his side all the time, it is his younger brother and sister , I don't know what will happen to Jia Amnesty.
Seeing that Lin Liu was worried, Yingchun said with a smile, "My father regretted it when he found out about it. He kept complaining that Mrs. Wang and Baoyu were cursed at the beginning. If he had listened to Jia Zheng's words and buried them alive in a coffin, wouldn't it be Isn’t it revenge? It can be seen that God is helping him, but he didn’t understand God’s deep meaning and saved people.”
Lin Liu: "..."
Although it sounds absurd, but under the circumstances at that time, if Jia Amnesty had the same intention as Jia Zheng and wanted to collect him, I am afraid that the old lady would not be able to hold back her two sons.
But who let Jia Amnesty choose to continue working hard to save people?
Yingchun explained: "The master said that he would treat his body with his own way. I'm afraid he will go to Ma Daopo."
After that, as Yingchun expected, not long after this meeting, news came from Rongguo Mansion, saying that Mrs. Wang suddenly went crazy like last time when she was talking with her natal sister-in-law Wang Yushi, and she passed out not long after. On the ground, Wang Yushi was frightened enough.
But this time, no monk came to save people together.
Just like more than ten years ago, when Jia Hu was cursed by someone, no monk came to save him.
Mrs. Wang, who had always relied on the Wang family's arrogance, just disappeared, easily like a dream, without any sense of reality at all.
But for Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang's death is a more important event than Jia Jing's death——
Because after Mrs. Wang passed away, the connection between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family was severed.
There were originally two daughters of the Wang family in Rongguo Mansion, but since she got married, Wang Xifeng followed Jia Lian to the south of the Yangtze River, and could not return to the capital once a year; only Mrs. Wang, who has always been rooted in Rongguo Mansion, took on the important task of connecting the Jia family with the Wang family. .
But now, she is gone.
The Jia family was fine, although they were a little uncomfortable with the life after Mrs. Wang's death, but soon after the housekeeping power was handed over to Mrs. Xing, life in Rongguo Mansion returned to the right track.
On the contrary, after Wang Ziteng heard the news, he immediately flew into a rage, clamoring that he must find out the real culprit who killed his sister and give her sister justice.
Just when everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was in danger, Jia Amnesty approached the Wang family, but he didn't know what he had said to Wang Ziteng, but the matter ended in nothing, and the Wang family never mentioned any more justice for Mrs. Wang if.
Lin Liu was still wondering what exactly Jia She said to Wang Ziteng that made him so scrupulous that he didn't even investigate the truth about Mrs. Wang's death.
Unexpectedly, within two months, news came that Wang Ziteng married a daughter.
The family she married was still a member of the royal family.
Now Lin Liu understands why Wang Ziteng is unwilling to investigate the murderer who killed Mrs. Wang, bring him to justice, and seek justice——
Because he already knew who the murderer was, but he was worried that his daughter would be implicated by Mrs. Wang's murder of Jia Hu.
A dead sister, and the daughter who is about to marry into the royal clan, of course Wang Ziteng chose his daughter without hesitation.
After all, it was only karma that Mrs. Wang would end up like this.
After all, Mrs. Wang's death did not cause much disturbance in the capital.
Not long after this incident, news came from Jiangnan that the twins, Maoshou and Yingzhu, had participated in the provincial examination together and successfully passed the Juren examination.
However, there have been some changes in the rankings compared to the last exam: Crane Year was still the first in the exam, but Maoshou was second, Lu Sui fell directly to the third place, and Yingzhu climbed to the fourth place.
Soon after, examination papers from all over the country were rushed to the capital for archiving.
The three children in Lin Ruhai's family took the exam, so they naturally wanted to know why they were ranked in this way.
Although he wasn't surprised by this result, he still wanted to know how bad Lu Sui was.
It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't expect that it wasn't that the age of the deer was worse than that of the cat, but that the twins took advantage of the opportunity in order to get better grades in the exam——
It's not cheating, but the writing style of the two brothers has changed from the previous concise and generous style, and has become flamboyant and flashy. If the names of the test papers are indeed twins, there is no possibility of substitute exams in the test room, and he will doubt the two test papers Who is the owner of.
On the other hand, Maoshou and Yingzhu's answers are plain and meaningful, which is indeed their previous style and level.
According to Lin Ruhai's standards, the twins' answers are definitely not as good as Mao Shou and Ying Zhu's.In other words, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, the ranking of these four children should be Maoshou, Yingzhu, Henian, and Lushou.
Lu Shou didn't even make it to the top three!
Lin Ruhai inquired again, and was not surprised to learn that the examiner in Gusu this time was a top scholar, not only his own writing style, but also his favorite writing style is the type with gorgeous rhetoric and neat rhythm.
Look at the sudden change in the style of the twins' articles, and then look at the consistent article style of Mao Shou and Yingzhu.
Lin Ruhai: "..." What else do you not understand?
In front of the three female relatives in the family, Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "After the exam, the children should go back to Beijing, right?"
