Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

The servant who talked to Wang Rui last time was none other than Gu Ming who had received Li Xun's kindness, and later he was ungrateful and almost caused Li He to suffer on his behalf. He does have some skills, so after more than ten years of hard work, he has become the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

For the children from honorable families, Gu Mingsheng has a kind of hatred. He thinks that they have no real talents and learning, and they are born to occupy a position that ordinary people may not be able to achieve in their lifetime.He thinks that he is full of knowledge and talents, and he is not as quick as Li He in every promotion. As time goes by, he is ungrateful and hates the Li family, which is why he conspired with others before and intends to blame Li He for what he did.He didn't want to be noticed by the Li family, thanks to his cleverness, he retreated quickly without any damage, but he never had a chance to clean up the Li family, but the person who conspired with him was finally impeached and sacked by him a year ago, and he replaced him.

Jia Zheng, Gu Ming has heard his name for a long time, he is not even afraid of the Li family, he is not afraid of a mere Jia Zheng, not to mention that Jia Zheng has no real talents and learning, and he is not popular in business affairs. It was only because of Jia Daishan's face that Emperor Xuankang awarded him the title of principal. It took more than ten years before he was promoted to a rank.

Wang Rui complained about Jia Zheng's incompetence, Gu Ming agreed with it with a smile, thinking deeply in his heart, it's a pity that Jia's family is not Li's family, and they have many in-laws, Gu Ming didn't dare to confront them, besides, he never had any quarrels, so there is no need to offend him .

Glancing at Wang Rui's back, Gu Ming sneered coldly. Lin Ruhai and Cheng Sheng, who were in the same department as him back then, were promoted. Only he is now a doctor. At such an age, he doesn't have any great skills. When Jia Zheng got up, although Jia Zheng was incompetent, there were four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue behind him, and he was still rich without high officials and rich salary. What about Wang Rui?

Thinking of this, Gu Ming suddenly felt something, and glanced back, but it was Jia Zheng who was stunned not far away, and couldn't help being startled.

Back home, Gu Ming took off his official uniform and changed into some new home-made clothes. Seeing his wife Zhou was counting the presents, he frowned and asked, "What is this for? Whose gift is it?"

When Mrs. Gu saw Gu Ming, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him to sit down, and then personally took the tea from the servant girl and gave it to him. Fang smiled and said, "The Yu Shangshu family just added an eldest grandson, and we have to go to congratulate him tomorrow. .”

Gu Ming shivered slightly, and said, "Yu Shangshu? But Yu Keyu Shangshu?"

Mrs. Gu didn't understand what Gu Ming meant when she asked this question, but she nodded her head when she thought that there were two Yu Shangshus in the court.

Gu Ming listened, showing a sneer, and he was from a noble family. If it hadn’t been for a princess from their family, as the princess’s natal family, why would the saints value them so much today, but the prince is getting far away The two elders of the Yu family, one is Yu Ke, and the other is Yu Ke's brother Yu Qiu.

This Yu Ke is Yu He's youngest brother, old lady Yu's youngest son, who is about forty-five years old.

Because Yu Heng Tiansha's lone star is well known to everyone, during those one or two years, misfortunes happened one after another in the Yu family, and four generations of grandparents and grandchildren died one after another. No longer caring that her niece was the princess, she knelt in Mrs. Yu's room and begged bitterly, and moved out one after another.

The elders are there, no family separation, but they are afraid of Yu Heng's fate and don't want to bear the name of unfilial, so they begged the old lady Yu.

After all, Yu Qiu and Yu Ke are also his own sons, and they want to separate because they cherish their lives. Although the old lady Yu is sad, she can only declare to the outside world that she is getting old and impatient with the family living together, making herself a headache Therefore, apart from the ancestral house, the sacrificial land and the ladders left by me and Yu Heyifang, the rest, together with Mrs. Yu’s ladders, are divided into two, one for Yu Heng and the other for Yu Heng. Yu Qiu and Yu Ke split the share equally.

Yu Qiu and Yu Ke felt a little displeased, but compared with their lives, things outside of them are nothing to worry about, not to mention facing Yu Heng who is waiting to be fed, the old lady left alone in the ancestral house and Yu Heng depend on each other, it is inevitable to feel a little bit guilty, so they both agreed up.

Yu Ke is 45 years old this year, and it is hard to look forward to the birth of his eldest grandson.

Mrs. Yu didn't live with her son, but she was still very happy to meet Yao'er's family's happy event. She left Yu Heng to study alone at home and came here by car.She is Mrs. Yipin, the mother of two ministers, and the grandmother of the Crown Princess. All the visitors are flattering. Even Jia Mu doesn't go out very often, so she brought Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Wang here today.

The crown prince is deeply favored by Emperor Xuankang, and he is a justifiable prince, who would not curry favor with the Yu family.

Yu Ke's wife knew that the prince was far away from her husband and second uncle recently, and felt uneasy. Fortunately, there was old lady Yu who was deeply respected by the prince and his wife. not coming.

Mrs. Yu didn't know what her children and grandchildren were thinking, she smiled faintly, only looked at her great-grandson, and didn't answer.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly stepped forward to praise the child, and turned away.

Mrs. Gu also came today. Gu Ming has a high rank, and she also has a high rank. Although they are from poor families, the concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, princesses, and wives are all knowledgeable. say.

Mrs. Yu was a high-ranking lady, and she talked and laughed a few words with her colleagues. When she thought of Jia Min, she thought that the letters and gifts she had given her should go to Yangzhou. It's the Duke's wife, her rank is still above her, so she asked Jia Mu with a smile, "Why haven't you seen the eldest girl in the house? At this age, you should come out and let us all meet."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I learned the rules from my mother at home, so I never went out."

Mrs. Yu's thoughts suddenly changed. A 14-year-old girl has already learned almost all the things she should have learned. She should socialize with her mother and wait for others to come to propose marriage. She heard that Wang Ziteng's daughter is the same age as her and has already made a marriage proposal. Now, what rules are you going to learn from the nanny?She suddenly thought that when her granddaughter came, could it be that the Jia family wanted to send Yuan Chun to the palace?I couldn't help but glanced at Jia Mu, and said: "The aunts and wives in your house are really excellent people. They are all nieces Xiao Gu. I just want to meet, but it's such an unfortunate coincidence."

Mother Jia was still angry that Jia Min didn't agree to her proposal, but she was her own daughter, and she couldn't bear her grudge forever. After hearing what Old Madam Yu said, she hurriedly asked, "Do you know my unworthy daughter?"

Old Madam Yu said with a smile: "It's fate. I took my little grandson to Gusu at the beginning of the year, and asked Master Lingtai to meet my little grandson. By chance, I met the wife of the Lin family. Isn't she the aunt of the family? Excellent, considerate, gentle, and kind. The most rare thing is that he has an open-mindedness that is unmatched by others, and the two children he raised are also very outstanding. We can see Master Lingtai, and Mrs. Lin has benefited, Lingtai Master simply told the fortune for my little grandson."

Thinking of living with the Lin family's mother and son for a few days, Daiyu's pretty and smart appearance, the smile on Old Madam Yu's face became wider, her brows stretched, and her face was like an autumn chrysanthemum. On the way back, Yu Heng always remembered Lin Rui. Two brothers and sisters, Daiyu and Daiyu, just came to Beijing, so they took out their own things to give them.

A trace of surprise flashed across Jia's mother's face. She had never heard Jia Min mention this matter. Thinking that she had written a letter about getting married, Jia Min must have been only interested in replying to the letter, and asked quickly, "Is there anything else?" This matter? I don’t know what Master Lingtai said?”

As soon as Mrs. Yu returned to Beijing, she told the outside world Master Lingtai's comments, but Yu Heng's fate was so deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts that no one believed it. Even though Mother Jia didn't go out, Mrs. Dou was well informed. ?Today, he took the opportunity to show his kindness to the old lady Yu. Who knows that both the parents of the crown princess died, and only the youngest brother and grandmother are left to depend on each other. They are indifferent to the rest of the Yu family, but they respect this grandmother very much. The Crown Princess is satisfied with her actions, how can she not take care of Yuan Chun in the palace?

Even though Mrs. Wang was innocent, she understood what Jiamu meant at this time, and looked at Jiamu gratefully. On the contrary, Mrs. Dou next to her and Mrs. Gaoming, who was seated next to her, glanced at Mrs. Wang indifferently after they had finished speaking. speech.

Old Madam Yu smiled and said: "Master Lingtai is really capable. We passed quietly, and Master Lingtai had prepared a vegetarian meal to greet him. It can be seen that it is extraordinary. Later, he said that my grandson's life is precious." , Tiansha Lone Star said it was just nonsense, and said that my grandson is a talent who will definitely enter Lingyan Pavilion."

Speaking of this, Old Madam Yu said to everyone with a smile: "I don't know if I can enter Lingyan Pavilion or not. I just hope that he doesn't have to bear the name of a lone star in this life, and he can live in peace."

Everyone praised in unison: "Master Lingtai's reputation is well known to everyone, and it makes sense to say that Sun Bi will enter Lingyan Pavilion."

They speak very nicely, but eight or nine out of ten still don't take it seriously.

Mrs. Yu knew that they couldn't change their opinion of Yu Heng for a while, and she didn't want Yu Heng to stay in the capital forever. Faced with the criticism of everyone, she decided to go back to Yangzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, and no one would know about Yu Heng's original relationship. Gossip and rumors, and being able to go to the academy with Lin Rui to study, will surely grow up safely and without trouble.

Jia Mu asked with a smile: "Just now the old lady said that she has seen my youngest daughter and grandson and granddaughter, but I haven't seen my granddaughter."

Speaking of Daiyu, Mrs. Yu immediately smiled, and said full of praise: "It's really not what I said. I have never seen a child who is more intelligent than that little girl Yu'er. She has beautiful features and looks like a jade carving. Mrs. Lin He was well-bred, but he only spoke when he was over a year old, and he knew how to say hello to me."

When Jia's mother heard this, she was even more delighted, and she said that the children Jia Min educated were worse than herself.

Thinking of Jia Min's refusal, Mother Jia sighed slightly, and then cheered up again. Baoyu was young at this time, and they were worried. I believe that Jia Min will be very satisfied.When the young lady of the Shen family married the young master of the Gu family, she took a fancy to the character of the young master of the Gu family. With Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's love for their daughter, they probably didn't want their daughter to marry into a wealthy family and suffer grievances. Then they would know Baoyu's benefits.

Back then, the generation from the Lin family to Lin Ruhai had no titles to attack, and Duke Lin's titles were only three or four ranks. When they got engaged, Lin Ruhai was a scholar and did not pass the exam, while Jia Min was the daughter of the Duke of the State and was a concubine. All this makes Jia Min married, not mentioning the foundation of the Lin family passed down for several generations, but only talking about the wealth and wealth of the family at that time.

Mrs. Shen suddenly smiled and said: "Hearing what the old lady said, I actually want to meet. Speaking of which, we have never met Brother Rui and Sister Yu. It's a pity that we are in the north and they are in the south. Be an official, otherwise it will be hard to see for a while."

Old Madam Yu turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't see her, as long as the gift is delivered, I plan to go back to Yangzhou next year. If you don't mind, please prepare more things for me to take back to them. Yuer, this child Her eyes are very high, she doesn't like it, she doesn't look at it, if she likes it, even if it's a scrap of paper, she can't put it down."

Suddenly hearing the news, everyone was stunned. Mrs. Yu Ke ordered the nanny to go down with her grandson, and Mrs. Yu Qiu was even more at a loss when they heard the news. The old lady was going back to her hometown, why didn't the two of them know?

Jia Mu wondered: "The old lady lives well in the capital, why do you plan to go back to her hometown?"

Mrs. Yu glanced at the two daughters-in-law and understood what they were thinking, but she smiled lightly and said, "Everyone says that fallen leaves return to their roots. At this age, I always see the scenery of Yangzhou when I dream back at midnight. It just so happened that Heng'er's husband went back to his hometown to observe his filial piety, and he couldn't find a teacher for a while, but I heard that there is a very famous academy in Gusu. , so I thought about going back to my hometown.”

Mother Jia is old and smart, so how can she not understand that it is mostly because of Yu Heng that Mrs. Yu returned to her hometown, she hurriedly smiled and said, "That's good, I just have a few things I want to give to my granddaughter. I have to trouble the old lady once in a while."

Mrs. Shen also smiled and said: "That's very true, when the old lady will leave, at least tell us, we also have gifts."

Mrs. Yu said: "September is fixed. After the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn will be crisp and clear, so we can go on our way. There are so many luggages at home, and it will take some time to pack them. The old matriarch and Mrs. Shen will send them to me before then." .”

Jia Mu and Mrs. Shen agreed in unison.

Not to mention how Mrs. Shen will arrange presents for the Lin family when she goes back, she remembers the date and asks Mrs. Yu to take them, while Jia's mother is bored for a while when she goes back, and finally misses her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter, saying that Jia Min doesn't understand With all my hard work as a mother, I also asked the girl to choose the good things carefully.

Mrs. Dou didn't care about this, anyway, Jia Min would not agree to Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage.Such a clever woman, how can she not know how to socialize?How can I not guess why Jia Mu made such a proposal, but I just don't want to think about it, so I just refuse it.Jia Min didn't say it, it's not that she doesn't know, as a mother, she knows exactly what kind of benefits people who marry Daiyu can get from it, but as a daughter, it's hard to say, and she also leaves three years for Jia Mu. Face off.

Hearing that Mother Jia had found some extremely precious antiques and gave them to Jia Min's mother and son, Mrs. Wang was secretly annoyed. Jia Min had rejected Jia's mother so straightforwardly. How can my mother give her all the good things, it's too partial.Because of Baoyu's unique position in Jiamu's heart, Jiamu often said that she would leave all her things to Baoyu. After a long time, Mrs. Wang regarded Jiamu's ladders as Baoyu's things. I just feel very distressed.

Fortunately, Jia Min was angry for a while, and in the letter, she just refused to tell Jia Mu's proposal and forgot to tell Jia Mu that she was pregnant. Otherwise, Jia Mu would give her daughter more things than at this time, which would make Mrs. Wang even more distressed.

Mrs. Wang was depressed for a few days, and she was surprised to see that Jia Zheng was doing the same.

The young servants who accompanied Jia Zheng didn't know why Jia Zheng was like this, but they were afraid of Mrs. Wang's power, so they thought about it and answered truthfully: "The old master came back from work like this. Quite ashamed, angry and annoyed, I think I was wronged, but what happened inside, the little ones don't know."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had to send them down. Jia Zheng stayed overnight and asked politely, showing concern.

Wang Rui said behind his back that he was incompetent and only relied on Zu Yin to become an official. Jia Zheng was very ashamed and angry. How could he tell Mrs. Wang?It made me lose face at home, so I said lightly: "There is nothing, you are worrying too much."

Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, if nothing happened, how could it be so with Jia Zheng's temper?So he asked again, and Jia Zheng said impatiently: "I've said it several times, but why don't you believe it? It's just that handling official business in the yamen is not in line with Lang Zhongrui's wishes, so it's inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable. People like us, who can do it?" Can you make me feel wronged?"

Mrs. Wang seemed to be annoyed when she saw him, and her heart trembled. Guessing that the matter was not a trivial matter, he didn't want to talk about it in detail, so he hurriedly apologized and said yes with a smile. Only then did Jia Zheng turn around, but he remembered Wang Rui name.

However, after Yu Ke's family dispersed, Mrs. Yu Ke and Mrs. Yu Qiu sent all the guests away, and hurriedly came to ask Mrs. Yu about her return home.

Seeing that they had endured for so long, Mrs. Yu became more and more calm, and felt sour in her heart. If the family had never been separated back then, the Yu family's ancestral house was so lively for several generations. How could it be as desolate and lonely as living with Yu Heng today? , so my heart has long since faded away from them, as before, after hearing what they said, I sneered and said: "Why, I want to go back to my hometown, are you willing to do it?"

Mrs. Yu Qiu spoke cleverly, and hurriedly laughed and said: "How dare you stop the old lady? I just thought that the old lady would be filial to us in the capital, wouldn't it be good? Why go back to the hometown all the way? It's deserted there, how can there be a capital lively?"

Since the separation that year, the Crown Princess hated them for not treating their grandmother and younger brother kindly, and went around saying that Yu Heng was the fate of the lone star of Tiansha. Fortunately, the Crown Prince valued Yu Qiu and Yu Ke, and the two brothers were both of high rank. The weight is extremely important for Emperor Xuankang, even if the Crown Princess doesn't like the two of them, it's not easy to show it.But now it's different, whoever the prince is far away from, the princess is far away from whomever, usually in the palace, when I meet someone with a calm expression, there is no trace of warmth.The old lady is the most respected by the princess, and there is Yu Heng by her side. They still think about relying on the old lady and Yu Heng to communicate with the princess and how to keep them away from the capital thousands of miles away.

Mrs. Yu sneered and said: "Even in the capital, our grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other for life, and it was deserted. How was it ever lively? Saying these words is not disgusting! What did you say back then, do you want me to repeat it?" One more time? You knelt down and kowtowed to me to save your lives, and the family was finally separated, and I only live with my grandson, so where do I have to ask you to agree?"

The words made the two sisters-in-law kneel on the ground quickly, saying that they didn't dare.

Mrs. Yu leaned on her crutches, stood up tremblingly, looked down at the two of them, and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me, I am an old bone anyway, Heng'er is a young boy, dare not It’s something that hinders you, and I don’t have the ability to help you, but it’s better to let us go back to our hometown.”

Even after Yu Qiu and Yu Ke heard the news, they came to the ancestral house to persuade them very much, and the old lady Yu also insisted on going south.

Xu Shi got along with Su Li for a long time, and got Lin Ruhai's suggestion that day, the prince became more and more indifferent, looking at the affairs of the court from the sidelines, but saw more clearly, often frightened into a cold sweat, and then looked at the other two with a smile The three brothers are still in Jiji camp, wishing to be thousands of miles away from the powerful ministers they recruited, Yu Qiu and Yu Ke are also among them, secretly complaining, they are the people who once advised the prince, now the prince is alienating them , How could they not be frightened by it, lest the crown prince would not reuse them after he ascended the throne, so they wanted to keep Yu Heng so that he could befriend the crown prince.

If the old lady Yu was worried that the world would still treat Yu Heng the same as before, now she wished that Yu Heng would leave Beijing early so as not to be taken advantage of by the two brothers.She is getting old and doesn't know much about court affairs. She used to worry about the prince's behavior and mentioned the prince's concubine, but it was useless for the prince's concubine to speak in front of the prince. Now that the prince's behavior is in line with Emperor Xuankang's wishes, old lady Yu immediately felt relieved. Since he has nothing to worry about, he doesn't want to stay in the capital.Yu Heng was young, and the more stable the crown prince's status, the more people would come to flatter Yu Heng. She didn't want Yu Heng to change his temperament because of his young age, and call himself an uncle before the crown prince ascended the throne.

Listening to the two sons talking about how powerful they are, and saying that Yu Heng is young and they are the only ones who can be relied on by the Crown Princess, the old lady Yu sneered and said: "The Crown Princess did not rely on you in the past, and now she does not need to rely on you. Although you are small, you are more filial to my wife than you. I see that you are honest officials and loyal to the country. Don't think about things that you shouldn't think about. The saint is kind and will not let you suffer. This person often pretends to be smart , I don’t know that if you don’t fight, you will fight.”

Brothers Yu Qiu and Yu Ke immediately blushed when they heard this. To be honest, after the four generations of grandparents died, they stayed away from Yu Heng and only cared about flattering the crown prince, but never helped the crown princess.

Mrs. Yu simply kicked them out, ordered people to pack their bags, take care of all the family affairs, and prepare to leave Beijing in September.

There are two or three months before September, Yu Heng has no teacher to teach homework, but there is a riding and archery master left by his father in the mansion, who still stays in the mansion. When he was concentrating on martial arts, he did not forget to review his homework. If you don't understand, you can ask Mrs. Yu for advice.Mrs. Yu is also the daughter of a famous family, so she is very familiar with this.

After more than a month, Yu Heng went to pay his respects to Mrs. Yu, and was taken aback when he saw the presents in the house.

Mrs. Yu waved to him and said: "Heng'er, come here quickly, here are the things and letters from Mrs. Lin, and the letter from Brother Rui, saying that their house is ready, just wait for us to go back, next spring you Go study with Brother Rui."

Yu Heng took three steps and made two steps at a time. He arrived in front of Mrs. Yu in a short while, and was overjoyed when he received Lin Rui's letter.

When Mrs. Yu saw this, her heart was sour and she almost shed tears. Other people's sons and sisters have already had many playmates at his age, but Yu Heng was born because outsiders said that he had a bad luck. , No one has played with him so far, no wonder he always remembers Lin Rui and his sister.

Yu Heng opened Lin Rui's letter, and seeing his handsome handwriting and awe-inspiring style, he couldn't help but praise: "Good handwriting!"

Old Madam Yu said with a smile: "Brother Rui has both civil and military skills since he was a child, so his handwriting is more muscular than ordinary people. You are one year younger than him, but your skills are not as good. In the future, Rui will have to practice handwriting well. What did you say in the brother's letter?"

Yu Heng glanced at ten lines, read the letter quickly, and said with a smile: "It's just some household chores, and Mrs. Lin is happy now, we found out soon after we left Gusu, and he will have another brother by the end of the year. He also said that when he and I grow up, we will teach my younger brother Wenzhi and martial arts together, and protect sister Lin together."

Old Madam Yu smiled and said: "That's really a happy event, we have to prepare some gifts for the young master."

Yu Heng warned: "Grandmother, don't forget Sister Lin."

Old Madam Yu chuckled, and said: "How can I forget that little girl Yu'er, I love her so much, I can't bear to forget her. When we arrive in Yangzhou, we won't see each other for more than half a year. I don't know how neat and smart she has grown into."

Yu Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's do it that way, she will only be two years old in February next year."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu couldn't help laughing.

The grandparents and grandchildren counted the days to go south, and everyone in the capital knew about it. Some praised the old lady for her painstaking efforts for her grandson, and some said that the old lady was blessed but did not know how to enjoy it. No matter how good Yangzhou is, how can it compare to the capital?Yu Qiu and Yu Ke came to beg several times, but Mrs. Yu never changed her mind.

On the contrary, the few families who have made good friends with the Lin family all know what Mrs. Yu said to Jia Mu and Mrs. Shen when they were in Yu's house. They also remember Jia Min, but it is inconvenient to travel. Hearing that Mrs. Yu was returning to Yangzhou, she was busy packing presents, and came to ask Mrs. Yu. They were nothing more than brushes, inks and satins, and asked her to take them to Yangzhou.Mrs. Yu wanted to make friends with the Lin family, and she liked Jia Min as a person, so she would respond to everything. Roughly speaking, there were twenty or thirty families.

The Crown Princess also found out the news in the palace, and she was really worried about her grandmother and younger brother. She finally hoped that Mrs. Yu would come to the palace to pay her respects, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother and Heng'er, the old and the young, let's go. How can I rest assured?"

It was about to enter September at that time, and the princess was only wearing homely clothes, with sculpted eyebrows and cherry lips, and sitting on it, she looked even more graceful and luxurious.

Old Madam Yu saw her granddaughter's demeanor becoming more and more calm, with a sense of calmness and composure. Even in front of the queen, she was no different. She was secretly relieved, and comforted her: "I took Heng'er to Gusu and saw Lingtai Master, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to go back to Yangzhou? Yangzhou is our ancestral home. There are all houses, farms, shops, and people. The adults and the family will take care of it, and the princess does not need to worry."

When the princess heard about the Lin family, she naturally thought of the prince's instructions.She and the crown prince are young couples with a deep bond of affection. The crown prince did not hide from her that his precarious position and other brothers were covetous. Although Lin Ruhai did not mention what Lin Ruhai said at the beginning, he also said that it was Su Li who got the warning from Lin Ruhai. Only then did they improve their situation in front of Emperor Xuankang, so the Crown Princess was also very grateful to the Lin family, and when Mrs. Yu came to the palace to pay her respects when she returned to Beijing, she was full of praise for Jia Min's mother and son.

At this moment, hearing what her grandmother said, the Crown Princess couldn't help but said: "Their family is certainly a good person, but grandmother is thousands of miles away from the capital, and granddaughter is in the capital, how can you not worry?"

Mrs. Yu sighed, explaining in detail how powerful it was.

The princess was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I thought His Highness would stay away from them and have nothing to do with our family, but now I heard from my grandmother that someone actually set their minds on Heng'er. Also, Heng'er is young and has an uncertain temperament. , will inevitably be used by others. I have a granddaughter in the palace, and I can't take care of my grandmother and Heng'er. I am really ashamed."

Old Madam Yu said with a smile: "Don't say that, the Crown Princess is doing well in the palace, so Heng'er and I can rest assured. Even if it wasn't for this, Heng'er has such a reputation in the capital, and life would be difficult. Better to leave."

Thinking of the younger brother's reputation, the crown princess sighed.

After a while, the Crown Princess knew that her grandmother and younger brother had already decided to go, so she hurriedly ordered someone to fetch things, pointing to one of the eight lynx cat cloaks carved in stone and blue silk, and four bolts of palace satin and four bolts of palace silk. The old lady said: "This cloak and these bolts of silk and satin were originally given by the empress. I think it's good. Grandma can bring them to Mrs. Lin."

The crown prince valued the Lin family very much. In the future, the old lady Yu and Yu Heng would never bother Lao Lin's family. The princess was happy to show them face, and pointed to a few pieces of high-quality leather and said: "The brother of the Lin family is young and can't wear a cloak, but these few pieces The leather was obtained by the former saint and His Highness when they went hunting, together with these thicker silks, my grandmother rewarded Lin Geer for me to make a winter coat."

Old Madam Yu understood what the Crown Princess meant, agreed, and reminded: "The Lin family still has a sister and an unborn child."

The princess smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, old grandmother, there are all of them."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the maid who was close to him to fetch four bolts of scarlet gold-woven satin, and said: "These few bolts are used to make clothes for my unborn brother. Their family lives in Yangzhou, very close to Jiangning weaving and Suzhou weaving, so they are not rare. , It's just a little thought from me, the old grandmother took it over and said something nice for me."

He also asked the maid to bring her dowry over, took out a pair of eyewear from it, and ordered the maid to hold it in front of Mrs. Yu, and said with a smile: "This is the jade pendant that the sage gave to His Highness on His Royal Highness May's birthday, and His Highness gave it to you. I, I think it's really good jade. I heard that the name of the sister of the Lin family has a jade character, and my grandmother brought it to sister Lin for me. In addition, there are a few brightly colored materials, which are suitable for a little girl like her. The child makes clothes, and the grandmother takes them with her."

Old Madam Yu was taken aback, and carefully looked at the jade pendants handed over by the maid. Needless to say, the carvings were exquisite, and it was rare that they were made of high-quality purple jade, and a pair of jade pendants were carved almost exactly the same.

Purple jade is an auspicious thing. "Book of Songs" once said: "Yellow silver purple jade, the king does not hide gold and jade, so the yellow silver purple jade can be seen in the mountains."

There is also a saying in "Wen Xin Diao Long": the amulet of white fish and red bird, the auspiciousness of gold and purple jade.

It can be seen that the preciousness of purple jade is rare.

The crown princess laughed and said: "Sages say that sister Lin is a good fortune, so let's give it to her." When Emperor Xuankang loved the prince, he really treated the prince like a jewel in his eye and a treasure in his palm. What he gave to the prince was better than what he used Well, of course there is no shortage of Ziyu Palace, but the best carver is the Bimu Pei awarded to the crown prince by Emperor Xuankang.

Mrs. Yu was the only one who thought about it, and understood the reason, and agreed with a smile.

The Crown Princess had to give many instructions, and because it was getting late, the Crown Princess ordered someone to send Mrs. Yu back.

As soon as the old lady Yu left, the prince came out from the room. He had long eyebrows and handsome eyes, and was very dignified. He sat beside the princess and asked with a smile, "Did you give the old lady something?"

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Yes, Tete specified that I will give the pair of purple jade eyes to Sister Lin." After thinking about it, I still don't understand why the Crown Prince treats Lin Daiyu like this, and I can't help but ask the question in my heart .

A smile flashed across the prince's lips, and he said: "Gu Zao has been inquired about by others. Mr. Lin has no shortcomings, but one thing. He loves his daughter the most. He seems to be crazy, and he is a bit better than his son. I don't plan to fight with Chaozhong. The important ministers come and go, but they don't want to part with Master Lin, so they have to rely on you and the old lady, and they would rather make friends, there will always be benefits."

The princess smiled and said, "Understood, don't worry, Your Highness."

The old lady Yu went out of the palace and counted the things that the Crown Princess had rewarded. Fang ordered her close servant to carefully seal the things that the Crown Princess gave to Jia Min's mother and son and others, write a sign on them, and put them in boxes until after the Double Ninth Festival. Then choose a day to leave.

Coincidentally, the Lin family has never cut off the gifts from all over the capital, but they were delivered sooner or later. This year, there was an accident on the way, which delayed a lot of work, and it was delivered a few days late. At that time, the Double Ninth Festival had passed, so I was in a panic People hurriedly kowtowed to everyone to apologize, each family knew that it was not easy to come and go, so they didn't criticize them too much, not to mention that they were delayed in giving gifts.

Therefore, when Mrs. Yu left, she returned to the south with the people from the Lin family.

The concubine was worried about her grandmother and younger brother, so she asked the prince again and again. The prince sent two guards from the East Palace and a personal escort to escort them. In addition, the servants of the Yu family's original courtyard guards, etc., together with their luggage, were hired in a mighty way. Several big boats.

Although Emperor Xuankang is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he knows a lot about courtiers' family affairs. Hearing that Mrs. Yu took her grandson to the south, he didn't understand why.Emperor Xuankang knew that troubles were happening everywhere in the capital because the crown prince alienated them, and he was also curious about Master Lingtai's comments on Yu Heng. , he was planning to take care of the influence of the princes, the prince reassured himself, but those princes jumped up and down and made the court full of smoke, so before leaving, he also rewarded the grandparents of the Yu family with many things, so that Yu Heng returned home. A good student from the countryside studied and practiced martial arts.

Seeing Emperor Xuankang like this, even if the brothers Yu Qiu and Yu Ke didn't want their mother and nephew to go south, there was nothing they could do.

Old Madam Yu's grandparents and grandchildren had only left Beijing for two days, and some officials from the imperial court came down from their horses. Emperor Xuankang's move was really quick, and two of the important ministers were the empress's son, the seventh prince, who had been wooed.

Emperor Xuankang reprimanded the Seventh Prince for his inability to handle affairs, and ordered him to return to the mansion for self-examination.

With such a move in the court, everyone was in danger for a while.

Wang Ziteng screamed in surprise, and when he came back to chat, he told his wife. It happened that Mrs. Wang came to help his sister-in-law take care of Sister Feng's dowry list. Teng listened and asked Wang Ziteng to take the opportunity to vent his anger on Jia Zheng.

Wang Ziteng didn't take it seriously, and after a few words, Wang Rui was affected by the movement in the court and demoted to a remote place.

Thinking of his subordinates, Wang Ziteng took the opportunity to insert him in.

Jia Zheng was a person who didn't care about anything. He only thought that Wang Rui was affected by the turmoil in the court, and he didn't expect that he would end up like this because of himself.

Others didn't notice it at all. Wang Rui's official position is small, so he didn't know how he got involved in the fight for the heir apparent. Gu Ming was very shrewd. He remembered that he had seen Jia Zheng when he was chatting with Wang Rui a few months ago. High position, after a little investigation, you can see that it is the prince's hands and feet. Although he dare not oppose the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, he is happy to cause them some troubles, and Jia Zheng also dare not oppose him, otherwise Why only target Wang Rui?So before Wang Rui left Beijing, I told him.

After hearing the ins and outs, Wang Rui was trembling with anger.Jia Zheng was indeed incompetent. He complained a few words. Although he said behind his back that he was not a good person, he was really angry. Jia Zheng couldn't manage such a simple official business. Not only this time, Jia Zheng had never done it in the past few years. Good thing, how can I think that a few words of myself can make them act like this.

He was angry, but the matter had come to an end, he was over 50 years old, and he had no foundation to be rich, how could he compete with Jiashi Wang Xue's family, so he had to go out of Beijing depressed and unhappy, facing his colleagues who came to see him off Among them was Jia Zheng, he sneered, flung his sleeves and left, completely ignoring Jia Zheng's astonished gaze.

The author has something to say:

Sister Feng's age is 14 years old this year. I don't know how old she is. I also listed the form, but the result is still mixed up. I will revise it later.

Sister Lin said: Everyone gives me jade, next time Jia
