Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Although Jia Zheng was promoted, he still worked in the Ministry of Industry.He has a sour personality, no ability, and doesn't like to make friends with others. He only recites poems, paints and appreciates Qing Ke at home. This foreigner has been working for many years, and I don't know how many people laugh at him behind his back.Unexpectedly, at his age, his grandson has been in school for many years, and he was suddenly promoted. The officials of the Ministry of Industry thought for a while, thinking that Jia Zheng and Gu Ming had only been friends for a few days, and there would be such benefits, so they laughed again. Once.

They couldn't help but laugh. The eighth and ninth-rank officials who entered the Ministry of Industry at the same time as Jia Zheng had already been promoted to the third and fourth ranks. Only Jia Zheng has worked hard for more than 20 years, and he was promoted from the sixth-rank chief to the fifth-rank Yuanwailang.

Some people think of Wang Ruilai who was sent out that year. Emperor Changqing came to Beijing to congratulate him the year he ascended the throne. He had already been promoted to governor. I remember what he said before he left. People are afraid of the power of the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family, even though they laugh at Jia Zheng in their hearts, they don't show the slightest bit on their faces. They never thought that God would favor him, and he was promoted at this moment.

When Yu Heng heard about it, he saw Jia Zheng's face full of joy, and was grateful for the place where Emperor Changqing was. He unconsciously smiled and congratulated Jia Zheng with everyone.It was the day before yesterday when Gu Ming recommended Jia Zheng, and at the same time, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw that there was a lack of one person, and after reporting back to Emperor Changqing, Emperor Changqing immediately ordered Zeng Xian to take over Jia Zheng's original position as Yuanwailang. Taste.

Therefore, the documents for Jia Zheng's promotion and Zeng Xian's appointment were issued on the same day.

Although Zeng Xian did not take part in the palace examination, Emperor Changqing had already read the papers for the examination, and he was indeed brilliant. He also knew from Yu Heng that he was very talented and upright, not to mention that it was Emperor Xuankang who ordered him to study for the imperial examination. Emperor Changqing was happy to promote Zeng Xian who came out to be an official.Zeng Xian came from behind. In comparison, Lin Rui's grade was the lowest.

But Lin Rui didn't feel very depressed, and he, like Yu Heng, entered the Hanlin Academy at the time, and now works in the Imperial Academy. I don't know how many people envy this young Hanlin.When others talked about their grades, Lin Rui smiled lightly and didn't care. Because of his busy schedule, he planned to go to Zeng Xian with Yu Heng to congratulate Zeng Xian after get off work.

In a few months, Lin Rui will get married. Just like Yu Heng often visits his own house, he also often goes to Zeng's house.

Zeng Xian was originally from a noble family, his mother was a princess, although he had not passed the palace examination, he suddenly won the fifth rank of the official, but he was not at all timid, after putting on the official uniform, he was scrutinized by everyone calmly.When others saw it, they couldn't help admiring in their hearts, as expected of being hand-picked by Emperor Xuankang, and not inferior to Lin Rui and Yu Heng.Suddenly someone remembered that Zeng Xian was Lin Rui's brother-in-law, and they were speechless. These three young people were really amazing. If they hadn't been afraid of their grandfather's name, Zeng Xian might have been on the gold list?

People who thought of this came forward to chat with him, praising him for being young and promising.

Hearing the words "Young and Promising", Jia Zheng looked down at his official uniform, and the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Although Zeng Xian didn't know what Jia Zheng was thinking, he had heard about the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion, met Jia She and Jia Zheng, and knew a lot about Jia She and Jia Zheng.Because it was Lin Rui's grandmother's house, Lin Rui and his son often talked about it, but they seldom commented on the behavior of the Rongguo Mansion with others. Fortunately, Zeng Xian couldn't hide it from him. No difference.

Zeng Xian took a look at Jia Zheng. He had a white face and long beard, elegant and upright. Since he was Jia Baoyu's father, he was not as careless as Jia She, nor was he as free and open-minded as Lin Ruhai.

Yu Heng's gaze was like a torch, and he saw a little bit, but his face was calm.

I can't blame Jia Zheng for being like this, he was promoted so easily, he was in a busy time, meeting everyone, being congratulated by everyone, but Zeng Xian took office not long ago, his demeanor is far better than Jia Zheng's, the most important thing is that Zeng Xian is only [-] years old this year Next year, even this year, there will only be a dozen or so Jinshi at this age, and they must have a bright future, which is beyond Jia Zheng's reach.

Also because of this reason, the number of people who made friends with Zeng Xian was several times more than that of Jia Zheng.

Zeng Xian was very humble, and came to ask Jia Zheng for advice.He took over Jia Zheng's position and was also Yu Heng's deputy. He wanted to take over the official duties Jia Zheng was supposed to do. He was quick-witted, soft-spoken, and respectful. Come on, we are still relatives."

Zeng Xian paused, and said with a smile: "Exactly, the family and the Xiaguan's grandmother's family have been friends for several generations, and the Xiaguan's sister-in-law is also the nephew of the Zhenggong's direct relative, so there is something to do with it."

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "My nephew has just entered the court, so if you don't understand anything, just let me know."

Zeng Xian smiled and said yes, and went to see Yu Heng again.

Yu Heng said: "I wanted to tell you a while ago, but I was born with too much time, so I forgot. I didn't expect you to be assigned to me. We used to study together and attend the Spring Festival together, and now we work together in the same dynasty. It's very clever." !"

Zeng Xian smiled lightly, and said: "The ancients said that no coincidence makes a book."

Yu Heng nodded, and said: "After get off work, you and Brother Lin will go to the mansion together, to congratulate solemnly, and also say hello to Princess Wende and Mr. Zeng. You can't leave earlier than us."

Zeng Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Yu Heng told him to go to work.Yu Heng knew that he would not be able to do this for a long time. Emperor Changqing revealed his intention that he wanted to go to Long Jinwei to experience first, and then replace Long Jinwei as the commander.He is both civil and military. Although his talent is not as good as Lin Rui's, he is quite superior in military art and martial arts. Emperor Changqing is also relieved. Of course, he was born in the imperial examination, so he may have to work part-time.So Yu Heng didn't intervene in the affairs of the handicraft department, he only did what he needed to do, and then asked Zeng Xian to learn from him.

Yu Heng imagined that with Zeng Xian's ability, although he could not move three times in one day, it would be easy to move up step by step.The Zeng family had great talents for generations, but unfortunately, the fate was not good. Mr. Zeng's grandfather chose to name his father Jin, which delayed the imperial examination for his descendants.

After get off work, Lin Rui told Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai shook his head, feeling happy for Zeng Ming and Zeng Xian, and asked Yu Heng, "Did you go to Zeng's house and send someone to tell the old lady?"

Yu Heng hurriedly said: "I have already sent people home."

Lin Ruhai nodded and let them go first. Just as he was about to get on the sedan chair, he saw Jia Zheng approaching. Lin Ruhai stopped in his tracks and bowed his hands to say hello.When Jia Zheng saw Lin Ruhai, a smile flashed across his face, and he said affectionately, "When will my sister-in-law be free, let's have a drink? The old lady always remembers how many girls are there with her sister."

Lin Ruhai said: "If I have time, I will definitely bother my second brother-in-law. I heard about my second brother-in-law's joy today, but I haven't congratulated my second brother-in-law yet."

Jia Zheng suppressed the smile on his face, and sighed: "What's the joy? I'm old enough to work hard and do nothing for the country, and I don't care whether I can be promoted. I just didn't expect to be recommended by Mr. Gu, and suddenly there was news But it was a surprise. My sister-in-law wanted to know Mr. Gu, and he admires my sister-in-law very much."

Lin Ruhai reminded: "Master Gu is capable, but it's better for the second brother-in-law to be more cautious when he is an official." He couldn't tell Jia Zheng that Gu Ming was shrewd, cunning, and ungrateful, let alone in front of many officials who hadn't left yet.

Although Jia Zheng's actions were not in line with Lin Ruhai's wishes, compared to people like Gu Ming and Jia Yucun, Jia Zheng was still very innocent.Jia Zheng is just an incompetent person. He can't be loyal to protect the country, can't make friends with his colleagues, and can't restrain his descendants and subordinates. He is pedantic and old-fashioned.

Jia Zheng didn't care, and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand. I've been like this for so many years."

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Lin Ruhai sighed slightly and raised his hand to say goodbye.

But the news spread quickly. As soon as Lin Ruhai returned home, Jia Min asked, "I heard that the second brother was promoted suddenly? Was it recommended by Gu Ming? People like Gu Ming are unknown to outsiders, so how can we not know? If you harmed Uncle Lian'er, could it be that you want to harm the second brother? No matter how poor or incompetent the second brother is, it's not up to Gu Ming to handle it at will."

Daiyu said from the side: "Mom, don't worry, if Master Gu recommends Second Uncle, tell Second Uncle to be more careful."

Marriage, the two surnames are also good.

One loses and one loses, one prospers and one prospers. The Jia and Lin families are always involved with each other.

Jia Min shook his head and said, "Is it possible that I don't know your father's temperament? It must have been reminded, but I also know your uncle's temperament. If your father speaks in a slightly cryptic way, he may not understand it."

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly and said, "The one who knows me is Madam."

After laughing, Lin Ruhai opened his mouth and said: "As Madam expected, I'm afraid that the second brother-in-law didn't hear the true meaning of my words. Whether the second brother-in-law acted properly or not, you and I will not talk about it, but this matter will be left to Madam for another day." Just remind your mother-in-law. When Gu Ming framed Brother Li, he was not merciful at all, not to mention that the second brother-in-law only knew him for a few days?"

Jia Min sighed, and had no choice but to do so, only wishing that Jia's mother would listen and persuade Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng has stolen Rongxi Hall for more than [-] years. Jia Min is dissatisfied. He also hinted that Jia's mother's eldest son, Xijue, should live in the main courtyard. Very close, still refused to let them change.Even so, Jia Zheng did not harm anyone. Wouldn't it be very wronged if he was framed by Gu Ming?

Jia Min said indifferently: "I'm busy preparing birthday gifts and things for Yu'er, how can I go back to my mother's house often? Let's fix a book and ask someone to send it over. My mother can read, and reading letters is no different from what I told her to be an old man."

Lin Ruhai nodded and smiled, he and Jia Min didn't plan to go to Jia's house unless they lived two lives in three festivals.

When Jia Min said the word "Xiaoding", Daiyu's face became hot, she lowered her head and rubbed her handkerchief, pretending not to hear.

Lin Ruhai asked: "Have Xiaoding's needlework been prepared? Clothes and purses are all for their family. Although there are needleworkers, it will be decent for Yu'er to do it by herself." Although their family doesn't need their daughter to study Female workers, but a good needlework is a benefit, so their family has always been the one who picks others.

Jia Min smiled and said: "It's already done, I've seen it, everything is there, all made by Yu'er herself. Heng'er often comes to our house, we all know the size, it will definitely make their family very satisfied gone."

Daiyu blushed immediately, and hurriedly went down with an excuse.

Back to Feng Laiyi, Daiyu reached out to touch her cheek, but she still felt very hot.

But when Yu Heng came out from Zeng's house, it was already late, and he heard that Mrs. Yu hadn't rested yet, so he hurried to pay her respects to Mrs. Yu.Seeing Ai Sun, Mrs. Yu suddenly showed a smile on her old face, and said: "I received a message from Lian's family today. Tomorrow your aunt and sister Chen from their family will come over. It's a pity that it's not the day for you to take a rest, otherwise you It's time to see you."

When mentioning the Lian family, he naturally thought of Liancheng in Lin Rui's mouth. Yu Heng's face darkened a little, and he said immediately: "It's not a pity. Didn't I see you when I came back to see you? Brother Lian Cheng."

It turns out that Mrs. Lian is the aunt of Yu Heng's direct relative and the sister of Yu Heng's mother. When Mrs. Yu married into the Yu family, Mrs. Lian also married into the Lian family. It happened that both Yu and Lian were from Yangzhou, but Mrs. Yu The marriage was in the capital, while Mrs. Lian was in Yangzhou. Therefore, they were separated by thousands of miles, and Lian Chen was Liancheng's older sister.

Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "That's right, you have seen it before, and it won't hurt to see you tomorrow."

Yu Heng remembered that Lin Rui said that Lianchengji had Daiyu hanging on it, and imitated himself and painted many paintings. Fortunately, he was open-minded, and Liancheng was still a childish boy, and he didn't pay attention to the personal relationship of his children, so he was not angry. He just thought that it was hot summer , what should I give Daiyu.Before and after the engagement, whenever Yu Heng had any good things, he would send a copy to the Lin family, and the Lin family had become accustomed to it.

Hearing Mrs. Yu cough a few times, Yu Heng hurried over, supported her, and stroked her back with a very worried expression.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just that you are getting old and have some minor illnesses and pains." Seeing that Xiao Ding's day is coming, she has to support Yu Heng to finish the cooking anyway.

The longer she lay in bed, the more Mrs. Yu felt that her time was running out, but she couldn't rest assured that she hadn't finished.Yu Heng only has a grandmother like himself, and if he doesn't make decisions for him, which elders are willing to come forward?Even though Yu Qiu and Yu Ke wanted to make up with Yu Heng, their wives did not dare to get close to their family.

The lone star of Tiansha, the lone star of Tiansha, why was Yu Heng born with such a reputation?Even though Master Lingtai personally said no after entering Beijing and approved a good day, he was still feared by many people.

The old lady Yu looked at Yu Heng lovingly, but she was begging God to give her some more time in her heart. If she went by herself as soon as she settled down, wouldn't it add to Yu Heng's bad reputation?Therefore, Mrs. Yu asked the imperial physician to take the pulse and write prescriptions every day, begging them to hang her life anyway, even if she could survive until the end of the year.

Yu Heng seemed to be aware of it, and there was a bit of bitterness in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Grandmother will live a long and peaceful life."

Old Madam Yu smiled and turned aside: "In a few days, we will arrive at Xiaoding. The clothes and hair are all rewarded by the empress, so I don't need to worry about it. It's just that Yu'er is too young, so Dading has to wait." several years."

Yu Heng nodded silently.

Old Madam Yu sighed slightly in her heart, it would be great if she could offer an engagement to the Lin family before she was alive, she had already prepared most of the betrothal gifts, only some goat wine wedding cakes and other items were left unprepared, these are easy to come by, as long as you order them, it will be done.Mrs. Yu thought about it, and after she settled down, she asked the matchmaker to discuss with the Lin family, and see how they respond.

Yu Heng comforted: "Grandmother doesn't have to be like this, it's important to take care of your body first."

Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "I know how my body is. I have to take care of it for you."

Although Yu Heng is not a taciturn person, he has never learned to speak eloquently for many years. For a while, he didn't know what words to express his gratitude and respect to Mrs. Yu.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder.

In the evening, after serving Mrs. Yu to take her medicine and rest, Yu Hengfang returned to his room, and unconsciously picked up the letters and paintings he had exchanged with Daiyu that day to compose poems, a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and suddenly thought of Liancheng, the smile faded, Thinking of what Daiyu once said that Liancheng picks up people's teeth, Yu Heng relaxes, thinking that although Liancheng is good, he is not himself after all.

At the same time, Liancheng couldn't help feeling cold, and instead of paying attention, he squeezed the dessert and stuffed it into his mouth.

The next day, Mrs. Lian brought Lian Chen over, and Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Cheng went to the Imperial College to study?"

Mrs. Lian was taken aback, and quickly laughed: "How does the old lady know? I have only been there for a few days." Lian Cheng was naturally reckless, spoiled and spoiled when he was young, and Mr. Lian suffered repeated setbacks in his official career over the years. In recent years, he has gotten better. He was much more stable in the past, so once he returned to the capital, even the adults sent him to study in the Imperial College, and also met Lin Ruhai.

When Mrs. Lian was talking, she sighed inwardly. Back then, her rank was higher than Jia Min's, but today she is below him. She really is a husband and wife. After so many years, it seems like a world away.

Old Madam Yu said: "The news in the capital is so hidden from others. Although I don't go out, my eyes and ears are outside. I also heard that Brother Cheng and Brother Zhi from the Lin family are both in the Imperial College. Brother Zhi is a good boy , I watched them grow up, it's a beautiful thing for them to go to school together and kiss each other."

Mrs. Lian said yes with a smile.

Mrs. Yu beckoned Lian Chen to sit on the chair beside the bed, and smiled at Mrs. Lian, "I've been sick for a long time, so I'll take another look at Sister Chen. Come on, I forgot to ask."

Mrs. Lian hurriedly laughed and said: "Not yet. We were in southern Fujian before, and we couldn't understand the language there. How dare we choose relatives there, so it actually delayed her marriage with Brother Cheng. This time, it is very easy to come to Beijing. , I thought about choosing someone for them after the new year, brother Cheng can wait for a year or two, but sister Chen can't wait."

Lian Chen is two years older than Lian Cheng, he is 16 years old this year, 17 years old according to his age, and he is as young as a flower and a willow.Hearing Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Lian talk about their marriage, Lian Chen couldn't help but blushed and bowed his head in silence.

Old Madam Yu said: "It's a pity that I'm sick, otherwise I would definitely do Baoshan for Sister Chen and Brother Cheng. However, the wife of my in-laws knows a lot of people in the capital, which one is good and which one is not, and which one is a civil servant. The family is a military commander, and it is clear which relatives are promoted and which relatives are rich, so you might as well ask her to be your matchmaker."

Mrs. Lian clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Why did the old lady want to go to the same place with me? Although there were a few sisters in the past, old and old, going and going, half of them are gone. Even if there are, they don't have much contact with each other. But Mrs. Lin is closer. I went to her house the other day and talked about it. I heard that Henger is the daughter of their family? August Xiaoding?" Daiyu has been in the company since childhood The wife played in front of her, and even the wife knew what she was like. She used to worry about Yu Heng's life, but now she felt that she was very suitable.

Old Madam Yu ordered the servant girl to help the pillow behind her, nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's right, you will go too when the time comes."

Mrs. Lian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, if we can live in the capital for a long time, I will not only add makeup to Yu'er, but also come to eat Heng'er's wedding wine, so that we can have a lively time."

While talking and joking, someone suddenly reported that the old aunt had brought her grandchildren and had arrived outside the door.

Mrs. Lian paused with a smile on her face, and looked at Mrs. Yu, only to see Mrs. Yu's expression was startled, and she said to herself: "Their family has been away for 50 or [-] years and hasn't seen each other. Why did they suddenly come to Beijing?"

Mrs. Lian was worried that the visitor would trouble Yu Heng, so she asked, "Which old lady in the house is it?"

Old Madam Yu said indifferently: "Who else could it be? It's our old man's compatriot sister, her husband's family name is He. When she came out of the cabinet, I'm afraid you were only a few years old. What's more, after she came out of the cabinet, she was separated by thousands of miles. After my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, they never visited our family again, so you have never heard of it. I don’t know why they came here today.”

In other words, the old aunt who came was Mrs. Yu's sister-in-law.There are many quarrels between sisters-in-law, not to mention that Mrs. Yu is not soft and tempered, and He Yu and Mrs. Yu are not very close, and they are even more distant.He Yu's family was married in the capital, and her husband's family lived in the capital at that time, and because they needed her mother's family to rely on, they had close contacts, but after the death of her parents-in-law, the He family was released from the capital, and the two families cut off communication.Old Master Yu once sent someone to visit her and knew that her family was safe, so he never asked again, thinking that if there was something wrong with her, she should naturally inform her natal family.

Thinking of these origins, Mrs. Yu ordered someone to come in. At the same time, Mrs. Yu said to Mrs. Lian and Lian Chen: "The porter said that grandchildren are here. I don't know how old they are. You two should stay away for now."

Mrs. Lian and Lian Chen knew each other, and hurriedly followed the maid to hide behind the green gauze cabinet.

After a while, I saw a white-haired old man come in with two men, one woman and two women, a total of six people.

Just look at the old lady who is about seventy years old, her temples and eyebrows are like snow, she is full of energy and healthy while walking, her eyes are shining brightly, as soon as she enters the door, Mrs. Lian behind the green gauze cabinet feels It was cold.

Behind the old lady, there are two sons, one is 27 or [-] years old, and the other is [-] or [-] years old. In terms of thick eyebrows, they are about three points similar in appearance, but they have an unusually elegant demeanor.The woman was in her twenties, with slender eyebrows and thin eyes, with a narrow waist and shoulders, and there was a trace of sadness between her brows, as if she had encountered some difficulty.The two girls described their demeanor very differently, they were both thirteen or fourteen years old, one had a pink face and cherry lips, and was exceptionally beautiful, the other had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, charming and extraordinary, both of them were rare and stunning.

The six people looked a little embarrassed, but they were gorgeously dressed, with jade belts and golden hairpins, and their aura did not lose half a bit. It seems that they came to visit the door as soon as they arrived in the capital, so they looked like this.

Mrs. Lian thought to herself, not knowing why they came.

The old lady Yu also looked at the old lady calmly for a while, and looked at the old lady. Although it had been more than fifty years, there was still a faint shadow of that year in the corners of her brows and eyes. It was her sister-in-law, He Yushi, and she said : "I'm inconvenient. I haven't greeted the old lady personally. I ask the old lady to forgive me. Please sit down quickly. Come here, and quickly serve the old lady tea."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yu looked at the men and women behind He Yu, showing a trace of doubt, and said, "Who are these?"

Mrs. He Yu slowly bowed to Mrs. Yu, and then told the men and women behind her, saying: "Come here soon and say hello to your uncle and grandma. What did I tell you? Now that you have entered the capital, you should have some discernment."

The two men and the three women heard this, and they all came to pay a visit, and there was nothing wrong with their manners.

Mrs. He Yu saw it with satisfaction, pointed to the 27-year-old son and said to Mrs. Yu: "This is my eldest grandson, He Fusheng. The younger one is my little grandson, He Lusheng." Pointing to the woman People say that it is the eldest granddaughter-in-law Qi, the one with pink lips is the eldest granddaughter He Shouer, and the one with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes is the second granddaughter He Xier.

Old Madam Yu smiled and said: "I haven't seen it before. When I saw it today, it looks like an old lady. Good boy, get up quickly." Come here, thank you all.

He Yushi sat down and said: "How can you compare with sister-in-law? Even if you are thousands of miles away, you still miss sister-in-law."

Old Madam Yu frowned slightly, and said slowly: "That's not true. Since she is the grandson of the old aunt, she is naturally like the old aunt. When did the old aunt come to Beijing? Why didn't you send someone to tell me first? That's fine. Ask someone to pick it up, how much luggage and how many servants, I know how much, so as to save the old lady from being busy. Do you plan to stay in Beijing this time for a long time, or temporarily? I can send someone to make arrangements."

Hearing Mrs. Yu's repeated inquiries, even the wife asked the same question.Anyone who enters Beijing must first send a letter, a day and a half earlier than the schedule, to clean up the house, hire a sedan chair and a carriage to pull the luggage, and when they come to the door, they must first post a post, lest the owner is not at home. When I came to the Yu family to visit the old lady, I also sent the post first. Who would have thought that He Yu, who is the old aunt of the Yu family, would come to Beijing suddenly without making a sound, and everyone was caught off guard.

I only heard He Yu said: "Our family's trip is too cumbersome. We only brought four or five households with us, and the luggage has been brought. The housekeeper is taking care of it. We came here, but we are helpless. There is no one at home. There are a few of us left, the old and the young, and this time we plan to live in the capital for a long time to make plans for the children, and we will ask my sister-in-law to help me more."

Mrs. He Yu lived in Guangdong, and her husband's ancestral home was from Guangdong. After her husband's death and son's death, she lived in her ancestral home. When she was in the boudoir, she often quarreled with Mrs. Yu, because the family still had tens of thousands of wealth. , I didn't want to go to Beijing to look at other people's eyes, so I lived and worked in peace and contentment.More than ten years ago, I heard that Mrs. Yu's husband died and her grandson died. He Yu shed tears thinking of the old lady. At the same time, she also heard about Yu Hengtian's reputation as a lone star. Never visited Beijing.In the old year, I got the news that the crown prince had successfully ascended the throne, the crown princess was canonized as the queen, and the eldest son born to Empress Yu was the crown prince. Immediately, I was overjoyed to pack my luggage and go to Beijing.

The Empress came out of Yu's family, so she was a relative of the emperor. At that time, He Yu only heard that Yu Heng hadn't decided to marry a wife, and suddenly thought of the two unmarried granddaughters. It would be a beautiful thing to promise Yu Heng a kiss.He knew very well about the queen's direct brother, the duke and feudal marquis He Yu, so he naturally hoped that there would be a duke and wife in the family.Sure enough, on the way, he got the news that Yu Hengfeng was the first class prince.

Since the death of He Yu's husband and son, no one in the He family has been an official. The eldest grandson has never passed the exam. I don't know how to be bullied by the local people for a long time.He Yushi thought that his children and grandchildren would not live up to expectations, so it is better to let the two granddaughters marry well, so that they can pull the brothers back.In fact, He Yu's original intention was that both granddaughters will enter the palace to be selected, and Empress Yu is in charge. If both are selected, it is good. If one is selected, then the other will marry Yu Heng. Take them to Beijing.

At this moment, the He Yu family still didn't know that Yu Heng had bestowed a marriage, and they immediately went to Yu's house after abandoning the ship and landing.

The Yu family is a first-class mansion at this time, and it has already been repaired and expanded. It is rich in color and magnificent, and He Yu's family only feels that it is more majestic than when his father and brother were alive, especially when there is an imperial plaque on it. The Holy Majesty's handwriting is beyond the reach of all the houses on this street, and He Yu's heart was shaken by it.

Old Madam Yu didn't know their plans, but she decided not to let them live in the mansion. Wouldn't it be bad for Yu Heng's future and marriage if someone chews his tongue?

Mrs. Yu didn't like He Yu back then, it wasn't because of He Yu's arrogant temperament, if it was just arrogance and lack of scheming ability, it would be fine. Climbing the dragon and the phoenix, she wanted to enter the palace to be elected at the beginning. The old man didn't like it because of this. The in-laws didn't want to delay the future of their children and grandchildren because of her, so they hurriedly married her to the He family whose ancestral home was far away in Guangdong Hai. They were also family friends. The son-in-law looked very It's rare that He Yu's parents-in-law agreed, and they were released within a few years.

Hearing that Mrs. He Yu said that her husband and husband were dead, Mrs. Yu's eyes flashed, but she didn't see Mrs. He Yu's daughter-in-law. She only saw her brothers and sisters coming in and keeping their eyes on each other. There was still a hint of envy in their eyes. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Of course it is very good for the old aunt to care for her children and grandchildren, but has the old aunt ever sent someone to clean the old house? If not, she will live in the house on the northeast corner for the time being, and wait for me to send someone to clean the old house." How about helping the old aunt to repair and clean the old house before moving in?"

Mrs. Yu refused to keep their family to live, but she had to keep one or two, but she also had a way to deal with it. If they stayed, she would immediately send someone to repair and clean their house within ten days, and then help to choose Auspicious day to move.The old lady Yu thought to herself, she was just a grandson like Yu Heng, and her engagement was imminent, so there must be no mistakes.

He Yu said with a smile: "Then bother my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law and Brother Heng's grandparents live in such a big mansion. Let's come and make it more lively and make my sister-in-law more popular. As for the old house, I haven't lived in it for 50 or [-] years. I'm afraid it's already dilapidated, so let's tidy it up slowly." Anyway, my granddaughter can't wait to get married at Yu's house, if she is engaged, she will always go back to her own home, since Mrs. Yu is willing to clean it up for her, then She felt relieved, He Yushi smiled, and had her own plans in mind.

Old Madam Yu squinted her eyes, and said calmly: "When Heng'er gets married, our family will always have a baby."

He Yushi was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Heng'er has settled with someone? We haven't heard of it. I thought, when we enter Beijing, the whole family will kiss and kiss each other, and they will also count up for Heng'er. Can you pick a good one?"

Looking at her expression and behavior, Old Madam Yu saw a bit of urgency. When she turned her eyes, she also saw a trace of astonishment in the eyes of the two girls. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, old lady It's a coincidence that the old aunt came to the capital just as our Heng'er got engaged. This is a marriage bestowed by the Holy One, and it couldn't be more honorable."

After hearing this, He Yushi immediately didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Lian heard it behind the green gauze closet, and was very surprised. Why didn't Mrs. Yu ask without avoiding herself?He actually told himself to hear it in his ears.At this moment, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law came to ask about the house of the old lady's family, and the old lady Yu said: "For the time being, it will be placed in the Qinghui Pavilion on the northeast.

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law knew in her heart that Dongbeishang and the main courtyard were separated by a large garden, which was the furthest away from the main courtyard, so she agreed to take someone to clean it up.

The old lady Yu said to He Yushi again: "I saw that the old aunt had a rough journey, so I should hold a banquet to clean up the old aunt. However, my body is weak and I can't get up, so I have to neglect the old aunt."

When He Yushi heard the news of Yu Heng's relatives, he was immediately disappointed, and soon cheered up, and said with a smile: "It's all a family. Although this place has been expanded a lot, it still seems to have some shadows of the old days. I know it well. Very well, you don’t have to be polite, sister-in-law. When we’re done packing up, please ask sister-in-law to help us out a little bit, and give my mother peace of mind.”

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Lian's mother and daughter were stunned at once, but they thought that although He Yu's husband was gone, she was still a body of destiny, not a white body, and could enter the palace if there was a celebration in the palace.

Old Madam Yu's smile faded, and she said: "In that case, the old lady should go and wash up first, everything is ready."

Mrs. He Yu nodded, and was about to go to wash up immediately. The maids next to her changed their minds, so she hurriedly invited them over without Madam Yu's opening. Sure enough, there were a dozen maids waiting outside the door, who had never come in to kowtow. At this time, they were vying to support her Duhe Yu's master, there are six maidservants around him, and the rest are only one big maidservant.

When they were far away, Mrs. Lian quickly came out with Lian Chen and said: "There are guests at the old lady's house, we have to say goodbye."

They originally sent a post, and the reply stated that Mrs. Yu was alone at home, and there were no guests at home. Who would have thought that so many people would come suddenly. .

Old Madam Yu sighed: "I won't keep you, please forgive me, I originally wanted to keep you for dinner, but when I saw them, I didn't even think about eating, let alone you. Sister Chen hasn't been engaged yet, don't It's not good to meet you." His tone made no secret of his dislike for He Yushi.In the past four or fifty years, they did not reply to the letter sent by the parents-in-law when they passed away, and they did not send anyone back to attend the funeral. When the grandpa and grandpa passed away for several generations, there was no news. I didn't even say to send a message, because Mrs. Yu knew what it was.

Mrs. Lian smiled and said a few words of comfort, Fang and Lian Chen said goodbye.

Mrs. Yu thought about it, and asked someone to inquire first. Hearing that they were not there, they would not bump into Mrs. Lian's mother and daughter, so she ordered someone to send them away, and then asked someone to deliver a letter to Yu Heng, telling him that there was something in his heart Intend.

Those who go are waiting outside the palace, might as well meet the old eunuch next to Emperor Changqing, ask a few words, and tell Emperor Changqing by accident when he goes back, Emperor Changqing has never heard that there is an old aunt alive in the Yu family At this time, he suddenly entered Beijing with great fanfare, what is his intention?Busy ordered Xuan Yuheng to come over and ask He Yu's family carefully.

Yu Heng said: "Going back to Your Majesty, I don't even know."

Emperor Changqing was stunned, and only heard Yu Heng said: "Grandmother never mentioned it, and my mother never said it, and there is no record of dealing with this family every year, so I don't know about the He family. However, I can see it in the genealogy. I’ve been to an old lady, but I haven’t seen her for many years, and I only know that she’s gone.” I didn’t expect not only to be alive, but to return to the capital after many years.

Emperor Changqing asked: "Tell me, why did they suddenly enter Beijing?"

Yu Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "If you don't want to get up early, you must come for fame and fortune. Otherwise, why didn't you hear anything from before? Wei Chen vaguely remembered that the old lady married to Yuehai, and I don't know how the situation in Yuehai is. "

Emperor Changqing also thought of this, because the whole world is separated by thousands of miles, so many relatives have no contact with each other. , As long as there is enough food and clothing, they would rather stay in their ancestral home than leave their hometown. What are they doing?I'm afraid it's more than fame and fortune.

Emperor Changqing became suspicious, and said to Yu Heng: "You go back earlier today, and quietly inquire about the situation in Guangdong." It is difficult for Emperor Changqing to judge whether the weather is going well in various places from the book, and he also does not know whether someone has bullied him. Keep it secret, He Yu's belt
