[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

After Lin Ruhai heard Brother Tang's request, his complexion sank, and he said sharply, "Who will promise you to be so ambitious."

Jia Min also felt that Brother Tang's homework was good, but at the age of nine, he was still a little too young to take the children's examination.Among other things, the exam environment is not easy to endure.I don't want Brother Tang to be intimidated by Lin Ruhai's expression:

"My sister is already engaged, and she may be married in a few years. People say that her mother's family is the confidence of a married woman. If I don't have fame, I won't be able to support my sister in the future."

Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai sympathetically, wondering how many petals the heart of this old father who was ignored by his son would break into pieces.As expected, Lin Ruhai's face darkened completely: "As a father, can't you stand up for your sister?"

Brother Tang said plausibly: "Father will always be an official. If I don't seek fame and fame earlier, I will be a junior official of the fifth or sixth rank at most when my father becomes an official. When the time comes, my sister will be angry, what should I do?"

"Get out, go back to your study and copy the Book of Filial Piety and the Book of Rites five times each." Lin Ruhai didn't want to see his son now.

Jia Min persuaded without sincerity: "Brother Tang is also sister Youai, the master should be relieved."

How could Lin Ruhai not see the smile in Jia Min's eyes?Dumbfounded, he waved to Brother Tang, signaling him to go to the study to copy the book quickly, but Brother Tang knelt down and begged Lin Ruhai to allow him to take part in this year's children's test, and also asked him to increase the number of times he copied the book to ten times .

Neither Lin Ruhai nor Jia Min had this kind of stubbornness, and it was unknown who this child followed.In the end, Daiyu couldn't see it, and begged for Brother Tang's favor, and Lin Ruhai reluctantly agreed to Brother Tang's request.

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Jia Min didn't have the intention to pull back. He waited for Brother Tang to leave before telling Lin Ruhai and Daiyu about the news he had received: "I heard that the clan wife in Ningguo Mansion is not very good. Woolen cloth."

Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Min intended to teach her daughter the Jingzhong genealogy, and after letting her tell Daiyu about Qin Keqing's ins and outs, she said, "Now we have nothing to do with the Jia family. Madam doesn't have to worry about who is good or not. Ask again."

Jia Min sneered: "They sang this song just for us to read. If we don't ask about it earlier, people will not know if they are calculated."

Lin Ruhai understood after thinking about it. Although Concubine Zhen was dissatisfied with Jia Min's answer, the imperial order to deprive Mrs. Wang had been reported to the present day and could not be changed.In addition, there was a lot of noise about Jia Min's dowry that day, and there was no one in Beijing who didn't scold Mrs. Wang.

Wang Ziteng was ordered to inspect the nine provinces again. Because of Mrs. Wang's matter, even Wang Ziteng's wife went to patrol the border together.Among the in-laws that the Rongguo Mansion could rely on, apart from historians with positions but no authority, only Jia Lian's Yue family remained.

However, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian had long been divorced from Jia's mother. The two masters closed their doors and lived their lives in the East Courtyard. The Rongguo Mansion could not find anyone to help them eliminate the bad reputation brought by Mrs. Wang.

Therefore, the Rongguo Mansion urgently needs a bigger matter to divert the attention of the people in Beijing. Is this an idea for Qin Keqing, who they think is useless?

"At any rate, that person was hired by Ningguo Mansion with three media outlets, and Ningguo Mansion was at the mercy of Rongguo Mansion?" Lin Ruhai felt that Ningguo Mansion shouldn't be so stupid.

Jia Min thinks about the grand funeral ceremony in the original novel, and always feels that such a scene is not only prepared for the daughter-in-law of a third-class general, but seems to be alluding to something.

Now the emperor has not become the Supreme Emperor, and there is some deviation from the timeline in the original book, which strengthens Jia Min's precautions: "Ningguo's military power has long been lost, and Rongguo's mansion must be held back in order to surrender to others. The master should Know that if you want to take something, you must first give it.”

That's right, some people have always believed that Jia Amnesty still has connections in Jia Daishan's army, and that Ningguo Mansion has no military power, and no one cares about him if he wants to surrender.If he could coax Jia Amnesty's contacts in the army into his hands, it would be a magic weight.

I just don't know if Jia Amnesty, who is not suppressed by Jia's mother at all, can do what Ningguo Mansion wants by handing over his unnecessary connections in the army, and whether Ningguo Mansion will lose his wife and lose his army.

Now that he has decided to go to the theater, Jia Min sent two more people to secretly observe Ningrong Street, not only during the day, but also at night to find out who went to Ningrong and Rongfu in detail.

Of course, the most important thing is to prepare for He Jianacai on the sixth day of September.So Na Cai's date was set to the sixth day of September because Jia Min remembered that Lin Ruhai didn't exist on the third day of September in the original book.Even if this life is a little different from the original book, she still feels a little beating in her heart, thinking that it would be better to miss that time.

Just as the Lin family was preparing in an orderly manner, Mrs. Xing quietly came to the door with Jia Lian's daughter-in-law.When Jia Min read the original book, she didn't have the impression of Mrs. Xing as described by Cao Da. She felt that she was a greedy, stingy, petty person.

Just imagine a woman whose husband is unreliable, has no biological children, stepson and stepdaughter don’t respect her, her mother-in-law doesn’t want to see her, and her sisters-in-law run on her every day. What else can she have in her heart besides being reliable with money? can depend on?

You have never been kind to others, so don't expect others to treat you with heart and soul.

Hearing Mrs. Xing brought Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, Jia Min didn't turn away the door like she did to the rest of the Jia family, but directly asked someone to go to the main room.Mrs. Xing was a little embarrassed when she saw Jia Min, afraid of Jia She's strict order, she blushed and congratulated Jia Min: "Master heard that my niece is going to accept her, and ordered us to take a look. Is there anything my sister can do to help?" .Then I prepared some small things for my niece, please don’t dislike her.”

Jia Min smiled slightly after hearing this: "Brother has a heart, and he is so tired that my sister-in-law and Lian's daughter-in-law ran away." Who said Jia Amnesty was a mess?From letting Jia Lian go to the Lin family, to letting Mrs. Xing bring Jia Lian's daughter-in-law to post, this person is not a mess.

Persuaded by Lin Ruhai, Jia Min didn't dislike Jia She's behavior of sticking to his family. Jia She took the initiative to show his favor, not because he expected the Lin family to eat and drink, but because he hoped that Lin Ruhai could help Jia Lian.Moreover, Jia Amnesty understands the principle of giving what one wants to get. He would rather offend Jia Mu than to show weakness to Jia Min, so that everyone in Beijing can understand that he disapproves of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's behavior. .

But Jia Min can keep in touch with Jia She's first room, outsiders will only think that Jia Min's divorce from Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's first room is because he was forced too hard, and he cared about family affection, so even the disorganized Jia Forgiveness, she is also willing to continue to contact.

Since both parties wanted to show their friendship, the conversation between Jia Min and Mrs. Xing became more and more pleasant. They not only talked about Daiyu Nacai's arrangement, but also talked about the most important thing in Ningrong and Rongfu: Qin Keqing's illness.

Ever since Jia Min came to Beijing, Jia Amnesty himself has become farther and farther away from Jia Zhen, and he doesn't let Mrs. Xing get close to Ningguo Mansion.But before, Mrs. Xing and Youshi were quite sympathetic, and the two were very friendly. Even if Jia She didn't want to, the two would secretly communicate with each other.Mrs. Xing still knows some news about Ningguo Mansion:

"Speaking of which, Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law is also pitiful. It is obvious that someone who has a daughter-in-law, don't say anything serious, but for everything, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law has to pick the rest, and only then can she get her turn. There is a married daughter-in-law, and it is clearly an offering to a Bodhisattva."

Mrs. Xing said this, and looked at Jia Lian's daughter-in-law with satisfaction. Although her daughter-in-law was only a step-daughter-in-law, she respected her everywhere. Make sure Mrs. Xing chooses herself before using it.

Jia Min felt that Mrs. Xing's words were correct, wasn't she offering a bodhisattva?Yin said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's not been a day or two since she's been sick. There's no good doctor in Beijing. Why didn't you go to the roots earlier?"

Mrs. Xing curled her lips: "The doctor can cure the disease, but not the life." After finishing speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong, and quietly saw that Jia Min's face did not change, and felt sorry for Youshi again: " Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law also has nowhere to pour out Coptis chinensis."

Jia Lian's daughter-in-law got up to refill tea for Jia Min and Mrs. Xing in person. Jia Min smiled knowingly and asked how Jia Lian's daughter-in-law was doing in the East Courtyard and whether Jia Lian bullied her.When everything was fine, Jia Min smiled and said, "That's good. I heard that Lian'er is really stable. Your uncle also said that when things get colder, let him go to the Ministry of Accounting for a test .”

Jia Lian's daughter-in-law said with a look of surprise: "Can the second master really take the exam?"

Jia Min felt that Lin Ruhai, as the secretary of the household department, could still make the decision by recruiting one or two more writers: "I should have told you earlier, but I have already returned the dowry to the mansion. I don't know what the big brother is thinking." , it’s not easy to talk about it rashly.”

Mrs. Xing already had a look of resentment on her face: "Master, what else can he think? He said earlier that the poisonous woman would not be able to stay, but the old lady wanted to be a treasure. It turned out that they also took Lian'er's place in the Imperial Academy, but Fubo couldn't bear it. The young one is gone. Another one was born in Hanyu, I didn't see the good fortune, but I'm used to doing chores for little girls every day."

"I thought about it for a while. In the past few years since I entered the door, I have no male or female. I thought that I was unlucky. I didn't realize that I had fallen into someone else's way until my aunt and wife were wronged. Now Lian'er My daughter-in-law, I will not let her go to the main courtyard easily, because I am already like this, I can't let her harm me and my grandson."

One sentence made Jia Lian's daughter-in-law blush and her eyes were red, Jia Min could only stroke her forehead: This cheap sister-in-law really can't speak, you can just stab Mrs. Wang, and send the old lady's private wishes in front of Jia Lian's daughter-in-law , what if your daughter-in-law learns from her in the future?

Fortunately, looking at the appearance of Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, she was very grateful to Mrs. Xing, so Jia Min stopped talking and asked Jia Lian's daughter-in-law to go back and urge Jia Lian to study more, thanked Jia Amnesty for the congratulatory gift to Daiyu, and sent the two of them out. .

News from Ningguo Mansion came to Jia Min from time to time, and one piece of news caught her attention. When Lin Ruhai went down to the Yamen, she told him, "Someone from Zhengjiazhuang went to Ningguofu in the middle of the night yesterday." At this time, someone from Zhengjiazhuang came , Could it be that he knew that Qin Keqing was ill?

What Lin Ruhai thought was: "There are always guards outside Zhengjiazhuang, how did the people inside come out? Take such a big risk, just to see the Qin family?" An illegitimate girl, the Yizhong County King really cares so much?

Jia Min couldn't figure this out, but fortunately, everyone in the capital already knew that the Lin family and the Jia family had broken off, so she didn't have anything to worry about: "There is still more than a month before Yu'er's acceptance, and our family is paying the dowry because of me." It’s the time when everyone is watching, so it’s better to be careful.”

Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement, and reminded Jia Min: "The manpower in the mansion should also be strengthened." For some reason, Lin Ruhai felt a little uneasy when he heard that people from Zhengjiazhuang had entered the capital.

His uneasiness was quickly validated.

Just two nights after the people from Zhengjiazhuang entered Beijing, unidentified soldiers rebelled again in Beijing.Fortunately, the number of people who rebelled this time was much smaller than that of the prince, and the Beijing camp appeared in time as if it had been prepared, and the damage caused was less than one-tenth of that of the prince.

But the emperor was injured in the palace.

Jia Min didn't know whether he should laugh or not: the emperor set up an affectionate personality for himself. In order to maintain this personality, even if Prince Yizhong was imprisoned in Zhengjiazhuang back then, he only dealt with a few people around him Well, some diehard loyalists of the previous empress actually stayed in the palace, not even changing their positions.

So this time, unknown soldiers outside caused chaos, and the loyalists of the former empress in the palace also made a move.But in the end, it was some old men or court ladies who did not really kill the emperor, but succeeded in preventing the emperor from being able to listen to the government. A fire burned the emperor and Concubine Zhen who were staying in Zhongcui Palace.

Fortunately, after the First Prince's Rebellion, the Emperor always had hidden guards around him.The bad thing is that the emperor and Concubine Zhen shared the same bed, and the hidden guards didn't dare to enter the inner room to visit, and they didn't fight the fire until the fire broke out.

Just one step too late, the throne had to change hands.

The third prince missed the throne again.

After Jin Yiwei discovered that many small officials entered and exited the Third Prince's mansion, he successfully aroused the emperor's suspicion of the Third Prince, and also exposed the third prince's ambition under the mask of humility and filial piety to the emperor little by little.For this forbearing son, the emperor dared not hand over the throne to him:

When he was doing well, the third prince dared to pry the corner of the wall. Once he sat on the throne, the emperor was afraid that he would not end well.

Since I was worried about not being able to die well, I had to choose an honest and obedient son who was not so familiar with the government and had to ask his own son for advice from time to time.The emperor felt that such a son sitting on the throne was not much different from sitting on his own.

The fourth and fifth princes have been making small moves in the past few years. Obviously, they have their own thoughts. How can the emperor rest assured?The sixth prince is dead, the seventh prince is disabled, and the ninth prince has just been in charge of the government for a few years, and he doesn't even know how the ministries work. If he is allowed to sit on the throne, he will have no time to ask himself for advice, and he will be fooled by those courtiers in the court.At that time, the words of gold and jade have already been spoken, even if the emperor becomes the Supreme Emperor, it will not be easy to change it.

So the huge pie fell on the Eighth Prince's head.

Jamin thought it was perfect.

The eighth prince does not have the ability to comprehensively coordinate government affairs for the time being, such a person is easy to listen to the opinions of the courtiers.Even veteran ministers of the Supreme Emperor will treat them with courtesy when the Supreme Emperor has not delegated power and the new emperor is not sure of victory.During this period, as long as Lin Ruhai does not rebel, the entire Lin family will be safe.

After all, there is no information about the death of the Supreme Emperor in the whole story of Down from the Red Mansion.In other words, for at least seven or eight years, the Lin Mansion was safe.Seven or eight years later, brother Tang is already sixteen or seventeen years old, and if nothing else happens, he should have a reputation as a public servant, and he can be regarded as having some ability to protect himself.

Thinking about it this way, even though the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was extremely complicated, and the concubines of the old and new emperors in the palace were all harboring ulterior motives, Jia Min behaved appropriately.Because she found that she could attack the new queen mother and add another layer of protection to the Lin family.

It's really not that Jia Min is greedy and wants to get some benefits from the queen mother, but she is a woman who is in charge of the outside world, and she is also a serious second-rank imperial order. Jia Min will go to the palace to see her every year, festival, and longevity.

Now that the new emperor has not yet been established, Concubine Zhen Taigui, who was in charge of palace affairs, was burned again, and everything in the palace is decided by the queen mother.If Jia Min can win the Queen Mother's favor, the safety of entering the palace will increase a bit.

It is Lin Ruhai, even if the new emperor has completely taken charge of the government, if he wants to do something to an old official like Lin Ruhai, even if the queen mother pleads for mercy, he will be able to retire safely.As long as Lin Ruhai doesn't fail, everyone in the He family will flatter and flatter Daiyu, and brother Tang will also have a smoother career path in the future because of Lin Ruhai's tips and connections.

Jia Min's courage to think this way is that when he was Jia Hu in his previous life, he followed the eighth prince to the Empress Dowager's Palace where Concubine Kang was still a few times, and heard the eighth prince talk about Concubine Kang's little hobbies.Most of all, these small things can make people feel kind and congenial, and they don't seem to be deliberately flattering.

After several visits to the palace, the Queen Mother already had a good impression of Mrs. Lin Shangshu. The things she rewarded Jia Min were better than those of other wives, and she was even invited by the Queen Mother to talk in the palace when nothing happened.

He was just casually polite, but Jia Min responded respectfully, knowing that it was good to have such a start, and it was not a day's work to gain a good impression, and secretly remembered that he could not enter the palace too often. The gift preparation also needs to be more elaborate.

Then I heard the news that Qin Keqing had returned to the west, and the Ningguo Mansion was still the same as the original book, and there was going to be a grand arrangement for Qin Keqing's funeral.With such a brave family, Jia Min can naturally foresee that their death is not far away, and it will be considered a dedication if someone quietly reminds Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty's desire to survive was stronger than Jia Min's, so he simply used the excuse of pretending to be sick, and also used this to detain Jia Lian by his side to serve him.So when Jin Yiwei surrounded Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zheng's first room was surrounded inside, and Jia She's first room was fine in the East Courtyard.

Jin Yiwei surrounded Ningguo Mansion, not directly arresting all the people, but telling those who came to express their condolences to leave Ningguo Mansion as soon as possible.Jia Zheng also wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Jin Yiwei, saying that they belonged to the same clan as Ningguo Mansion, and even came forward to entertain relatives and friends with the people of Ningguo Mansion. It is obvious that the relationship is extraordinary, and they have to wait to report Fall out with a saint.

Whether it is the Supreme Emperor or the present, can Ningguo Mansion be spared?In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, the Ningguo Mansion is the eyeliner buried in the capital of Yizhong County King, and it is also one of the lackeys who forced him to take the throne. He didn't see the people from Zhengjiazhuang entering the capital, and he was burned to the point of being unable to govern. up?

Ningguo Mansion will not let Ningguo Mansion go today: even though Qin Keqing came from a dishonorable background, half of his body is of royal blood, and Ningguo Mansion knew this clearly when he asked Qin Keqing to marry him.Now the Ningguo Mansion dares to let her "die from illness", it is extremely arrogant-a subordinate dares to kill the royal blood, do you still have a little reverence for the royal family in your heart?

If the Ningguo Mansion is not dealt with this time, will someone else dare to directly attack the sons and grandsons of the dragon next time, or let him, the emperor, give up the throne? !

Since the two emperors had objections to the Ningguo Mansion, even if the Rongguo Mansion hid far from the beginning, they would be implicated.What's more, Jia Zheng's first house was arrested, which added fuel to the flames and aroused the anger of the two emperors.

When Jia's mother learned that Jia Zheng's first room was detained in Ningguo Mansion except Li Wan's mother and son, she passed out on the spot.After waking up, people called Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian over and over again, and asked them to find a way to get people out.

Jia Amnesty said that he couldn't think about it, because Jin Yiwei's accusation of Ningguo Mansion's crimes to the outside world was beyond the system, that is, he clearly told the world that although Jia Rong is the heir of Ningguo Mansion, he is still white now, and Qin Keqing is his wife. , Such a high-level funeral ceremony should not be held.

Such a crime would implicate the Nine Clans.

"Isn't Lian'er's Yue's family the servant of the Ministry of Rites? Please let his Yue's family write the book, saying that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is the clan wife of the Duke's mansion, and the funeral ceremony is not beyond the limit. And Lin Ruhai, he has always been trusted by the emperor, please come forward Plead for Zheng'er. Zheng'er is just helping out for the sake of his clan, why did he even get detained?"

"There is also Baoyu, he is still a child, he can do evil things, he should be sent home. Poor Baoyu has never seen such a thing before, and he doesn't know how frightened he is. Go, go " Jia Mu kept urging Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.

Jia She and Jia Lian didn't move at all, and Jia She even opened his mouth and said: "Old lady, Lian'er and I are still out to inquire about the news. If Lian'er and I are really allowed to run for the Ningguo Mansion, it may not be said that the Holy Majesty thinks that Lian'er and I are with the Ningguo Mansion. It's the same party, and if we are detained together, there will be no one in front of the old lady."

Jia's mother was unmoved: "Zheng'er and your brother-in-law compatriots, you actually watched him being detained and didn't move around for him." Don't think she didn't catch it, Jia Amnesty just said to inquire about the news, and didn't say anything. He intends to run for Jia Zheng.

Jia Amnesty took a deep look at Jia's mother, and waved his hand to signal Jia Lian to follow him out of Rongqing Hall. The father and son went back to the East Courtyard directly, and only asked Wang Shanbao to go out from time to time to see what was going on in Ningguo Mansion.When Jia's mother sent people over again, it was Mrs. Xing who came forward, saying that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian had gone out to find a way out.

But Jia Amnesty himself actually came to the Lin Mansion at night to ask Lin Ruhai what he should do.Lin Ruhai thinks that Jia Amnesty is doing a good job now: the emperor has already set his sights on Jia's family, and now the people outside have done a lot of mistakes, so it's better to wait for punishment honestly - the new emperor is just at the time of establishing his prestige, and the Supreme Emperor also wants to be punished. Someone vented his anger.

Because of Mrs. Wang's actions, Jia Zheng's first room has become notorious in Beijing, and even Jia's mother is often called old and confused.

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's reputation is not good, and Jia Amnesty, who has been ostracized by them, will naturally get sympathy.Especially the Supreme Emperor who is afraid of being ostracized and the new emperor who is being evacuated will feel Jia She is more pitiful than others.
