The Ring of Red Mansions is far from the heart

At this time, in a resplendent courtyard next to the Zhen family mansion, a hale and hearty white-haired old lady was sitting in front of Zhen Ningyuan's bed with a look of pity, and kept cursing: "Who killed a thousand swords?" Scared my good grandson like this!" Turning around, he scolded the servants who followed Zhen Ningyuan, "You short-sighted, won't you step forward to protect the uncle when you see him being bullied? ? What is the use of our Zhen family raising a bunch of trash like you!"

All the young servants and the chief followers were scolded so much that their necks shrunk, it was really pitiful.This old lady is the current Ding Haishenzhen of the Zhen family. In the eyes of the Zhen family, as long as there is this old man, their Zhen family will be able to live a prosperous life. Who made her the emperor's nanny!

As soon as Zhen Ningyuan returned to the Zhen's residence, his whole body collapsed.During this day, he fell into the water and was frightened again. The uncle of the Zhen family who had been pampered since he was a child fell ill, and his whole body was burnt out.

At this time, the medicine has been taken, and the person has not yet woken up, even if he is sleeping on the bed, he is still talking nonsense.From his intermittent voice, the old lady of the Zhen family got a rough idea.

The old lady Zhen kept knocking on her agarwood cane, shaking her fingers and pointing at the children and grandchildren who were standing below and listening to the training with their heads bowed, angrily, "Say! When did Jinling City have such a group of lawless murderers? It’s gone! Have you been a dog for being an official all these years! Hurry up and arrest those two lawless boys! Beat me hard! If you beat me to death, I’ll be the one!”

The Zhen family below all looked at each other in blank dismay, arresting someone?How to catch?Don't mention how many guards followed Prince Zhongrui's An Guogong, even the two of them alone, they can't just arrest them, unless they want to do the opposite!

Everyone was silent, and the old lady Zhen was very dissatisfied, "Why! Isn't it just two boys from outside? You dare not do it? When did the descendants of my Zhen family become so timid! If you are not at home, you people will lose your mind?! If that is the case, the old woman will be ashamed to death!"

All the children of the Zhen family pushed me and pushed you, and finally Zhen Yingjia's second brother Zhen Yinghe was selected by everyone and became the leader.I saw him bite the bullet and stepped forward and said: "Old lady, those two are not ordinary people, one of them is Jia Huan, the new nobleman in the capital, An Guo Gong, and the other is the youngest younger brother of the current emperor. Prince Rui! Let's... my elder brother made a thousand promises before he left, and we must not provoke these two, and even if we do meet, we should stay away. Who knew that nephew Ning Yuan..."

The old lady of the Zhen family was startled, she really didn't know that it was the two people who collided with Zhen Ningyuan that brought about this catastrophe.Although she is the emperor's nanny, others don't know. As the emperor's nanny, she knows very well what kind of temperament her nanny has. She is a very tolerant master!The battle for the throne of the emperor's generation was more bloody than the current generation's. It can be said that the emperor rose to the throne on the blood of his brothers.

What's worse is that when she was the emperor's nanny back then, her heart was towards the emperor's other concubine who was born in the south of the Yangtze River and was related to the Zhen family.Back then, it was so difficult to be the emperor, and it was her handwriting!The old lady didn't know if the emperor knew what she did, but she didn't dare to bet.For the emperor to be able to ascend the throne in such a dangerous environment, and to sit on the throne stably, that method cannot be justified by being peaceful.

It can be seen from the current concentration of firepower against those honorable families in the past that the emperor has not forgotten the knives they gave him back then!It's not that we don't report, it's just that the time has not come.Saying that the emperor took pity on the old officials, Mrs. Zhen laughed.

When the old lady Zhen heard her second son say that the person Zhen Ningyuan offended was Prince Zhongrui, only a few words remained in her mind, "The Zhen family is over".The old lady sat down on the chair and stared blankly at the grandson on the bed who had been loved by her for more than ten years. Slowly, a wave of resentment welled up in her heart.

He raised the Chenxiang crutch in his hand, and gave Zhen Ningyuan a crutch directly, regardless of Zhen Ningyuan was still seriously ill in bed.

"Aw..." Poor Zhen Ningyuan, who was still in a daze from the fever, was suddenly awakened by the sudden pain.When he opened his eyes, he saw his old lady standing in front of his bed with a stern face, and she felt aggrieved immediately, "Old lady, you have to decide for your grandson!"

The old lady Zhen was unmoved, and looked at him bitterly, "Say! Why did you provoke those two people? Are you going to push our Zhen family into the fire pit!" Back then, she spent a lot of money. It took so much effort to protect the entire family of the Zhen family, and it was because of the milking of the emperor that they bought the rich life of this big family just now, but now, her descendants are not only unable to push the family to a higher peak, but the Zhen family is on the verge of defeat. In the hands of these people!

"I...I, I, how do I know that those two people are Prince Zhongrui and Duke An..." Zhen Ningyuan's voice was so low that he could hardly hear it.

"Don't my nephew know?" Zhen Ying said, "Even if you don't know what those two masters look like, you should still be able to tell that they have a distinctive aura, right? Even if you can't see come out, but you should also be able to tell that the guards around them are not ordinary people? Even if you can’t tell, you should know that the boat they took was the one that the emperor used when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. There are still seats left! Our Zhen family still has a small model of that ship! Don’t tell me you haven’t seen it!”

Zhen Ningyuan's head is getting lower and lower. To be honest, he really didn't notice this. Born in Zhen's family, all kinds of people came together to flatter him since he was a child, saying that his eyes are on the top of his head. Too much.As a result, the second uncle he had always looked down upon pointed at his nose and scolded him. He was so out of breath that he rolled his eyes and passed out.

"..." Second Uncle Zhen, who was speaking impassionedly and with great interest, suddenly let out a "crack" when he saw this situation, and almost choked himself to death.

The room was silent for a while. After a long time, Mrs. Zhen sighed, waved her hands, ignored Zhen Ningyuan who was lying on the bed, got up first, and led everyone out.

Coming to the "Rong En Hall" where the old lady usually sits and sleeps, the old lady Zhen sat on the couch in the middle, and looked around at her children and grandchildren standing quietly underneath.These children and grandchildren used to be her pride, but unfortunately, now that such a big event has happened, these children and grandchildren who are usually smart and clever, or full of official authority, are like phoenixes that have shed their hair, and even a little hen Not as good!

Close your eyes, the most important thing now is not to pursue them, the most important thing now is to think about how to get the Zhen family out of this matter!

That night, the spies of "Shenyin" sent a message, "At the third watch, four carriages came out of Zhen's mansion and went in four directions. Seeing that the carriages are heavy, they must have carried a lot of precious things. thing."

Jia Huan smiled, and glanced at Situ Yuan, "How is it? My master will do the math, and there will be no inaccuracies!"

Situ Yuan patted his head helplessly, "Yes, yes, Master Huan, great advice!" After speaking, he gave him a timely thumbs-up. "Tell the brothers to follow closely and see where the carriage is heading."

"Yes!"

In the days that followed, Jia Huan and Situ Yuan waved their sleeves and did not take away a single cloud, leaving only a big dark cloud to the gentlemen in the Jiangnan officialdom.The two just dropped a big bomb in the south of the Yangtze River, and then went to play around by themselves, euphemistically called "honeymoon".

Jia Huan is already too happy to think about Shu, if he hadn't received the news that Xichun was going to get married in the spring of next year, he and Situ Yuan would still be able to continue playing!

By the time they returned to the capital after their honeymoon trip, it was almost New Year's Eve, and the group of them patted their asses and left gracefully, leaving behind a vibrating Jiangnan.

Previously, Zhen Yingjia took two daughters to the capital to participate in the general election, and not long after, he received a message from the old mother in Jinling City, saying that his restless eldest son had provoked Prince Zhongrui and Duke An.Zhen Yingjia was taken aback, but the capital was so far away from Jinling, he really couldn't quench his thirst.As a last resort, Zhen Yingjia could only get things done in the capital first, and then think about other things.

In his thinking, as long as his daughter becomes the emperor's concubine, then this matter will be solved easily. For the sake of the empress, Prince Zhongrui should not hold on to this matter.

Unfortunately, the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny.

As soon as the purpose of the draft came out, the whole scene was boiling. How many years have passed, let alone the general election, even the annual minor election has not been held for many years.Now the maids in the palace are all old people who have been in the palace for many years. Those adults with girls in their families said that it should have been chosen a long time ago, and the girls in their families are fully prepared for this.

Even if he can't enter the current harem, isn't Prince Zhongrui still single?Princess Zhongrui has many people staring at her.What?You said he has formed a contract with An Guogong?It's okay, two men can't have monkeys together, so doesn't Prince Zhongrui really want a son to take his place?As long as Prince Zhongrui has this heart, their girls will have a chance!This sorghum, you should wash up and go to bed!

All of a sudden, officials in the capital and all over the country sent their girls to the capital one after another, and suddenly the whole capital gathered together, making it very lively.

The two girls of the Zhen family were pretty good in Jinling City, but when they arrived in the capital, Zhen Yingjia and his wife discovered that the girls of their family were also the kind of girls who stood out among the beauties all over the world. goods.

Mr. Zhen is in a bad mood, not only him, but other ambitious families have resorted to all kinds of means, thinking that their girl can reach the sky in one step.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the general election, there would be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and the salt merchants had previously raised the price of salt, so that the people in the salt-producing area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River had no salt to eat, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River were almost about to riot.

All the salt merchants and all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River are all crossing their legs, ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.Chaozhong received an urgent report from Babaili, and before everyone could react, a lot of cheap table salt appeared from nowhere, shocking the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the beginning, salt merchants spent a lot of money to buy these low-priced salt, and even happily called these people who sold low-priced salt fools.In their view, even if they have a lot of salt in their hands, they can't support so many salt merchants to buy it together, can they?I believe that these low-priced salt will be sold out in a short time, and they not only get these low-priced salt, but also further control the economy of Jiangnan, why not do it?

Who would have thought that these salts seemed to be sold out!Many salt merchants who bought this kind of salt unknowingly replaced all their family assets with white salt. Salt is nothing else. Some big-hearted people even borrowed money to buy those low-priced salt. They believed that in this salt war, they would definitely win in the end.

Then, today they gave them a fatal blow.Today's decree, An Guogong presented a new salt-making method, and the salt produced by others will be several times that of the current salt-making method, which is completely enough for the people of the whole world to eat freely (...), so the court It was decided that from now on, the salt will be priced by the imperial court and sold at fixed points.

For a while, all the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River could only hold the salt grains piled up in the warehouse without tears.The direct consequence of this incident is that those families from the south of the Yangtze River who have girls to be elected are all powerless, and have no money to pave the way for their girls.

Before everyone could recover, a piece of news caught them off guard.Due to her advanced age, one of the emperor's more favored concubines, Concubine Chen, was seriously ill. After seeing it, the imperial doctor directly said that this Concubine Chen might not live for three months.It just so happened that three months later it would be the day of the general election, so it would be unlucky, so I made a statement today. If this is the case, then the timing of this year's draft is too wrong, and the matter of the draft will be over.

"..." Many people were all covered in blood by today's move, this is so maddening!This is the emperor's general election, and it's not like the folks, just make a fuss.These girls who signed up for the big and small elections are all stranded in the capital. Their families think very well. The current harem has no chance for the time being, but there are so many good husband candidates in the capital.

Look, the king of Jingning County now has only one main concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and eight concubines, but none of them are standard!Who else, Prince Zhongrui, even the main concubine is still vacant!There are so many young talents, and these beauties don't have to be hanged on a tree, right?

Who knew that before these people started to act, it was revealed that Zhen Yingjia, the president of the Jiangnan Institute of Sports and Humanities, knew foreign countries, betrayed the country for glory, and ignored the interests of the people in the big scene. Such people really can no longer set an example for the people. It's time to fuck!

So, when Zhen Yingjia was still holding the throne of Prince Zhongrui and Concubine, he was sent to prison by the present day, and along with those who followed him, none of them were left behind.Of course, those who have quick brains and handed in the nomination certificate are not counted.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month of this year, when Situ Yuan and Jia Huan returned to the capital, what greeted them was the overcrowding of the Jinyi Institute.
