[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the screen windows in Yishuijian have not been replaced, and the cool breeze blows past, making people feel refreshed.Lin Wei looked at the blue sky outside the window, but his mind was that he couldn't receive the book. Tu Yan just came back from the palace, which meant that the results of the draft had come out, so he looked away at Tu Yan for a while, and finally asked: " Sir, has Xue Baochai been chosen?"

Tu Yan had already adjusted himself now, although he felt that the kiss was strange in his heart, but after staring at Lin Wei for a long time, there was one place that was always soft. The way this man comforted him before the fire in Jiangcheng, he had really grown up before he knew it.

Regarding Lin Wei, Tu Yan couldn't tell what it was like. He was a child at first, but since he knew about him, and because Lin Wei always acted like an adult, he didn't just act like an adult. He saw it as a child.However, the two of them are close, but the situation has developed to such an extent that it makes him feel awkward, but apart from that awkwardness, he really approves of him, so he is also a blur in his heart, but because Lin Wei hit the little girl I'm used to fighting with him, and I feel a little bit of peace of mind that he can't grasp.

Hearing Lin Wei's question, Tu Yan nodded with a smile, even if he was killed, he would not tell him that he was selected because of his curiosity, and only said: "Well, I have been assigned to Qianqing Palace."

Lin Wei took a deep breath and said doubtfully, "What a coincidence?!"

Tu Yan: "..." I missed it a bit.

However, Lin Wei's thoughts were not on this. Hearing that Xue Baochai was actually chosen, he just felt strange. According to the original book, the draft was not even mentioned, how come here it is so smooth?The entanglement between him and Xue's family is too deep, and Xue Baochai almost destroyed the lotus, so he can't let it go. up.

Lin Wei thought that Xue Baochai was actually ordered by the emperor, and couldn't help feeling even more unhappy. The emperor robbed him of his husband before, and now he is robbing Xue Baochai again.

Tu Yan has been with Lin Wei for so many years, naturally he can understand what he is worried about when he mentions it, so he comforted him: "It's just a girl, you don't need to think about it." There is a little bit of Tu Yan who is also curious. My dear, why do you suddenly lose interest in the matter of the harem now?Even the Empress Dowager refused to propose a general election because of this draft because she thought it was wrong.

"My lord, the emperor is here." A girl's voice sounded at the door.

Before the two masters and apprentices could stand up, Tu Hong had already entered the room like a gust of wind, and seeing him alone writing and the other reading a book, the tranquility moved his heart, and the inexplicable irritability in his heart disappeared. Unknowingly smiled and said: "You two will enjoy the blessing."

"Your Majesty." The two hurriedly got up to salute.

"Sit down, sit down." Tu Hong sat down by himself very comfortably, and saw that Lin Wei had lowered his head and began to write again, so he said to Tu Yan: "Tu Min's matter has been found out, Jinling Zhen The family is 'indispensible', and Zhen Yingjia has a big appetite!"

Tu Hong hated being guessed by the people below, it was just to please him, he was still hateful, if everyone was really grateful, he should put diligence first, if he was dedicated to serving the people, he would give him a bright future.However, these people have good brains, but they all use them to think of ways to win each other and understand their hearts. How much place do ordinary people occupy in their hearts?In such a vast country, there are such a bunch of moths in the imperial court, and every time I think of these moths, I can't even sleep at ease.

Tu Yan took a deep breath in disbelief, and said for a while, "The Zhen family dared to take the second child's life?!"

Tu Hong sneered and said: "In their eyes, the prince who has fallen out of favor is not worth enough to step on him. Why not dare? Is I so vicious in the eyes of these people?" No matter how hateful Tu Min is, he is also a royal, Zhen Yingjia What's more, Tu Hong never thought of taking Tu Min's life. If he really wanted to, why did he do everything possible to get him to Jinling?Tu Min's death directly caused the emperor's unprecedented dissatisfaction with Tu Hong. The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is extremely tense to this day. This Zhen Yingjia really failed to achieve success, so damn it!

However, Tu Yan couldn't believe it, but a foreign official dared to take Tu Min's life, that's too courageous, so he thought about it and asked: "But what does Zhen Yingjia want? What's the reason behind it?" , does the emperor know?"

The corners of Tu Hong's mouth slanted up, and he sneered: "It's just excuses, this is the most hateful thing!"

Lin Wei paused, and blurted out: "Didn't you ask someone to send you?"

Lin Wei was just saying something casually, after all, he stayed out of the matter and looked at things from different angles, but these words made Tu Hong and Tu Yan think of a person at the same time: the emperor!

In the past, no one would have thought that the emperor would take care of his son. However, when Tu Yan was surrounded by enemies in Jiangcheng, if he hadn't used the golden cicada's plan to escape his shell and Tu Hong's persistence, he would have escaped death.Although the two of them had never mentioned this matter, they knew it all too well in their hearts. This was also the fundamental reason why Tu Yan turned to Tu Hong without hesitation in the end.

Tu Hong's eyes fell heavily on Lin Wei, thinking that there is a reason for the things he has been unable to understand, Zhen Yingjia is just a pawn, and the emperor risked Tu Min's life and insisted on falling out with him. The money has been spent, and the purpose is naturally to restrict his rights.Right now, the old ministers in the court are all ready to move. Sure enough, because of his excessive actions in the past few years, the emperor is finally dissatisfied with him!

Naturally, these tuyans could also think that the words Lin Wei once asked him sounded inexplicably again in his ears: "Did the emperor ever think about passing it on to you?" Crown Prince, thinking about it now, I'm afraid it's because Tu Hong was easy to handle back then, right?

Tu Yan raised his eyes and saw Tu Hong's cold gaze, and couldn't help calling in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

Tu Hong came back to his senses and looked away. When he looked at Tu Yan, his expression finally recovered, and he said, "Then let's start with Zhen Yingjia."

Tu Yan said: "The Zhen family has been in Jinling for a hundred years, and its power is deeply rooted. I'm afraid it will not be easy. Does the emperor want to expose the fact that Zhen Yingjia framed the second child? This crime is enough for copying the nine clans, but the persuasion is too weak. I'm afraid that the people below will make wild guesses. Zhen Yingjia is a veteran minister, if he pulls a trigger and affects his whole body, it will be difficult to end, and it will be a small matter, but if he starts to scare the snake, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Tu Hong nodded and fell into deep thought, his eyes swept over Lin Wei's face, and asked inexplicably: "Lin Wei, test you, think of a good way, I will reward you two pretty girls."

Lin Wei: "..." Don't reward me Xue Baochai, right?

Lin Wei put down the pen, held up his wrist and rubbed his chin for a while, and finally his eyes lit up, and said: "Retreat to advance!"

Both of them looked at him in unison, Tu Yan nodded with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Speak in detail."

"The Zhen family is not easy to pull up in Jinling, and the master said that his crimes cannot be made public, so the Zhen family can't move now. If you can't fall, you should hold it first. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. The Zhen family is a century-old family, the emperor can promote him with just a little excuse, as long as he gets him out of Jinling, he will be cut off from head to tail sooner or later, and then he will be considered a beautiful man, isn't it just up to the emperor?" Lin Wei road.

Tu Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, took a deep look at Lin Wei, and said, "That's right, I did see you right. I have a new beauty, let me reward you."

Lin Wei: "..." Does the emperor think my house is not lively enough?

Lin Wei looked at Tu Yan with a bitter face as if begging for help, Tu Hong couldn't help laughing out loud, he had read the story of Lin Wei and Xue Baochai's festival several times as a script, and these words were just to tease him, so He casually picked up an apple and threw it over, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you don't like beauties too? Sure enough, they were taught by the emperor's uncle. How about I reward you with the emperor's uncle?"

Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out the word "good". Tu Yan was already angry, and said angrily, "Your Majesty! He is still young, so don't make trouble with him."

Tu Hong couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear with a smile. After a while, he leaned back comfortably in the chair, took an apple and ate it, and said comfortably: "Well, you are still in the period of filial piety, beauty That's all, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold, and study hard."

Lin Wei paused, the last time he was rewarded with 100 taels of silver when he came back from saving a lover, this time it was only a few words, so the increase was tenfold?Tu Hong could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.It is natural to be diligent and thrifty in the court and set an example, but there are no outsiders at the moment, so it is not rewarded with him, but I am too lazy to make a difference with him, so I turned to Tu Yan and said: "It's just right, my prince can study now. Sending him back to the study room is a step up to the sky."

Tu Yan: "..." Zhen Yingjia could probably die of anger directly.

However, Xue Baochai really ascended to the sky in one step and directly became the person at the emperor's table. The one who couldn't swallow this breath the most was Mrs. Wang. The daughter-in-law who got it flew away like this. The form was so fast that even Jia Yuanchun couldn't do anything. It really made her feel depressed .However, Mother Jia didn't take it very seriously. The Xue family's 30 silver went into her pocket for nothing, and the garden was completed. In this way, Mrs. Wang can save some moths. Her precious jade can't be called this stupid His mother was ruined.

As for how Xue Baochai is in the palace, Mother Jia has far-sightedness much more than Mrs. Wang. Xue Baochai is just a merchant's daughter, not to mention serving tea and water for the emperor. Bit tops the sky.And if she doesn't have any help at that time, I'm afraid she won't survive three to five years in the palace. If she wants to support her, what can they do with the Xue family alone?They can't even find anyone to collect the money they handed over, so they have to rely on Yuan Chun and their Rongguo Mansion?At that time, even if the Xue family had tens of thousands of wealth, they couldn't escape Wang's schemes, so she just watched the two sisters fight with cold eyes.

Mother Jia looked down on Xue Baochai from the bottom of her heart. No matter how good she is, her family background alone is not enough. If Xue Pan is a good person, she can still have some hope. Now she is only relying on her as a girl, and she is still eager to become famous. , without the operation of the father and brother family, who cares about that little money?That Aunt Xue's brain really grew up in vain, and she gave away her good girl's future in vain.

Mrs. Wang still regards Xue Baochai as a good one. How can she stand with her Daiyu and Xiangyun?Thinking about these things, Mother Jia suddenly remembered that the two girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they immediately sent people to pick them up. Although Daiyu had previously refused her to come and stay longer, it doesn't matter if she stays for a few days. This affection came from all over the place. After so many years, Mother Jia could also feel Daiyu's closeness to her.

However, even though Daiyu also thought that she should go to the Rongguo Mansion, it's just that Hehua's body is in serious condition now. If she couldn't let go after leaving for ten days, she found an excuse and refused. The mandarin duck who came to pick him up said: "Now I can't go away seriously. My sister will go back first. In a month's time, I will let go of the matter in my hands and go to visit my grandmother." I brought some fresh pastries, pointing to Yuanyang one by one, "Grandmother likes these light pastries. I was thinking of asking someone to send some over. My sister just brought them back when she came. This big box belongs to grandma. Soft and light, these three are for the girls, this one is from the second cousin Bao, he said he likes the almond flavor, I asked people to put more. This is for the second sister-in-law Lian, who likes the refreshing one , my sister, please send them according to order."

Yuanyang memorized them one by one, and said with a smile: "There must be no mistake, then I will go back and report to the old lady earlier."

Daiyu admired the mandarin ducks and sent her out, seeing that it was getting late, thinking that it was time for Lin Wei to come back, her grandmother always came to pick her up when she thought of it, and it was already this hour without even looking.Thinking that she was so casual because of getting close to her, Daiyu couldn't help shaking her head and laughing in comfort, then turned and walked towards the lotus place.

However, just as Daiyu got off Taiji, she saw Qingyan coming in from the outside and said: "Miss, someone from outside has brought something, saying that the emperor rewarded the uncle. This is the list."

Daiyu accepted it suspiciously, and couldn't help being even more surprised when she saw that it was a hundred taels of gold, and asked, "Is it for what?"

Qingyan smiled and shook her head, and said: "It's just a delivery, how can they know, the girl will wait for the uncle to come back later, and she can ask to understand. Lin Butler has already invited tea, and he left after a little sitting. It's time to go out now."

Daiyu nodded and said: "Forget it, it must be Wei'er who met with the prince, don't worry about him." After saying that, she took Qingyan to the lotus place.

The lotus is embroidering flowers carefully. When she saw Daiyu coming, she smiled and asked her to sit down. She also got up and sat down carefully on the other side. Seeing that her complexion had improved, Daiyu asked, "Sister?" How do you feel today?"

Lotus nodded and hummed.

Although her voice is gradually getting better, but after so many years of not speaking, He Hua still speaks very little, usually it is Daiyu who says she is listening, and the two of them are used to communicating like this, so they don't find it strange.All of a sudden the big servant girl came in and said, "Girl, it's time to go for a walk."

So the two of them each put on thin cloaks and went to the garden together. This season is when all the flowers are blooming, and the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing. They both like to sit in the garden, so every day around sunset Let's go for a walk together, Daiyu said: "Sister is tired now, so I don't need to do some sewing work, the seriousness of holding the needle and kneading the thread is tiring, and the eyes will feel uncomfortable after staring at it for a long time."

Lotus smiled and said, "Only occasionally."
