[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

Wang Xifeng went back to Rongguo Mansion in a sedan chair. He had heard too many things and couldn't figure it out all the way. He went to Jiamu's house and told Lin Wei what he had said. After joking with him, he found an excuse and went back to his yard. .She didn't even dare to think about the deep meaning in Lin Wei's words. Now that there is a famine in Rongguo Mansion, no one can see who is good. Even her own aunt, Mrs. Wang, tempted her to do that kind of thing, even though she was young and experienced. Qian doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, but can Mrs. Wang not know?She only talked about it herself, and if something happened, she had to take care of it. It was thanks to her that she finally understood it.

However, if something really happened, since she knew about it, shouldn't she discuss it with the old lady first?Wang Xifeng entered the room with a sullen head. Ping'er was teasing Qiaojie, so she said with a smile: "Grandma is coming back now? The second master has been waiting impatiently, but it's done?" Wang Xifeng's heart moved, thinking of Lin Wei Even if this is the case for her, the old lady holds Lin Daiyu on top of her heart, if something really happened, he would definitely not ignore it.What's more, Lin Wei really didn't say anything in his words, so it's better not to make random guesses. If something goes wrong and something goes wrong, Lin Wei's intentions will be blinded in vain.

Wang Xifeng wanted to calm down at this point, shook his head and said: "It's too late, my cousin said, sister Lin's marriage is going to be kissed by the emperor, I don't think anyone has to think about it anymore."

Ping'er was also surprised when he heard this, and asked the little girl to take Qiaojie out, and opened the curtain for her, and the two went into the back room one after another, saying: "This is really a noble family, the emperor likes both siblings. "

"Stupid girl." Wang Xifeng laughed, "What do you mean 'both siblings'? Didn't the emperor just look at cousin Lin and say something nonsense when he proposed marriage to younger sister Lin?"

Ping'er blushed, and stopped talking embarrassingly, and then Wang Xifeng said again: "I have something serious to tell you, we will take back all the accounts we have kept outside, and burn all the account books if they are cleared. As much as you can chase, it will be smoothed out as soon as possible.”

Ping'er was startled, and hesitated: "What is grandma going to do? But something happened?"

The corner of Wang Xifeng's mouth twitched, and she looked very handsome, and said: "It's a good thing, your second master has to take care of it, and Wei'er will be able to trust you after a few days."

"This is really a great thing." Ping'er said, "It's just...he just became an official, didn't he? Don't just fool you, right?"

Wang Xifeng sat at the table and pondered, narrowing his eyes slightly with a calculating look on his face, and said: "I see that Brother Wei is not the kind of person who supports others casually, not to mention, I have already thought about it, no matter whether I can get it right or not." Son, this thing can't go on anymore. The money is collected, and no one else can take it out no matter how hard it is. When the time comes for your second master to settle down, let's buy some properties, which can fill the gap to some extent. From my own stomach."

While the two were talking, Jia Lian also came in from the outside. Hearing the end of the conversation, he casually said, "When can't you fill your stomach? The old lady is waiting for you, why did you come back first?"

Wang Xifeng and Heping looked at each other, and they both took a deep breath, and they almost told him to listen, then smiled and said: "I'm back to the old lady, the emperor wants to kiss sister Lin's marriage, and there is no need to talk about it in the future One more thing, Cousin Lin asked me to come back to say good news to Second Master, and said he wanted to find a future for you."

Jia Lian stood there for a while, and said in disbelief for a long time: "Cousin Lin is so capable just one day after he came to court? How did cousin tell you? Tell me in detail." Now in The life in the mansion is not as good as it was before, Jia Lian was tightly controlled by Wang Xifeng, and he lost the money to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and he was not happy. Hearing this sentence suddenly, it was like seeing hope again.

"I didn't say much, I'm afraid he seemed to have a chance, I thought no matter what, we have to collect something to send to my cousin to express our love, whether he likes it or not, it's our heart. "Wang Xifeng was thinking about what kind of rare things to give. There is nothing left in the treasury right now. She was in a difficult situation when she was in a difficult situation. After thinking about it, she said to Ping'er, "I remember that there is a set of jewelry in my dowry. Dongzhu's gold-faced noodles are the best. I originally wanted to keep them for my eldest sister, but now I can't take care of them. There is also a set of three glass screens, a kang screen, a hanging screen and a folding screen. Take them all and wipe them. Clean up and clean up."

Ping'er saw that Wang Xifeng was so desperate that she even took over the foreign account, knowing that she had bet everything on it, so she took someone to fetch it without saying a word.Jia Lian stared at Wang Xifeng in a daze, seeing that she was used to holding it in her hand, and she was not willing to let him spend any money, but now she even took out the dowry for his future, he couldn't believe it, he hesitated and said : "You only have such a few good things, take them out now, in the future our sister..."

Wang Xifeng smiled as always: "At this juncture, it is naturally the second master's future that matters, how big is my sister?! Besides, if the second master is successful, sooner or later he will be short of a girl's dowry?"

After all, Jia Lian felt a little sorry, and he, who was always eloquent, was stunned and didn't know what to say, until Ping'er fetched something, even a little bit of himself, and said, "This is what I came up with." When my grandma gave me two pieces of Shu brocade, I made a set of Kang sheets, bedding covers, pillowcases and pillow covers when I had nothing to do. There are also big and small curtains and door curtains, all of which are neat. Take it with you too."

Looking at this wife and concubine, Jia Lian's throat was a little choked up, and finally said: "I, I will definitely put this heart away in the future, let's live a good life."

Ping'er's face turned red, but Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Can you see us now?"

Jia Lian blushed from her embarrassment, the three of them chatted casually for a while, wiped the things and put them in the small storeroom, preparing to send Jia Lian over to thank Lin Wei when he took a rest.

Let's say that Lin Wei entered Wenyuan Pavilion the next day, and sure enough, Liu Lun called them together to discuss the matter of the governor of Guizhou. In fact, the governor also exists in other places. Guizhou's regional characteristics and the characteristics of scholars and peasants should be slightly modified. Lin Wei is responsible for re-writing the transcript according to the revision suggestions put forward by several adults.After a few adults pass it on, the new regulations will be finalized, and then the most important thing is actually to recommend who to go.

This matter is strange to say, but within half a day, there were rumors in the court, saying that the emperor was hesitating between Zhen Yingjia and Jia Yucun, and it was a serious headache.No one really knows how these two people came out, but Liu Lun, Zhao Yin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, they just listed the outline here.

After noon, Tu Hong entered Wenyuan Pavilion with a dark face like a gust of wind, Xia Shouzhong followed closely with a stack of papers, walked to Lin Wei's desk, straightened up and put it up, then fell down with a crash, almost filling the entire room. On his small table, Tu Hong said: "These papers have just come up, and you will separate them out every time in the future. Put them away for now, and pass them around to the two above, and tell me what you think." Lin Lin Wei Wei picked up the two above and took a look around, it turned out to be an impeachment note for Zhen Yingjia, this move is really too fast, isn't it?Lin Wei handed the note to Liu Lun who was sitting right, and then heard Tu Hong's cold voice say, "I was just saying that Zhen Yingjia is a seasoned person, and this impeachment note came up, what absurd things are they talking about!"

Lin Wei looked at Tu Hong's domineering aura, and sighed inwardly: It's really not easy to be an emperor, first of all, you have to be an actor, he is really good at singing and writing!It was completely different from the one he had always seen in Prince Rui's residence, he didn't know this person anymore.Recalling the way Tu Hong cried when he begged Tu Yan to go to Yunnan, even he felt that it would be a pity if this person did not become emperor.

Everyone had circulated it once, and finally returned it to Lin Wei's hand. Lin Wei's gaze secretly scanned everyone's face, lowered his head, opened the booklet in his hand, and read it again, then he heard Tu Hong say: " Why don't you talk anymore? Come, tell me."

Shang Rong said: "Returning to the emperor, from the humble opinion of my humble ministers, Master Jia's words are well-organized, and it seems that it is not completely groundless. I also ask the emperor to issue an order to investigate clearly."

Speaking of Shang Rong, he is also an unusual character.Shang Rong was born in a famous family in Fuzhou, Jiangxi. He was praised as a genius by the local people since he was a child.After three years of hard work in the Imperial Academy, he let go of his foreigner and became governor of Taiyuan. As soon as Shang Rong took office, he showed his talents and pleaded for the people. In five months, he picked three families of local tyrants who ruled the roost. In three years, the emperor had received dozens of papers to impeach him.This Shang Rong was escorted back to Beijing, and was interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple. Three months later, he was reinstated as an official, and was appointed by the emperor's relatives to be the governor of Yanzhou.However, he also only worked for less than three years, and was then transferred to Linjiang Prefecture, and finally was escorted back to the court again in only three years.Shang Rong became famous because he was interrogated three times, and the dandy with good deeds gave him the nickname of "three consecutive murders in ten years".So after being interrogated for the third time, although Shang Rong was excellent in eloquence and was innocent again, he was finally unemployed and returned home. The Emperor thought of him with a headache, and he really couldn't afford it.

When Shang Rong was dismissed, Tu Hong had just ascended the throne, so naturally he didn't have the right to speak. It wasn't until a year later that he became interested in talking about this "ghost debate" hero with Tu Yan one day. When he returned to Beijing, he was awarded the official department to Shizhong, also known as the "Yanguan".The majesty of this magistrate remained undiminished, and within a year he dismissed six officials of the fourth rank and above, so Tu Hong said that he had finally avenged himself, and was promoted to be the prime minister of Dali Temple, in charge of criminal affairs.This Guozijian sacrificial wine was just promoted in the middle of September last year, but this time Chunwei was promoted again after taking the deputy examiner, and directly entered the cabinet.

Not to mention gossip, let's say that after listening to Shang Rong's words, Tu Hong's expression did not change, and his eyes turned to the other three people, that is, Liu Lun, Zhao Yin, and Yang Qingyu, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace.

With Shang Rong making the point, the other people also shared their own thoughts. Tu Hong was the one who couldn't rub his eyes. Since he brought up the matter, it must not be good.What's more important is that Jia Yucun also mentioned something in the memorial, saying that when Zhen Shiyin was in Jinling, he colluded with Prince Yizhong secretly through the money song, and his desire to move was not in vain. In order to get rid of the crime, he murdered the prince.Although this matter is mostly suspicion, there are only sporadic circumstantial evidence, but no matter who read it, they are thinking, the reason why the emperor is so angry is probably because of this one thing?

Now Zhen Shiyin is living in the capital with his head shrunken and his words and deeds cautious. Although the incident has passed for more than two years, it may be easy to investigate. If he is away from the center of the whirlpool, after two years, he will have to walk around and make friends. It's much colder, and there are frequent officials. If you want to tamper with those old things, I'm afraid it can no longer be compared with the time when he covered the sky with one hand.

Tu Hong sold himself to the cabinet, but on the second day the court was furious and scolded Zhen Shiyin bloody.The emperor was used to being moody and angry, and he trembled and almost wanted to vomit blood every time if he had a ghost in his heart. However, some people had experienced it and could take it lightly.After Tuhong relieved his anger, he called Jia Yucun to come out, and finally said arrogantly: "I think what you said is in order, so I will let you investigate this matter thoroughly. I will give you three months. If you investigate If there is no mistake, I will severely punish you for the crime of chasing after the wind and spouting blood."

Although Jia Yucun's excerpts are abominable, and it is a matter of catching wind and shadows, but it is related to the royal family, and even the officials dare not question it.However, Zhen Yingjia was sent back to the mansion before she had time to react, and the Zhen mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Zhen Baoyu won 42 of the top three in the palace examination, and was awarded the post of Governor of Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province. Because Zhen Yingjia had intended to keep him in Beijing, and before the date of his appointment, he was making connections and wanted to find a errand for him first. .Now that the incident happened, Zhen Yingjia didn't expect to be bitten by Jia Yucun, so she couldn't help thinking that it was a bad thing, so she went to Shu Zhen Baoyu, who was young, and begged the emperor to forgive him and let him take up the post.Tu Hong thought that Zhen Baoyu was only about the same size as Lin Wei, and was just a playful child a few years ago, so he approved his entreaty with a big stroke of a pen, and encouraged Zhen Baoyu to take up his post.

Zhen Baoyu returned to the mansion and said the emperor's words of encouragement to him. Zhen Yingjia thought that the emperor was thinking about the old love, so it should be no big deal, not to mention that Prince Yizhong committed a crime at the beginning, so the emperor was worried about how to get rid of him. Having made up her mind, she only asked Zhen Baoyu to concentrate on her errands and not to worry about family matters, so Zhen Baoyu bid farewell to her parents and set off on the road.

Besides, Lin Wei finally sorted out the old affairs of the Zhen family today, and Zhao Yin gave him the paperwork of the imperial governor of Guizhou, which had been negotiated in the past few days, and said: "The emperor is paying attention to this matter, your article Well done, kindly sort out the wording and show it to me."

"Yes."

Lin Wei took the booklet and went back to her seat. Seeing that everyone else had already eaten, Zhao Yin said, "After eating first, it won't be too late to tidy up in the afternoon."

Lin Wei smiled treacherously, took out a food box, and said: "Just now, I sneaked out and brought it back because of the lack of people. I have always felt uncomfortable in my nose for the past two days, and I don't want to go to places with many people. I will eat outside. Just fine."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yin also laughed, and said: "It's so windy and air-conditioned outside, it will be cold if you eat it, don't make your stomach upset, just use it here, even if the emperor comes here after noon, the smell will dissipate early."

Lin Wei responded and went to eat in the outer hall, and sent the food box back. When he came back, those people still didn't come back.So after chatting with Zhao Yin and having tea, Lin Wei went back to sort out the booklet Zhao Yin gave him: "Master Zhao isn't going to eat anymore?"

"In the past few days, the imperial doctor asked me to cleanse my stomach. The lunch meal was somewhat too greasy, so I stopped." Zhao Yin said.

Because it was not yet time, Lin Wei copied the scriptures one by one while chatting casually with Zhao Yin, and found that there were still many vacancies that had not been filled in.These are all mentioned first, and the official department will arrange them after the emperor approves them. Lin Wei looked at them for a while and asked: "Master Zhao, I think there are quite a few vacancies here. I have a cousin." Now I donate a fellow acquaintance, can you make up for one?"

Zhao Yin nodded and asked, "Is it appropriate to do things?"

Lin Weidao: "It's the natal family of Rongguo Mansion. Now it's only managing directors in the mansion. It's a humble man who knows how to advance and retreat."

Zhao Yin originally held the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it is not a big deal to install someone, so he said: "It's not difficult, you don't need to fill it up, after the emperor's approval, I will fill it in for you when you go to the Ministry of Officials." You don’t even need to give gifts when you go through the back door, Lin Wei thought about going back and talking to Jia Lian in a good manner, so as to live up to Zhao Yin’s trust in him, and thanked Zhao Yin for continuing to transcribe Do not copy.

But now that Lin Wei has just entered the court, he will definitely not cause trouble for himself. After the next day, he happened to meet the emperor again at Tu Yan's place, so he told Jia Lian about seeking a job for him.Tu Yan looked at him dumbfounded, and that Tu Hong had a straight face, and said in a muffled voice, "He has just become a little Zhima official, and he has learned to go through the back door? Do you think I'm raising idlers for your family?!"

Lin Weidao: "As the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you are worthy. The emperor's father-in-law, my family strives to improve and know how to serve you. Isn't that a good thing?" When will you remember to cancel me as a son-in-law? !

Tu Hong looked at Lin Wei with a tragic face, and was terrified by his father-in-law's call, then turned to look at Tu Yan's completely darkened face, and finally burst out laughing, Tu Yan had already kicked Lin Wei out.
