The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

The old doctor expressed his helplessness. He tremblingly held Xue Pan's hand that was tightly clenched on his skirt, and said, "Naturally, the holy decree ordered me to come here to treat Old General Wei's condition."

Xue Pan blinked suspiciously, raised the prescription in his hand with the other hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then the Holy Majesty also called you such a prescription?"

The old imperial doctor laughed softly: "The Holy Majesty specifically ordered that if the young master is in the Wei mansion, let the next official prescribe this prescription. If not, then change the prescription."

After a pause, he added: "It doesn't cost so much to change, and of course the effect is not so good."

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, knowing that Tu Zhen insisted on making him a prisoner of this favor, he let go of the hand holding the old doctor's lapel a little boringly, and said softly: "The boy is rude, please don't blame the old man."

The old doctor shook his head helplessly. Even if he wanted to blame him, he didn't have the strength nor the courage.

After bidding farewell to the old doctor, Xue Pan rode his horse and went to the palace.Tu Zhen has been burying his head in reviewing memorials before the dragon case in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for ten years. Xue Pan has been worried that if things go on like this for a long time, whether Tu Zhen will get cervical spondylosis early, and then get cerebral thrombosis due to cervical spondylosis.Therefore, Xue Pan has always been keen on letting Tu Zhen do all kinds of health exercises, but Tu Zhen all refuted it on the grounds of indecent behavior.

This is also one of Tu Zhen's most persistent decisions so far, not to stalk Xue Pan, to stalk him, to back down and give in.The other thing is that no matter how soft Xue Pan is, Tu Zhen insists on marrying Xue Pan into the palace on the third day of May.

Silently, he went around behind Tu Zhen, jumped up, and kneaded Tu Zhen's neck, Xue Pan asked critically: "So stiff, did you listen to my order and call the imperial physician?" Give you a neck and waist massage every other hour?"

Tu Zhen sighed, stretched out his hand to pull Xue Pan to sit in his arms, and said, "How can I have that kind of skill, the daily memorials pile up into mountains, and if I relax a little, I can't finish them all."

"I can't finish it today, and I'll deal with it tomorrow. The world is so big, and different things happen every moment. How can manpower do it all? If you waste your body like this, you won't be afraid of what will happen in the future." Half disabled." Xue Pan said, turned around and closed the memorial on the table more and more unwillingly, got up and pulled Tu Zhen and said: "Come out with me for a walk."

Tu Zhen couldn't help laughing, he couldn't bear to let Xue Pan be disappointed, so he had to get up and follow him out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In early spring and March, it is still sunny and sunny.The spring breeze with the fragrance of green grass blows towards the face, which makes people feel refreshed and very comfortable.

Xue Pan squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed: "This is life. If you become an emperor, you have to stay in the three inches of land and work all day long, and you don't have to enjoy yourself. There is still a lot of people in the world fighting for the throne." What do you mean, wouldn't it be asking for guilt?"

Tu Zhen always pretended not to hear Xue Pan's rebellious remarks from time to time.Stretching out his hand to hold Xue Pan's soft and greasy palm, the two of them strolled in the spring-colored imperial garden, listening to Xue Pan's nagging because of concern, Tu Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth in a good mood.I just feel that the exhaustion of the day has been swept away, and I feel more energetic.

After wandering around the imperial garden for a while, the two found a gazebo and sat down.Immediately, a diligent servant girl came over with tea, melons, fruit and snacks to make arrangements, and then quietly retreated.

Xue Pan took a sip of the milk tea, and the sweet and greasy aroma of the milk tea permeated his mouth instantly. Xue Pan narrowed his eyes with some enjoyment, looked at Tu Zhen who was calmly drinking Biluochun, and said with disgust: "The tea is bitter. Very, I don't like it the least."

Tu Zhen chuckled, casually placed the teacup on the stone table, and asked, "Why did you come to the palace so early today?"

"I want to discuss something with you." Xue Pan said, sternly said: "It's the Tanchun girl of the Rongguo Mansion. Now because of Nan'an Concubine's troubles, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married in the future. See if you can You can’t point to someone directly to her, or—”

"This is difficult." Tu Zhen shook his head and refused without thinking.Seeing Xue Pan's mouth pouted in disappointment, Tu Zhen explained: "The impeachment of outsiders in the historian's family is not enough. I have sent someone to check it out. The evidence is solid and ironclad. His house will be raided soon. It's over, Jia's house will be here soon. Wouldn't it be a harm to someone to marry someone at this time?"

Xue Pan suddenly realized that what Tu Zhen said was also true.After all, in this world, how a woman lives in her husband's family is inseparable from the power of her mother's family.If those dirty things in Rongguo Mansion were exposed, even if the family was not ransacked and the family was wiped out, they would still have to be turned into ordinary people by Tu Zhen.At that time, no matter where the girl of the Jia family married, I am afraid that the lintel's family background would not match.Yingchun before was fine, after all, she married early, even if her husband's family complained, they couldn't say anything.But Tanchun has to hurry up at this moment.If it is true that Tu Zhen is married as Xue Pan said, I am afraid that both families will have to complain about Tu Zhen's inappropriate handling of things.

After figuring this out, Xue Pan stopped pestering him.Instead, he chased after Tu Zhen and asked, "Is the matter of the historian important? Is it ransacking the house or exterminating the family? What about the women, children and children in the family?"

Tu Zhen shook his head, and said: "This time, dealing with the lineage of the four kings and eight males involves a lot. Therefore, apart from punishing the chief culprit, he will not commit crimes. However, he is not allowed to be a commoner or even a serious person within three generations. There must be some official punishment."

Xue Pan understood that Tu Zhen wanted both fame and benefits.But thinking about it, Tu Zhen's main purpose is to let these disobedient ministers who sit on a vegetarian diet and have two hearts.This time, he only pursued the chief evil man, but let go of the female relatives, women and children. This behavior won him praise from the government and the public for his benevolent virtue, and it also stabilized the hearts of those corrupt officials and officials, so that they would care about the safety of their family and not make trouble. When the boat is broken, the fish dies and the net is broken.Killing two birds with one stone, it was really a good plan.

The two chatted for a while, Tu Zhen was concerned about political affairs, so he went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to continue critiquing papers, Xue Pan was bored, so he simply went to the west Chaoyang Palace to find the two princes.

Chatted with the two princes who were writing their homework silently for a while, until at night, they took the two poor children who hadn't seen their father for a long time to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for dinner, and then they went out of the outer hall for a meal, and then they separated. back to the palace.

Xue Pan was led back home by the little eunuch who led the way.

After another two or three days, the imperial court really issued an order to search the two historians. The crimes were eight major crimes, including shortfall in foreign appointments, handing over foreign officials, lack of strict control, and greed for ink and food.The two sons of historians working abroad were immediately escorted to Beijing.The huge Shifu was copied, and the sage was generous and benevolent, and did not pursue anyone else. Therefore, all the women, women and children in the mansion were demoted to common people, and 200 taels of resettlement money were given to the mansion.Won the praise of the world.

It is worth mentioning that, after the Shi Fu, which has been inherited for several generations, was copied, all the proceeds were only 5 taels of silver, some very common antique calligraphy and paintings, and shop fields.This has been accumulated for several generations until now, and only such ideas have been copied.Even the middle-class families of common people and merchants can't compare.Rao Shifu has always advocated diligence and thrift in housekeeping, always preaching that things are not as good as before, but the result this time is too far-fetched.Everyone watched coldly, and became more and more critical, discussing that everyone in the Shi family really didn't think about their own mistakes and failed the emperor's kindness.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Tu Zhen looked at the secret report in front of him and sneered, and said to Xue Pan, "Sure enough, he is brave enough to accept such a head-losing thing."

Xue Pan was not surprised that the members of the Jia family were so greedy and short-sighted. He was just curious about who took things from the Shifu without Wang Xifeng's involvement.

Telling Tu Zhen the question in his heart, Tu Zhen pointed to the secret report and said with a smile: "I can think of it. The old lady of Rongguo Mansion is no longer paying attention. The second wife is busy fighting with his niece and daughter. Naturally, the elder The wife of the second room took the things over. But later the wife of the second room also found out, and naturally wanted to share a piece of the pie."

As he spoke, he urged Xue Pan again: "Didn't you say you want to mess with your cousins ​​and leave? Hurry up!"

Xue Pan nodded, and said casually, "It's coming soon."

It's really coming soon, the time Xue Pan spoke this time, the company specially arranged for Jia Lian to hook up with a Jiangnan woman, Jia Lian was confused, and after half a year with Hu Xiao, this woman was already four months pregnant.He was crying in front of Jia Lian all day long, saying that he was a broken body, and it didn't matter if he couldn't enter the Hou's mansion.It was Jia Lian who swayed her, not the identity of the Rongguo Mansion.But the seed in his belly was Jia Lian's own flesh and blood. Could it be that Jia Lian just had the heart for this child to be homeless without a decent background?You must know that the doctor has already diagnosed her, and she is pregnant with a boy.

Jia Lian was also very depressed when he heard his little aunt crying and making noise.In order to bring Wang Xifeng back when the Second Sister You incident happened, Jia Lian once swore and swore that he would never accept the younger sister.It's only been a few years now, not to mention raising an outside room secretly, even having children...

Jia Lian suddenly felt a pain in his heart when he thought of Second Sister You, who was forced by the members of the Xue family to have an abortion that day.He became more and more unwilling to take the little aunt into the mansion just like this.

"You don't know how powerful your second grandma is. She has a fierce personality and cruel methods needless to say. Relying on the domineering power of Zhongxinhou's mansion, she doesn't even care about it. At the beginning, your second master also liked her. She even secretly married her as a grandmother. Somehow, she was discovered by our family's dominatrix, who instigated the Zhongxin Hou's mansion to stand up for her, and broke up the two of us, not to mention, and even sent a few things in the stomach of Second Sister You. The one-month-old child was aborted..."

When Jia Lian said this, he shook his head with lingering fear, sat next to the little aunt, pulled her shoulders and persuaded: "You listen to my advice, I also do it for your own good. When your child is ripe, let's cook the uncooked rice After dinner, I am not afraid of anything."

The little aunt snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction, turned around and ignored Jia Lian.

Jia Lian sighed softly, scratched his head a little, continued to push his little aunt's shoulder and said, "You are such a gentle and caring person, you can't beat our hag. I can't even take care of you. You still have to wait outside in peace of mind, and when the baby lands, I will carry the baby to the old lady to beg, and the old lady will soften her heart for the sake of her great-great-grandson, and there will be a show."

How could the little aunt follow Jia Lian's words so easily after being entrusted by Lianying.Immediately curled his lips in disdain, and said: "What am I afraid of? I neither robbed my sister's man, nor mixed up with other brothers, uncles and nephews. I am an innocent girl from a good family, and I followed you I was still a virgin when I was born. Now that I am pregnant with your seed, I can't even enter your house?"

As the little aunt said, she smiled more and more frivolously, and continued: "I heard that your tigress has not recovered since she got redness last year, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear children for you in the future. Do you want to end your offspring like this?"

As he said that, he touched his already protruding belly angrily.

Jia Lian said with a flattering smile: "How can you cut off your children and grandchildren? Don't you still have one in your belly?"

The little aunt glared at Jia Lian, and snorted, "He didn't enter the ancestral clan, and he didn't ask for a position in a fair and just way. What kind of serious heir is he?"

As he said that, his eyes were reddened by grievances, and he was sobbing and crying again and again.

Jia Lian was so entangled that she had no choice but to nod in agreement with the little aunt's request.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng, who had received a report from the Zhongxinhou Mansion in advance, sighed silently, and sat on the edge of the bed silently patting Qiaojie who was taking a nap, feeling dazed and lonely.

The semi-old silver-red soft curtain hanging at the door swayed for a while, and Ping'er walked up to Wang Xifeng with the freshly boiled towel, sighed softly, and said: "Grandma, don't think too much, everything depends on uncle and grandpa. Wang Ziteng) and his concubine make decisions for you. You only need to remember one sentence, even if it is for Miss, you have to take good care of your body. Besides, I will follow grandma all my life, no matter where grandma goes, I will follow .”

A touch of emotion flashed across Wang Xifeng's indifferent and haggard face, and she silently took the medicine bowl in Ping'er's hand and drank it down in one gulp.He casually placed the empty bowl on the black lacquer tea tray held by Ping'er, and sighed with emotion.

"Having lived for most of my life, after all... I still have to go."

He even blatantly led people into the Hou Mansion for resettlement.Wang Xifeng had already obtained Xue Pan's letter before, but she didn't hold back too tightly this time.
