Daisy in the Red Chamber

Under the rumors, the new admiral of the Nine Gates added fuel to the flames. For a while, Longkodo’s concubine killing his wife became the headline news in the capital. Li Si didn’t care about it, and still swaggered through the market, but it’s okay not to go out, as soon as he goes out, he just goes out I went back lying down.Long Ke was so angry that he took the housekeeper and slaves around to search for the person who beat Li Si.Li Si was covered in blood, crying loudly saying that the child was gone, making a big fuss and even alarming the Queen Mother.

As the second empress of Emperor Shunzhi, the Empress Dowager was not as favored as Concubine Dong E, and she had no children in her life. After hearing about this incident, she sympathized with Hesheli, and seemed to see her own shadow in her.At Yi's order, the imperial physician went to Longkodo's mansion for diagnosis and treatment, but found that Li Si had been injured in his early years, and it was impossible for her to conceive. The so-called miscarriage was just her own nonsense.

Long Ke was stunned for a moment, but after Li Si cried and said a few words, he took pity on him again, and kicked out the imperial doctor, saying that he wanted to hire a famous doctor so that Si'er could have a child. Li Si's body is also good.As soon as these words came out, the capital was boiling, and many principals came forward to scold Longkodo. The concubine and concubine have always been raised under the principal's wife, and the sons and daughters are raised in front of the concubines. Which family's rules are this? His Tong family can afford to lose this face, but the other Manchu relatives can't afford to lose it. They force their own men one by one, and the uncle and father play the impeachment of Longkodo.

For a while, Long Kedo became a street mouse, and everyone shouted and beat him.At this time, the queen mother brought Hesheli and Longkodo's sons and daughters closer to the palace. Seeing Hesheli who was as old as a 50-year-old woman, the queen mother couldn't help crying, " Sin. It's all sin."

"It is the concubine's fault to make the queen mother sad." Although Hesheli was unwell, she still performed a complete palace ceremony, retaining her dignity as a noble lady of the Eight Banners. Even if her husband didn't give it to her, she would still Earn that respect for your children.

Concubine De, Concubine Yi and others who sat beside her were crying, "Such a good child, such a good Fujin is willing to be ruined. It's just..." Concubine Yi said angrily, but she didn't know what to say. No matter what, Longkodo is Prince Yong's uncle, the emperor's brother-in-law.

"Doing evil, it's not about cutting off children and grandchildren." Concubine De said after chanting a sentence.

The Empress Dowager fell into deep thought, and the faces of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Dong E family appeared in front of her eyes. She tried to stay out of the fight back then, but was still involved. Fortunately, the Emperor was filial.This Yue Xinghe is a good person, even though he is young, he can be seen to be filial, but with a father like that, he might not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

"Yes, Fujin, why don't you be tougher, you are Fujin?" Concubine Tong coughed and said, but suddenly found that she had no position to say these things. After all, she was just a concubine, but the emperor's concubine with her identity They are all noble, and the only one who can really resonate with Hesheli is the Queen Mother.

"Fu Jin, children are the most important thing." The concubine took Hesheli's hand and persuaded her. She was actually born on a thin horse in Yangzhou, and she was a favorite, but luckily she was self-aware and kept a low profile. Humility, the fourth concubine doesn't really hate her.

All the concubines, you comforted Hesheli one by one, but her heart was ashamed, her eyes didn't fluctuate, she just nodded from time to time, and said, what you said is true, I understand, and most of the rest of the time she was in a state of depression. The role of the listener, I don't know if she really listened to it.

"Let's make peace." The queen mother who had been silent for a long time spoke, and the room was instantly quiet.The concubines looked at each other with strange expressions. The queen mother, who has always been indifferent to things, suddenly made such a decision?

"Empress Dowager, my concubine..." Hesheli knelt down.

"Get up, the Ai family decides to let you reconcile, the Ai family will give you a mansion for you to live in, and the emperor will give you another second-rank imperial order." What he said was blocked back, but someone arranged for Hesheli to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and said to the outside world that he was with him, and said that Yue Xinghe was young and smart, and the Queen Mother liked it very much.

Longkodo originally wanted to prevent Hesheli from entering the palace, but he sent the empress dowager's confidant and nanny, and he couldn't stop him, but he waited for Yizhi and Li before returning one day?Even the sons and daughters changed their surnames to Hesheli? "No, I want to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

It's okay for the Hesheli family to reconcile and leave, just to give Li Si a good status and help her upright, but the legitimate son and daughter can't leave, or if he is still there, the children will change their surnames?I can't afford to lose this face, and if I don't like it, I can only die in my own home.But before Longkodo went to make trouble, the imperial decree came down, but the title of Longkodo was taken back, and Longkodo was demoted to a commoner and sent to prison. .

The branch of the Tong family hastily disregarded his relationship with him, but they were still implicated. Since then, Tong Banchao has declined, left the center of gravity of the court, and disappeared into history.

Lin Mansion, Daiyu is drinking tea, "Babeile didn't vomit blood?"

"No, princess, Babeile also participated in Longkodo's book of bribes." Qingying said disdainfully, although it is normal for people to fall into trouble, but the speed of turning their faces is really fast, "Babeile is very fast in the court. She is active, and she sent a long letter to King Ruijun, which is really sincere. But the letter is now in the hands of the emperor, so it probably won't go to Guangzhou."

"If I were the emperor, I would talk about the current changes in the capital. By the way, Ming Shang's son-in-law was also implicated. Now he is recuperating at home, but Xinyuan has gone back?"

"Bafu Jin went back to visit as soon as he heard about it, and entrusted the two little ones to Concubine Yi."

"Oh? Why isn't Concubine Liang? Isn't Concubine Liang recovered from her illness? It's fate."

Concubine Liang fell ill this time, and was deliberately delayed by the imperial physician. She thought she would die, but she was alive and kicking again. She also told the Queen Mother that she was pure-hearted and ascetic, and she had some experience in copying Buddhist scriptures. Nothing at all is fine.The Empress Dowager also praised it a lot, and in the past two days, she repeatedly asked Concubine Liang to discuss Buddhist scriptures.

"Is Concubine Liang busy serving the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Yi's son is not around, so it's a good time to win over, but Ba Fujin said that he hopes that the two children will stay away from Concubine Liang." Qingying lowered her voice.

"Sister Xinyuan can see clearly, but it's a pity...some people just don't give up on the south wall." Daiyu shook her head, fourth brother, how are you doing?Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be careful.

After Qingying's report was over, she felt that she was going to go down, and she didn't want to disturb Daiyu's thinking, or miss Prince Yong.

But as soon as he retreated to the door, he collided with Xueyan, "Princess, Xue Baochai begged to see her, and declared that she has what the princess wants."

"Oh?" Daiyu was taken aback, "What do I want? It's really strange." What she wanted was the treasure map of the Xue family.Now the Shi family is in the hands of Kangxi, and the fourth brother also has the Wang family and the Jia family, leaving only the Xue family's share.Did Xue Baochai know?How is this possible? "Let her in."

"Greetings to the princess." Baochai saluted respectfully, her clothes were still half-new and not old as usual, but a jade lock was missing on her chest, which made people think deeply.

"Get up and sit down. Ms. Xue is a rare visitor, and it may be her first visit in such a long time." Daiyu took a sip of tea, did not look at Baochai, and waited for her to explain herself.

"The princess's status is noble, so how can the slaves be so high up? The slaves used to think highly of themselves, and if they offended the princess in their words, they hoped that the princess would have a lot of people, and they would be tolerant. The slaves are here to kowtow to the princess to plead guilty." Xue Baochai said Kneeling down in front of Daiyu again, she kowtowed three times respectfully, bloodstains could be seen faintly on her head, which showed how hard she exerted herself.

"It's another thing if I don't forgive you. Ms. Xue might as well tell you the story. If I'm interested, I can help you." Daiyu looked playfully at Baochai who was kneeling on the ground, "Let's get up and talk. Looking down at you is tiring."

Baochai got up slowly, returned to her seat and sat down, "I have something to offer to the princess, but I just need the princess to agree. This matter is just a nod from the princess."

"Are you here to negotiate terms with this princess?" Daiyu looked at Baochai contemptuously, "Do you know that scholars, farmers, businessmen..."

"Your maidservant knows, it's just that the princess likes this thing." Baochai took out a scroll from his sleeve, "This thing has always been a family heirloom of the Xue family. This kind of painting can be regarded as a reward for the hard work made by the four major families back then, and it can also be regarded as the last means to save life." Baochai observed the changes in Daiyu's expression while talking, but found that Daiyu was not interested, and couldn't help I feel a little lost in my heart. Could it be that what my brother heard is false?The old man of the Jia family saved his status with a painting and forced the second room away, so why is it useless when he comes to his place?Could it be that King Yong needed this painting, but he didn't tell the princess?

Baochai couldn't figure it out for a moment, while Daiyu was calm on the surface, but her heart was also very confused. Does anyone know about the relationship between the map of mountains and rivers and the treasure map?Now that Baochai knows, could it be that Yinhu knows too? That's very bad. Daiyu clenched her fists secretly, but she made a decision. ...to completely abolish the Eight Sage Kings.

"What is this?" Daiyu asked casually, and opened it casually, "A painting that can be bought for a few dozen dollars in the market? Did Miss Xue forget to take her medicine today?"

Baochai took a deep breath and calmed down, "Perhaps the servant should go to see Prince Yong, but Prince Yong is not in the capital at this time, so the servant came to see the princess. Prince Yong is very interested in this."

"Really? Fourth brother likes this painting? Then you can talk about it when fourth brother comes back. You can take this painting back." Daiyu touched the paper and knew that the painting was real, but she still didn't care about it at all. A random roll, and threw it to Baochai, "If there is nothing else, you can go." Daiyu got up, stopped looking at Baochai, and went straight out of the house.

Baochai looked at her back and clenched her fists. Lin Daiyu, you have always had a noble background, a prominent family background, and even a marriage gift from the imperial decree. You are No.1 in the Qing Dynasty, but you wait, I will trample you under my feet with this painting.

"Princess, I hope you don't regret it."

"What do you regret? I regret seeing you now, Ms. Xue, if you can't be Grandma Bao'er, can you still be a flat wife? Don't be so anxious to show off and find another one. You are not young anymore, and you have a good relationship. In the world, I am afraid that no one will want you anymore. Dignified and generous?" Daiyu turned her head and looked at Baochai again, "Housekeeper, have you left?"

"The princess forgives the sin, and the servant will send Miss Xue out."

Daiyu walked a few more steps, then turned her head suddenly, "Wait a minute, since Miss Xue likes mountains and rivers, I remember I have a few good ones in my study, let's give them to Miss Xue to enjoy."

"Yes, my servant, I'll let someone take it." Lin Feng smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xue Baochai. Baochai gritted her silver teeth, but she could only go out. The master issued an order to evict her, so she would not only stay here It doesn't make any sense, it's still self-defeating.

Baochai left through the back door in resentment, and several black shadows followed her. Actually, the pictures of mountains and rivers of five blessings are almost the same. I am afraid that the real secret of the mountain and river map is to ask Kangxi.Daiyu is not worried at all about Baochai asking Yinhu. There is a tigress named Bafujin in Babeile Mansion. Baochai will not send her to be a concubine. Now she wants to send the treasure map to the fourth brother. A Gege's identity, but at least a side Fujin, is a good idea.Fourth brother, you are really blue-faced and troublesome, everyone wants to share a piece of the action.

On Baochai's side, she went out of Lin's mansion, but on the other side, she was stopped by Babeile's people, who invited her to come to the mansion for a while, but Baochai knew the person who came, and it turned out to be the former chief executive of Prince Rui's mansion, who was later given to him. Babeile, now Babeile's confidant, Baochai hesitated for a while and let the carriage follow the visitor.

A few shadows in the dark hesitated for a moment, and shot suddenly, so the horse was startled, the carriage was destroyed, Baochai fell and sprained his leg, and the picture of mountains and rivers was naturally replaced in the chaos, and the real product was directly delivered to Daiyu . "In fact, I have to admire Xue Baochai, who is under the watchful eye of Babeile, and can bring the map of mountains and rivers to Lin's mansion in a grand manner." Daiyu sighed when she saw the real map of mountains and rivers. I don't feel relieved about him, otherwise I wouldn't let my own people get it so easily.

Daiyu thought about it for a while and then mentioned this matter in the letter to Yinzhen, but the situation in Sichuan at this time is a bit chaotic, Chengdu is a basin, the fog persists for a long time, the humidity is extremely heavy, and the soldiers stayed for a long time The body is a bit overwhelmed, but the two armies are at a stalemate, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

"Fourth brother, we can't go on like this. We have to fight quickly, and the fifth brother is also in a stalemate. Why do we feel that someone wants to hold us back and prevent us from going back to the capital." Yinzhen, who has experienced the flames of war, has matured rapidly, thinking about problems There is a qualitative leap.
