The Honor of the Red Chamber

Let's talk about the current Daiyu, although her delicate and sentimental heart is not diminished, but she lives beside her father, and she decides everything in the backyard of her home, and no one dares to disobey her, so everything goes smoothly, and there is really no need to be cautious At the place, years ago, her father hinted that she was of the right age and would choose a son-in-law for her to be engaged to. She was melancholy and shy at the moment, but she firmly believed that her father who loved her would definitely find a husband for her in the next life, so she didn't take it to heart.

Who would have thought that someone sitting at home would cause disasters to come from the sky——suddenly, an imperial decree designated her to the Seventh Prince as his concubine! !

Outside the middle gate, seeing her father receiving the imperial decree from her father-in-law with a sinking face, Daiyu's complexion was pale, her heart was in a state of confusion, her eyes darkened, and she fell down limply.

"Miss, ma'am..."

"Yu'er..."

After a period of turmoil, Lin Ruhai reluctantly settled Daiyu who had passed out, and quietly handed a purse full of silver bills to the father-in-law who hadn't left or showed an impatient look. Squeezing his purse, he was very satisfied with the thick stack of bank notes. Besides, he also knew the future identity of the Taifu in front of him. Say goodbye with satisfaction.

Only then did Lin Ruhai heave a sigh of relief. Daiyu's fainting was extremely untimely. If the father-in-law went back to the palace to add fuel and jealousy, Daiyu and even the Lin family would inevitably be accused of disobedience. Lin Ruhai already felt very sorry for her only daughter. Fate is too bad, and I don't want her to displease the royal family if she is not married.

The royal family, the royal family, is a place where the courtiers dare not and cannot guess. As a rule, the prince can marry one concubine, two concubines, eight other wives, and countless concubines. He shuddered as he was destined. He had always hoped to find a simple and noble family like the Lin family for his daughter, and find a son-in-law who could be with his daughter, instead of letting his daughter compete with many women for a husband. Unfortunately, in the end, He was the one who hurt his daughter.

What and why are the crown prince and the seventh prince arguing? Lin Ruhai has been the emperor's confidant for so many years, and his ability to figure out the meaning and insight into the world is even useful to the emperor. What's more, these two are students he taught. well?He didn't dare to say that these two had no affection for his daughter, but besides love, it was probably because of his Lin family's position and power. The crown prince certainly wanted to win over the Qingliu faction, but why didn't the seventh prince take advantage of it? Protect yourself?I'm afraid the emperor is also aware of the scruples of these two brothers who are the same mother, so he will let them win him over?

However, the crown prince was too impatient and impulsive, and actually competed with the seventh prince for a daughter in front of the emperor in the hall, and the seventh prince was a bit more aggressive. Such a contest full of loopholes would not relieve the emperor's suspicion. And where did he kill his Lin family and his daughter?

How could his delicate and transparent daughter bear such a reputation?

Daiyu's illness was first spread to the palace. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai spoiled her daughter too much at the beginning. Even if her daughter sneezed, she wished to replace her with her own body. The impression that the daughter of the Lin family is weak and weak, although some complain that such a daughter-in-law does not meet my expectations, but considering the future, it may not be a blessing if the seventh prince, who is the same mother and younger brother of the prince, marries a powerful concubine with a strong background, it would be better Marrying someone he likes, the emperor was silent when he thought of these concerns, so he didn't think much about Daiyu's fainting when receiving the order.

Since Daiyu passed out, the Seventh Prince Shui Jue, under the guise of caring, came to the door almost every day to ask for an interview, but was respectfully rejected by Lin Ruhai. He was not discouraged, and he did not know where to search for a bunch of prescriptions. Sending all kinds of precious medicinal materials and flowing water to the Lin Mansion, even being scolded by the emperor several times, he did not restrain himself at all. The thick skin is rare in the world. If you want to say that the most lively thing in the capital since the Chinese New Year is What?Definitely this one!

The Lin family was already aristocratic, and it was already extremely eye-catching to become a relative of the emperor. Because of Shui Jue's disturbance, it was even more difficult to keep a low profile. Jealousy, all kinds of world states are endless.

To the emperor's relief, the prince did not show up once, as if the person who looked gloomy in front of him last time was not him at all. According to the report from the dark guard, the prince's life and rest were as usual, reading, riding, shooting, and doing errands, and there was no omission. In the office, the person is a little thinner, but very energetic, and there is no grudge between him and Shui Jue, and he still takes care of Shui Jue very much.

The Jia family's reaction to this matter was naturally overjoyed, because such dirty things happened the day before yesterday, and they thought they had found the culprit, but after hearing Jia Rong's statement, it was clear that there was something else going on, and for a while, they couldn't figure it out , making people panic, although Jia Mu moved out Baoyu, she temporarily stabilized the attacker. After all, she was unhappy, and she was old. After hearing that Daiyu received the order, she fell ill. Down, the thorough investigation in the backyard suddenly became anticlimactic, and nothing came to an end.

Lin Ruhai had also heard about these things, and vaguely understood that it was not a glorious thing, even though Baoyu had already moved out of the garden, but his impression was bad, and he refused to send his daughter to Jia's mansion this time, lest her daughter be seduced and spoiled. Jia's mother didn't like it. After all, the old lady was very kind to him as a uncle, so she came to apologize in person. Since he entered Beijing, he was concerned about people gossip. However, this visit made Jia's mother very happy. Although she was disappointed that Daiyu didn't come with her, she became much more energetic. She dragged Lin Ruhai to talk for a while before letting him and Jia Zheng go to the foreign study.

Lin Ruhai was extremely puzzled by Jia Zheng's willingness to become the new patriarch. The two of them didn't play any riddles and asked directly. Because of the close relationship between Jia Zhen and King Zhongshun, she has not been restrained since the current emperor ascended the throne, but Concubine Jia found out that the emperor did not like King Zhongshun, and she might make some moves in the near future. His reputation is tainted, but for the sake of the Jia family, he can't care about it.

Lin Ruhai frowned after listening to Jia Zheng's explanation, he was noncommittal, and went to invite Jia Rong after returning.

As expected, Jia Rong moved to Shuimu's mansion in the past few days, and lived like a fish in water, feeling refreshed every day, but Shuimu's back hurts, and he deeply felt that he was leading a wolf into the house.

Lin Ruhai's people circled around and only learned of Jia Rong's whereabouts from Guandu who was staying behind in Ningguo Mansion. They were secretly wondering, but they still came to find him without hesitation.

At that time, Jia Rong was only wearing Shi Qing's robe loosely, with his sleeves rolled up high, holding a stick of charcoal solemnly. Lying lazily on the opposite couch, with his chin propped on one hand, covered with a thick velvet quilt, his black hair is loose like silk satin, the blush on his face has not faded, and the red mark on his neck looks like a smile. It's not a smile, the eyebrows and eyes are full of style.

"Are you ready? Are you ready?? Are you able to draw? Don't brag about yourself and make people laugh!!!"

The beautiful woman lying on the opposite side, her eyes were twitching, and she was shouting in a voice that was not tender at all. Upon closer inspection, the exposed shoulders looked delicate and smooth, but they were stiffer and colder than sculptures.

Jia Rong rolled her eyes, beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, her hands were still incessant - he is a master of disguise, how could he not be able to handle a sketch, and his lover looked down on others too! ! !

At this moment, people from the Lin family came here, and Shui Mu heaved a sigh of relief. After tossing for a full hour, is it easy for him to maintain this coquettish posture?Whoever the hell tells him that being a "cat special" is easy and leisurely, he will be in a hurry with whoever! !

As soon as his shoulders collapsed, Shui Mu was in a hurry to send Jia Rong away. Jia Rong looked at the half-finished sketch reluctantly, "Forget it, come back and continue!"

"..."

"Do you know who your father chose to support?"

As soon as he arrived at Lin's mansion, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Rong straight to the point. Jia Rong was taken aback for a while, then frowned and thought for a while, Fang slowly said, "Although the Jia family is one of the four major families, it is not what it used to be. From generation to generation, not to mention other families, it is the Ningrong Second Mansion, Master She's appearance, Jinshan Yinshan can't help him spend it, and although my father is still in the body, he is not a high-ranking, powerful and influential man. The old man, although he has a heart to fight, but takes his political position too simply, he is being used in vain without knowing it, and now he is devoted to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and he doesn't ask about everything, but it may not be a bad thing."

"Having said that, it depends on whether others will allow you to withdraw. On this road, there has always been only one who hits the south wall and cannot turn back. It only depends on you being appointed as the leader of the Southwest this time—"

Lin Ruhai took it for granted that the emperor's promotion and demotion was due to the position of the Jia family. This is really an emperor's usual way of dealing with annoying and troublesome old officials. Besides, Jia Rong has no heirs. If he dies on the battlefield, then The Ningguo Mansion can be regarded as doomed, what could be more ruthless and thorough than this, and there is no need to worry about infamy? —— Lin Ruhai never thought that the origin was due to Jia Rong's absurdity. From this point of view, Jia Rong was sent to the southwest, and it really wasn't wronged. The emperor didn't punish his nine clans in anger. .

Jia Rong frowned, and then stretched out, "There is another reason for this. After all, I took advantage of it, but the emperor gave me a chance to make a choice. If I win back to the court, I will naturally earn money for my Jia family." I bought an amulet, but if I can't - then it will be scattered, who can protect whom for a lifetime!"

Lin Ruhai was a little puzzled by the faint indifference in Jia Rong's words, but he didn't think deeply about it. In his mind, no matter what attitude Jia Rong took towards the Jia family in private, it was not too much. Without the background of the Jia family, he can still stand out, but carrying the increasingly corrupt Jia family has become an obstacle for him to fly high. He even trembles all day because of this, and his life hangs by a thread, and he is still willing to use hard work. In exchange for the Jia family's livelihood for the military merits of killing, it is filial enough!

For such a relative and junior, Lin Ruhai is still very willing to raise a little bit of maintenance, and then told Jia Rong that Jia's mother asked him to take care of the marriage of the two springs, and he was willing to also pay attention to Xichun, so that Jia Rong would be less in the future. Jia Rong is naturally grateful for a concern. After he cut off his previous social circle due to his age and qualifications, most of the circles he stays in now are steady and promising people who have climbed up step by step. Even if one or two are single, lacking in appearance, character or talent, there are not many outstanding writers in the circle of generals. With Xichun's heart, I am afraid that he does not like generals. He is having a headache and is afraid that he will travel to the southwest After returning from the trip, Jia's house was confiscated, and Xichun also went to the nunnery. She had intended to entrust Lin Ruhai to her, but now that Lin Ruhai took the initiative to mention it, he was relieved of Lin Ruhai's eyes.
