Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Wang Ziteng just entertained several grandparents of the Xue family, and was not invited to be a middleman in the Xue family's property distribution.He knows his sister's temperament too well, he is already a shock in this position, who would dare to treat his sister, Wang Ziteng, badly?But it would be different if he came in person. Wang Ziteng was also aware of his younger sister's domineering behavior. If one failed, the relationship between the Wang family and the Xue family would be ruined.

On the contrary, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng accepted Xue's gift and became a middleman together with historians.

The seal of Xue's shop has been removed, but King Zhongshun is a little troubled.

Jiang Yuhan knowingly poured a glass of wine and held it up with both hands. King Zhongshun pinched his soft hands and saw his soft features and watery eyes with a hint of mist. He couldn't help laughing and asked, "What's wrong, who bullied you?" gone?"

"The slave has seen the prince frowning for a long time, but it's a pity that the slave is incompetent and cannot share the prince's worries." Jiang Yuhan bowed his head halfway, his voice soft.

King Zhongshun took the jade cup, took a sip, put it on the table, his eyes lingered on Jiang Yuhan's face, and said with a smile, "Maybe you can relieve this king's worries. To tell you the truth, I heard that the Xue family has separated. .”

Jiang Yuhan smiled brightly, "That's right, Big Fool Xue lost the position of head of the family, but relied on a few good relatives in the family to share [-]% of the entire clan's property? Didn't I tell the prince all about the last time I visited him at the order of the prince."

"Let me tell you, Master has mixed money into the Xue family's shop, and now Zhang Dehui dare not show up, is it because there is one less person in charge?"

"Slaves only know how to sing songs, but don't understand the business world."

Zhongshun Wang said, "I still want to use the Xue family now. Didn't you say that their family is going back to Jinling? When the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, who else will I use? How can I keep the Xue family now?"

Jiang Yuhan murmured twice, and suddenly said, "Oh, I just remembered, the big fool Xue has a younger sister in his family. The prince wants to use Xue's family and accept his younger sister, so it will be safe. I can't wait to see them. I want the prince to be your backer."

"This plan is very good." King Zhongshun said with a smile.

Jiang Yuhan sighed, and said jealously, "I heard people say that Miss Xue is amazing. De Rong talks about everything, and she even manages the business of the shop. It's just the same. Didn't the Xue family take the fake bird's nest back then? They wanted to harm the Lin family, and the brothers and sisters of the Lin family moved out of Rongguo Mansion in a fit of anger. The servants are old and poor, and they are no match for newcomers. They just want to serve tea and water by the prince's side. But the prince, if you take this young lady Xue You have to be more careful."

King Zhongshun put his arms around Jiang Yuhan, smelled the scent of the person in his arms, and said softly, "My lord hasn't accepted a newcomer yet, so you're so jealous?"

"Which tablet is the slave on, dare to be jealous? It's just because I'm worried about the prince."

"It's just a concubine, so you can find out for the master first."

Jiang Yuhan smiled lightly, "My lord really flattered them. If you are a merchant, send a nanny over there, wouldn't you just bring a sedan chair?"

Fingers lingering on those two petal-like lips, King Zhongshun said in a low voice, "Don't forget that Xue Pan has an uncle. Wang Ziteng is not easy to mess with. It's best for them to agree, eh?"

"The slave understands."

Jiang Yuhan was getting older, singing Xiaodan was actually not suitable, and he seldom sang again, but he was bought into the mansion since he was a child, and he served King Zhongshun well, King Zhongshun still kept him by his side.At this moment, Jiang Yuhan felt that she was a matchmaker.

Xue Pan was still lying on his stomach on the bed. Fortunately, there was an ice basin in the room, so he didn't feel too hot in summer.Xia Jingui served the tea in person, and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiang is a celebrity in front of King Zhongshun. It's rare to come to visit my uncle when he has time. Uncle often talks about you."

Baochan Qiuling brought a few plates of summer melons and fruits, and withdrew, but Xia Jingui said a few more words, and said with a smile, "If Master Jiang doesn't mind, it's not convenient for my uncle now, so I'll be right next to you." Pour the tea and water."

"Thank you grandma." Jiang Yuhan has been here several times. Since he was young, he looked at people's faces to make a living, and he also felt Xia Jingui's temperament. He was blinded and sighed, "Oh, I am really worried now. I am afraid when I come out. Being caught, the owner begging for favors and the west begging for favors, everyone has friends who have talked and laughed and drank on weekdays, so it’s not good to refute anyone.”

Xue Pan stared at Jiang Yuhan's slightly sweaty cheeks and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"It's still my prince. I think the concubines in the mansion are vulgar." Jiang Yuhan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned his bright eyes lightly, and said with a smile, "The prince wants to choose a new concubine. Get close to me. Hey, I burned high incense in my previous life and got the prince's attention, but I can't talk nonsense. You also know that my prince is the prince, and the palace has rewards. Except for the emperor, it is my family. My lord. Some people said that being a concubine in the palace is decent, and they asked me to tell me what kind of place is in the palace. The Taizu made it clear that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics. Entering the palace is just a decoration, just like a vase on a shelf. Jinger. Like the Concubine Jia of the Rongguo Mansion, who used to be a good noble concubine. If she made a mistake, she was immediately reduced to concubine. If you want to intercede, you can’t find a place. It’s different like a prince. Why do so many people want to entrust me with you? If you say good things in front of the prince, the county magistrate might as well take care of it now. The prince has great power. If you say a word, the emperor will give you three points. This Wenlong knows best what the situation of your shop was before, and then he got the favor of the prince. The prince said a word to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor rewarded you again. Alas, this is also your bad luck. You don’t have a good fortune on weekdays, and there is something wrong with the things you bought. Otherwise, we are still drinking outside now. "

Xia Jingui hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't it? This is because my uncle has never been successful, and he has failed the prince. I don't know what kind of appearance the prince is going to choose? What age? I know a few ladies .”

"Grandma, don't talk about it for nothing," Jiang Yuhan said, "This is the first one, you have a good background, and besides, De Rong's speech and workmanship can't be bad, you know the rules and know how to advance and retreat. Age, between 15 and 18 years old I took a sneak peek today and saw that half the room was piled up with portraits sent by outsiders. It was really funny. As soon as I went out, I was almost blocked by Captain Qiu. There was a girl in his family who was said to be very good. Yes, it’s just that I’m impatient to meddle in these nosy things, so I’ll come to your house to hide and be quiet. By the way, when are you going to return home, I’ll come and see you off.”

Xia Jingui flicked his handkerchief and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, it's a joke to Uncle Jiang. When others go back to their hometowns, they always pay attention to returning home. Now we are ashamed, what's the point of returning? According to my opinion, we don't mix If you act like a human being, you will definitely not be able to go back! People fight for their breath, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense! Going back like this now will not be looked down upon by others! It’s really shameful!"

Jiang Yuhan glanced at Xue Pan, and Xue Pan felt his bones go limp. Jiang Yuhan smiled and praised, "Sister-in-law is so masculine! It's rare, it's really rare!"

In fact, Xia Jingui also had selfish intentions. When she returned to Jinling, she was thousands of miles away from her mother's family. Wouldn't she just let others make fun of her when she went back? I'm afraid her mother's family would not know what happened even if she died?He was extremely dissatisfied with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law Zhang Luo's return to Jinling, and now, while Xue Pan is recuperating in bed, he has been urging Xue Pan to stay in the capital to take care of business.Hearing Jiang Yuhan's praise at this time, his bones suddenly became lighter by three points, and he said to Xue Pan, "Master, now Uncle Jiang is here, you have such a strong friendship, and let Uncle Jiang judge, should you go back to Jinling?"

Jiang Yuhan thought it was very funny for Xia Jingui, a hot and impolite woman, but he still said modestly, "This is brother Xue and his sister-in-law's housework. There is no room for outsiders to intervene, but it's difficult for brothers." It's been a long time since I've been out, I guess the lord is going to go back to the mansion from the Yamen, so I have to go back."

Xia Jingui walked all the way to the small black lacquered door facing the street, losing countless smiles, and only turned back to the room after Jiang Yuhan got on his horse and left.As soon as I arrived at the door of the room, I saw Qiu Ling bent over to feed Xue Pan with tea, Xia Jingui leaned against the door frame and said with a smile, "Oh, I just walked on the front foot, and the back of the head is thirsty, Qiu Ling, you have a good heart I'm here to serve you."

Knowing that Xia Jingui was hot and spicy, Qiu Ling hurriedly packed up the cups and stood up, Fu Yifu exited the bedroom with the cup tray in hand.Xue Pan had already been punished by Xia Jingui so that he lost his temper and didn't speak, but just smiled innocently, "I called Qiu Ling."

Xia Jingui sat in the chair in front of Jiang Yuhan and sneered, "You're on the wrong side. To be honest with you, our chance has come." Seeing that Xue Pan didn't quite understand, Xia Jingui whispered, "You didn't listen to Mr. Jiang? Does Prince Zhongshun want to choose a concubine? Doesn’t the eldest girl of our family still have a husband’s family? The female college is not allowed to stay, and if you stay here, you will become enemies. You have a good friendship with Uncle Jiang. Let’s beg him to send the eldest girl away. Isn't the Zhongshun Palace a ready-made good marriage?"

Xue Pan frowned, "Nonsense, how can my younger sister be a child for others!" In Xue Pan's heart, there is no more outstanding daughter's family than Xue Baochai. Although the Rongguo Mansion has no faith, how can...

Xia Jingui sneered, "I'm looking forward to her going to the palace to be a princess? But you have to see if there is such a good fortune in our family's background! If you don't dislike my sister's background, how can you play tricks on other people's Rongfu? Besides, Ji What's wrong with the concubine? The noble concubine of the Rong Mansion speaks nicely, isn't she also the emperor's concubine! Didn't the younger sister want to enter the palace before but failed? Is it different to enter the palace? After having children, you will be a little prince. Can you support us? If you have the ability, I need to spend all this time, isn't it a plan? My sister is a high-minded person. Some people have come to the official media these days. Can my younger sister like it? You just mention it to your wife and sister. If you are unwilling, who can force your younger sister to fail? Besides, it’s not just that my younger sister will be depended on for life. When we become King Zhongshun’s in-laws, the business shop will be taken care of by King Zhongshun! Zhongdian, even a shop that sells soy sauce and vinegar, also has Gongmenhou’s Mansion as the backstage! If no one is behind, our shops can last for a few days! You lost the comprador of your ancestors. Mother!"

"Am I starving you?" Xue Pan shouted angrily.

Xia Jingui reached out and smashed the tea cup at hand, and shouted, "I'm not hungry now, what about in the future! Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat! Since I'm married, you will have a good day! You will either be in prison or beaten." Lawsuit! Do I have bad intentions? If our family had nothing to do with Uncle Jiang, you would think that the palace would come in just as soon as it was said! My sister entered the palace, but she was wronged!"

There was constant noise in Xue Pan's side, Xue Baochai was in the room with his mother, and could vaguely hear some words, and sighed faintly.

Aunt Xue frowned and said impatiently, "Ying'er, go and hear what's going on outside?"

Ying'er came back after only going out for a while, but her face was a bit embarrassed, she only bit her lower lip, lowered her head halfway, and glanced at Xue Baochai from time to time, Xue Baochai smiled when she saw this, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Slave, listen, servant girl, it seems that grandpa and grandma are talking about marrying the girl to the palace." After speaking, his face turned red.

Xue Baochai was in the middle of snoring, and stopped at this time, looking at her mother, Aunt Xue reprimanded Yinger, "You are talking nonsense, go out and play, don't talk nonsense, call the grandma over, the noise in the sunny day is getting worse There are no rules."

When Xia Jingui arrived in Aunt Xue's room, she greeted Aunt Xue first, and then explained the matter.

Aunt Xue was trembling with anger, pointed at Xia Jingui and said, "Okay, you are all good. You are restless thinking about husband and child, but want to arrange your sister's marriage. You are expecting me to die early, right?"

Xia Jingui didn't even twitch her brows, she pouted her mouth and said, "You old man, don't say that, who doesn't know that the uncle is the most filial. Isn't the uncle kind? Can you treat your own sister outside? With the girl's It would be a shame to marry an ordinary person because of her looks and ability."

Aunt Xue was about to say goodbye, but Xue Baochai reached out to stop her mother, and said softly, "Okay, I understand, sister-in-law, please go back and rest."

"I knew my sister understood." Xia Jingui smiled, "Then I'll ask your brother to talk to Uncle Jiang."

"Sister-in-law, please take a step." Xue Baochai smiled lightly, bringing out a chill, "Understood?"

Xia Jingui's smile froze, he nodded slightly, lifted the curtain and left.

Aunt Xue had already shed tears, she held her daughter's hand and was speechless, Xue Baochai's eye circles became hot, her throat stiffened, and she suppressed the wetness in her eyes for a moment, Fang Qiang smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about your daughter." , What kind of life is not living. I didn’t think power was good before, but now I understand the family’s decline. The younger brother is the head of the family, and he quickly took the Qin sister out. It’s not very interesting to live in this mansion! Because of the division of production , The people of the tribe can see clearly! Uncles and aunts can’t really help us. My aunt treated us so affectionately at the beginning, I didn’t expect... After all, it’s my brother’s incompetence, and even my mother can’t live a peaceful life. If we can Being a concubine concubine in the palace can be regarded as a backer for the family's business, which is also beneficial to the elder brother. Mom thinks this is the reason?"

Aunt Xue said, "The man surnamed Jiang said he was a celebrity before King Zhongshun, but he was just an opera singer. How can you trust such a person?"

Xue Baochai just lowered his head and wept.

Aunt Xue said, "Marriage is a major event in a girl's life. Don't be careless. I'm just a girl like you. How can I be willing? My son, don't worry. I'll have the cheek to ask your uncle for an idea. "

===========

Lin Jinyu is now leading a fashion, holding an umbrella.

The scorching heat was unbearable, and Lin Jinyu had to work in the cabinet every day. The cabinet was actually okay, there was an ice basin, and the supply was timely, and it was not hot.It's just that on the way back and forth, I don't know what's going on in the palace. Except for some trees and flowers in the imperial garden, there are at most green potted plants in other places, and there is not even a shaded place on the road.Lin Jinyu was afraid of the heat and the sun, so he went to the most famous Qiqiaozhai in Kyoto to order an umbrella.

This umbrella is very delicately made. It is covered with green brocade. The brocade is embroidered with small bridges and flowing water. The tassels woven around the side dangle and hang down. In Lin Jinyu's words, it is a very tasteful umbrella.

The first day when Lin Jinyu took it there, everyone was puzzled. Xu Shuo deliberately looked at the scorching sun through the window, stroked his beard and said, "Scholar Lin, is it raining today?"

In fact, at this time, literati and scholars, and scholars who knew a few words, were more popular wearing fans. Lin Jinyu tried to cover his face with a fan, but maybe his head was relatively big, so he had to cover half of it. After ten days, his face began to break down, and the top was white. It was dark underneath, and it took him several days to apply pearl powder to restore the previous tender whiteness.Lin Jinyu smiled, "Xu Xiang was joking, isn't it hot, it blocks the sun."

When the cabinet was dispersed that day, people were fortunate enough to see Lin Jinyu walking on the stone road in the palace with a small umbrella.But there were also people who cheered, Wu You Master Wu held up a more beautiful, more exquisite and more gorgeous umbrella on the second day, with sapphire as the bone and silk as the face, this umbrella, coupled with this figure with ice-muscle fairy face, throws fruit The allusion of Yingche almost re-enacted.Lin Jinyu inquired about it, and made one for Tu Wenfei in the style of Wu Yousan.

Tu Wenfei didn't want to die, he slapped Lin Jinyu on the forehead, and said, "Aren't you a fool, once this umbrella is stretched out, people will think that I have something to do with Mr. Wu."

"Hold on," Lin Jinyu said, "If I'm not a waste of money, this umbrella will be used by you and Mr. Wu. I want to use it, but I haven't grown into such a beautiful face, have I?"

Tu Wenfei still shook his head, Lin Jinyu threatened, "Okay, if you don't support me, people will definitely think that I have an affair with Mr. Wu. Ha, Mr. Wu is like a fairy, and it is an honor to have some scandals with him."

Tu Wenfei had no choice but to accept it.

Lin Jinyu was complacent, when the curtain slammed, Ma Nao entered the room and said, "My lord, the general manager of the Xu family has invited the lord and my lord to come over."

"Hey, Uncle Baozi is here?" Lin Jinyu put on his shoes, Manao stepped forward to tidy Lin Jinyu's clothes, and said in a warm voice, "Boss Bao was invited by the housekeeper to serve tea in the flower hall."

Tu Wenfei asked lightly, "Did you invite your grandma to go with you?"

"This is not."

"Okay, let's go over quickly, there might be something wrong." Tu Wenfei brushed Lin Jinyu's hair, held Lin Jinyu's hand and walked out, Lin Jinyu shouted, "Umbrella, take the umbrella."

In fact, when Lin Jinyu first saw Wu You holding an umbrella, he wanted to take advantage of it, but Wu You didn't care about him, thinking he was too ugly, Lin Jinyu hurt her self-esteem, and slandered Wu in her heart with contempt After a few words of worry, he immediately made an identical umbrella for his family Xiaofei.Tu Wenfei's appearance was no worse than Wu You's, but he lacked a certain style. Lin Jinyu thought it might be because Tu Wenfei was too upright, so he lost his evil spirit.

Arriving at the Xu Mansion, Lin Jinyu got off the car very proudly, and Tu Wenfei each held a small umbrella to block the sun, and even peeked at Tu Wenfei's handsome profile with a smirk... Baozi couldn't take it anymore, coughed, "Jinyu Young master, hurry up, you won't miss an inch with this step, you can't go from the door to the house until it's dark."

Lin Jinyu glared at Baozi, took Tu Wenfei's little white hand, and walked away in three steps at a time.

Depend on!Wu You is here too!cough!And Tu Jingchen!

Wu You's eyes fell sharply on Lin Jinyu's hand holding Tu Wenfei's wrist, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, which suddenly sank again.The two greeted Tu Jingchen, Lin Jinyu greeted Xu Ziwen again, and sat in the bottom seat sadly.

Xu Ziwen smiled, "I called you here for something important. Ziyou, tell me what you found first."

Wu worry, word Zi worry.

Wu You's voice was very mellow and sweet, but the content was not very good, "Master Tuolin's blessing, Xue Xun confessed that the money returned to the treasury by the Zhen family came from Anyue Bank, and few banks can give out millions of taels of silver at once. I did some research and found that the background of Anyue Bank is a bit complicated. Now, most of the dignitaries in the court have contacts with Anyue Bank. Now, Anyue Bank is a leading big bank, but it is very low-key. The shopkeeper of his family runs around all the year round Between Pingan Prefecture and Siam, gold and silver are exchanged. In our dynasty, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 15 taels of silver, while in Siam, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 20 taels of silver. However, the price of gold in Kyoto and other provinces has not changed much , we can know that the gold in Anyue Bank does not come from China, and there may be some changes in Pingan Prefecture."

"A change?" Lin Jinyu glanced at Xu Ziwen, then scratched his head, "Is there a gold mine in Ping'an Prefecture? Or where do you get the gold?" This Anyue Yinzhuang is really capable, and it knows international trade these days.

"Gold and silver are not the focus now." Xu Ziwen said, "Ping'an Prefecture is located on the border, and there is a garrison led by the king of Xining County. At the beginning, the number of people was not more than [-], not many. But if there is really an unknown amount of gold in Ping'an In terms of the state, it is difficult to estimate the number of this garrison. So this time, there is something that you need to do. First, invite the king of Xining County to return to the capital; .”

Mr. Lin Jinyu thought that his words were elegant, and he even said please. Wouldn't it be good if you just said that the king of Xining County judged the country?But there are tens of thousands of people, how can they jump three alone to have a bird?Isn't it enough to stuff people's teeth?Isn't this courting death?

Xu Ziwen seemed to know what Lin Jinyu was thinking, and said, "Sending 3000 people to you is just to block the car. Sending 3 people will not need you. There will be generals and marshals who will directly charge into the battle. Now that the country has been in peace for a long time, rash actions will inevitably attract court officials. Besides, the soldiers in Ping'an Prefecture are not alien rebels, and using troops to encircle and suppress Tianhe will hurt Tianhe. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and if you take down the Xining County King, you can directly take over Ping'an Prefecture. This matter depends on how to deal with it."

"Wenfei, when the king of Xining County returns to the court, you will temporarily act as the military representative of Pingan Prefecture." Tu Jingchen said in a deep voice, "I will entrust this matter to the three of you!"

Lin Jinyu had the illusion that there was no return for a moment, and she glanced at Xu Ziwen, Xu Ziwen smiled slightly, "Go back and prepare, and there should be no more than 20 people with you."

"Sir, our sudden disappearance will attract suspicion?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Tomorrow there will be a decree to send King Rui to inspect the river workers. The two of you will accompany you."

Lin Jinyu was thinking about whether or not to find out with her husband at night, and she hadn't eaten a few taels of silver, so why was she going to be cannon fodder?
