Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Jinyu returned home in a hurry. In fact, he didn't need to inquire about the affairs of the Jia family to know the affairs of the Jia family. Both Rongning and Ningfu were copied.However, the emperor did not offend the female relatives, and a thousand people were locked up in the Grand View Garden.

Although the garden is still the same garden, but now it is not the girl master Zi Yihong Yuan who is served by gold slaves and silver maidservants in Xiaoxiang Hall. Dozens of masters and slaves, as long as they are women, are all housed in the five clear mansions of Hengwu Yuan. The door is closed, the courtyard door is locked, and no one can see it except water and food.Wang Ziteng is still very capable, so he forced the pregnant Wang Xifeng to give birth on parole, and took him home to live in.

Wang Xifeng has been pregnant for nearly eight months. Although she was lucky enough to come out, her parents-in-law and her husband were detained, and she was worried day and night. Shi Shi had to persuade her several times a day.Wang Ziteng sent someone to Lin's mansion to deliver the post, just in time for Lin Jinyu to break up in love and hide in Xu Ziwen's mansion to heal his wounds, but he didn't see anyone.

As soon as Lin Jinyu returned to the mansion, Xu Yulin told Lin Jinyu about the matter. Lin Jinyu changed his clothes again. Seeing that Lin Jinyu's eyes were a little swollen, Xu Yulin asked the maid to fetch water to give him a warm compress, and asked softly, "Did King Rui bully you?" You? I heard from Ping An that she cried all the way out of Prince Rui's Mansion."

"No." Lin Jinyu still wanted to save face in front of women, and she said stubbornly, "In the future, don't accept gifts from Prince Rui's mansion, and just say I'm not here."

"Understood, do you want to prepare some food? The two uncles are in prison, and they will suffer if no one takes care of them." Xu Yulin said, "There are also the female relatives who are detained in the garden. My grandmother is over eighty years old, and the Zhu University My sister-in-law is a chaste woman, and Lang Geer is still young. The three of them were extra merciful, and they were not included in the detention list, and allowed them to continue living in the garden. But the old and the young are getting hotter every day. , let’s get some heat-relieving pills or something.”

"Well, prepare more food and use, forget about the medicine, I am taboo. I will go to Mr. Wang's mansion in a while, and I will come back later." Lin Jinyu straightened his collar and looked at the mirror before and after. He has nothing to do, it's just that the face project is always done.Not only do you have to do it, but you have to do it with affection and righteousness.

Wang Ziteng had been waiting for Lin Jinyu for a long time, and now no one was hypocritical, and went directly to the study to discuss.

Lin Jinyu first sighed with a sad face, "I heard about my grandmother's house. I was sad and anxious. I lost my mind and went to Mr.'s house. Hearing Mr.'s voice is not very good, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get rid of the crime."

Wang Ziteng smiled wryly, "What are you talking about getting rid of crimes? Now that you can save the lives of this family, you have accumulated virtue. Don't end up with a family withered like a historian, and your reputation will be ruined for a hundred years. Even if you come to the underground in the future, what will you look like?" What about the ancestors?"

"Who says it's not?" Lin Jinyu said, "Shibo is more knowledgeable than I am. I've been thinking wildly these two days. I'm a small person, and I can't speak in court, but I can still understand. The wild dog Jia Yucun also It's too crazy. I heard that many people nowadays are afraid of being bitten by him for no reason, so they rush to curry favor with him! Isn't my grandmother's family ruined by his cheap mouth? He doesn't deal with either of us, uncles It’s no good to fall into his hands. The cabinet will be on duty tomorrow, and Shibo and I are in the same class, why don’t we go to the book together, anyone can try the case of the Rongning Second Mansion, except Jia Yucun.”

The prince stroked his three-inch beard slowly, and said with a smile, "Nephew and I have thought of getting together. Jia Yucun used to be your second cousin's wife at your uncle's house. He has a teacher-student relationship, how can he not avoid leisure time?" What about it?" Wang Ziteng felt that Lin Jinyu was really on the right track, and he got to the point. Naturally, Wang Ziteng was in a hurry when something happened in the Rongguo Mansion, but he copied everything, especially this kind of aristocratic family.The possibility of overturning the verdict is not high.What Wang Ziteng was worried about was Jia Yucun. Seeing that the historians and the Jia family had all died at the hands of Jia Yucun, could it be his Wang family's turn next?Wang Ziteng is not someone who just sits and waits to die, but now people in the government are panicking, Jia Yucun is in the limelight, and most of the rich and powerful hate Jia Yucun, but no one is absolutely sure and no one wants to offend him now, so as not to cause trouble.If no one responds, Wang Ziteng will be alone.

Lin Jinyu had the same position as him, but Wang Ziteng was overjoyed when Lin Jinyu brought it up.After all, Lin Jinyu's backstage is strong enough now, even if he doesn't clean up Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun can't move him, and thinking of Lin Jinyu's crying the day before yesterday, Wang Ziteng thinks that Lin Jinyu is only sincere for the Rongguo Mansion.It is rare for Lin Jinyu to be broad-minded at such a young age, not to miss old evils, and to be kind-hearted.

Wang Ziteng added a little love to Lin Jinyu, and said softly, "I have been an official for decades and I have never seen Jia Yucun as an official. He is climbing and biting without hesitation. To be honest, except for those small and small Who can look at him if he is a householder, or someone who has a guilty conscience and wants to save his life? Alas, my nephew is not an outsider, you may not know it when you are young, maybe behind him is..." Wang Ziteng pointed upwards with his hand, and said solemnly, "Yes No one can let him jump in the court? Nephew, forgive me to be plain, I am already old, and I have not been an official for a few years. I only have one son," Wang Ziteng smiled wryly, "I am not good enough, he It’s not material for becoming an official. The two daughters are both married. Now I have nothing to do. First, I don’t feel angry with Jia Yucun. Second, Jia Yucun has disturbed the court so badly. , how can we allow such cruel officials to run rampant; thirdly, among the five great families in Jinling City, one family was defeated and three were copied, and only my Wang family was left. I dare not say that the Wang family is clean, but I cannot let the family be defeated by my prince Teng; fourthly, The Rongguo Mansion and the Shi family are my in-laws. I can't save them, so I should speak a word of justice for them in the court, so as to live up to the name of the in-laws. Because of these four points, Jia Yucun and I will never die in the court. of."

"But nephew, you are different," Wang Ziteng said with a kind of wisdom and kindness unique to elders in his eyes, "You are still young, and with your nephew's qualifications, it is a matter of course for you to be appointed as a court minister in the future It's not uncommon to confer titles and marquises. We will be in the book tomorrow, and the outcome is between five and five. My nephew can help me, and I can't ask for it. But if there is any disagreement, long live if you are angry, I am at this age, it's nothing I can't let it go. My nephew has a great future in the future, if he loses his family because of this, wouldn't it be all my fault?"

"Shi Bo is too famous, I don't have this ability, but I just make a living in the court."

Wang Ziteng smiled, "I lived a little longer, and I have met many people. Talented people from poor families, heroes from aristocratic families, and the proud sons of heaven are mostly names that do not match their reality. At your age, there are very few people who are better than you. , very few."

"Shibo praised it absurdly. The ready-made Mr. Wu is three mountains better than my nephew. I am afraid that because my nephew is close to Shibo, it is human nature that Shibo favors him." No one can do a good job. , the lover was also snatched away, this must be the old grudge of several lifetimes.

"People often say that Wu Ziyou is a young and talented man. He is somewhat similar to you. He is a young man, and even his official position is higher than yours. People often compare you. In terms of talent, official position, and even appearance, you are inferior. He. But there is one thing you are better than him..."

Because the words involved Wu You, a monster, Lin Jinyu really cared a little bit, and listened intently. Wang Ziteng saw Lin Jinyu pretending to be drinking tea, but he didn't seem to care, but he was listening seriously, and he didn't sell a lawsuit. "You are luckier than him. good."

What an advantage this is!Lin Jinyu couldn't help being discouraged, a bit depressed like Shengyu and He Shengliang.

Prince Teng smiled, "Don't look down on luck. Your great grandfather was called a lucky general by the Emperor Taizu. Why? Every battle, victory will be a big victory, and defeat will be able to retreat completely. He is the number one general in the founding of the country. You have the mission to save the Rongguo Mansion today." Heart, maybe it’s the shadow of his old man here.”

Speaking of the glory of their ancestors, both of them felt sorry for each other, remembering how majestic and pardoning Rongning and Ningfu were when Jia Yuan and Jia Yan were two brothers who were conferred together for meritorious service, but now their descendants are unworthy and have withered to this point.Saddened by the death of the rabbit, Lin Jinyu pursed her lips and said, "Although I had some discord with my uncle's family before, but now I only have this relative. Naturally, I can't just sit idly by. Alas, to be an official, you have to be a man first, and look at uncle If my family is in trouble, if I pretend to be dumb, I will despise myself first."

The two discussed how to answer in front of the emperor tomorrow, because it was getting late, Lin Jinyu went back first.Wang Ziteng took out a gift list from his sleeve and presented it to Wang Ziteng. When Wang Ziteng saw that it was some bird's nest and ginseng, Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "This is not to honor Shibo and Auntie. Sister-in-law Feng is pregnant, and now that Cousin Lian is not here, she can't avoid it." After a lot of thinking, these are some medicinal herbs that my wife packed up to strengthen the body. No matter what, the heirs should be put first. It’s getting late, so I won’t bother Sister-in-law Feng, and the uncle will pass it on for me.”

Wang Ziteng thanked Lin Jinyu and sent him all the way to Yimen, and once again lamented that Lin Jinyu is a thoughtful person.Everyone said that Wu Ziyou was outstanding, but Lin Jinyu was not as good as him. If Wang Ziteng said that Lin Jinyu was neither arrogant nor irritable, and was steady in handling things, he was three points better than the violent Wu Ziyou.

The first love of Lin Jinyu's two lives ended in being dumped, of course he would be very sad.But now Lin Jinyu has transferred all his enthusiasm to the Rongguo Mansion. In front of the cabinet Wu You, he adheres to the idea of ​​losing but not losing, and is extraordinarily radiant.Together with the prince Tengzhu, he asked the emperor to transfer the expediency of interrogating the Rongguo Mansion to others on the grounds that the master and the apprentice avoided leisure.

Jia Yucun had been prepared for a long time. Rongguo Mansion was the one he participated in in the book himself. He was a teacher in Rongguo Mansion, and he was not afraid of others asking about it. They all have to worship the teacher of the past as their teacher, such as Xu Xiang, who was the chief examiner of the Three Realms, and it is said that Xu Xiang has peaches and plums all over the world. The corrupt official He Rong was the presiding judge of Xu Xiang. In this way, Xu Xiang also made a mistake in the trial. Is it okay to avoid leisure?"

Lin Jinyu said, "Master Jia, don't change the concept secretly, the teacher is just a famous leader. But Mr. Jia was hired by the Rongguo Mansion as the first teacher of Jia Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion, and he got along with him day and night for five years! Mr. Jia, according to you Counting 50 years of life, one tenth of your life is spent with Jia Baoyu day and night. Can this kind of master-student relationship as close as a father and son be compared with the master-student status between a son and a teacher? ?”

"Even when I first came to the capital, when I was staying at Rongguo Mansion, I often heard two uncles and cousin Baoyu mention Mr. Jia, and they all praised Mr. Jia as being knowledgeable, selfless, and not favoritism." Lin Jinyu sneered softly, "I am still here. The Rongguo Mansion and the Lord had a fate for a while. The eldest uncle and Lord Jia liked to appraise the ancient things together, the second uncle talked about the past and the present with the Lord, and the second cousin respected and admired the Lord as a father and brother. They all said that the Lord and Rongguo Mansion were different A family is better than a family! Can adults say that such a close relationship is just a name? Don’t you remember that when I came to Kyoto to pay my respects to my grandmother when I was young, I heard that such a learned person as my second cousin’s husband, I was very envious , I once asked my family to prepare a table gift for the adult’s wife. Although it has been many years, I still remember very clearly that the gift list was drawn up by myself, including two gold-studded ruby ​​​​collars, two Duan inkstones, and ten Hui ink inkstones. The two pieces of Duan Inkstone are still famous products from the previous dynasty, and they were actually given to me by my uncle. Because of my mistake, I forgot to prepare a gift for my second cousin’s wife, Mr. Jia, so I took them out and put them on the table. On the list of gifts for your wife. Master Jia! Do you think your relationship with the Rongguo Mansion is not enough to avoid leisure?"

At this point, even Xu Shuo shook his head and sighed, "Lord Jia, although this veteran has been a teacher for several times, it is the emperor's grace to bear the name of a teacher. To tell the truth, Master Jia, some People, the veterans can’t even recognize them. It’s Master Jia, and you were promoted to the cabinet. Someone mentioned it to the veteran, and the veteran remembered that Master Jia was also the chief examiner of the veteran’s scientific examination. But you see, we obviously don’t know each other. What kind of personal relationship. Don’t talk about personal relationship, I didn’t know much about it before. This is really different from your situation, and it’s not easy to compare.” Who is this Jia Yucun called?The Rongguo Mansion has no grievances or enmities with him, and there is still kindness, alas, people's hearts are not old.

Jia Yucun is now in a high position and is used to being flattered. He no longer has the forbearance of the past, and he said angrily, "Scholar Lin, don't you want to spout blood. When did you give my wife a gift?"

At this time, Lin Jinyu showed the demeanor of a child of a family who has been practicing for many years, indifferently, contemptuously, as if there was no ground, he did not take Jia Yucun seriously, noble and proud, and looked at Jia Yucun with a clean look, Did not speak.Jia Yucun was so angry that his face turned red, veins popped out on his neck, and he looked a little hideous.Wang Ziteng stepped forward and said softly, "Master Jia is outstanding in talent and learning. I only recognized Mr. Jia when my brother-in-law mentioned it. I didn't believe it at first, but my brother-in-law brought it up repeatedly. I recognized Mr. Jia, and I recommended him when he was in the middle of the capital. Dear Master Jia," the prince said with a smile, "can't you just recommend a capable minister for His Majesty?" It's not been a day or two since my brother-in-law's eyesight has been bad, this time it's because wolves have been lured into the house and the whole family has suffered.

When Tu Jingchen had the authority to make decisions, but most of them would not fight with the officials, he said softly, "From this point of view, Jia Aiqing, you should avoid it for a while. It's just that Jia Aiqing avoided it, who is the right judge?"

"Long live back, the two houses of Rongning and Ning have filed a case together. Both of them had hereditary titles before. After the meritorious deeds, we must have a clear and impartial person who will try the case clearly so that they will not be wronged. , and we can't cover up for them." Lin Jinyu said.

Tu Jingchen was about to listen, but Lin Jinyu shut his mouth, and Tu Jingchen said, "It seems that you have a candidate in your heart, tell me?"

"Long live, although there is someone in my heart, but I have relatives with the Rongguo Mansion, it is better to avoid the idleness if I say that I am afraid of being picked on by others." Jia Yucun is still watching from the sidelines, Lin Jinyu naturally will not make such a low-level mistake .

"I didn't order you to interrogate your uncle's house, just to ask you a word."

"Yes, I heard that the king of Beijing is a worthy king..."

"Long live," Jia Yucun knew that King Jing of Beijing had a good relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, and he single-handedly brought down the Rongguo Mansion, and he must not let them overturn the case, otherwise he would die without death, and he didn't care too much at the moment, " I am loyal to Long Live and to the court, even a person like me who doesn't like to socialize, I also heard that the Beijing Palace and the Rongguo Palace have a good relationship and have a family friendship."

"Lord Jia is making a fuss," Wang Ziteng said with a smile, "Master Jia may not know that when all the heroes who followed the emperor Taizu to conquer the world were entrusted with titles, there were four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquises. I know it. If it is a personal relationship, the ancestors were ministers in the same dynasty, so they will naturally recognize each other. But the minister knows that the Beijing Palace and the Rongguo Mansion are neither related by blood nor are they related by marriage. We have a good relationship, why haven’t we gotten any closer after more than a hundred years? It can be seen that it’s all rumors. Before Long Live, you and I are the ministers of His Majesty first, and we should put Long Live first in everything, and the King of Beijing is naturally even more so.”

Tu Jingchen agreed with a smile, and ordered the decree not to be mentioned.
