Lin Jiajinyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 177 Extra Story 5 Xue Baochai's Qingyun
Xue Baochai is a man with ideals.
Yique's "Linjiang Immortal" wrote with all my heart: good winds take advantage of the frequency to send me to Qingyun.
However, it seems that God does not favor her very much, and her beauty and intelligence have been unknown until that day when she ran into King Xining in the temple.
I have to say that this is the beginning of a very talented man and a beautiful woman, but what is waiting for Xue Baochai is not the love of a gifted man and a beautiful woman. She knew her status from Concubine Xu's maid on the first day she arrived in Xining Palace, but Xue Baochai did not. don't panic.
Xue Baochai has one advantage: stability.
She came to the capital from the capital, and in the Rongguo Mansion, she saw Jia's mother's viciousness, Lin Jinyu's disapproval, and Mrs. Wang's sweet belly sword.
This time in Xining Prince's Mansion, she finally exhausted all she had learned and was promoted to concubine in just three months.
The king of Xining likes Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai has the beauty of Concubine Yang, not to mention that she is at a young age, she does all kinds of tricks to serve the young and handsome king of Xining, and she doesn't pretend to be clever enough to teach Jia Baoyu the earnest way.Xue Baochai finally learned to be smart once. She truly recognized her identity and the countless concubines in this mansion. She dared not take any risk by holding on to airs, and she dared not fall out of favor.
She really saw the formality and rules of the palace, as well as the countless beauties in the palace.She is not the best.
However, Xue Baochai has Xue Baochai's method. She has failed Jia Baoyu once, and she will not fail a second time after summing up her experience and lessons. Xue Baochai is a smart person.
She showed her beauty and charm in front of the king of Xining, and she was respectful and docile in front of the princess. Although there was only a concubine there, Xue Baochai had one thing more than other concubines, money.
At this time, the Xue family still had a little property, Xue Baochai still opened the way with silver, and with her kindness and gentleness, she bribed a few people.At this time, her immediate superior, the side concubine Xu, was in no mood to talk to him, as Xu's delivery was imminent.
Xue Baochai is a very scheming person, she did not simply dominate the king of Xining, but spoke good words for the princess beside her pillow. Suddenly, the princess found that the number of times the king of Xining came to her yard increased. times, now doubled.
Princess Xining's appearance is not outstanding, and she is not very favored, but the king of Xining still respects his first wife very much.Princess Xining is not an idiot, so she must guess what the reason is. At this moment, Xue Baochai, who is respectfully and carefully serving tea and water in front of her, is a bit pleasing to the eye.
To govern peace and uphold virtue, and to reward things.
But at this time, a concubine surnamed Li passed away due to illness, and Xue Baochai was the treasure in the eyes of the king of Xining at this time, so the princess followed suit and was promoted to Xue Baochai's position.
Xue Baochai has indeed grown up, she is not arrogant or impetuous, she does not have the slightest complacency on her face, she is even more respectful and careful than before, because she knows that concubine concubine is just a concubine, and her eyes are on concubine concubine A higher seat - side concubine.
Concubine Xu has been ill for a long time.
Concubine Xu's illness is caused by giving birth to a child. It may be due to excessive nutrition in the fetus and lack of exercise. The child is big and difficult to deliver. Knowing that her seat has been watched by a little concubine in the courtyard, she even plans to take over her son who is not yet one year old.
At this time, Xue Baochai has been in the palace for a year. She has successfully curry favor with the concubine, and she is the most favored among all the concubines, but she is not a special favor. The king of Xining has already taken a new love.
At this time, something happened in the Xue family. Xue Baochai gained a firm foothold in the palace. He had seen his mother once. Aunt Xue was a soft-hearted person. The daughter-in-law was not less angry. Seeing her daughter now, she complained and wept bitterly.
Xue Baochai quietly made a decision for her brother: divorce his wife.
Aunt Xue was shocked, and Xue Baochai gently persuaded, "Mother, it's not been a day or two since my sister-in-law got married. When did it stop? Our century-old family, how can we have no rules and regulations, so that relatives and friends will laugh to death when they see it?" ! As a wife and daughter-in-law, you can’t honor your mother from above, you can’t reproduce from below, and you make waves all day long, disobeying your elders, what’s the use of keeping her as a troublemaker?”
Now Xue Baochai has the confidence to say such things. The king of Xining is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs in the court. Ha, Xue Baochai has managed her own shop since she was a child. She knows what kind of power the king of Xining has. She begged several times. It's not an imperial merchant, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs still buys from the Xue family.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one.The court's money is the best to earn.In this way, Xue Baochai slowly stabilized her natal family, which was already crumbling.
An idiot like Xue Pan made money by eating and drinking like this. Of course, Aunt Xue, mother and son are all proud of Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai's words at this time are naturally useful.
Xue Baochai also said, "I heard that my uncle's cousin didn't become an official. My mother knows what my brother is like. I can't support him alone. The family business is getting bigger and bigger. My brother can't take care of it alone. Please ask my cousin to help me." Yes. They are all in the same family, and my cousin was trained by my uncle, so I can always be trusted."
Xue Baochai has indeed grown up, she actually doesn't understand Wang Ren's ability, now Xue's family has Xining Palace as their backer, not to mention Xue Pan, even a pig can earn money back.Xue Baochai's goal is not Wang Ren, but Wang Ziteng.
At this time, Xue Baochai has already understood exactly how humble her family is, and her uncle, Prince Teng, who is the Minister of the Military Department of the Cabinet University, just made up for Xue Baochai's deficiency. If Xue Baochai wants to continue to climb up, Xue Pan is unreliable, and can't be of any help.
But Wang Ziteng is different, Xue Baochai has always been ambitious, she firmly believes that one day she will need this supporting uncle.
Xue Baochai is still too self-confident. Her wisdom is applied to Xia Jingui, a talented person like Xia Jingui. No matter how much Xia Jingui cries, she will die for several days. Xue Pan will give Xia Jingui all the dowry She was sent back to her natal home.Women in this era don't have much rights, if you give you a divorce letter, you have to get out!
Xia Jingui hit a reef and sank the boat.
Xue Baochai also ran aground in the process of wooing Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng is an old fox. He has been an official all his life and has been up and down in political conspiracy for most of his life. Xue Baochai's actions are too childish for him.Wang Ziteng doesn't like Xue Baochai. Strong men generally like women who are small and dependable. Xue Baochai is not smart enough and too dignified. This is the impression Xue Baochai left on her uncle before.
Hearing from his sister that his niece had been promoted to concubine, Wang Ziteng didn't change his face. He didn't take it seriously, or maybe the niece really grew up, but what happened next made Wang Ziteng frown. It seems that this niece didn't Grow too much.
The direction of the goal is right, but too naive.
Wang Ziteng was approaching his sixtieth age at this time, and in the cabinet, as an official, this was already the apex.At this time, Wang Ziteng no longer needs to take any risks. Xue Baochai is just a concubine of a county prince's mansion. There are more than a dozen county princes' mansions in Beijing. Concubines like Xue Baochai are counted in hundreds.Wang Ziteng was very surprised, what kind of mentality did his niece use to determine that his Wang Ziteng would join the Xue family's camp to support her.
Don't say that Xue Baochai is a concubine now, even if she becomes the princess of Xining with green smoke on the ancestral grave, Wang Ziteng will not cooperate with her.Because there is a reason, the emperor will not like to complement each other with too much power.
This is due to Wang Ziteng's understanding of Tu Jingchen. It is not the first day he has known Tu Jingchen, and Wang Ziteng's initial investment target was not Tu Jingchen. Complementary to this, the two houses of Jia and Shi related to him were all copied, but Wang Ziteng still stands tall, which shows how powerful this man is.
Wang Ziteng's strength lies in his understanding. He feels that the biggest dissatisfaction in his life is not having a good son. For this reason, he is very jealous of Lin Ruhai who has been drinking tea with Lord Yama underground.But Wang Ziteng's wiser point is that since his son is ineffective, Wang Ziteng doesn't expect him to be very successful, as long as he lives well, don't cause trouble for him.
Then there is Xue Pan, Wang Ziteng understands best, how could he allow his son to intervene in the Xue family's business, and work with Xue idiot?
So when he heard that this matter was planned by Xue Baochai, Wang Ziteng shook his head again, he still didn't like Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai, who is not favored, is like a fish in water in the Xining Palace at the moment, and she is proud of the spring breeze, and she is pregnant.
Since ancient times, for a woman, the most reliable person is not the man next to her pillow, but her own son.This theorem is more applicable to the royal family.
Xue Baochai was ecstatic, she no longer had to covet other people's sons.
At this time, it seemed that even God was on Xue Baochai's side, Concubine Xu's body became more and more corrupt, Xue Baochai only had to wait for Concubine Xu to vacate the house.
But it turns out that God is not so easy to talk about, Xue Pan beat someone to death outside.
When Xue Baochai found out about this, Aunt Xue was in a state of desperation, begging every day for nothing, begging for land and land not working, so she stuffed money into the back door of the kitchen to find her almighty daughter.Xue Baochai got angry and didn't complain about his mother. Xue Baochai knew Xue Pan's virtues better than anyone else.And it is precisely because of Xue Pan's arrogance and ignorance that it contrasts Xue Baochai's countless virtues.
Xue Baochai asked her mother first, did she ask her uncle?
At this time, Xue Pan's lawsuit has escalated to the issue of the survival of the prince's mansion and the Duke's mansion. Wang Ziteng is too busy to take care of himself, how can he save Xue Pan?
Aunt Xue explained the situation in tears and begged her daughter to speak well in front of the prince.
What can Xue Baochai do, his own brother is still the only brother, Wang Ziteng can ignore it, Xue Baochai will definitely not stand still, and sent his mother away, because Xue Baochai is pregnant, the king of Xining still cares about her, and returns home from the yamen at night Go around from time to time.
The corners of Xue Baochai's eyes were a little red, and she served King Xining tea with a forced smile. The King of Xining smiled and said, "Why do you look like you have cried, but something is wrong?"
Xue Baochai sighed softly, "It's nothing, it's my concubine's elder brother who doesn't live up to expectations, and my mother is alone at home, so I'm heartbroken."
The king of Xining immediately turned the corner, these few days the court is busy, isn't the second mansion of King Shi and Jia Sima just fighting over Xue Pan?
The king of Xining sat beside him with Xue Baochai in his arms, and said in a gentle voice, "If you talk about your brother, it's not a big deal. I can get over it if I just say it. But, hum," he paused, and sighed, "If It's tonight, because of your brother, this time you will be turned into either the Wang family's Shi family or Jia Yu village. The emperor ordered the three divisions to interrogate, regardless of who wins and who loses, your brother will not be able to keep it. Here is still The case of your brother beating someone to death in Jinling is mixed..."
The king of Xining squeezed Xue Baochai's hand and said, "Don't worry about these trivial matters, the child is important."
Xue Pan was executed very quickly, before autumn, when Tu Jingchen looked at the confession, ah, the person who should have been buried a few years ago is still alive, and the surname Xue really made a profit, so he pushed it out and chopped off his head.
This is the end of Xue Bawang's life.
Xue Pan is not a good person, he is just an unscrupulous bastard, but even a bastard has a family, he is the only son of the Xue family, Aunt Xue is heartbroken, and Xue Baochai will inevitably feel sad.But she didn't have much time to be sad, because Concubine Xu finally came to an end, leaving a son who had just turned one year old to pass away.
Xue Baochai's chance came.She is the only one among the eight concubines who is pregnant and the most favored. She is determined to win the position of side concubine.
After crying for Concubine Xu, Xue Baochai put on a layer of light makeup and waited for the arrival of the King of Xining. The King of Xining did come, but he sighed and had a slight worry on his brows. But when encountering difficulties, although the concubine is useless, if His Highness speaks out, I can feel more at ease."
The king of Xining took the tea, put it aside without drinking it, and said helplessly, "It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and I must accompany you to appreciate the chrysanthemums. You don't know that occasion, everyone with a head and a face will go. Drinking hairpins is not a bad idea." Forget it, I have to make poems, this king is the most annoying." This king of Xining didn't do very well in school, and he had a father who wanted to save face. Not only did the courtiers make poems, but the sons also had to do it. You have to make good poems.
Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Since I know, I just need to write a few poems for Qing Ke to prepare. I think it's the same with other ministers."
"Yeah, you prepare me as well, who doesn't look for high-level poetry and prose." Xining Wang Yi said, "I don't have any clean customers around me, so I can't talk to them. It’s not good to go out in a big fanfare to find the whereabouts, and let people hear it, what face will there be.”
Xue Baochai was overjoyed, but her face remained calm, "I have read a few poems at home, chrysanthemum poems, the most and the best in ancient times, but it is not easy to be brilliant." After a while, Yinger spreads paper and grinds ink, and it's done in one go.
Don't think that the level of poetry is not good, the king of Xining can still criticize poetry, holding a piece of poetry in his hand, thinking that the poems on the Double Ninth Festival have been settled, he is happy, and it is inevitable to praise a few talented women or something.
Xue Baochai didn't take credit for it, "I'm an idler, and I'm bored at home to pass the time, that's why these little tricks showed up in front of my master."
"My concubine is humbled."
Xue Baochai became more confident in her heart, but unexpectedly, it was this piece of poetry that caused countless disturbances.
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and there is a chrysanthemum garden in Xu Ziwen’s garden. There are dozens of kinds of chrysanthemums blooming in the cloud stone. Banquet, ahead of Chongyang Festival.
Because I have to accompany the driver that day.
Tu Jingchen was cold-tempered, but it was not bad to have Lin Jinyu do everything he could to mobilize the atmosphere. Poems were inevitable during the banquet.
In fact, Lin Jinyu is not good at poetry either. He used to concentrate on studying to test his fame, and he is far behind his sister Daiyu in terms of poetry.
Xu Ziwen said with a smile, "Jinyu is a little witty about pairings, but not good at poetry." Generally speaking, it is polite, but Xu Ziwen actually thinks that Lin Jinyu is not good at poetry.
Tu Jingchen didn't take it seriously, "It's not about ranking in the imperial examination. I made two songs for the sake of elegance. Start with you. Whoever doesn't do well will be punished."
Lin Jinyu put down the crab in his hand, and said in disbelief, "The emperor's words are too biased. No one but sir can say that you are wrong. Anyway, I don't have the guts. I dare not offend the emperor, so do I dare to offend sir? It's obvious that you all And me."
Tu Jingchen smiled, "That's all, so you don't have to pick your eyes and say that I bullied you. If you make two songs, I will give you a comment. You have caught up today, and ordinary people also have to see how I feel. Is there such a thing?" Free time." Lin Jinyu was extremely honored in his words.
If it were another person, it would be an honor to think that he burned high incense in his previous life. Lin Jinyu was really not so honored. He racked his brains to write out two chrysanthemum poems with his secretive expression.
Relying on the advantage of being a time traveler, Lin Jinyu shamelessly borrowed two chrysanthemum poems written by Xue Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Xu Ziwen was quite surprised, "Hey, you really have improved a lot?"
Tu Jingchen shook his head, took a sip of his wine and said, "I'm like a girl."
Lin Jinyu didn't take it seriously, "Tang Taizong has such a heroic spirit, all poets say that his style is not elegant and upright. It can be seen that poetry has nothing to do with people's temperament." Two poems caused a disaster.
After staying for a few days, on the Double Ninth Festival, Tu Jingchen served the emperor with all the officials and children to hold a banquet in the imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums. He planned to show off, but when it was his turn, he just recited a song.
When Tu Jingchen heard this, his face became uncomfortable, and he swept towards Lin Jinyu directly, and the wine cup in Lin Jinyu's hand fell to the ground, his surprise was definitely not feigned.
Lin Jinyu stood far away, only Wu You, who was beside him, handed him a handkerchief and wiped the wine on the skirt of his shirt. No one else paid attention, so Tu Jingchen stopped smiling, and said lightly, "This song is not high, Do another one."
The king of Xining didn't feel anything, thankful that he had a backup, and recited another song.
Tu Jingchen didn't speak at all, he conspired, could there be spies in Xu's residence?It shouldn't be the king of Xining, who framed the king of Xining?
Throughout the Double Ninth Festival, Tu Jingchen pondered over and over in conspiracy theories.
Discuss with Xu Ziwen first, "Do you think Lin Jinyu wrote that poem?"
Xu Ziwen said, "Jinyu's poems are only average, which is not good, but you can see that he is very spiritual to the pair... I can't be sure about Jinyu, I know how much the king of Xining has. Among the sons, he is the worst at reading, if he can make this kind of poem, I will be considered blind."
So I asked the king of Xining first. Even Gao Song was reprimanded by Tu Jingchen in the palace, and only he and the father and son of the king of Xining were left. Although the king of Xining was embarrassed, he did not hide it. The appearance of him cheating is telling the truth.
Tu Jingchen pointed at the tip of Xining King's nose and scolded, "You will be promising, and ask a concubine to catch you... When did she dedicate these two poems to you?"
Coincidentally and coincidentally, Lin Jinyu still read it first, and Tu Jingchen asked Xue Baochai's background again, and heard his son say that he was from Xue's family, hey, he was Ziwei's successor!Match the number!If someone else, Tu Jingchen might not know, but this person, Xue Baochai, he knew. He gave poisonous bird's nest to Lin Jinyu's sister back then. At that time, Lin Jinyu was fighting with the Rongguo Mansion, and Tu Jingchen heard the analysis on the spot.
What a witch!Looking at the dejected son kneeling on the ground, he was even more angry, "What kind of woman is hard to find! I just want to find someone who can administer medicine! You are not afraid that a dose of bird's nest medicine will kill your dog!"
The king of Xining said in shock, "Could it be true? My son is just a rumor."
"Rumours! Hmph, there's nothing wrong with it! Why don't you spread it to others! You really want sex and life!" Tu Jingchen took a breath, his eyes turned cold, "Go back and ask this Mr. Xue, these two songs Where did she get the poems? Let me tell you the truth, I ordered Lin Jinyu to compose chrysanthemum poems three days before she gave you the poems." A sneer curled up on the corner of her lips, "It's just a coincidence that the poems she wrote It's exactly the same as Lin Jinyu's! Where did she get this poem! If you don't know, just hand her over to Jin Yiwei!"
The king of Xining's mind was not slow, "Father Huang Mingjian, Mrs. Xue knew that my son would make a poem on the Double Ninth Festival and dedicated it to his son. Let's not talk about whether she has the ability to get Lin Xueshi's poems in the palace. If she knows this The poems were written by Xueshi Lin before the imperial court, so they cannot be presented to the ministers to make them embarrassing. Or Xue Shi’s previous works have been leaked out, and Xueshi Lin...get it."
Tu Jingchen hadn't tried Lin Jinyu yet, but he said, "How do the poems in the boudoir get out? Someone must praise and appreciate them to get out! Then it can't be just one or two people who know! How could Xue use so many I give you a well-known poem, and I tell you to come and fool me!"
The king of Xining didn't know what to say, this matter was a bit weird, and Tu Jingchen didn't make things difficult for him anymore, "Go, I'd better ask you clearly and give me an answer."
After the trial of King Xining, it was Lin Jinyu's turn.
Although Lin Jinyu was a hateful shoplifter, he would never admit it to death, and shook his head every time he asked.Anyway, Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth insisted that this poem was his original, as for why Xue Baochai would write the same poem as him, he was also surprised?
When Lin Jinyu told a lie, even he himself believed it to be true, but Tu Jingchen really didn't see any flaws, the key was that he had someone in the Lin family, and Lin Jinyu was indeed not suspicious at all.
After discussing with Xu Ziwen, Tu Jingchen checked all of Xu's guards, but still found no flaws.Hey, this is amazing!
Tu Jingchen tossed and turned over this matter, the more rigorous this matter is, the more it shows that the people behind it are not simple.Especially the Xue family, Tu Jingchen doesn't like the Xue family.
Speaking of which, the Xue family became one of the four major families as an imperial merchant, and there is still a story behind it.Ziwei Sheren has a more investment vision. At the beginning, he funded Emperor Taizu's rebellion, and Taizu did not treat these heroes badly when he conquered the country in the future.But there is another thing, the Xue family participated in the establishment of the General Administration Department. At that time, the country was not peaceful, and the Emperor Taizu occupied the capital, but there were still people outside who refused to accept the rebellion.
The Southern General Administration took Jinling as the center, and the four major families joined forces to form it. As a result, the Xue family became one of the four major families in Jinling as the emperor, while the Zhen family, which was favored by the emperor, lost the election.
Until the reign of the emperor, he still favored these four families very much, but once the emperor and his courtiers, the old saying is never wrong. Tu Jingchen doesn't like to hand over the eyes and ears of such emperors to the family for control. The family has become a sharp weapon in Tu Jingchen's hands.But the centipede is dead but not stiff, will the Xue family have a backup?
So the usual impression is very important, Lin Jinyu has a lot of eyes, but Tu Jingchen knows Lin Jinyu relatively well, moreover, Lin Ruhai died early, no matter how capable Lin Jinyu is, he still has no ability to find out about the inner courtyard of the county prince's mansion.King Xining is his own son, and Tu Jingchen doesn't believe that his son is so heartless.
Xue Baochai was the only one who was suspicious.
This matter has undergone extremely complicated investigations, and in the end it has not yet been solved.
Because Xue Baochai committed suicide.
She couldn't argue, and then her child had an accidental miscarriage, and she herself lost the favor of King Xining, and she still had to be interrogated.
She has no other way to escape except death.
In fact, even if she died, she still bears the crime, except for Lin Jinyu, no one knows, this time, Xue Baochai is really innocent.
Yique's "Linjiang Immortal" wrote with all my heart: good winds take advantage of the frequency to send me to Qingyun.
However, it seems that God does not favor her very much, and her beauty and intelligence have been unknown until that day when she ran into King Xining in the temple.
I have to say that this is the beginning of a very talented man and a beautiful woman, but what is waiting for Xue Baochai is not the love of a gifted man and a beautiful woman. She knew her status from Concubine Xu's maid on the first day she arrived in Xining Palace, but Xue Baochai did not. don't panic.
Xue Baochai has one advantage: stability.
She came to the capital from the capital, and in the Rongguo Mansion, she saw Jia's mother's viciousness, Lin Jinyu's disapproval, and Mrs. Wang's sweet belly sword.
This time in Xining Prince's Mansion, she finally exhausted all she had learned and was promoted to concubine in just three months.
The king of Xining likes Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai has the beauty of Concubine Yang, not to mention that she is at a young age, she does all kinds of tricks to serve the young and handsome king of Xining, and she doesn't pretend to be clever enough to teach Jia Baoyu the earnest way.Xue Baochai finally learned to be smart once. She truly recognized her identity and the countless concubines in this mansion. She dared not take any risk by holding on to airs, and she dared not fall out of favor.
She really saw the formality and rules of the palace, as well as the countless beauties in the palace.She is not the best.
However, Xue Baochai has Xue Baochai's method. She has failed Jia Baoyu once, and she will not fail a second time after summing up her experience and lessons. Xue Baochai is a smart person.
She showed her beauty and charm in front of the king of Xining, and she was respectful and docile in front of the princess. Although there was only a concubine there, Xue Baochai had one thing more than other concubines, money.
At this time, the Xue family still had a little property, Xue Baochai still opened the way with silver, and with her kindness and gentleness, she bribed a few people.At this time, her immediate superior, the side concubine Xu, was in no mood to talk to him, as Xu's delivery was imminent.
Xue Baochai is a very scheming person, she did not simply dominate the king of Xining, but spoke good words for the princess beside her pillow. Suddenly, the princess found that the number of times the king of Xining came to her yard increased. times, now doubled.
Princess Xining's appearance is not outstanding, and she is not very favored, but the king of Xining still respects his first wife very much.Princess Xining is not an idiot, so she must guess what the reason is. At this moment, Xue Baochai, who is respectfully and carefully serving tea and water in front of her, is a bit pleasing to the eye.
To govern peace and uphold virtue, and to reward things.
But at this time, a concubine surnamed Li passed away due to illness, and Xue Baochai was the treasure in the eyes of the king of Xining at this time, so the princess followed suit and was promoted to Xue Baochai's position.
Xue Baochai has indeed grown up, she is not arrogant or impetuous, she does not have the slightest complacency on her face, she is even more respectful and careful than before, because she knows that concubine concubine is just a concubine, and her eyes are on concubine concubine A higher seat - side concubine.
Concubine Xu has been ill for a long time.
Concubine Xu's illness is caused by giving birth to a child. It may be due to excessive nutrition in the fetus and lack of exercise. The child is big and difficult to deliver. Knowing that her seat has been watched by a little concubine in the courtyard, she even plans to take over her son who is not yet one year old.
At this time, Xue Baochai has been in the palace for a year. She has successfully curry favor with the concubine, and she is the most favored among all the concubines, but she is not a special favor. The king of Xining has already taken a new love.
At this time, something happened in the Xue family. Xue Baochai gained a firm foothold in the palace. He had seen his mother once. Aunt Xue was a soft-hearted person. The daughter-in-law was not less angry. Seeing her daughter now, she complained and wept bitterly.
Xue Baochai quietly made a decision for her brother: divorce his wife.
Aunt Xue was shocked, and Xue Baochai gently persuaded, "Mother, it's not been a day or two since my sister-in-law got married. When did it stop? Our century-old family, how can we have no rules and regulations, so that relatives and friends will laugh to death when they see it?" ! As a wife and daughter-in-law, you can’t honor your mother from above, you can’t reproduce from below, and you make waves all day long, disobeying your elders, what’s the use of keeping her as a troublemaker?”
Now Xue Baochai has the confidence to say such things. The king of Xining is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs in the court. Ha, Xue Baochai has managed her own shop since she was a child. She knows what kind of power the king of Xining has. She begged several times. It's not an imperial merchant, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs still buys from the Xue family.

My brother can't take care of it alone. Please ask my cousin to help me." Yes. They are all in the same family, and my cousin was trained by my uncle, so I can always be trusted."
Xue Baochai has indeed grown up, she actually doesn't understand Wang Ren's ability, now Xue's family has Xining Palace as their backer, not to mention Xue Pan, even a pig can earn money back.Xue Baochai's goal is not Wang Ren, but Wang Ziteng.
At this time, Xue Baochai has already understood exactly how humble her family is, and her uncle, Prince Teng, who is the Minister of the Military Department of the Cabinet University, just made up for Xue Baochai's deficiency. If Xue Baochai wants to continue to climb up, Xue Pan is unreliable, and can't be of any help.
But Wang Ziteng is different, Xue Baochai has always been ambitious, she firmly believes that one day she will need this supporting uncle.
Xue Baochai is still too self-confident. Her wisdom is applied to Xia Jingui, a talented person like Xia Jingui. No matter how much Xia Jingui cries, she will die for several days. Xue Pan will give Xia Jingui all the dowry She was sent back to her natal home.Women in this era don't have much rights, if you give you a divorce letter, you have to get out!
Xia Jingui hit a reef and sank the boat.
Xue Baochai also ran aground in the process of wooing Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng is an old fox. He has been an official all his life and has been up and down in political conspiracy for most of his life. Xue Baochai's actions are too childish for him.Wang Ziteng doesn't like Xue Baochai. Strong men generally like women who are small and dependable. Xue Baochai is not smart enough and too dignified. This is the impression Xue Baochai left on her uncle before.
Hearing from his sister that his niece had been promoted to concubine, Wang Ziteng didn't change his face. He didn't take it seriously, or maybe the niece really grew up, but what happened next made Wang Ziteng frown. It seems that this niece didn't Grow too much.
The direction of the goal is right, but too naive.
Wang Ziteng was approaching his sixtieth age at this time, and in the cabinet, as an official, this was already the apex.At this time, Wang Ziteng no longer needs to take any risks. Xue Baochai is just a concubine of a county prince's mansion. There are more than a dozen county princes' mansions in Beijing. Concubines like Xue Baochai are counted in hundreds.Wang Ziteng was very surprised, what kind of mentality did his niece use to determine that his Wang Ziteng would join the Xue family's camp to support her.
Don't say that Xue Baochai is a concubine now, even if she becomes the princess of Xining with green smoke on the ancestral grave, Wang Ziteng will not cooperate with her.Because there is a reason, the emperor will not like to complement each other with too much power.
This is due to Wang Ziteng's understanding of Tu Jingchen. It is not the first day he has known Tu Jingchen, and Wang Ziteng's initial investment target was not Tu Jingchen. Complementary to this, the two houses of Jia and Shi related to him were all copied, but Wang Ziteng still stands tall, which shows how powerful this man is.
Wang Ziteng's strength lies in his understanding. He feels that the biggest dissatisfaction in his life is not having a good son. For this reason, he is very jealous of Lin Ruhai who has been drinking tea with Lord Yama underground.But Wang Ziteng's wiser point is that since his son is ineffective, Wang Ziteng doesn't expect him to be very successful, as long as he lives well, don't cause trouble for him.
Then there is Xue Pan, Wang Ziteng understands best, how could he allow his son to intervene in the Xue family's business, and work with Xue idiot?
So when he heard that this matter was planned by Xue Baochai, Wang Ziteng shook his head again, he still didn't like Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai, who is not favored, is like a fish in water in the Xining Palace at the moment, and she is proud of the spring breeze, and she is pregnant.
Since ancient times, for a woman, the most reliable person is not the man next to her pillow, but her own son.This theorem is more applicable to the royal family.
Xue Baochai was ecstatic, she no longer had to covet other people's sons.
At this time, it seemed that even God was on Xue Baochai's side, Concubine Xu's body became more and more corrupt, Xue Baochai only had to wait for Concubine Xu to vacate the house.
But it turns out that God is not so easy to talk about, Xue Pan beat someone to death outside.
When Xue Baochai found out about this, Aunt Xue was in a state of desperation, begging every day for nothing, begging for land and land not working, so she stuffed money into the back door of the kitchen to find her almighty daughter.Xue Baochai got angry and didn't complain about his mother. Xue Baochai knew Xue Pan's virtues better than anyone else.And it is precisely because of Xue Pan's arrogance and ignorance that it contrasts Xue Baochai's countless virtues.
Xue Baochai asked her mother first, did she ask her uncle?
At this time, Xue Pan's lawsuit has escalated to the issue of the survival of the prince's mansion and the Duke's mansion. Wang Ziteng is too busy to take care of himself, how can he save Xue Pan?
Aunt Xue explained the situation in tears and begged her daughter to speak well in front of the prince.
What can Xue Baochai do, his own brother is still the only brother, Wang Ziteng can ignore it, Xue Baochai will definitely not stand still, and sent his mother away, because Xue Baochai is pregnant, the king of Xining still cares about her, and returns home from the yamen at night Go around from time to time.
The corners of Xue Baochai's eyes were a little red, and she served King Xining tea with a forced smile. The King of Xining smiled and said, "Why do you look like you have cried, but something is wrong?"
Xue Baochai sighed softly, "It's nothing, it's my concubine's elder brother who doesn't live up to expectations, and my mother is alone at home, so I'm heartbroken."
The king of Xining immediately turned the corner, these few days the court is busy, isn't the second mansion of King Shi and Jia Sima just fighting over Xue Pan?
The king of Xining sat beside him with Xue Baochai in his arms, and said in a gentle voice, "If you talk about your brother, it's not a big deal. I can get over it if I just say it. But, hum," he paused, and sighed, "If It's tonight, because of your brother, this time you will be turned into either the Wang family's Shi family or Jia Yu village. The emperor ordered the three divisions to interrogate, regardless of who wins and who loses, your brother will not be able to keep it. Here is still The case of your brother beating someone to death in Jinling is mixed..."
The king of Xining squeezed Xue Baochai's hand and said, "Don't worry about these trivial matters, the child is important."
Xue Pan was executed very quickly, before autumn, when Tu Jingchen looked at the confession, ah, the person who should have been buried a few years ago is still alive, and the surname Xue really made a profit, so he pushed it out and chopped off his head.
This is the end of Xue Bawang's life.
Xue Pan is not a good person, he is just an unscrupulous bastard, but even a bastard has a family, he is the only son of the Xue family, Aunt Xue is heartbroken, and Xue Baochai will inevitably feel sad.But she didn't have much time to be sad, because Concubine Xu finally came to an end, leaving a son who had just turned one year old to pass away.
Xue Baochai's chance came.She is the only one among the eight concubines who is pregnant and the most favored. She is determined to win the position of side concubine.
After crying for Concubine Xu, Xue Baochai put on a layer of light makeup and waited for the arrival of the King of Xining. The King of Xining did come, but he sighed and had a slight worry on his brows. But when encountering difficulties, although the concubine is useless, if His Highness speaks out, I can feel more at ease."
The king of Xining took the tea, put it aside without drinking it, and said helplessly, "It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and I must accompany you to appreciate the chrysanthemums. You don't know that occasion, everyone with a head and a face will go. Drinking hairpins is not a bad idea." Forget it, I have to make poems, this king is the most annoying." This king of Xining didn't do very well in school, and he had a father who wanted to save face. Not only did the courtiers make poems, but the sons also had to do it. You have to make good poems.
Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Since I know, I just need to write a few poems for Qing Ke to prepare. I think it's the same with other ministers."
"Yeah, you prepare me as well, who doesn't look for high-level poetry and prose." Xining Wang Yi said, "I don't have any clean customers around me, so I can't talk to them. It’s not good to go out in a big fanfare to find the whereabouts, and let people hear it, what face will there be.”
Xue Baochai was overjoyed, but her face remained calm, "I have read a few poems at home, chrysanthemum poems, the most and the best in ancient times, but it is not easy to be brilliant." After a while, Yinger spreads paper and grinds ink, and it's done in one go.
Don't think that the level of poetry is not good, the king of Xining can still criticize poetry, holding a piece of poetry in his hand, thinking that the poems on the Double Ninth Festival have been settled, he is happy, and it is inevitable to praise a few talented women or something.
Xue Baochai didn't take credit for it, "I'm an idler, and I'm bored at home to pass the time, that's why these little tricks showed up in front of my master."
"My concubine is humbled."
Xue Baochai became more confident in her heart, but unexpectedly, it was this piece of poetry that caused countless disturbances.
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and there is a chrysanthemum garden in Xu Ziwen’s garden. There are dozens of kinds of chrysanthemums blooming in the cloud stone. Banquet, ahead of Chongyang Festival.
Because I have to accompany the driver that day.
Tu Jingchen was cold-tempered, but it was not bad to have Lin Jinyu do everything he could to mobilize the atmosphere. Poems were inevitable during the banquet.
In fact, Lin Jinyu is not good at poetry either. He used to concentrate on studying to test his fame, and he is far behind his sister Daiyu in terms of poetry.
Xu Ziwen said with a smile, "Jinyu is a little witty about pairings, but not good at poetry." Generally speaking, it is polite, but Xu Ziwen actually thinks that Lin Jinyu is not good at poetry.
Tu Jingchen didn't take it seriously, "It's not about ranking in the imperial examination. I made two songs for the sake of elegance. Start with you. Whoever doesn't do well will be punished."
Lin Jinyu put down the crab in his hand, and said in disbelief, "The emperor's words are too biased. No one but sir can say that you are wrong. Anyway, I don't have the guts. I dare not offend the emperor, so do I dare to offend sir? It's obvious that you all And me."
Tu Jingchen smiled, "That's all, so you don't have to pick your eyes and say that I bullied you. If you make two songs, I will give you a comment. You have caught up today, and ordinary people also have to see how I feel. Is there such a thing?" Free time." Lin Jinyu was extremely honored in his words.
If it were another person, it would be an honor to think that he burned high incense in his previous life. Lin Jinyu was really not so honored. He racked his brains to write out two chrysanthemum poems with his secretive expression.
Relying on the advantage of being a time traveler, Lin Jinyu shamelessly borrowed two chrysanthemum poems written by Xue Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Xu Ziwen was quite surprised, "Hey, you really have improved a lot?"
Tu Jingchen shook his head, took a sip of his wine and said, "I'm like a girl."
Lin Jinyu didn't take it seriously, "Tang Taizong has such a heroic spirit, all poets say that his style is not elegant and upright. It can be seen that poetry has nothing to do with people's temperament." Two poems caused a disaster.
After staying for a few days, on the Double Ninth Festival, Tu Jingchen served the emperor with all the officials and children to hold a banquet in the imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums. He planned to show off, but when it was his turn, he just recited a song.
When Tu Jingchen heard this, his face became uncomfortable, and he swept towards Lin Jinyu directly, and the wine cup in Lin Jinyu's hand fell to the ground, his surprise was definitely not feigned.
Lin Jinyu stood far away, only Wu You, who was beside him, handed him a handkerchief and wiped the wine on the skirt of his shirt. No one else paid attention, so Tu Jingchen stopped smiling, and said lightly, "This song is not high, Do another one."
The king of Xining didn't feel anything, thankful that he had a backup, and recited another song.
Tu Jingchen didn't speak at all, he conspired, could there be spies in Xu's residence?It shouldn't be the king of Xining, who framed the king of Xining?
Throughout the Double Ninth Festival, Tu Jingchen pondered over and over in conspiracy theories.
Discuss with Xu Ziwen first, "Do you think Lin Jinyu wrote that poem?"
Xu Ziwen said, "Jinyu's poems are only average, which is not good, but you can see that he is very spiritual to the pair... I can't be sure about Jinyu, I know how much the king of Xining has. Among the sons, he is the worst at reading, if he can make this kind of poem, I will be considered blind."
So I asked the king of Xining first. Even Gao Song was reprimanded by Tu Jingchen in the palace, and only he and the father and son of the king of Xining were left. Although the king of Xining was embarrassed, he did not hide it. The appearance of him cheating is telling the truth.
Tu Jingchen pointed at the tip of Xining King's nose and scolded, "You will be promising, and ask a concubine to catch you... When did she dedicate these two poems to you?"
Coincidentally and coincidentally, Lin Jinyu still read it first, and Tu Jingchen asked Xue Baochai's background again, and heard his son say that he was from Xue's family, hey, he was Ziwei's successor!Match the number!If someone else, Tu Jingchen might not know, but this person, Xue Baochai, he knew. He gave poisonous bird's nest to Lin Jinyu's sister back then. At that time, Lin Jinyu was fighting with the Rongguo Mansion, and Tu Jingchen heard the analysis on the spot.
What a witch!Looking at the dejected son kneeling on the ground, he was even more angry, "What kind of woman is hard to find! I just want to find someone who can administer medicine! You are not afraid that a dose of bird's nest medicine will kill your dog!"
The king of Xining said in shock, "Could it be true? My son is just a rumor."
"Rumours! Hmph, there's nothing wrong with it! Why don't you spread it to others! You really want sex and life!" Tu Jingchen took a breath, his eyes turned cold, "Go back and ask this Mr. Xue, these two songs Where did she get the poems? Let me tell you the truth, I ordered Lin Jinyu to compose chrysanthemum poems three days before she gave you the poems." A sneer curled up on the corner of her lips, "It's just a coincidence that the poems she wrote It's exactly the same as Lin Jinyu's! Where did she get this poem! If you don't know, just hand her over to Jin Yiwei!"
The king of Xining's mind was not slow, "Father Huang Mingjian, Mrs. Xue knew that my son would make a poem on the Double Ninth Festival and dedicated it to his son. Let's not talk about whether she has the ability to get Lin Xueshi's poems in the palace. If she knows this The poems were written by Xueshi Lin before the imperial court, so they cannot be presented to the ministers to make them embarrassing. Or Xue Shi’s previous works have been leaked out, and Xueshi Lin...get it."
Tu Jingchen hadn't tried Lin Jinyu yet, but he said, "How do the poems in the boudoir get out? Someone must praise and appreciate them to get out! Then it can't be just one or two people who know! How could Xue use so many I give you a well-known poem, and I tell you to come and fool me!"
The king of Xining didn't know what to say, this matter was a bit weird, and Tu Jingchen didn't make things difficult for him anymore, "Go, I'd better ask you clearly and give me an answer."
After the trial of King Xining, it was Lin Jinyu's turn.
Although Lin Jinyu was a hateful shoplifter, he would never admit it to death, and shook his head every time he asked.Anyway, Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth insisted that this poem was his original, as for why Xue Baochai would write the same poem as him, he was also surprised?
When Lin Jinyu told a lie, even he himself believed it to be true, but Tu Jingchen really didn't see any flaws, the key was that he had someone in the Lin family, and Lin Jinyu was indeed not suspicious at all.
After discussing with Xu Ziwen, Tu Jingchen checked all of Xu's guards, but still found no flaws.Hey, this is amazing!
Tu Jingchen tossed and turned over this matter, the more rigorous this matter is, the more it shows that the people behind it are not simple.Especially the Xue family, Tu Jingchen doesn't like the Xue family.
Speaking of which, the Xue family became one of the four major families as an imperial merchant, and there is still a story behind it.Ziwei Sheren has a more investment vision. At the beginning, he funded Emperor Taizu's rebellion, and Taizu did not treat these heroes badly when he conquered the country in the future.But there is another thing, the Xue family participated in the establishment of the General Administration Department. At that time, the country was not peaceful, and the Emperor Taizu occupied the capital, but there were still people outside who refused to accept the rebellion.
The Southern General Administration took Jinling as the center, and the four major families joined forces to form it. As a result, the Xue family became one of the four major families in Jinling as the emperor, while the Zhen family, which was favored by the emperor, lost the election.
Until the reign of the emperor, he still favored these four families very much, but once the emperor and his courtiers, the old saying is never wrong. Tu Jingchen doesn't like to hand over the eyes and ears of such emperors to the family for control. The family has become a sharp weapon in Tu Jingchen's hands.But the centipede is dead but not stiff, will the Xue family have a backup?
So the usual impression is very important, Lin Jinyu has a lot of eyes, but Tu Jingchen knows Lin Jinyu relatively well, moreover, Lin Ruhai died early, no matter how capable Lin Jinyu is, he still has no ability to find out about the inner courtyard of the county prince's mansion.King Xining is his own son, and Tu Jingchen doesn't believe that his son is so heartless.
Xue Baochai was the only one who was suspicious.
This matter has undergone extremely complicated investigations, and in the end it has not yet been solved.
Because Xue Baochai committed suicide.
She couldn't argue, and then her child had an accidental miscarriage, and she herself lost the favor of King Xining, and she still had to be interrogated.
She has no other way to escape except death.
In fact, even if she died, she still bears the crime, except for Lin Jinyu, no one knows, this time, Xue Baochai is really innocent.
