The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 66 How Smart is Little Concubine Zhong...
Concubine Zhong is such a smart person. After talking all day long, she quickly analyzed that the scene in Shui Lan's dream should have happened in reality, and the trouble was with that girl from the Lin family and Xiao Qi from the East Palace.
At the end, Concubine Zhong asked: "In your dream, in what year did the emperor abdicate to the emperor's son?"
Shui Lan swallowed again, and said in a low voice, "There are less than four years left."
Concubine Zhong's eyes sparkled a little, and she quickly restrained her expression and said, "Have you ever mentioned these things to others?"
Shui Lan shook her head and said: "How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter? If you are not careful, you will be killed. Madam, Shui Lan only told you, and will not confide a word to others in the future."
Little Concubine Zhong smiled and said: "It's good that you know, not everyone will believe such unfounded things, but it will definitely bring disaster. You keep a good secret, if you want to succeed in the palace one day, you will be indispensable." Good point. After talking for a whole day, I think you are tired, so I will send someone to take you back so that you can rest, and when you are done resting, you will still enter the palace to accompany Shisan."
Shui Lan should be, in order to show the importance she attaches to Shui Lan, Concubine Xiao Zhong sent her cronies to deliver Shui Lan, and also ordered the county lord to be sent to Beijing Palace.
On this day, Shui Lan entered the palace early in the morning, and even the lunch was sent to the room by Concubine Xiao Zhong's heirs. In Changkang Palace, no one was served except tea and water.
Before the key was dropped at the palace gate, Shui Lan was sent out by the confidant and servant next to Concubine Zhong, and then sent back to the Beijing Prince's Mansion in person.Because he couldn't return to the palace before the key was dropped at the palace gate, the servant stayed in the other courtyard for the night and returned to the palace early in the morning.This is quite an abnormal behavior, but Shui Lan is originally the companion of the Thirteenth Princess, and has always been in close contact with Changkang Palace, and everyone in the palace is used to it.
There is only one exception.It is a miracle that Situ Zhuo was able to grow up safely in the palace.Of course, before Situ Zhuo had the ability to protect himself, he was able to grow up safely, and the person he was most grateful to was Lin Qing.Therefore, Situ Zhuo respected his mother and concubine very much, and he was very close to Prince Rui, who was born of the concubine, and Princess Mingyue, who was also raised in the palace of the concubine.
Just before in the east of the city, Situ Zhuo was going to help Grandma Liu, but when he met the Lin family, Situ Zhuo’s original plan was to let Grandma Liu sell the future of the land to the Ruijun Palace. It can be seen that Situ Zhuo often travels to the Ruijun Palace of.
As a modern soldier, time travel into a book is really a fantastic and helpless thing.Of course, as a soldier with his true qualities, Shen Yuanzhuo would never sit still.After learning that he has become the youngest son of the deposed prince in Dream of Red Mansions, Shen Yuanzhuo, a modern soldier, will naturally struggle to survive and help Donggong get rid of the original fate.Therefore, Shen Yuanzhuo quickly adapted to his new identity and worked as Situ Zhuo for more than ten years.
Situ Zhuo naturally understands the truth of the most ruthless emperor's family, so while maintaining his closeness with the East Palace, he also tried his best to avoid making himself appear too outstanding.In fact, for Situ Zhuo, seizing the throne is not as attractive as returning to modern times, but it doesn't matter whether he is interested or not. The most important thing is that Situ Ruixin does not believe that he is not a threat to him.
So although Situ Zhuo also contributed to changing the direction of the original work, he carefully erased the credit.Then, depending on how close he is to Lin Qing and Situ Rui, even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future and Situ Rui confers the crown prince, he will be able to be a free king in peace.
Until Situ Zhuo learned that Shui Lan hadn't come out all day in Changkang Palace. When he came out, he was sitting on the chariot of Concubine Zhong, which was personally delivered by Concubine Zhong's cronies. Situ Zhuo knew that something was going to go wrong.
Soldiers are always more sensitive than ordinary people. What's more, Situ Zhuo was originally a very good soldier. He has participated in peacekeeping operations and is extremely talented in intelligence analysis.
Situ Zhuo has long suspected that there is something wrong with Shui Lan, either through time travel or rebirth, this time Shui Lan and Concubine Zhong have communicated for so long, probably because Shui Lan has already realized the secret of herself or Daiyu, and told Concubine Zhong.
Then Situ Zhuo started backtracking to find out what went wrong.Soon, he also doubted his actions during this time.No matter how good Daiyu was, Lin Ruhai was always the leader of the Lin family, which meant that Daiyu was covered by someone; as for herself, she probably made Changkang Palace aware of something when she sent training equipment to the Beijing camp this time.
Situ Zhuo was naturally anxious, but he had been in the palace for more than ten years, and he also knew that Concubine Zhong was one of the most capable women in the palace.In the past, Situ Zhuo dared to communicate with the Lin family because he was sure that Concubine Zhong didn't suspect him; now, Concubine Zhong and Concubine Shui Lan had a long talk, and with Concubine Zhong's wisdom, she would naturally monitor herself and Daiyu So now that I immediately write a letter to the Lin family, isn't it a self-inflicted trap for Concubine Zhong?
Situ Zhuo was anxious, but this time he didn't send any news to Daiyu immediately.After thinking for a while, he wrote a letter and called his bodyguard Lu Hao to tell him: "Send this letter to the old lady Liu quietly, and tell her not to let anyone know, and then bring it to Miss Lin in the Shangshu Mansion. Remember to tell me She can only hand it over to Miss Lin, and cannot let anyone else know about it, otherwise the Shangshufu will never buy the future of her land again."
Lu Hao was the bodyguard who followed Situ Zhuo when he was a child, and Situ Zhuo was not a real child. After more than ten years of rough seas and sandstorms, he left behind people who were absolutely trustworthy.This Lu Hao is the guard who was ordered by Situ Zhuo to temporarily take care of the money for Grandma Liu after meeting Grandma Liu in the east of the city.
Lu Hao took the letter from Situ Zhuo, remembered his instructions and went.
Situ Zhuo was relieved of Lu Hao's work. As for Grandma Liu, she had been delivering fresh melons and fruits to Lin's house for a while, and it probably wouldn't arouse Changkang Palace's suspicion.But Grandma Liu is just an untrained village woman after all, and this thread cannot be used frequently.In addition, there is the line of Liu Xianglian and Liu Xiang language, which will be gradually activated in the future.
Grandma Liu, as an honest person who knows how to repay her kindness, always picks the freshest crops from the field and sends them to the Minister's Mansion as soon as they are ripe.Because the vegetables and fruits ripen one after another, Grandma Liu often travels to and from the Shangshu Mansion, and everyone in the Lin family's concierge and kitchen knows her well.
This time, Mrs. Liu sent the things into the kitchen of Lin's family as usual, but she didn't say goodbye directly. Instead, she dragged someone to find Zhang He's family she was familiar with, and then asked Zhang He's family to bring a message to Daiyu.
After thinking about it for a while, Daiyu knew that it was not necessarily her own idea that Grandma Liu wanted to see her so seriously, and thinking that she still had contact with Grandma Liu, and that the only person who might want to send a letter to her was Situ Zhuo, so she withdrew. The servants met with grandma Liu alone.
Daiyu took the letter and asked Xueyan to give it to Grandma Liu as a reward, and then she opened the letter in the house and read it.
After all, Grandma Liu was not a professional intelligence officer, and Situ Zhuo had to be careful not to miss something in Grandma Liu's letter, so the letter was very short.That is, Shui Lan stayed in Changkang Palace for a whole day, and then left the palace in the carriage of Concubine Zhong.
Daiyu knew that Shui Lan was a time traveler, and combined with Situ Zhuo's letter, she immediately thought that Shui Lan might have a showdown with Concubine Zhong.
Then, with little concubine Zhong's wisdom, she would soon guess that she had a problem with Situ Zhuo.This is, Concubine Zhong finally found the right real opponent.
Daiyu's guess is true. In the past, Concubine Zhong thought that her biggest opponents were Lin Ruhai and Jia Jing.Only now did I realize that the stumbling block on my road to success were two puppies. This made Concubine Zhong, who had been invincible three years ago, feel an unprecedented setback for the first time.
Of course, Daiyu is not in the mood to think about Concubine Zhong's mood at this moment.As soon as there was a risk of leaking secrets, Situ Zhuo changed the information channel, which proved that Situ Zhuo was very careful.But the same intelligence channel is definitely not enough, Daiyu has to find a way to build a new intelligence channel.
This is not a problem for Daiyu, and Daiyu and Situ Zhuo thought of going together.Liu Xianglian is Situ Zhuo's companion, and Liu Xiangyu is Daiyu's close friend.Passing news through these two people is more convenient and safer than relying on Grandma Liu all the time.
That day, when Lin Ruhai came back from Luoya, Daiyu told Lin Ruhai that Changkang Palace might have discovered something extraordinary about the young prince.Daiyu didn't talk about herself. Firstly, no one in the Lin family knew what kind of adventures Daiyu had had, they only thought she was talented; secondly, it saved her family from worrying.
Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and also guessed that the problem was the two big guys that Situ Zhuo got out to do anti-vertigo training.He frowned and said, "In other words, Changkang Palace has also noticed that we are going to compete for the right to build a navy."
Daiyu nodded firmly.
Lin Ruhai didn't answer, just stared at Daiyu.Daiyu was thinking about things quite quietly, but she was still aware of the feeling of being stared at. Seeing that her father hadn't spoken for a long time, Daiyu raised her head and looked into her father's eyes.
Lin Ruhai said earnestly and earnestly: "Yu'er, no matter how powerful a person is, they need some support. There are some things that you don't have to take care of alone. Besides, no matter how smart you are, when you encounter someone violently hurting you, how can you, a little girl? How about it? The little prince has a noble status, and he is always accompanied by the big inner guards, and Yu'er, even if you go out, you only bring a few servants with you."
What a smart person Lin Ruhai is, Changkang Palace can infer Situ Zhuo's extraordinary talent from Situ Zhuo's contacts with Jingying, can't he see that Daiyu is abnormally intelligent?In the past, Changkang Palace must have thought that the biggest opponents were himself and Jia Jing, but now?
Not to mention anything else, how extraordinary the intelligence Daiyu displayed during the Peony Banquet; besides, Situ Zhuo once came to his home, when he was working in the yamen, and it was Situ Zhuo who was received by his wife and daughter, and Daiyu was in the yard. It's no secret to talk to Situ Zhuo alone.
In the past, when Situ Zhuo was in the capital, he was a little prince who didn't do his job properly and only loved to play with those strange skills and obscene things, so it was fine.Now Concubine Zhong is suspicious of Situ Zhuo, and if she thinks deeper, she can also find that Daiyu is different.
It wasn't that Lin Ruhai was self-effacing, it was because of the status of himself and Jia Jing, and the respect Emperor Taizong held for him and Jia Jing, Changkang Palace didn't dare to resort to lowly methods such as assassination unless it was absolutely necessary.The assassination of an important official in the court will definitely lead to a thorough investigation.Otherwise, if you kill the minister today, can you assassinate the king tomorrow?
As long as Changkang Palace is not sure that killing Lin Ruhai can seize power in one fell swoop, it will not make such a bad move.
But Daiyu is just a boudoir girl, even if she was born in the Shangshu Mansion and has a higher status, if an accident occurs, it will at most attract the attention of the Shuntian Mansion, and the rest can only be investigated by the Lin family themselves.The strength of Changkang Palace's operation for many years may not be impossible to do this.
Daiyu naturally thought of this too, but her father was already tired enough, so Daiyu didn't want her father to worry about it.Now that her father mentioned this, Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not that Yu'er didn't expect it this time. I told my mother before that I would invite the master of riding and archery. It was said that it was a spring invitation, but now it is only half a year in advance. Yu'er thought, I don't go to any secluded places, I usually take a few more people with me when I go out, be more careful, and learn a little riding and shooting, which is probably enough."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "It's so good, but it's hard to find a female gentleman with strong martial arts for a while. Mr. Liu has inherited martial arts from his family. I don't know how much Miss Liu has learned martial arts. How about asking Miss Liu to teach you sisters first?"
Daiyu laughed when she heard this, because Daiyu herself thought so: "Father thinks that this can be done in one fell swoop?"
The father and daughter had a lot of discussions, and many places can think of one thing, asking Liu Xiangyu to teach the sisters Daiyu how to ride and shoot, at least it solved the problem of the little prince delivering news to the Lin family.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Ming'er asked your mother to post a message to Mrs. Liu, asking what Liu Langzhong and Mrs. Liu mean."
This is not a bad thing for the Liu family, apart from the kindness of the ancestors of the Lin family to the Liu family, in terms of the future of Xiangyu, it is also a good thing to often associate with girls from Shangshufu.There was no difficulty in this matter, and it was settled quickly.
Because the Lin family just hired a female teacher, teaching three is also teaching, and teaching four is also teaching. On weekdays, Xiangyu also takes classes with the girls of the Lin family in the morning and teaches the sisters some martial arts in the afternoon.Because she was afraid that Xiangyu would be tired, Daiyu originally ordered someone to tidy up a small yard for Xiangyu.
Xiangyu felt that he would not live in Lin's house every day, but only occasionally for three or five days, and the yard was lonely, so he said that Daiyu's yard was big, and it would be great to tidy up a room, but he didn't know if Daiyu would let her Squeeze.
Naturally, Daiyu couldn't wish for it, and she often misses the days when later generations lived in barracks in the army, but the Lin family obviously has enough yards, and it's not easy to arrange for the sisters to squeeze together.Now there are little sisters in the same hospital as me, and I feel lively after thinking about it, so I decided on it.
Daiyu was actually prepared for such a thing as losing her horse, so she didn't panic.In the era of cold weapons, it is actually not that easy to assassinate a person.At least they won't be killed by a sniper without seeing who the killer is.
Daiyu specifically asked Xiang Yu whether a person with high martial arts skills really can kill people like the words in the scriptures saying that they can fly over the eaves and walk on the wall, picking up flowers and flying leaves.The answer I got was no, the so-called martial art is actually fighting art.Of course, the martial arts of the ancients were indeed stronger than those of later generations, mainly in the skill of using cold weapons.That is to say, swordsmanship, saber technique, etc., as mentioned by Tongchang Shuo, eighteen kinds of weapons.
Daiyu learned martial arts in the army in her previous life, and has gradually picked up some of them in the past two years. Although she hasn't taken strength training yet, she has some basic skills and agility. If she learns some cold weapons from Xiangyu, she will at least know a little bit. No ability to protect themselves.
Ever since Little Concubine Zhong knew the secret of Daiyu and Situ Zhuo, she also tried to lure the snake out of the hole.First, he communicated with the Ninth Prince and sent someone to watch over Situ Zhuo and the Lin family.Then he had a long secret talk with Shui Lan for several days in a row.As a result, Situ Zhuo remained silent.
This result was somewhat beyond Xiao Concubine Zhong's expectations.
When discussing with the Ninth Prince, Concubine Zhong was puzzled and said: "Situ Zhuo can make those weird things and use them in the training of soldiers in the Beijing camp, so that he can take advantage of the construction of the navy in the future. He Thinking of this, I thought he was so smart and scheming, but I didn't expect that he didn't respond after I tried it for a few days."
The Ninth Prince already knew about Shui Lan's adventure from the little Concubine Zhong, and knew that he was only one step away from success.How much injustice, how much regret and how much hatred there is, only he knows.Especially when the Ninth Prince knew that it was the two children who took away everything he had originally obtained, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
The Ninth Prince clenched his fists and said, "Concubine Mother, have you ever thought that Donggong Xiaoqi and that girl from the Lin family may not be some kind of monsters, and they may not necessarily be extremely smart."
In terms of wisdom pattern, Little Concubine Zhong was a small existence in the original world of Red Mansions. In her previous life, she was the woman who had the last laugh.Concubine Zhong also thought of all kinds of possibilities, and said: "This is what I have been probing these past few days. If Situ Zhuo is really intelligent, he should have noticed it, but he didn't move.
Then, there is another possibility that he had an adventure with that girl from the Lin family just like Shui Lan.Shui Lan can get warnings from dreams, can't they?In this way, it also makes sense why Lin Ruhai can plan everything ahead of us.Lin Ruhai was born in a real official family, and when he was young, he was a weak crown, but he was able to find Hualang's talents.As long as the girl from the Lin family tells Lin Ruhai the warning in her dream, Lin Ruhai can naturally plan to resolve the crisis in the East Palace.
Just like that Shui Lan, in terms of wisdom, she is just an ordinary girl.But because of the warning adventure in the dream, she can also design her own way to avoid the fate of marrying into the Second Prince's Mansion.After this trial, Situ Zhuo may also be the same as that girl Shui Lan, but because of an adventure, his own wisdom may not be much higher than ordinary people.
It was the girl of the Lin family, no matter whether it was she or Lin Ruhai who had really turned things around these years.Based on her ability at the Peony Banquet, she is a person who should not be underestimated. If she also had the same dream as Shui Lan, she would be even more powerful.It's a pity, such an adventure, why did they get it?If any of us, mother and child, have such an adventure, why worry about nothing happening! "Speaking of the last sentence, Concubine Zhong gritted her teeth quite a bit.
In all fairness, as a native of the ancients, Concubine Zhong, it is not easy to think of this level.However, the adventure between Daiyu and Situ Zhuo is not comparable to a reborn Shui Lan.
The Ninth Prince drew a trace of sternness on his face, and said: "If it is as expected by the mother and concubine, Situ Zhuo is just another water wave, so it is nothing to worry about. But that girl of the Lin family, if we do anything, that girl of the Lin family will be there She was warned in the dream, wouldn't she be invincible. How about..." At this point, the Ninth Prince gestured to wipe his neck, and popped out four words from between his teeth: "In order to prevent future troubles."
Little Concubine Zhong is not a soft-hearted person, and she doesn't think it's wrong for her mother and son to take the life of a little girl under ten years old.It doesn't matter how big things are, as long as they are obstacles on the road to greatness, they should be swept away.
Little Concubine Zhong's eyes narrowed into a line, and she nodded to the Ninth Prince.
Daiyu expected that her safety might be in trouble, so she didn't go out these days.The Little Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince can't directly send assassins to the Shangshu Mansion to assassinate them. As Daiyu knew before, there are not many people in the world of Red Mansions, and the Shangshu Mansion is not a place where they can come and go freely.Therefore, Changkang Palace did not find any opportunities until the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Because there are many things going on this year, the annual autumn hunting is avoided.In the case of Qiushou, an important household official like Lin Ruhai, who specializes in sea trade and has just tried it out, is a busy time, and most of the Lin family will stay in Beijing.But this year there will be no autumn hunting. For this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, a minister like Lin Ruhai is also an in-law of the East Palace, so naturally he will go.
Another feast without a good feast.
When talking about this matter, Jia Min was worried: "The little Concubine Zhong is currently assisting the Sixth Palace, so it's too easy to do anything. Master, if not, let Yu'er call her sick."
Lin Ruhai also thought about this question seriously: "Yu'er stays at home, it's the safest." Then he turned to look at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think?"
Daiyu analyzed calmly: "Last time, I had troubles with many young ladies in Cheng'en Gong's mansion. If I don't go, then the reputation of the Lin family's daughter will be spread. I don't care about it. After all, it will hinder the two sisters." Besides, if I don't go this time, wouldn't I be admitting my father's weakness to Changkang Palace?
The concubine who is in charge of the sixth palace has attracted many honorable families. Once I show my timidity this time, I don’t know how many invitations our family will receive in the future. Am I going to hide for the rest of my life?In the past, our family was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and Mrs. Wang buried nails in our house, which almost killed Brother Yu.An knows that such an ambitious person as Little Concubine Zhong has placed someone in another house.I went to another house for a banquet, did anyone do anything?
This time the palace banquet was presided over by Concubine Zhou Gui and Concubine Xiao Zhong who were in charge of the Sixth Palace. If there was a mistake, they would also have to take responsibility.Previously, the nine princes had exposed their ambitions in the competition set up by the officials of the Haimao Yamen. If there was another mistake in the palace banquet, it would be the death of Changkang Palace.So this time, I bet that Concubine Zhong didn't dare to do anything directly at the palace banquet.She is just testing our family's weakness and courage.
There are only those who are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Only when I go there openly, will Little Concubine Zhong feel that I am not that important to the Lin family.So what if I go?It's not me who is guilty. "
It is impossible to say that Lin Ruhai and his wife are not worried, but the daughter's idea has always been upright.Besides, Daiyu really has no reason to be trapped at home and cannot go out.
So Jia Min said: "That being said, even if you go to the palace banquet, you can't leave my side."
Daiyu nodded, with a confident brilliance on her face, she said: "Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on. The Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is full of people, and there is still my aunt, so what can I do? If Concubine Zhong is honest, it's fine if she has a heart." No way, the person who has something to do this time must not be me."
To be honest, Daiyu going to the palace banquet this time is no different from going to the Hongmen banquet alone.But in the past three years, Daiyu's ability has been unimaginable. Seeing this confident expression on Daiyu's face, Lin Ruhai feels inexplicably at ease.
At the end, Concubine Zhong asked: "In your dream, in what year did the emperor abdicate to the emperor's son?"
Shui Lan swallowed again, and said in a low voice, "There are less than four years left."
Concubine Zhong's eyes sparkled a little, and she quickly restrained her expression and said, "Have you ever mentioned these things to others?"
Shui Lan shook her head and said: "How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter? If you are not careful, you will be killed. Madam, Shui Lan only told you, and will not confide a word to others in the future."
Little Concubine Zhong smiled and said: "It's good that you know, not everyone will believe such unfounded things, but it will definitely bring disaster. You keep a good secret, if you want to succeed in the palace one day, you will be indispensable." Good point. After talking for a whole day, I think you are tired, so I will send someone to take you back so that you can rest, and when you are done resting, you will still enter the palace to accompany Shisan."
Shui Lan should be, in order to show the importance she attaches to Shui Lan, Concubine Xiao Zhong sent her cronies to deliver Shui Lan, and also ordered the county lord to be sent to Beijing Palace.

This is not a problem for Daiyu, and Daiyu and Situ Zhuo thought of going together.Liu Xianglian is Situ Zhuo's companion, and Liu Xiangyu is Daiyu's close friend.Passing news through these two people is more convenient and safer than relying on Grandma Liu all the time.
That day, when Lin Ruhai came back from Luoya, Daiyu told Lin Ruhai that Changkang Palace might have discovered something extraordinary about the young prince.Daiyu didn't talk about herself. Firstly, no one in the Lin family knew what kind of adventures Daiyu had had, they only thought she was talented; secondly, it saved her family from worrying.
Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and also guessed that the problem was the two big guys that Situ Zhuo got out to do anti-vertigo training.He frowned and said, "In other words, Changkang Palace has also noticed that we are going to compete for the right to build a navy."
Daiyu nodded firmly.
Lin Ruhai didn't answer, just stared at Daiyu.Daiyu was thinking about things quite quietly, but she was still aware of the feeling of being stared at. Seeing that her father hadn't spoken for a long time, Daiyu raised her head and looked into her father's eyes.
Lin Ruhai said earnestly and earnestly: "Yu'er, no matter how powerful a person is, they need some support. There are some things that you don't have to take care of alone. Besides, no matter how smart you are, when you encounter someone violently hurting you, how can you, a little girl? How about it? The little prince has a noble status, and he is always accompanied by the big inner guards, and Yu'er, even if you go out, you only bring a few servants with you."
What a smart person Lin Ruhai is, Changkang Palace can infer Situ Zhuo's extraordinary talent from Situ Zhuo's contacts with Jingying, can't he see that Daiyu is abnormally intelligent?In the past, Changkang Palace must have thought that the biggest opponents were himself and Jia Jing, but now?
Not to mention anything else, how extraordinary the intelligence Daiyu displayed during the Peony Banquet; besides, Situ Zhuo once came to his home, when he was working in the yamen, and it was Situ Zhuo who was received by his wife and daughter, and Daiyu was in the yard. It's no secret to talk to Situ Zhuo alone.
In the past, when Situ Zhuo was in the capital, he was a little prince who didn't do his job properly and only loved to play with those strange skills and obscene things, so it was fine.Now Concubine Zhong is suspicious of Situ Zhuo, and if she thinks deeper, she can also find that Daiyu is different.
It wasn't that Lin Ruhai was self-effacing, it was because of the status of himself and Jia Jing, and the respect Emperor Taizong held for him and Jia Jing, Changkang Palace didn't dare to resort to lowly methods such as assassination unless it was absolutely necessary.The assassination of an important official in the court will definitely lead to a thorough investigation.Otherwise, if you kill the minister today, can you assassinate the king tomorrow?
As long as Changkang Palace is not sure that killing Lin Ruhai can seize power in one fell swoop, it will not make such a bad move.
But Daiyu is just a boudoir girl, even if she was born in the Shangshu Mansion and has a higher status, if an accident occurs, it will at most attract the attention of the Shuntian Mansion, and the rest can only be investigated by the Lin family themselves.The strength of Changkang Palace's operation for many years may not be impossible to do this.
Daiyu naturally thought of this too, but her father was already tired enough, so Daiyu didn't want her father to worry about it.Now that her father mentioned this, Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not that Yu'er didn't expect it this time. I told my mother before that I would invite the master of riding and archery. It was said that it was a spring invitation, but now it is only half a year in advance. Yu'er thought, I don't go to any secluded places, I usually take a few more people with me when I go out, be more careful, and learn a little riding and shooting, which is probably enough."
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "It's so good, but it's hard to find a female gentleman with strong martial arts for a while. Mr. Liu has inherited martial arts from his family. I don't know how much Miss Liu has learned martial arts. How about asking Miss Liu to teach you sisters first?"
Daiyu laughed when she heard this, because Daiyu herself thought so: "Father thinks that this can be done in one fell swoop?"
The father and daughter had a lot of discussions, and many places can think of one thing, asking Liu Xiangyu to teach the sisters Daiyu how to ride and shoot, at least it solved the problem of the little prince delivering news to the Lin family.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Ming'er asked your mother to post a message to Mrs. Liu, asking what Liu Langzhong and Mrs. Liu mean."
This is not a bad thing for the Liu family, apart from the kindness of the ancestors of the Lin family to the Liu family, in terms of the future of Xiangyu, it is also a good thing to often associate with girls from Shangshufu.There was no difficulty in this matter, and it was settled quickly.
Because the Lin family just hired a female teacher, teaching three is also teaching, and teaching four is also teaching. On weekdays, Xiangyu also takes classes with the girls of the Lin family in the morning and teaches the sisters some martial arts in the afternoon.Because she was afraid that Xiangyu would be tired, Daiyu originally ordered someone to tidy up a small yard for Xiangyu.
Xiangyu felt that he would not live in Lin's house every day, but only occasionally for three or five days, and the yard was lonely, so he said that Daiyu's yard was big, and it would be great to tidy up a room, but he didn't know if Daiyu would let her Squeeze.
Naturally, Daiyu couldn't wish for it, and she often misses the days when later generations lived in barracks in the army, but the Lin family obviously has enough yards, and it's not easy to arrange for the sisters to squeeze together.Now there are little sisters in the same hospital as me, and I feel lively after thinking about it, so I decided on it.
Daiyu was actually prepared for such a thing as losing her horse, so she didn't panic.In the era of cold weapons, it is actually not that easy to assassinate a person.At least they won't be killed by a sniper without seeing who the killer is.
Daiyu specifically asked Xiang Yu whether a person with high martial arts skills really can kill people like the words in the scriptures saying that they can fly over the eaves and walk on the wall, picking up flowers and flying leaves.The answer I got was no, the so-called martial art is actually fighting art.Of course, the martial arts of the ancients were indeed stronger than those of later generations, mainly in the skill of using cold weapons.That is to say, swordsmanship, saber technique, etc., as mentioned by Tongchang Shuo, eighteen kinds of weapons.
Daiyu learned martial arts in the army in her previous life, and has gradually picked up some of them in the past two years. Although she hasn't taken strength training yet, she has some basic skills and agility. If she learns some cold weapons from Xiangyu, she will at least know a little bit. No ability to protect themselves.
Ever since Little Concubine Zhong knew the secret of Daiyu and Situ Zhuo, she also tried to lure the snake out of the hole.First, he communicated with the Ninth Prince and sent someone to watch over Situ Zhuo and the Lin family.Then he had a long secret talk with Shui Lan for several days in a row.As a result, Situ Zhuo remained silent.
This result was somewhat beyond Xiao Concubine Zhong's expectations.
When discussing with the Ninth Prince, Concubine Zhong was puzzled and said: "Situ Zhuo can make those weird things and use them in the training of soldiers in the Beijing camp, so that he can take advantage of the construction of the navy in the future. He Thinking of this, I thought he was so smart and scheming, but I didn't expect that he didn't respond after I tried it for a few days."
The Ninth Prince already knew about Shui Lan's adventure from the little Concubine Zhong, and knew that he was only one step away from success.How much injustice, how much regret and how much hatred there is, only he knows.Especially when the Ninth Prince knew that it was the two children who took away everything he had originally obtained, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
The Ninth Prince clenched his fists and said, "Concubine Mother, have you ever thought that Donggong Xiaoqi and that girl from the Lin family may not be some kind of monsters, and they may not necessarily be extremely smart."
In terms of wisdom pattern, Little Concubine Zhong was a small existence in the original world of Red Mansions. In her previous life, she was the woman who had the last laugh.Concubine Zhong also thought of all kinds of possibilities, and said: "This is what I have been probing these past few days. If Situ Zhuo is really intelligent, he should have noticed it, but he didn't move.
Then, there is another possibility that he had an adventure with that girl from the Lin family just like Shui Lan.Shui Lan can get warnings from dreams, can't they?In this way, it also makes sense why Lin Ruhai can plan everything ahead of us.Lin Ruhai was born in a real official family, and when he was young, he was a weak crown, but he was able to find Hualang's talents.As long as the girl from the Lin family tells Lin Ruhai the warning in her dream, Lin Ruhai can naturally plan to resolve the crisis in the East Palace.
Just like that Shui Lan, in terms of wisdom, she is just an ordinary girl.But because of the warning adventure in the dream, she can also design her own way to avoid the fate of marrying into the Second Prince's Mansion.After this trial, Situ Zhuo may also be the same as that girl Shui Lan, but because of an adventure, his own wisdom may not be much higher than ordinary people.
It was the girl of the Lin family, no matter whether it was she or Lin Ruhai who had really turned things around these years.Based on her ability at the Peony Banquet, she is a person who should not be underestimated. If she also had the same dream as Shui Lan, she would be even more powerful.It's a pity, such an adventure, why did they get it?If any of us, mother and child, have such an adventure, why worry about nothing happening! "Speaking of the last sentence, Concubine Zhong gritted her teeth quite a bit.
In all fairness, as a native of the ancients, Concubine Zhong, it is not easy to think of this level.However, the adventure between Daiyu and Situ Zhuo is not comparable to a reborn Shui Lan.
The Ninth Prince drew a trace of sternness on his face, and said: "If it is as expected by the mother and concubine, Situ Zhuo is just another water wave, so it is nothing to worry about. But that girl of the Lin family, if we do anything, that girl of the Lin family will be there She was warned in the dream, wouldn't she be invincible. How about..." At this point, the Ninth Prince gestured to wipe his neck, and popped out four words from between his teeth: "In order to prevent future troubles."
Little Concubine Zhong is not a soft-hearted person, and she doesn't think it's wrong for her mother and son to take the life of a little girl under ten years old.It doesn't matter how big things are, as long as they are obstacles on the road to greatness, they should be swept away.
Little Concubine Zhong's eyes narrowed into a line, and she nodded to the Ninth Prince.
Daiyu expected that her safety might be in trouble, so she didn't go out these days.The Little Concubine Zhong and the Ninth Prince can't directly send assassins to the Shangshu Mansion to assassinate them. As Daiyu knew before, there are not many people in the world of Red Mansions, and the Shangshu Mansion is not a place where they can come and go freely.Therefore, Changkang Palace did not find any opportunities until the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Because there are many things going on this year, the annual autumn hunting is avoided.In the case of Qiushou, an important household official like Lin Ruhai, who specializes in sea trade and has just tried it out, is a busy time, and most of the Lin family will stay in Beijing.But this year there will be no autumn hunting. For this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, a minister like Lin Ruhai is also an in-law of the East Palace, so naturally he will go.
Another feast without a good feast.
When talking about this matter, Jia Min was worried: "The little Concubine Zhong is currently assisting the Sixth Palace, so it's too easy to do anything. Master, if not, let Yu'er call her sick."
Lin Ruhai also thought about this question seriously: "Yu'er stays at home, it's the safest." Then he turned to look at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think?"
Daiyu analyzed calmly: "Last time, I had troubles with many young ladies in Cheng'en Gong's mansion. If I don't go, then the reputation of the Lin family's daughter will be spread. I don't care about it. After all, it will hinder the two sisters." Besides, if I don't go this time, wouldn't I be admitting my father's weakness to Changkang Palace?
The concubine who is in charge of the sixth palace has attracted many honorable families. Once I show my timidity this time, I don’t know how many invitations our family will receive in the future. Am I going to hide for the rest of my life?In the past, our family was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and Mrs. Wang buried nails in our house, which almost killed Brother Yu.An knows that such an ambitious person as Little Concubine Zhong has placed someone in another house.I went to another house for a banquet, did anyone do anything?
This time the palace banquet was presided over by Concubine Zhou Gui and Concubine Xiao Zhong who were in charge of the Sixth Palace. If there was a mistake, they would also have to take responsibility.Previously, the nine princes had exposed their ambitions in the competition set up by the officials of the Haimao Yamen. If there was another mistake in the palace banquet, it would be the death of Changkang Palace.So this time, I bet that Concubine Zhong didn't dare to do anything directly at the palace banquet.She is just testing our family's weakness and courage.
There are only those who are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Only when I go there openly, will Little Concubine Zhong feel that I am not that important to the Lin family.So what if I go?It's not me who is guilty. "
It is impossible to say that Lin Ruhai and his wife are not worried, but the daughter's idea has always been upright.Besides, Daiyu really has no reason to be trapped at home and cannot go out.
So Jia Min said: "That being said, even if you go to the palace banquet, you can't leave my side."
Daiyu nodded, with a confident brilliance on her face, she said: "Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on. The Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is full of people, and there is still my aunt, so what can I do? If Concubine Zhong is honest, it's fine if she has a heart." No way, the person who has something to do this time must not be me."
To be honest, Daiyu going to the palace banquet this time is no different from going to the Hongmen banquet alone.But in the past three years, Daiyu's ability has been unimaginable. Seeing this confident expression on Daiyu's face, Lin Ruhai feels inexplicably at ease.
