The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

The meeting between Sister Daiyu and Prime Minister Wen became a tacit understanding between the two families, and no one spread it to the outside world.Naturally, the other guests in the prime minister's mansion that day only thought that the prime minister's wife had seen the two sisters Daiyu, and did not know that it was actually Prime Minister Wen who met them.

On the other hand, the aftermath of the dispute over the post of Governor of Guangdong and Hai has not yet ended.

First of all, when the mother and son of the concubine Zhong in Changkang Palace resumed the game, it could be clearly seen that the East Palace had attracted a wave of people's hearts, and Prime Minister Wen also obviously favored the East Palace.

The Ninth Prince's face was full of anger, and he said unhappily: "Prime Minister Wen is known as the head of Qingliu, and he always puts the overall situation first, and considers himself impartial. But isn't it obvious that he is favoring the East Palace this time?"

Concubine Xiao Zhong naturally did not hide what Prime Minister Wen did, but Concubine Zhong had to admit that Prime Minister Wen was not partial to anyone.So Concubine Zhong said: "My lord, in terms of etiquette and orthodoxy, Wen Cheng's move is impartial. He is not partial to the East Palace, but the court is the most important thing."

The Ninth Prince is someone who wants to fight for the big position, so he naturally understands the truth.It's just that during this period of time, the Ninth Prince became a little restless due to successive miscalculations.After calming down, the Ninth Prince also quickly got into the mood: "Mother, Concubine, why do I feel that since the Lin family entered the capital, the East Palace has behaved a lot of evil ways. On the surface, the East Palace does not fight or grab, but in fact, no matter what, It’s all benefiting Donggong.”

Concubine Zhong's complexion became serious, this was also what made her feel tricky. "But emperor, the East Palace is orthodox. If you don't fight or grab it, everything should belong to him. If we don't fight or grab it, we will have nothing. It's just... since Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, the behavior of the East Palace seems to have changed. Sex, knowing when to fight and when not to fight."

Regarding this point, not only the Ninth Prince felt powerless, but the little concubine Zhong also felt powerless, saying: "This matter is indeed a bit tricky, you let the concubine mother think about it."

The Ninth Prince still listened to Little Concubine Zhong very much, so he really sat and drank tea quietly beside him.After a while, Concubine Zhong said: "Your Majesty, did you say that at the Great Court Meeting, many generals elected Shi Guangzhu as Governor of Guangdong and Sea?"

The Ninth Prince nodded, there was no need for Little Concubine Zhong to say this, the Ninth Prince himself knew that this was bad.Regardless of what kind of messages the two families communicated after the girl from the Lin family contacted the girl from the Shi family, the Shi family would be disappointed just to say that few generals in the court spoke for Shi Ding and that the Ninth Prince himself did not express his opinion.

"At that time, the debate in the court was very fierce. If the military officer did not fight for reason, the position of governor of Guangdong and Hai would very likely fall on Ye Hongde's head, and it was not acceptable to us. When the morality was getting red in the face, the crown prince came out and said that kindness and strictness, which is very elegant." The Ninth Prince said.

Little Concubine Zhong nodded, and said: "See? It's so loud. Maybe the East Palace made up its mind from the very beginning to further drive us apart from Zhong Jinghou. Lord Marquis of the Guangdong Sea military power, the East Palace has benefited tremendously this time."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince was very frustrated.I could see it, even before the court was over, but it was already too late.Shi Nai is at the top, even if Shi Ding comes back and tells him that we don't mean that, we are just worried that your position will be taken away by Jia Daishan's old department, it will not help.

What does this mean from Shi Ding's point of view?What you care about is whether the position of Governor of Guangdong and Hai is in your hands, and you don’t care who is the governor of Guangdong and Hai. Then what is my majestic Zhongjinghou?It's chilling to think about it.

If Shi Ding is mediocre, forget it. If he has real talents and hard work, why not take the avenue of Yangguan, accompany you in seeking wealth and danger, and may become an abandoned child at any time?So Shi Ding's choice is self-evident.

"But mother and concubine, I can't take back what I said, so let's just keep doing it." Speaking of this, the Ninth Prince's eyes showed a stern look.

Little Concubine Zhong is not a kind person, her wisdom is also there, so she naturally knows what the Ninth Prince said, so she nodded and said: "I will arrange it."

In addition to the mother and son of Changkang Palace, Baolinghou and his wife were also extremely dissatisfied with the affairs at the Dachao meeting. Baolinghou complained: "See? If you have doubts, look for opportunities to replace them. If it’s time to give up the pawns to protect the handsome, our family will become pawns that can be discarded at any time.”

Mrs. Baolinghou has the qualities to be a family wife, and she also has a heart. Just looking at her attitude towards Xiangyun in her previous life, she not only gave Xiangyun a good education, but also took him out to increase his knowledge. Later she said If you are a close relative like Wei Ruolan, you will know.

Changkang Palace's behavior this time, even if Mrs. Baolinghou is seen by a woman, it doesn't look like it.So Mrs. Baolinghou said: "This time when the third uncle comes back, the master will discuss the future with the third uncle. The correspondence between the Lin family and the Lin family last time, I was really tricked by the girl of the Lin family. Who knew it was just a little girl?" Girls fighting poetry can also cause many things.

Not to mention that I took Yun girl into Changkang Palace and explained it sincerely when I knew about it. It was just that the girl from the Lin family sent someone to our house to deliver a letter. How could Changkang Palace know so clearly? ?This is evidence that Changkang Palace has not trusted us enough.The master and the third uncle receive the salary from the imperial court, so it is not to the extent that they have to report their every move to the Changkang Palace.Why does she monitor our house? "Speaking of this matter, Madam Bowling was also annoyed.

Bao Linghou sighed and said: "Take good care of your mother these days, and use the best medicinal materials. You must send a reliable maid to guard the decoction, and don't be tampered with."

In a family with high officials and rich salary, if the elders in the family get sick, it will be like facing a formidable enemy.

Mrs. Baolinghou said: "I'm self-reflecting on this. Just when I'm decocting medicine for the old lady, I must arrange someone who I can trust in the room and the old lady's room to watch it together. What is the attitude of the concubine, she is very close to the little Concubine Zhong every day."

Speaking of his sister, Bao Linghou was a little annoyed.If it weren't for the fact that she and Concubine Zhong were too close, when the brothers made military achievements, they took the way of Concubine Zhong to win a marquis, and the historians would not be so passive now.

However, Bao Linghou didn't give birth to the thought of taking care of his own sister, the married aunt was from the Zhong family, and it was not his turn to take care of it.So Bao Linghou said: "Every family has its own family. My aunt has her own reasons for doing things. Let's just take care of our own family. The Zhong family is not only the prince's natal family, but also the ninth prince's natal family. Invincible. No one in our family is blessed."

Mrs. Bowling Hou heard this and said nothing more.

Old Mrs. Baoling Hou's condition did not get worse, nor did she get better.On the contrary, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, and Mother Jia also came and sent a hundred-year-old ginseng, which vaguely grew into a human shape.

Jia's mother was born in Baolinghou's mansion, so she and Mrs. Baolinghou are sisters-in-law.Mrs. Baolinghou saw such a good thing from her aunt, but she didn't use it immediately.That is, there is no shortage of good things in Baolinghou's mansion, and ginseng of this quality is also rare. Generally speaking, ginseng of this quality is used to hang people's lives when they are in critical condition. Now Mrs. Baolinghou's condition is It is stable, so there is no need to apply such a strong medicinal ginseng.

With Situ Zhuo, an intelligence officer in the palace, Daiyu saved a lot of trouble.Just before Jia's mother returned to the historian's house to visit Mrs. Bolinghou, Daiyu received a message from Situ Zhuo, saying that Jia Yuanchun sent a batch of things out of the palace.

Now Jia Yuanchun is working in Xiaozhong Concubine's palace, although Xiaozhong Concubine hates the Lin family so much that she vomits blood, but she is very kind to Jia Yuanchun.Especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, because Daiyu and Su Lan forced Concubine Zhong to temporarily lose the power of the palace, Jia Yuanchun felt that he and Concubine Zhong had a bit of the same hatred, and became more loyal to Concubine Zhong.

These little bell concubines are all in the eyes, when rewarding other palace people, there must be Jia Yuanchun.So despite the fact that Jia Yuanchun's father was a fifth-rank official, and his mother was convicted, Yuanchun did not suffer any grievances in the palace.

Originally, passing things home in Yuanchun was not something worthy of attention, and palace people with lower backgrounds would pass things home to subsidize their families.With Yuan Chun's background, her family naturally doesn't need her subsidies, but if you get something good, it is also a due duty to honor the elders in the family.

But it was just this little episode, after Daiyu got the news, she still told Lin Ruhai behind Jia Min's back: "Father, look, it really is here. If grandma is going to visit Mrs. Baolinghou's condition in a few days, I would rather It’s better to be on guard in advance.”

Lin Ruhai naturally knew what Daiyu meant, and said: "Using a knife to kill people is a common method used by Changkang Palace. Besides, if there is no problem with the medicinal materials sent by the mother-in-law, the old Baolinghou's mansion will go, Shi Ding naturally To observe filial piety, the position of governor of Guangdong and Hai may still fall on Shi Guangzhu's head. If Mrs. Baolinghou goes, and it is found out that there is something wrong with the medicinal materials sent by her mother-in-law, Changkang Palace will also have a way to bring this matter to our house The Rongguo Mansion is my Yue family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my brother-in-law, so the historians will inevitably think about it; besides, Yu’er, you have cut the face of the daughter of the historian, so if you calculate it carefully, the historian may even regard our family as an enemy."

It's a poisonous strategy, as long as Mrs. Baolinghou uses the medicinal materials sent by Jia's mother, and Mrs. Mrs. Baolinghou has three ups and downs, Changkang Palace will be invincible.Then Mrs. Baolinghou will use the medicinal materials sent by Jia Mu?Most likely they would. After all, even if the Baolinghou Mansion took precautions, it would not be able to prevent the old aunt of the Shi family.

While listening to Lin Ruhai's analysis, Daiyu continued to serve Lin Ruhai tea, and said: "The Ninth Prince Concubine is the daughter of the marquis of Northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang produces ginseng, and Changkang Palace will definitely produce the best ginseng in the world. The best ginseng is It is used for hanging, and the bet is whether it can be lifted in one breath.

If the old ginseng that my grandmother sent to Baolinghou's mansion was really the best old ginseng, it would probably be used when Mrs. Baolinghou's condition deteriorated.At that time, even if something happened to Mrs. Baoling Hou, it would most likely be judged to be her fate, and the possibility of finding out the problem was extremely small.However, I think Uncle Liu can cure Mrs. Bolinghou's illness, but I don't know if the historians dare to use Uncle Liu. "

Daiyu has this kind of ability, not only can guard against Changkang Palace borrowing a knife to kill someone, but also can roughly guess what kind of knife Changkang Palace borrowed.

Lin Ruhai said: "There is a rift between our family and Marquis Baoling's residence. If I remind Marquis Baoling, it will only cause others. I hope that Prime Minister Wen recommends Liu Langzhong, and Marquis Baoling's residence is willing to use it. Dare to use it."

Daiyu nodded.

Even though the father and daughter have analyzed all the possibilities, they also know that the Baolinghou's Mansion will not adopt the Lin family's suggestion, so what happens to the old Baolinghou's mansion depends on how her own children choose.

However, Daiyu is still somewhat optimistic about the fact that Baolinghou and his wife asked Liu Xing to consult Mrs. Baolinghou.

Mrs. Xue is still the direct sister of Wang Ziteng and Wang's family. Didn't Patriarch Xue also go to Baoqingtang for consultation.Moreover, the disease that was not cured by the imperial concubine, Patriarch Xue's condition really improved day by day after Liu Langzhong took action.This at least shows that Liu Xing's medical skills and medical ethics are guaranteed.Because the Liu family and the Lin family have a good relationship, and the Wang family has an enmity with the Lin family, they will not hide their secrets when they are treating Patriarch Xue.Then, although the historian and the Lin family have conflicts, there is no great hatred. If the historian asks Liu Xing for medical treatment, he should be at ease.

After more than a month like this, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding finally returned to Beijing.

Naturally, after guarding the border for many years, the first thing Shi Ding did when he came back was to enter the palace to face the saint.According to Situ Zhuo's news, Shi Ding entered the study room and communicated with Emperor Taizong for a long time, but Situ Zhuo naturally couldn't find out the specific content, and it was also difficult for others to find out.But according to Situ Zhuo's judgment, Emperor Taizong was not angry either.

When Miansheng returned to the mansion, Shi Ding talked with his brother and sister-in-law about the situation in Beijing these years.Of course Shi Ding had heard about the major events that Lin Ruhai did after he became Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he certainly didn't know as much as Shi Nai, who had been in the capital all along.

Shi Ding spent three whole days listening to his brother and sister-in-law talk about what happened in the capital in recent years, and then asked, "Can the second sister-in-law tell me more about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?"

In fact, it has been a long time since the palace banquet, but because the performance of the two sisters of the Lin family was so amazing that Mrs. Bowlinghou still remembers it so vividly that she didn't even need to call the maid who brought her to help recall it, so she almost The two sisters Daiyu repeated what they had said.

Shi Ding didn't make any comments, and asked Shi Nai again: "Second brother, can you tell me about how to arrange me at the Great Court Conference?"

Regarding this matter, Shi Nai was very angry, so he also remembered it deeply.Of course, there was fierce debate at the court meeting.Shi Nai didn't have the ability to recount everything, but Shi Nai knew which important ministers stood for what position.Therefore, Shi Nai also talked about what happened at the meeting, and added his own understanding and analysis.

After Shi Ding listened carefully, he said again: "Second sister-in-law, can you show me the ten peony poems sent by Miss Lin?"

Shi Ding's request is quite strange, and now he is in the mood to read some boudoir poems.But Shi Ding is a rare person because he has real skills, and his mind is quite right. He didn't fight Wang Ziteng's idea that it is mine to destroy his elder brother's title, but went out early to make contributions.So Shi Nai and his wife still liked this brother very much, and convinced Shi Ding's ability, they brought back the ten poems written by Daiyu that day.

Of course, Daiyu's original letter has been left in Changkang Palace, and now the people from Baolinghou's mansion have brought the transcript.Shi Nai and his wife thought it was superfluous, but Shi Ding felt it was very necessary, because a person's poems can reflect a person's state of mind.

Daiyu's poems are naturally good, and they were excellent in her previous life, but in her previous life, Daiyu was lonely and helpless, and the artistic conception of her poems was a bit sad and sad; but now, Daiyu's poems have the air of a king, and they don't look like boudoir poems.

Naturally, Daiyu couldn't put it down when she traveled to later generations, especially the poems of Mao Zedong, the great man of the Chinese generation, not to mention the rhythm, just the pattern and atmosphere are no longer second-guessing.Naturally, Daiyu's poems have not reached the style of Mao's poems, but they are not as graceful and lingering as in the previous life, with their own majestic atmosphere.

Shi Ding only scanned Daiyu's poem once and thought to himself: There is such a strange woman in the world!This is Shi Ding's admiration when he read the transcript. If Shi Ding read the original version and paired it with Daiyu's excellent handwriting that pierces the paper, he would be astonished.

"If there is a chance, I would like to meet Miss Lin." Shi Ding said.

Shi Nai and Mrs. Baolinghou also knew poetry, but they really thought that the ten poems sent by Daiyu were ghostwritten by Lin Ruhai.So Mrs. Baolinghou said: "What did you see her doing? Although this girl is a bit evil, this poem should be written by Lin Ruhai."

"How do you see it?" Shi Ding raised his head and asked.

Mrs. Baolinghou said: "You just look at this poem, how can it be written by a nine-year-old child, let alone a girl? Besides, you haven't read her handwriting, which is faintly majestic, and it doesn't look like a poem. A girl can write it."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Baolinghou looked dejected: "It's all my fault. When the Lin family sent a letter suddenly, I already saw that the handwriting of the poem was wrong, so I asked Xiangyun to reply. I was thinking about the daughter of the Lin family. The poem was written by Lin Ruhai, and Xiangyun's poem was written by the daughter of the boudoir. Even if she loses, she will be ashamed to death. Who knows that Lin Ruhai is scheming, pretending to let his daughter compete with poetry, but he dug a trap for us. You want to drive a wedge between us and Changkang Palace."

Shi Ding shook his head and said: "This poem is probably not written by Lin Ruhai." After a pause, he continued: "But I have been away from Beijing for many years, maybe Lin Ruhai's realm has improved. Second brother, can you find some poems written by Lin Ruhai in recent years for me? have a look?"

Shi Nai and Mrs. Baolinghou looked at each other, and they both looked like Shi Ding was still Shi Ding.How should I put it, Shi Ding was the most outstanding among the disciples of the historian family back then.For example, the details mentioned by Shi Ding, Miss Lin is a boudoir girl, and her poems are not published, so it is not easy to compare; Lin Ruhai is a famous official in the dynasty, and her poems were even copied and practiced by many students. If you compare them, you can judge Are those ten peony poems written by Lin Ruhai?

Of course, everyone can change the style of real poetry. It is not impossible for Lin Ruhai to deliberately write ten peony poems in a style that is not usually used; it is not impossible to ask the Lin family counselor to write, but it is better to make a comparison than to draw conclusions arbitrarily. .

Shi Nai said: "I'll go and ask." Historians also have counselors of the Qing Dynasty, and poems written by famous courtiers. Many of these counselors are very familiar with them, and they can quickly find them.

Comparing the two, it turns out that these ten peony poems are not in Lin Ruhai's usual style.

After comparing the two sets of poems, Shi Ding asked again: "Brother and sister-in-law, do you know if Miss Lin went out to socialize after the meeting to discuss the position of Governor-General of Guangdong and Hai?"

This person from Baolinghou's residence knew that Daiyu only went out once after the Great Court Meeting or after the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and that was to be a guest at Prime Minister Wen's residence.

Shi Ding didn't say anything after listening, just nodded, then picked up the ten peony poems to read again, and directly came to the conclusion: "There are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. This poem must be written by Miss Lin."

After finishing speaking, he got up and said: "It's getting late, brother and sister-in-law should also go to bed early, I will visit Prime Minister Wen tomorrow." Then he got up and saluted Shi Nai and his wife, leaving behind the inexplicable Shi Nai and his wife, and went back to his room went.

After so many years, Shi Ding is still the same Shi Ding.In fact, in Shi Nai's eyes, Shi Ding is a bit of a god.From small to low, Shi Ding can sum up the rules and draw conclusions from some seemingly irrelevant subtle clues.

In the eyes of the eldest brother Shi Nai and Shi Nai himself, Shi Ding was simply whimsical, and his conclusions were completely irrelevant to the evidence.But Shi Ding is often proved to be right afterwards.

When he was young, Shi Ding would explain things to his elder brother. Later, when he saw that his elder brother either couldn't understand, or strongly opposed it, Shi Ding didn't bother to argue, and left with conclusions.

Shi Ding certainly had his own reasons for judging Daiyu's extraordinary talent: for example, there are very few precedents for holding a large-scale Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in this dynasty, why is it held this year?Could it be that Concubine Zhong discovered that Miss Lin was different?For example, after discussing the appointment of the Governor of Guangdong and Hai, Miss Lin went to visit Prime Minister Wen's house. Did she really only attend the boudoir banquet or did she meet someone else, such as Prime Minister Wen?

For example, Shi Ding himself is a knight who led troops to fight on the battlefield. This kind of person's intuition, sensitivity, and ability to grasp and analyze information are very comparable to others.When others only saw the two girls of the Lin family sweeping the face of Changkang Palace, causing the Ninth Concubine to be grounded to pray for blessings; Shi Ding was keenly aware that after this battle, the safety of the Lin family girls depended on The Ninth Prince's Mansion and Changkang Palace.

So what is Lin's motive for doing this?Have you found yourself in danger?What kind of thing can cause a little girl to die.

Pushing it down layer by layer, Shi Ding can naturally conclude that Miss Lin's extraordinary ability is definitely not only reflected in the peony banquet and the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet.How should I put it, this kind of ability, if you describe it as fighting, it is like calculating that the enemy has to cut off your rear for you.

An outsider might not have seen this kind of ability, but an expert like Shi Ding would know that Miss Lin is definitely a capable person among capable people.
