The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Lin Qing used to think that the major events of the Lin family were all Lin Ruhai's handwriting, but now she also faintly sensed Daiyu's role in promoting them, so she didn't doubt Jia Min's words anymore, and said with a tired smile: " Thanks to all of you these years, words of gratitude are too much to show my dignity, in short, I will remember what my natal family did for me, and I will tell my children."

When the princess concubine spoke to such an extent, Jia Min was naturally comforted. Although the East Palace was safe, the Lin family could be safe.But there is a difference between being remembered and being taken for granted.Lin Qing can say this, at least other than himself, there are people who remember the days and nights of Lin Ruhai's father and daughter who were exhausted.So Jia Min also laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What Master and Yu'er are doing is their duty."

Lin Qing glanced at Daiyu, his eyes were full of tenderness and said: "This is not fair, even if Ruhai should do his best for the court, Yu'er should be free and happy at a young age, and should not suffer such hardships .”

Jia Min laughed and said, "I don't feel bitter looking at Yu'er."

Daiyu also added in a timely manner: "Yu'er doesn't feel bitter." This sentence is true. To be reborn, to have both parents, to have a safe younger brother, and to be accompanied by two righteous sisters, Daiyu really feels All the effort is worth it.And Daiyu didn't feel any pain, even though she worked hard, she was happy with it; not to mention not hard work.

After all, Jia Min came with four children this time, so it is not good to leave Jia Min's mother and daughter alone for too long, so Lin Qing went to visit the Imperial Garden with Jia Min's mother and daughter, and The other three children join.

There is such a coincidence in the world that when Lin Qing and his party were wandering in the imperial garden, they ran into Concubine Zhong head-on.

Ever since Little Concubine Zhong was deprived of the right to be the Assistant Manager of the Sixth Palace, she has been free and spends more time visiting the Imperial Garden.However, this empress has always been [-] or [-] years old, so I don't know if this encounter today was really a coincidence or was deliberately arranged.

Anyway, since they met the concubine in the imperial garden, Jia Min and his party would naturally go forward to salute.However, according to the regulations of this court, as long as it is not a formal occasion, meeting someone with high status is just a courtesy, such as bowing to the body, not kneeling.

So Lin Qing and his entourage went forward to bow to Concubine Zhong.

What can Little Concubine Zhong do? Last time in Changkang Palace, she was blackmailed by two girls from the Lin family. If she dares to show her face and put on airs at the Lin family in the Imperial Garden this time, Emperor Taizong will know about it.

So Concubine Zhong said kindly, "It's just that you don't need to be polite when you meet by chance. Why don't I take care of palace affairs now, and Mrs. Shangshu enters the palace and doesn't come to Changkang Palace?"

For a married woman to enter the palace, she only needs to go to the womb of the concubine of the sixth palace to pay her respects. Otherwise, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and all the palaces and halls please settle down, even a whole day is not enough.But last time Concubine Xiao Zhong said that Jia Min should come to Changkang Palace to sit and sit often when she has nothing to do, so it doesn't seem abrupt to say so now.On the contrary, it means to blame Jia Min and the red top and white.

Jia Min laughed and said: "The minister was thinking about the empress, and wanted to go to the empress's palace to pay her respects, but today she brought too many children, and she didn't dare to disturb her for fear of disturbing her cleanliness." Oh, who doesn't Ji Feng meeting?

Little Concubine Zhong then set her gaze on the faces of Yinglian and Lin You.After complimenting the child for being outstanding, he smiled and said, "This is the most admirable thing about Mrs. Shangshu. Not only is the biological child an outstanding child that I have never seen before, but this adopted daughter is also outstanding." After speaking, he glanced to the south.

Originally, this was a compliment, but coupled with Xiao Zhongfei's expression and her gaze towards the south, it made people feel uncomfortable.Standing here today to speak, which one is not a master of machine striker?Little Concubine Zhong glanced to the south, if Daiyu guessed correctly, she was referring to Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai has been an official in Yangzhou for more than two years. Apart from Qionghua, the most famous people in Yangzhou are Shouma. Shouma is also called a goddaughter, isn't she a righteous daughter?But Concubine Xiao Zhong didn't say it clearly, and the Lin family couldn't refute anything, and as long as they showed a little displeasure on their faces, they would be inferior, and they pretended not to understand and continued to exchange greetings, so as not to sweep Su Lan and Yinglian's faces .

So Jia Min laughed and said: "I was afraid that I would be sick and have no time to teach my daughters, which would delay them. Since Mrs. Zhong said they are outstanding, they are really outstanding. As a mother, I am also happy for them." Said After that, he turned around and said to Lin Qing: "I heard that my mother has been preparing for the end of the year palace banquet these days. I think it's very busy, so I won't bother my mother, and my wife will leave."

It was very natural to bring the topic back to the palace banquet. Sure enough, although Concubine Zhong was still smiling, it was not as natural and bright as before.

Daiyu glanced at little Concubine Zhong, then suddenly let out an oops, and made a gesture of holding Xizi's heart.Daiyu is healthy and healthy in this life, it doesn't look like she is in bad health, but she lived in her teens in her previous life, and she has been sick for more than ten years, and her sick appearance, expression, and expression are all in place.

I saw that Daiyu's brows were frowning, and her expression was not too painful, but she was so weak that she couldn't tell, which made people feel pity for me.

Seeing this, Su Lan originally wanted to go forward to ask each other, but suddenly thought of something, so she hurriedly groaned and rubbed her temples.

Then the two sisters slowly raised their heads to look at Concubine Zhong.

Little Concubine Zhong was still smiling, but her smile couldn't help becoming more and more stiff.

Jia Min and Lin Qing naturally asked Daiyu and Su Lan what was wrong, and Chunshan and Qingtan also went to help their girls.But seeing the two sisters looking as usual, they first blessed Jia Min and Lin Qing, and then blessed little Concubine Zhong.Daiyu said: "Yu'er is fine, if you scare the empress, Yu'er will compensate you."

Su Lan continued: "Madam, Yu'er is young, our sisters scared Madam, I apologize to you, and I also apologize to you for Yu'er."

Not only Concubine Zhong understood this scene, but Lin Qing and Jia Min also understood it.What's the meaning?The meaning of threatening Concubine Zhong.

Jia Min just mentioned the palace banquet at the end of the year, what else could these two girls mean by pretending to be sick?Isn't it just telling Concubine Zhong that if she dares to play tricks at the palace banquet, will the girl from the Lin family get sick after attending the palace banquet?

After Little Concubine Zhong was in charge of the Sixth Palace, something went wrong when she presided over the big palace banquet for the first time, and then she was deprived of the right to be in charge of the Sixth Palace.Now that Lin Qing is presiding over the palace banquet, can't Concubine Zhong use her own way to repay her?Are there too few girls in the Zhong family?Isn't it just an opportunity to make trouble?Who wouldn't?

Besides, Concubine Zhong has been operating in the palace for so many years, so she naturally has her own people in the palace, so if something goes wrong at the end of the year banquet, there is no need to worry about finding a way out.

However, the two girls from the Lin family came here just now to tell Concubine Zhong: If she dares to make trouble at the palace banquet, the sisters will get sick after attending the palace banquet.

My little sister participated in the palace banquet last time, but in your Changkang Palace, you knelt and kowtowed, and it was "the emperor must die" and "but you have to deal with it". Why did you get sick after attending the palace banquet this time? matter?

Even if something went wrong on the day of the palace banquet, the original responsibility must have been on the heads of Zhou Guifei and the Crown Princess who presided over the palace banquet.However, when the sisters of the Lin family fell ill, it inevitably aroused other speculations: Did Changkang Palace feel dissatisfied with losing the power of the sixth palace, deliberately retaliated, and planted the imperial concubine and the crown prince?Otherwise, why did the sisters of the Lin family go to Fengzao Palace and East Palace so many times and they were fine, but when something happened to the palace banquet, they fell ill again.

This is how little Concubine Zhong is doing things?If you don’t do things, hello, me, everyone, everyone, if you do things, everyone will be suspected together and lead to a thorough investigation.

The Fengzao Palace and the East Palace have nothing to do, are you afraid of a thorough investigation?Only Changkang Palace is afraid.Besides, even if the Changkang Palace ends well, in the end, the major incidents will be reduced to minor ones and each will be dealt [-] big boards.Is Donggong afraid of being beaten?After beating others is also orthodox; but Changkang Palace suffers another layer of loss after beating.

This kind of account concubine Zhong naturally figured it out clearly, and when she figured it out, she felt that it was better to let it go.

Lin Qing was apprehensive at first, fearing that she might be tricked by someone on the day of the palace banquet if she didn't take precautions well, so she felt relieved a lot.This niece of my natal family, if people say don't worry, then you really don't have to worry.Any kind of trouble can be solved in a few words.

Lin Qingneng was selected as the eldest concubine of the emperor when she was young, and she was naturally outstanding in terms of appearance and quality. Lin Qing also always felt that she was the only one who stood out among women.Now compared with her niece of her natal family, Lin Qing has to admit that she is barely stupid.

But no matter what, this is in the imperial garden, and both sides have to maintain their demeanor.Lin Qing and Jia Min just looked normal, and Concubine Zhong did not lose her composure, and they each exchanged a few words before they left.

When little concubine Zhong returned to the palace, she fended off the palace people, and then she showed a ferocious face, and was restrained by the daughter of the Lin family, and fell twice into the same pit, how could little concubine Zhong not be annoyed?After calming down for a while, Concubine Zhong called her confidants and withdrew all the preparations.As for the daughters of the Zhong family, when they enter the palace to pay their respects, it is enough to tell them not to make trouble on the day of the palace banquet.

It was not this that really shocked Concubine Zhong and felt very troublesome.She has endured even greater losses, but it is not a big deal to let go of this opportunity to trip Lin Qing at the palace banquet.

But that girl of the Lin family never seemed to fall into a passive situation. No matter what plans she had, she seemed to be able to think ahead, and she had a way to sabotage her plans. This was what made Concubine Zhong shudder.

Since the girl from the Lin family recovered from her illness three years ago, she has never won a fight with the Lin family, and Concubine Zhong has no hope of winning now.To have no hope is itself a hopeless thing.

Of course, only the Ninth Prince cared about Concubine Zhong's despair.As for the Lin family, after visiting the Imperial Garden unaffected, they went back to the East Palace and talked to Lin Qing in a good mood, and Lin Qing then sent his confidants to send Jia Min and his party out of the palace.

After this day, Lin Qing felt much more relaxed. Although there were many things to prepare for the palace banquet, Concubine Zhou Gui had experience, and now Concubine Zhou still wanted to use the hand of the Eastern Palace to avenge the third prince's broken leg. Happy to point out, it's not like before saying "the princess can figure it out" and just evade it.

In addition, Lin Qing's own ability is good. Before, she felt tired because she was always on guard against Concubine Zhong and did everything by herself; now that Daiyu and Su Lan have relieved her of her worries, Lin Qing only needs to make overall arrangements, and leave the rest to experienced The palace people in the palace went to do it, and quickly clarified all the clues, and the preparations for the palace banquet became more orderly, busy and not chaotic.

After Jia Min and his party returned home, they talked to Lin Ruhai about what happened in the Royal Garden today. Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "I have never seen anyone who can use the words "smart man and heart" to the extreme than Yu'er and Lan'er. My sister is also a very intelligent person, but she is not as good as her sisters in preventing someone from making trouble at the palace banquet."

Su Lan hurriedly said: "It wasn't my idea. I didn't think of it. I just watched Yu'er's actions and thought it was a good way, so I followed Yu'er to increase my bargaining chip." It's true that not everyone can think of it. In fact, Su Lan can react in such a short time, which is already good enough.

Jia Min looked at the two daughters with a gentle smile, and said, "Yeah, I don't know how the daughters thought of it, it seems that they can find a way out of any situation."

Daiyu said: "Actually, it's not that difficult to think of. It's just a flexible method to encircle Wei and save Zhao." There is a saying in later generations that offense is the best defense.Another is to grasp the timing and the information conveyed to the other party to be accurate enough.

There are many things that are really clear, and many people understand the truth, but before the truth, most people can't think of it.Daiyu's ability to think ahead of others, and once the action is effective, is her skill.

Lin Ruhai was quite busy in the next few days, the Minister of the Household Department, and there were many ministries who asked for money at the end of the year, so the Minister of the Household Department naturally had no time to relax.Even in the inner house of the Lin family, in addition to packing presents to send everywhere, there are also many things to prepare for the holidays.

Speaking of exchanging gifts, it is worth mentioning that the Lin family received three gifts from Songjiang Mansion.

A copy was sent by He Wenshi, the patrol censor.Lin Ruhai holds the false title of Minister of Maritime Trade, and is He Wenshi's immediate superior. This gift was expected, and Daiyu carefully considered the gift in return; one was sent by Liu Zheng, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the Lin family and Liu Xing We made friends, and adopted the daughter of Liu Zheng’s friend Su Hanshan. This gift is also expected. Not only that, among the gifts Liu Zheng sent, there was also a gift for Su Lan; The Xue family sent it.

Since Patriarch Xue received advice from the Lin family and went south to try to participate in the maritime trade business, he became the first batch of merchants to obtain the qualification for maritime trade by dedicating his shipbuilding skills.Of course, since the imperial court is determined to incorporate the maritime trade business into a franchise, the supporting business will also be operated.

After receiving the shipbuilding skills offered by the Xue family, the imperial court also funded the construction of a large dock.The Xue family's profits will naturally be diluted a lot because of this, but the Xue family originally received an errand in the household department, and now they receive another job in the Haimao Yamen. If you lose your backing, you are waiting to be divided up and eroded by others.It's not surprising that the Xue family should go to the Lin family to pay their respects just because of the reporter's favor.

Daiyu just arranged a gift in return, and asked the person who came to give the gift to take it back with her.

This is the first year of the Lin family after entering Beijing, so it is natural to pay attention to it.However, the Daiyu sisters had already presided over a banquet and took care of many matters related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the household department is closed, and everyone in the Lin family is free. Most of the time they go out to socialize and entertain relatives and friends.

Originally, the Lin family had really offended many people over the years.When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I offended the second prince's family all over the place; after I returned to Beijing, I offended many hairpin families and honorable families just because of a matter of repaying the money; During the palace banquet, how many rich and noble daughters of the Lin family have swept the faces of the rich and noble daughters. After all, the Lin family has offended everyone in the past few years.

Such a family should be left out in the cold if they are prosperous.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long, and the Lin family became more and more friends, and they got along well.

In addition to the Ningrong Second Mansion, Prime Minister Wen's family, and Zhang Shilang's family, which are used to have contacts with the Lin family, there are now many civil officials and noble families, such as officials from the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who have contacts with the Lin family; now there are two historians. Zuohou Mansion.

Everything else is fine, either they are related to the Lin family, or they belong to the Qingliu faction, and they are not involved in the matter of Qing's debts, and it is normal to walk around with the Lin family; The Lin family's ability to attract people's hearts was amazed.

Lin Ruhai first engaged in the reform of the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, which involved clearing up the outstanding debts. The historian is a noble family, and he also paid a large amount of money; later, at the peony banquet in Cheng'en Gong's mansion, the daughter of the Lin family directly wiped out Smith, and let Shi The reputation of the clan's daughter has been damaged, even if there is no major enmity, it is still a lot of friction.As a result, as soon as Shi Ding returned to Beijing, he didn't go out with Duke Cheng's mansion, but with the Lin family.I don't know what method the Lin family used to pour ecstasy soup on Shi Sanlang who always understood.

The ecstasy soup was not poured, it was because Shi Ding was awake and Duke Cheng'en's mansion was in a daze, so Shi Ding didn't accompany him.

Just to clarify the matter of the outstanding debts, although it was written by the officials seconded to the Ministry of Households and the Hanlin scholars, all the processes were promoted by Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

But any sensible person also knows that the money owed by the court is actually a hidden danger.That is to say, the current Emperor Taizong is benevolent, and the Hanlin Academy and Yushitai raised this issue, so they asked each family to pay back the money; if they met a stricter monarch, so what if they were punished?But anyone whose ancestors owe money to the treasury has to bear it, and thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.

In addition to the debt owed, the Lin family also saved the life of the old Mrs. Baoling Hou, so they kept their official positions in the Shi family.This is such a great kindness. If the Shi family brothers are not grateful, even if the Lin family doesn't care about it, Wen Cheng and others who have guessed the inside story will have opinions on the Shi family.Therefore, on the scene, the historian must go to the Lin family.As for whether it is sincere?I don't know if Mrs. Baolinghou is really sincere, but Shi Ding is really grateful to the Lin family.

The boudoir dispute is just a trivial matter. Besides, the peony banquet that day was originally the reason why Xiangyun provoked Miss Lin first.

Shi Ding leads troops to fight, and for those who come forward to insult and shout, it is best to kill without leaving a piece of armor to boost morale. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Does the winner care about the opponent's grudge?

Leaving aside his position and only talking about the matter between Xiangyun and Miss Lin, Shi Ding also has to admit that Xiangyun's unreasonable and outrageous provocations were easily eliminated by others, and he was to blame.In fact, Shi Ding looked down on his brother and sister-in-law's behavior.You stepped up to fight and lost, you either admit defeat openly, or you have a little ambition to work hard to earn back your face, and you can only hold grudges secretly.

But ask Shi Ding to say that Xiangyun doesn't have the ability to earn back face from Miss Lin.But Ms. Lin is not narrow-minded, so if you can't compare with her, you can be convinced.

Daiyu didn't know that Shi Ding had such a view on this matter, otherwise she would have to admire Shi Ding for being open-minded.

In short, the two princes of the historian family have been in contact with the Lin family, especially Shi Ding and Lin Ruhai are quite warm as brothers.

While many people in Beijing were surprised by this incident, they were also very moved.Tsk tsk, I used to think that Shi Ding also belonged to the Ninth Prince family, but I didn't expect to be taken down by the Lin family so quickly.I don't know whether the Lin family took it quickly, or Shi Ding secretly surrendered to the prince long ago.

No, since Shi Ding returned to Beijing, he has nothing to do with the East Palace except for contacts with the Lin family.Apart from Miansheng, Prime Minister Wen was the first to visit. As for walking with the Lin family, well, Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the old Fengjun of the Rongguo Mansion, so he can barely get married.Besides, that is the friendship between Shi Ding and Lin Ruhai when they were classmates in Guozijian.

Of course, if you are a smart person, you will find that Shi Ding not only has more contacts with the Lin family, but also gets close to Liu Langzhong from Baoqingtang.Regardless of the fact that Baoqingtang is just a medical clinic, it is backed by Li Guogong's mansion, and now it is a guest of a Shangshu mansion and a marquis' mansion, whether there are any twists and turns here, it depends on your own understanding.

Anyway, the doctor of Baoqingtang cured Mrs. Baolinghou's illness, and one of the imperial doctors who treated Mrs. Baolinghou was stabbed to death by a lunatic for no reason.The matter here, if no one guesses it is false.But Shi Ding didn't care about other people's speculation at all.It doesn't make sense for the victim, who can sit up straight by himself, to have concerns about making friends with someone.

In addition to this, there is one more thing. Cheng Engong's mansion held a banquet a few years ago and posted a post to the historian. The Baolinghou couple went, but they came back after lunch.As for Marquis Zhongjing, he was said to serve his mother at home, but he didn't go at all.Then compare it with Shi Ding's visits to Prime Minister Wen's house, Lin's house, and even Liu Langzhong's house when he has time, which makes people daydream.

Just talking about Shi Ding's friendship with the Lin family, when the Lin family closed the door to discuss, Su Lan also said: "Yu'er, you have never met Zhong Jinghou, why are you sure to ask him to change his position? I heard that When Marquis Zhongjing returned to Beijing, I thought that what you discussed with foster father was to have someone replace him."

The corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth slightly raised, to be honest, even he himself thought so at the beginning, Daiyu often did things unexpectedly and generously, and she could make things happen, this was Daiyu's ability.

Daiyu said: "Whether it's the East Palace, Changkang Palace, or even other princes, there are many people in the same camp. These people seem to have the same position on the surface, but in fact they will not be monolithic. There is a saying in the art of war, no To put it bluntly, isn’t it just to target different people and use different coping methods to divide and win? If anyone had something to do with Changkang Palace in the past, we will push them to the opposite side, leaving no room for others, and will only make people These people unite against Donggong and seek their own way out. This will only strengthen the other side.

Another one, how many people in the court are watching from both sides, if they see Donggong acting so ruthlessly, who will follow?Marquis Zhongjing can be named a Marquis with his military merits, so he is naturally a capable person. Capable people rarely misjudge the situation. Without us doing anything, Marquis Zhongjing knows how to act, which is the best for historians. Naturally, it is very suitable the wooing object.Moreover, Zhongjinghou's choice will not only affect the two historians' mansions, but will also bring many hesitant families to make the right choice. "

Isn't that what it means to suppress a group, divide a group, and win over a group?If you want to win over someone, it must be the best choice to win over capable people.No matter how much power a fool holds in their hands, they can do more than fail.As for those who suppressed them, Zhen Yingjia and Wang Ziteng back then could use them as an example to scare the monkeys. If anyone is stubborn and follows the Changkang Palace all the way to the dark in the future, they don't have to be merciless.

After Daiyu's words, Jia Min and the other children of the Lin family were all in admiration, and even Lin Ruhai felt benefited.People like Daiyu can always bring new inspiration to people.
