The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

The brothers of the Liu family followed a monk and a monk outside for a day and a night, and they were all so tired that their eyes were black and blue.But the matter was very important, so Daiyu and his daughter first asked them about the situation of following the monk, and then told them to go down and have a good rest.

According to the Liu family brothers, they also judged that a monk and a monk had practiced kung fu, but the kung fu was at a medium level, and their vigilance was very high, and they almost lost track several times.But if it is about fighting alone, the Liu family brothers are sure to beat each other.

Liu Song took a big sip of tea and said: "I was guarding at the end of Ningrong Street, and when I saw those two monks and priests coming out, Shanzi and the others rushed forward to arrest him, those two monks and Taoists threw out a large cloud of white powder, and then Shanzi and the others covered their eyes, so I knew Shanzi and the others were on the right track. But I thought the master ordered me to follow them, so I didn't step forward to help them, so as not to expose my Xingzang." At this point, Liu Song also asked Shanzi How are they?

The couple who got Shanzi went to see a doctor at Baoqingtang. After Liu Langzhong said that there was no serious problem, the two seemed relieved.Obviously, if Shanzi and the others hurt their eyes because of this, the Liu family brothers might blame themselves.

Liu Bo went on to say: "I was guarding the corner of Ningrong Street, and I also saw that pair of monks and Taoists attacking Shanzi on Ningrong Street, and then the pair of monks and Taoists split into two groups. I ran towards Ningrong Street and the end of the street, fortunately Liu Song and I kept our directions, the Taoist priest I was following, and the monk Liu Song was following. On the way, I found that the Taoist priest had some problems."

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, signaling Liu Bai to continue, and Daiyu also paid attention.

Liu Bai said: "The Taoist's lameness is fake. In crowded places, he walks with a limp, and pretends to be unpredictable. Now the whole capital knows their names. There are a lot of people who help him, so I must be at a disadvantage, so in crowded places, I just follow carefully for fear of losing it. But as soon as I get to a secluded place, the Taoist priest will run wildly and run away. No more lameness."

Daiyu hummed in a low voice, didn't interrupt the Liu brothers, but kept these details in her heart.

Liu Song said again: "The monk I followed also had some problems. The monk ran to a secluded place, took off his dirty clothes, wiped his face, and it didn't look so dirty and ugly. Then, a monk went in Went to the brothel." After speaking, he glanced at Daiyu, and then quickly shut up.

Daiyu didn't think there was anything wrong, but Liu Song felt that it was not good to say the word 'brothel' in front of a girl.

Lin Ruhai pretended not to notice, and asked what happened next.

What happened next was even more unimaginable, the limping Taoist followed by Liu Bai stopped limping and entered a shop.After Liu Bai wrote down the name of the shop, he was worried that the lame Taoist escaped through the back door, so he took advantage of people's unpreparedness to climb up to the roof to observe. clothes.

If the limping Taoist hadn't stopped limping suddenly, causing Liu Bai to carefully observe his figure and back, he would have almost lost him.

As for the monks who entered the brothel, they also had a night of rest in the brothel.The monk and Taoist eat and drink enough, and sleep well.However, the Liu family brothers lurk on the roof all night, not daring to close their eyes, for fear of being lost.

Fortunately, both of them were young and strong boys, they could survive the whole night without losing anyone.The next day, the two followed monks and priests separately, but they followed to the same place.It is a Zhuangzi outside the city.

Lin Ruhai simply took a piece of paper, wrote down all the main points, and then asked: "And then?"

Liu Song said: "Since the monks ran away together, they all escaped to the same Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is naturally the meeting place they agreed in advance. After Liu Bai and I meet, we can finally take turns for Xiaomei, which is very relaxing After waiting for half a day, we drove out of the carriage from Zhuangzi. We didn’t know whether there was a monk or not in that carriage, and we didn’t dare to ask for confirmation, nor did we dare to let it go, so Liu Bai and I made a plan. He went to follow the carriage, and I continued to guard outside Zhuangzi."

Liu Bai said quickly, "I followed that carriage into the city, and then the carriage drove into the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

Daiyu and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, and exchanged such a look.

As for Liu Song, he followed another carriage that Zhuangzi drove out, and followed directly to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, so the Liu family brothers ran into each other again and came back together.

After asking about the situation, Lin Ruhai told the brothers of the Liu family to rest, and he didn't have to go to the Yamen with him for these two days.

As for the rest, Lin Ruhai said: "Although we now know that Changkang Palace and the Ninth Prince's Mansion intentionally promoted the sudden fame of Yi Monk and the Ninth Prince's Mansion, we can't do anything about it. After all, no one can go without evidence. The Prince's Mansion is arresting people, besides, there are so many people coming and going in and out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion every day, this monk entered the Prince's Mansion together and then came out, and he couldn't find out where he went."

But Daiyu said: "Father, don't worry, the road to Changkang Palace has gone astray. Such crooked tricks will not accomplish anything, they are just self-defeating. However, next, you can pay attention to the mass graves everywhere." .”

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened, "Yu'er mean?"

Daiyu said: "Once this incident is thoroughly investigated, how is it different from the old incident of the 'stone man with one eye' at the end of the previous dynasty? Once this incident is revealed, it is not an exaggeration for the Ninth Prince to be expelled from the royal family and beheaded. Since that monk is an ordinary liar, and he has exposed his behavior, I am afraid that he will be silenced."

Lin Ruhai immediately came to his senses, and said: "That's right, Changkang Palace has already figured out the deception method of that monk. It is not impossible to let other cronies pretend to be a monk in the future. It is worthless to keep these two people." , On the contrary, there will be endless troubles."

In the self-destructive Changkang Palace, Concubine Zhong's mother and son also talked about the problem of a monk. The Ninth Prince said: "I didn't expect that the Lin family was all so bold, and even Jia Min didn't believe in gods and Buddhas. For the retribution of the underworld, dare to order someone to directly arrest that monk."

Concubine Zhong said: "Who told these two swindlers to go to the Jiujiang magistrate's mansion to cheat seven years ago? And Jia Min recognized it. If it was me, I wouldn't believe them."

The Ninth Prince thought about it, and felt that this was the same reason, so he didn't say it again, but asked: "Mother Concubine, what should I do next?"

Little Concubine Zhong didn't answer, but asked instead: "The two carriages came back from Zhuangzi today, are they really not being followed?"

The Ninth Prince said: "I asked the coachman personally, and he said that no one was following him."

Little Concubine Zhong nodded: "Have you dealt with the pair of monks and priests?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said: "It has been dealt with cleanly."

Little Concubine Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, Daiyu handed her speculation to Situ Zhuo, and then looked at the sky from time to time in the past few days.

I have to say that the pollution in the agricultural society is really small. The sky is so blue that you can see vultures and goshawks from afar.It is always right to look for corpses in mass graves and observe vultures.

In order to avoid alarming others, the Lin family did not send anyone to search the mass graves.

But there was no need for the Lin family to search, and news came from Situ Zhuo soon, saying that there were indeed two people who were thrown in the mass grave, and when the vultures went down to peck, there was another who was not completely dead and wailed for two It was only after the sound that he died, and finally died in the belly of a bird.

Situ Zhuo had his own intelligence network, how did he find the corpses of the monks so quickly, Daiyu didn't ask in detail.In short, after this incident, Yi Monk is still a legend in the world, but he seldom shows up in the capital. First, there was a news from Baoding, and then there was news of this monk’s presence in farther and farther places. .

It seems that Concubine Xiao Zhong's mother and son are still reluctant to give up the reputation left by the two magic sticks of Daoist Miao Miao and Da Shi Miao Miao.Knowing the deception methods of these two people, Changkang Palace can naturally follow suit to maintain the reputation of these two people.It's just that at this stage, Changkang Palace doesn't dare to let such a magic stick show up in the capital for the time being.

A few days later, a letter came from the Rongguo Mansion, and it was Sister Feng who invited the Lin family to offer incense at the Muni Court.The letter said to invite aunts and cousins, so naturally Sister Feng wanted to invite Daiyu and Su Lan to go with her.Of these two cousins, one is Master Dinghui's nephew, the other has Master Dinghui's favor, and they can see Master Dinghui every time they go back.

The Lin family wasn't busy recently, so they went too.Of course, Master Dinghui did not show up.But Sister Feng asked for a good lottery, and she was in a good mood.

The matter of going to the Muni Temple was just a small episode, and then it was Daiyu's birthday. As for the birthday ceremony, it goes without saying that the handkerchiefs from the capital were handed over, and Daiyu also received gifts from the Xue family in Songjiang and the historians of Guangdong and Hai.

There is no need to go into detail about the small birthday banquet, after Daiyu's birthday, the birthdays of other members of the Lin family also came one after another.

Before Su Lan's birthday, not only someone from Songjiang came to present, but at the same time, the Liu family sent someone to ask about Su Lan's marriage.

Su Lan is now a girl of the Shangshu Mansion, and the Liu family handled this matter very cautiously, and did not directly send someone to propose a marriage, lest it would be embarrassing to be rejected.

The mother-in-law from the Liu family was Jia Min who asked in private, and Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about it.

Lin Ruhai said: "Although Lan'er is our girl, whether she is going out or not, I have to ask Lan'er about it, and she should nod herself. Now Liu Xianglian is reading with the little prince, she is quite safe Good boy, not to mention his appearance, I think he is good-looking. However, the Su family used to be a scholarly family, and now Master Liu is a civil servant. I don’t know if Lan’er will dislike their family of generals. birth."

It stands to reason that this era pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, but when the Lin family adopted Su Lan, Su Lan was already in her teens and received a good education since she was a child, so she betrothed her directly. He wouldn't think too much that his adoptive father and adoptive mother were unwilling to marry a girl from the Shangshu Mansion to the son of a fourth-rank official.

Besides, there have been people who have come to ask about Su Lan's marriage before, but because of the death of both Su Lan's biological parents, the people who came to get married were all for the in-laws of the Shangshu Mansion, and there was no such thing as a noble family. The first outstanding child.Either he came from a humble family with some ability, or he was born from a high family and was a bastard or an ordinary child. Jia Min said that Su Lan was really wronged if he really had to get married like this.

Therefore, Jia Min pushed away the ones that were really not like, and asked Su Lan what he meant for those who were a little better. Naturally, Su Lan didn't nod.

This time when the Liu family came to ask, Jia Min still asked Su Lan privately, but Su Lan didn't refuse this time, leaving a sentence: "Lan'er is determined by her adoptive father and adoptive mother."

The girl has a thin skin, and Su Lan didn't directly refuse, but she agreed. Jia Min told Lin Ruhai, and then sent the letter to Baoqingtang.In the past few days, the woman sent by Liu Zheng was waiting for a reply, so she settled down temporarily in Baoqingtang.

Daiyu only found out about this after the fact.Although Daiyu was involved in other major events of the Lin family, there was no need to tell Daiyu about her sister's marriage.

Ask Daiyu to say that this marriage is not bad. Although Liu Xianglian's family background is not very high, but as the son of a fourth-rank official, it is not low.Besides, Liu Xianglian has been studying with the emperor's grandson for several years, so this is also to raise her status.Moreover, although Liu Xianglian in her previous life was impulsive, she was also a person with a good nature and a lot of loyalty.

In this life, Liu Xianglian stayed by Situ Zhuo's side for several years, and she didn't hear of any bad habits. She should have improved compared to her previous life.

There is another one. When Liu Xianglian finally decided to get married in the previous life, the only requirement was to find a stunning woman. Now that I know that Liu Xianglian and Su Lan are old acquaintances, and the parents of both parties already wanted to discuss marriage, I don’t know Liu Xianglian. Does that stunning sentence have something to do with Su Lan?If there is, this is even more a good relationship.

However, marriage negotiation in ancient times paid attention to three media and six certificates, and the procedures were cumbersome, and there was still a period of time before marriage after engagement, so there was no need to worry about it.

The important thing right now is still the matter of Changkang Palace, Daiyu said to Lin Ruhai: "Father, my ex-son accepted the gift from Marquis Zhongjing, and he wrote back to Marquis Zhongjing saying that if a monk appeared in Yuehai, he would be sent to the palace." He was arrested and secretly detained. My father can also write letters to the trustworthy outside uncles to talk about this matter."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "I was also about to say this. I have already written to Master Liu and Uncle Feng to say this. In addition, I also reminded Brother Jing and Brother Da Nei."

Now Feng Jing, Jia Jing's direct subordinate, has come to Quanzhou to be the magistrate, it would be better for Jia Jing to write a letter to remind him; as for Jia Amnesty, although he doesn't care about court affairs, most of Jia Daishan's former minions are in Ping'an Prefecture, so Jia Amnesty can speak for himself.

The deception of the left and right monks has been exposed. In fact, there are many monks and Taoists. As long as no monks appear in these places, it will be fine. If they appear, they will be arrested and detained. These are all witnesses. In the future There is always a time when it is useful.

However, Concubine Zhong also knew that the girls from the Lin family and Xiaoqi from the East Palace were both wise and close to demons, so even if they continued to use the deception of the vast masters and Miao Miao real people to build momentum in the future, they did not dare to send a monk to places within the sphere of influence of the East Palace at the beginning.

In case the girl from the Lin family and Xiaoqi from Donggong saw through this plan, wouldn't she be throwing herself into a trap?

After several months like this, it is the new Qin Tianjian Recruitment Examination.

Last year, the emperor dismissed many officials of the Qin Tianjian in a fit of anger. At that time, he sent the recruitment information to all parts of the country. Now warlocks from various provinces have entered Beijing one after another.

Half a month later, after the warlocks across the country passed some mysterious examination content, the Qin Tianjian recruited a group of new officials based on merit.Just as Daiyu expected before, several of them were said to be the disciples of Master Boundless and Daoist Miaomiao.

Metaphysics is about the succession of masters. Except for the Lin family and Changkang Palace, all the monks know the details. In the eyes of other people in the capital, they are masters who have never failed.The last time these two people showed up in the capital was in Rongguo Mansion, and they said that the grandma of the Rongguo Mansion was pregnant.Isn't the grandma in charge of the Rongguo Mansion showing her pregnancy now?

As for the other provinces, there are great masters and Miaomiao real people who appear from time to time, and even predicted several natural and man-made disasters, all of which are extremely effective.Don't look at a monk who left the capital together, his reputation will be even louder.

As for the so-called prediction of disasters, it is true that the two of them were extremely accurate, and what they predicted were all catastrophes. If the government hadn't prevented them in advance, there would be countless deaths and injuries.Even if precautions were taken, many people still died or were displaced.

Of course, this is not the true ability of one monk and one monk.Shui Lan was born in an aristocratic family, she is the daughter of the Prince of Beijing, the second son of the second prince who married the second prince in her previous life, she is also the concubine of the emperor and grandson, she is also reborn, Shui Lan's news is much better than that of Daiyu.Before the defeat of the Second Prince's Mansion, most of the natural disasters and man-made disasters that could be reported to the mansion in other provinces were basically known.It is also because of this that the monk not only predicted the success, but also saved countless people and accumulated countless merits in the eyes of the world.

Against the background of superstition in the whole society, one can imagine the prestige and reputation of one monk and one monk.

Of course, the high-ranking people in the world are going down to the mortal world to save people and accumulate merits, so they will definitely not enter the Qin Tianjian to serve you royally.However, it is very good for one monk and one student to enter the Qin Tianjian, so those candidates who are called the disciples of Dashi Mangmang and Taoist Kongkong not only passed the exam smoothly, but are also highly regarded in the Qin Tianjian.

Finally, I have my own person again in Qin Tianjian. For Changkang Palace, it can be regarded as the achievement of the phased goal.

Concubine Zhong's mother and son were both in a good mood, and the Ninth Prince said: "Concubine Mother, Songjiang, Guangdong, and Fujian are now training naval forces. If the military power of the Eastern Palace continues to grow, we will have no chance."

Concubine Zhong nodded and asked, "What does the emperor think?"

The Ninth Prince said: "We now have people in Qin Tianjian, and the prestige of Da Shi and Dao Miao is so high. Things will be easy in the future. Ask Shui Lan first. In the past one or two years, Jiangnan, Yuehai, Fujian Whether there are disasters on the earth, if there are, let the vast masters and Miao Miao real people manifest and predict.

Then he said that the reason for the local disaster was that Liu Zheng, Shi Ding, Feng Jing and others were unkind officials, and their reckless use of weapons caused dissatisfaction with heaven.The local people will inevitably be dissatisfied with the magistrates, and if they are dissatisfied, they will cause chaos when disasters strike.Coupled with Qin Tianjian's rhetoric, are you afraid that you won't be able to get rid of the few dogs newly recruited by the East Palace? "

Little Concubine Zhong nodded and said: "The emperor has grown up, and I think so too. Since you think of a good idea, go ahead and do it. The more you have ideas, the concubine is very happy."

Natural disasters have been unavoidable since ancient times, especially along the coast. How many times in a year have there been no typhoons?According to Shui Lan's memory, first, there was a big man named Miao Miao who appeared in Songjiang, and he predicted a storm.

It was only ten days' journey from Songjiang to the capital, and the report of the disaster was urgent, so the news reached Beijing very quickly.

Seeing that the Lin family and Donggong didn't react to this, Chang Kanggong felt relieved thinking that the Lin family finally had no countermeasures this time.

Then came the seventh day of the seventh month, and the head grandmother of Rongguo Mansion gave birth to a daughter.

The Rongguo Mansion has already fallen, relying on the prominence of the Ningguo Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion to barely maintain the dignity of the nobility. Originally, few people would pay attention to the matter of adding a daughter to the Rongguo Mansion.But today is different from the past, Master Boundless and Daoist Miaomiao have asserted that the grandma of the Rongguo Mansion will give birth to a baby girl who has a bad fate, and it will be born on a special day.Tsk tsk, look at how accurate the two current gods are?

People like to watch the excitement, and the fact that Sister Feng gave birth to a daughter has become the most exciting event in the capital.

When it was time to wash three times, the Lin family also went there, and Mother Jia complained about Jia Min once, saying that she shouldn't have offended the two gods at the beginning;

Jia Min knew the truth about Yi Monk and Together, but found that the big fish hadn't been caught, so it was inconvenient to say more, so she said with a smile, mother, don't worry, if there is any retribution, she will definitely come to me and will not blame you, otherwise the fairy will be gone The heart of the living.

Although Sister Feng had asked for a good lottery in the Muni Court, she was a native of the ancients after all. After begging for a daughter and giving birth to a daughter, she felt a lump in her heart. Daiyu also comforted Sister Feng.At the same time, he also took a sympathetic look at the infant Qiaojie.

The girl hadn't opened her eyes yet, and she was sleeping soundly in her swaddling baby.But now the whole capital has watched the excitement of this girl's birth, and I don't know what kind of prejudice will grow up in the future.

After Sister Feng gave birth to a daughter, Situ Zhuo and Liu Xianglian visited the Lin family once.Now that Liu Xianglian and Su Lan were engaged, they exchanged occasional gifts and letters, so they were not afraid of being talked about. Situ Zhuo also took advantage of this to come to Lin's house more frequently.

Situ Zhuo also had a headache about that monk who is now trying to get fame in all provinces and provinces of the country, so he even talked about it with Daiyu.

Daiyu said: "What is the little prince going to do?"

Situ Zhuo looked in the direction of the Beijing Palace, and said: "It's not impossible to make that pair of swindlers fail, and it will become a problem." Naturally, Situ Zhuo knew what the monks would say when they showed up It's because Shui Lan remembers many things from her previous life.

Daiyu laughed, "Young master, can you do it?"

It's really not good, Situ Zhuo is now the image of a young holy father in the eyes of many people in the capital.Not only is he good to the most humble eunuchs and maids, but many people also know about Situ Zhuo's rescue of the village woman Liu.With just such a person, Daiyu didn't believe that Situ Zhuo would go to kill Shuilan's mouth together in order to restrain the monk.

Sure enough, Situ Zhuo shook his head, and said again: "The letter I just got today, the storm and heavy rain in Fujian, that monk said it right again, we can't let their prestige continue to be so high."

Daiyu said sternly: "My lord, just like you can think of taking the bottom of the water, Changkang Palace must also want to take the bottom of the pot, and it is you and me who want to smoke. Only when Changkang Palace takes action against you and me, let's fight back. Only in one blow can the future troubles be eliminated."

Situ Zhuo also knew this truth, and said: "I hope that Changkang Palace will come to me first. After all, I am the grandson of the emperor, and this status is better to contain them. Besides, if someone must be a bait between you and me, it will not be easy to let them go." You are a little girl in danger."

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said: "The little prince is quite graceful."

However, Changkang Palace will not change its strategy just because of Situ Zhuo's demeanor.Daiyu's long-awaited Changkang palace draw has finally come.The first day of August is the birthday of the thirteenth princess, and it is also the big day of the thirteenth princess and Ji, the Lin family also got an invitation.
