The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Daiyu and Yinglian saw that Su Lan was trying to tickle themselves, they looked at each other, pinched left and right, and scratched Su Lan instead.

Su Lan was originally a Wenxiu girl, even a younger sister might not be able to withstand it, not to mention being besieged by two people, within less than a round, Su Lan laughed so hard that she couldn't help but said: "Good sister, please forgive me!" ?”

Both Daiyu and Yinglian said with a smile: "I'm not forgiving. It's not easy to make trouble with you now. If you want to make trouble with your sister in the future, it's so convenient."

The three sisters were having a good time, and Xiangyu came.Knowing that Su Lan was thin-skinned, Xiang Yu waved her hand to screen off the maid, then jumped into the room and said, "Okay, what are you doing to bully my sister-in-law?" He also joined the battle group to scratch Daiyu.

Daiyu hurriedly turned around to block Xiangyu's hand.Xiangyu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is a few years older than Daiyu. Daiyu will soon be no match. Several times, Xiangyu reached into his waist and pinched her gently. Daiyu immediately laughed so hard that Daiyu lost her strength. Begging for mercy: "My good sister, you still live in my yard, why don't you help me, but sister Lan instead?"

Talking and laughing, the girls laughed together and rolled together, then stopped fighting and stopped fighting.

Xiangyu stretched out his hand and scratched Daiyu's nose lightly, and said, "I love Yu'er the most now, but you can't bully our Liu family."

Daiyu was fine, the three girls all turned to look at Su Lan.After playing around, Su Lan's face was already reddish, and she became even more charming. After being called Liu's family in Xiangyu, and being looked at by her sisters together, her face turned red all at once.Said: "It's so hot in the room, I'll go out for a walk." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out quickly.

In the room, Daiyu, Yinglian and Xiangyu looked at each other and smiled again.

Since Miansheng, Daiyu has really lived a leisurely life as a daughter in the boudoir, reading and practicing calligraphy every day, exercising her body, and occasionally playing with her sisters. Although it is not a big deal, it is a good time worth cherishing.

Su Lan's dowry is very rich, in addition to the pair prepared by the Lin family, there is also a copy from the household department sealed up by Su Hanshan.The Su family has only one daughter, and their family background is in decline. This dowry is what Su Lan will rely on for the rest of her life, so the dowry sealed in the household department is even more generous, more than ten miles of red makeup.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai wrote the brochure early in the morning and asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to return Su Lan's dowry. Naturally, the Emperor Taizong quickly agreed.Lin Ruhai himself is the Secretary of the Household Department, and the Household Department's inventory is also very fast. In a few days, the dowry was delivered to the Lin family.

Jia Min gave Su Lan some help and asked her to clean up and check it herself.Although she is the adopted daughter of the Lin family, this dowry was indeed left to her by Su Lan's biological father. It is very meaningful, and the Lin family does not want to interfere.Su Lan was so moved, she kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife solemnly.

Because Su Lan was busy preparing for her marriage, Daiyu and Yinglian were taking care of the general affairs of the Lin family.Su Hanshan left a lot of dowry, except for the land deeds such as houses and farms, which are easy to sort out, other calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, utensils, fabrics and other items are quite wasteful to clean up.Su Lan cleaned up for several days, but found that some of them did not match the dowry list.

Su Lan thought for a while, picked up a pen and marked the missing part on the pretend list, and did not mention it to Lin Ruhai.

At that time, his father sent himself to Panxiang Temple to deal with Zhen Yingjia desperately, but he died in office.Although my father left a way out for himself and sealed the dowry in the household department, at that time the household secretary happened to belong to the power of the second prince, and the second prince was also walking in the household department.

As Su Hanshan's daughter, a large dowry was sealed up under the eyes of the enemy, and Su Lan never thought that she could get all of these things back.Moreover, at that time, the Su family's family was ruined and there was only one woman left to lead the practice. How could those officials of the household department let go of the unowned fat.Some of my own dowries, especially light and small ones, were stolen by others.

Two years later, the adoptive father found out about the private salt case, and the former Minister of the Household Department was dismissed, and the adoptive father returned to Beijing to be promoted to be the Minister of the Household Department.But it has been two years since my dowry was sealed in the household department, so who can tell clearly what happened in the middle.Su Lan even felt that if she was able to return these things now, it might be that those people who were greedy for her own dowry secretly returned them while her adoptive father was busy with bookkeeping reform and clearing up debts while watching her become a foster daughter of the Lin family.

This is not Su Lan's random suspicion, but the dowry brought back this time. Not only are there things that are missing from the list but are not made up, there are also things that are not extra on the list?If it wasn’t a mistake when someone secretly returned it, what else could it be?

As for the large land deeds, some of them belonged to Zou Baba, as if they had been taken out and then stuffed in.

After Lin Ruhai accepted Su Lan as his adoptive daughter, he only needed to check Su Lan's dowry for a large amount, and then he would not check it carefully.Otherwise, under the circumstances at that time, people would have suspected the intention of the Lin family to adopt Su Lan as a foster daughter.After such a delay of several years, the dowry is correct in terms of the amount of dowry, but it is wrong in terms of details.

Of course, if Su Lan had to worry about it now, not only could he investigate, but he could even make a noise directly, and Emperor Taizong would naturally know about it.It is impossible to recover all the lost items, but Su Hanshan left such a girl, and Emperor Taizong will express himself when he is about to get married.

But after Su Lan cried quietly, she put away the pretend list.It is already very good that I can get such a result.Su Lan's nature is pure and noble, even if these things are brought back, Su Lan doesn't want the things that some dirty people hold and enjoy.

Besides, Emperor Taizong didn't know the exact reason. He wanted to get rid of Daiyu, but he had gotten such a result. He had already received too much favor from his adoptive father's family.

Su Lan didn't even cry because of the lost things, but because the things left to her by her biological parents could not be preserved in the end.

Su Lan didn't want to mention this matter, but Daiyu was careful, seeing the reddish corners of Su Lan's eyes, as if she had cried, she knew something was wrong.Thinking about what Su Lan was busy with these days, Daiyu vaguely knew something, but Daiyu didn't ask in public, but took an opportunity to ask in private: "Is there something on Sister Lan's mind?"

Su Lan was taken aback by the sudden question, and said, "It's just these bits and pieces, and it's almost taken care of now."

Daiyu didn't spare her, and said: "There is no one else now, sister may as well tell me, is there something missing in the dowry?"

Su Lan took a deep breath and didn't deny it, because she was worried that Daiyu would tell her parents, Su Lan hurriedly held Daiyu back, told her concerns, and finally said: "Besides, it's been many years, short They are all small pieces, one is hard to find; the other is that even if they are found, they have been used and touched by many people, so I don’t want them anymore.

Our family has not been in peace these years. The dowry has been sealed in the Ministry of Accounts for several years, and the adoptive father has been the secretary of the Ministry of Accounts for several years. It is not said that the dowry is short, and it is not said that the dowry is short. Changkang Palace said this.Wouldn't it be in vain to let people say that our family is crazy?So it's best not to mention this matter with the stepfather and stepmother. "

Daiyu smiled and gave Su Lan a hug. The ancients were subtle, and even when expressing their feelings, they rarely used hugs like this.But now Daiyu really wants to hug Su Lan, maybe because she wants to hug her previous life.

In the previous life, the Lin family's wealth, his own dowry, and his father were also prepared.He even copied a copy for himself and sewed it in the cloak, not to argue with his grandmother about getting things back, but just to let himself know what to do?

What was the result?His family's wealth was wiped out by corruption, and the dowry did not fall to even half of it. The servants of the Rongguo Mansion went around gossiping about saying that the scraps of paper he used belonged to the Jia family.Because he was dependent on others, not only could he not refute, but he could only follow them.Su Lan knew that the dowry was short but could not get it back, and she had a deep understanding of it.

"I wronged my sister." Daiyu said.

Su Lan lived a happy life when she was young, but later her family suffered drastic changes.Later, there was another chance, she became the adoptive daughter of Shang Shufu, her adoptive father and adoptive mother treated her as her own, and lived a smooth life for several years, but no one really expressed their feelings to him in such a warm way .But Su Lan didn't dislike Daiyu's enthusiasm at all, instead she felt very warm and said, "Yu'er, I am not wronged, you should understand me."

Yes, no one understands better than Daiyu.Su Lan's ability to get back most of the dowry is lost and recovered, and Daiyu's ability to protect the safety of her family is lost and recovered. Who can understand better than Daiyu?

Daiyu was very moved that Su Lan could think so much about the family, but she didn't insist on recovering the lost property for Su Lan. Su Lan was willing to put the overall situation first, proving that she regarded herself as a part of the family, so why should she do it again? Forced to care about that vulgar thing?This incident became a secret between the two sisters.

The Lin family was counting Su Lan's dowry for marriage, while waiting for Liu Zheng and his wife to return to Beijing.But before Liu Zheng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, some people wanted to return to Beijing.Dongping Wang Muzhao wrote a letter to become an official, praying for the emperor's approval to retire.

Mu Zhaonian is nearly sixty years old, and he is the nephew of Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Cheng Engong.In fact, Mrs. Mu is not as obsessed with establishing any meritorious service as Mrs. Shi.After all, older people are more likely to see success and decline. For Mrs. Mu, the safety of the family is more important than wealth.

That is to say, Mrs. Mu is a sensible person in Cheng'en's mansion, who has the face of the prince's family. After Cheng'en and his wife were executed for secretly colluding with the nine princes, the concubine of the Zhong family took over the title again.

For Mrs. Mu, the murder of the legitimate son and the attack on the noble by the concubine was more uncomfortable than killing her directly, but after all, it was because she did not discipline the Shi family well and told her to behave mischievously, which brought the Zhong family to such an end.

Mrs. Mu is getting old, and she has not had a good time for a few years. As for the Zhong family, even if there is still a title of Duke Cheng'en, once the crown prince takes over the title in the future, the title of Duke Cheng'en will be taken back by the court and given to him Lin.As the new emperor's family in the future, the Zhong family may still have a few years of good life, but in the most difficult time in the East Palace, they favored the Ninth Prince's family, so don't expect to get much favor. foreseeable.

At this time, Mrs. Mu thought of her natal family.The Dongping Palace was one of the four kings with different surnames who made the most contributions to the world with the Tai | Ancestor, and in the case of the Nine Princes' treason this time, the Dongping Palace was really not deeply involved.Then, Dongping Palace has room to retreat.So Mrs. Mu wrote a letter to Mu Zhao, advising him to retire.

Shanhaiguan is half a month away from Beijing, and Mu Zhao has long known what happened in the capital.In order to ensure the accuracy of the news, Mu Zhao also sent his cronies back to Beijing to inquire about it, and he knew that even Duke Cheng En was killed.

Mu Zhao is Mrs. Mu's nephew, and it is true that he did not have to obey Mrs. Shi before, so the relationship with the Ninth Prince is indeed not deep.As for the previous life, the crown prince was imprisoned early, and Mu Zhao turned to the Ninth Prince, that's another story.At least in this life, Mu Zhao did not make any major political mistakes.

But just because the old Mrs. Cheng Engong was born in the Mu family, the Dongping Palace and the Cheng Engong Mansion are both prosperous and damaged; Cheng Engong asked to be killed and replaced by someone else, and Mu Zhao also knew that even if he stayed in Shanhaiguan, Holding the military power in one hand, the prince will still not trust himself when he ascends the throne in the future.Instead of waiting for the new emperor to be replaced by the reduction of nobles after ascending the throne, it is better to listen to his aunt's advice, return to his hometown, retreat as soon as possible, and leave a way for future generations.

In this way, Mu Zhao entered the old book.

If Emperor Taizong hadn't heard Shui Lan's confession, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with Mu Zhao, but in Shui Lan's dream, Mu Zhao participated in forcing the palace the year he abdicated.Even if Mu Zhao himself didn't mention the matter of suing the old man, after cleaning up the Marquis of Northern Xinjiang, Emperor Taizong would also replace the guards of Shanhaiguan next.

Therefore, Mu Zhao himself was sensible, so Emperor Taizong agreed to play.

Of course, Emperor Taizong did not punish Mu Zhao.Although in Shui Lan's dream, Mu Zhao followed his rebellious son to force him to abstain from the throne, Emperor Taizong couldn't help but feel uncomfortable every time he thought of this, but in this life Mu Zhao has indeed not made any major mistakes. It is impossible to punish the subsequent crimes of the heroes with trumped-up charges.Otherwise, it's not a question of how to write the history books meticulously, but it will make people panic now.

The handover of power in Shanhaiguan was very smooth. After Mu Zhao retired, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan was directly promoted to the chief of the army.

Emperor Taizong had just agreed to change the guard at Shanhaiguan, and before Mu Zhao returned to Beijing with his family, another shocking news came back to the capital: Beijiang Marquis had fled.

Beidi had just been hit by a disaster, and even though civil strife continued, none of the forces was extremely strong.After the imperial court intervened, the situation in Beidi gradually stabilized.

Chen Deyou, Marquis of Northern Xinjiang, was born in a family of hairpin tassels, and his parents had experienced a war. Chen Deyou still has good eyesight in military judgment.

It has been so long since the incident of the Ninth Prince, Chen Deyou knows what it means for the court to besiege him instead of attacking him.Therefore, Chen Deyou stabilized his first wife, and in order not to let his wife suspect that he was going to escape alone, he also handed over all the life deeds of several concubines to his wife, and all the servants around the concubine were also allowed to be replaced by his wife.

Chen Deyou was in charge of a military power, and his prestige in northern Xinjiang was even greater than that of the imperial court. He not only built a luxurious mansion in Xuanyuan, but also had many wives and concubines.Although Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang occupies the title of first spouse, she has long since fallen out of favor.In the face of the Ninth Prince and Concubine before, Bei Jiang Hou maintained superficial respect for Yuan Pei. After the case of Ninth Prince, Bei Jiang Hou abused Yuan Pei for a while.

Later, Chen Deyou suddenly changed his sexuality, had a long talk with his first wife, discussed countermeasures, and decided to fight with his back.In order to gain the trust of the first wife, he also handed over the wealth and lives of several concubines to the first wife.

Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang really thought that when the disaster was approaching, her husband finally found out that it was better for the first couple to help each other, and made serious preparations to become king in Beijiang and fight to the death.Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang is also from a general background, and she knows how to arrange troops.Old husband and wife, even if the husband suddenly changed his sex, Mrs. Hou of Beijiang didn't have the heart to talk about love affairs. At this time, it is natural to train soldiers diligently and build fortifications.

Unexpectedly, Chen Deyou coaxed the marquis of Northern Xinjiang to patrol and train troops every day in order to attract the attention of the court spies, but Chen Deyou himself escaped in disguise with his two young sons from his concubine.

Northern Xinjiang is bordered by Beizhili in the west, Beidi in the north, and is now a vassal state of the imperial court. North Korea in the east is also a vassal of the imperial court. It can be said that although the territory of Northern Xinjiang is quite vast, no matter which side it is, it belongs to the imperial court. If Chen Deyou resisted stubbornly, he would have to wait helplessly for the court's encirclement to shrink, and it would still be a dead end.

So Chen Deyou fled. Although there was nowhere to escape on land in northern Xinjiang, there was still a winding coastline in the east, which could be crossed eastward by boat.

After Mrs. Beijiang Marquis inspected the barracks and returned home, she asked if Beijiang Marquis was there, and asked angrily where he went, did he jump into the sea?

Chen Deyou didn't jump into the sea, but he did escape from the sea.

In ancient times, the only way to spy on the military situation was to observe and speculate. Ye Hongde heard the news from the spies that there was some turmoil in the northern camp.

Until some guards in northern Xinjiang sent people to contact Ye Hongde to explain the situation, Ye Hongde found out after several trials that it was not the other party who was cheating, and then sent troops to chase after him. There was no trace of Chen Deyou. He only found a deep-water port in Vladivostok. When there is a large ship here moored.

Even the marquis of Beijiang fled. The soldiers stationed in Beijiang were originally paid by the imperial court. Who would follow Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang to fight against the court?

Except for a small number of diehards who had deep collusion with the case of the Nine Princes, most of the defenders in Northern Xinjiang actively exposed Chen Deyou's crimes and took the lead in arresting the children of the Chen family in order to cover their crimes and make meritorious service. Not long after, Mrs. Hou of Northern Xinjiang was also arrested and brought back to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai seldom speaks on matters related to the Ministry of War even if he is in court now, but the Lin family will still discuss affairs in the court after closing their doors, not for anything else but to teach their children, and other noble children also have the same realistic teaching.

Speaking of Chen Deyou's escape, Daiyu said: "This Marquis of Beijiang is a ruthless character, he has already planned to fail."

Su Lan sighed: "Yes, in order to win the trust of Mrs. Beijiang, the concubine Aiji is just something that can be thrown away at any time. Even the two sons born by Mrs. Beijiang were not taken away."

Daiyu said: "It's not that he doesn't want to take it with him, most likely he doesn't dare to take it. After all, the son-in-law is from the wife of Beijiang Marquis. If you want to take the son-in-law away, you must first tell the son-in-law the reason and when to leave. In case the son-in-law treats his mother Unable to stop, he told Madam Marquis of Beijiang that Chen Deyou might not be able to leave. As for the two young sons he took away, it was because of his favorite concubine, and the fate of his concubine was in the hands of Madam Marquis of Beijiang Only in this way, even if Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang hasn't seen those two bastards for a day or two, she won't be suspicious and investigate carefully."

Lin Ruhai sighed: "If I knew today, why bother. You are a marquis, and you hold a military power in your hands. If you are not greedy, your wife and children will not be separated today, and you will flee overseas like a bereaved dog." After a short pause, Lin Ruhai suddenly asked : "Yu'er, you have always predicted things like a god, did you expect this?"

Unexpectedly, what is the difference? "This kind of thing is not predictable, even General Ye may not have expected it. It's just that the northern border is high and wide, with high mountains and dense forests, and many places are near the sea. If General Ye can't attack the northern border on a large scale, it will only increase Casualties; Second, it is impossible to set up a blockade line at sea to prevent problems before they happen. So even if it is expected, it can only be so. Whoever is in General Ye's position may not necessarily do better than General Ye."

In fact, whether Chen Deyou can escape depends on whether he was discovered by the people around him before he escaped and sent him back to Beijing.As for the imperial court, technically speaking, there is not much to do.Even if Daiyu can guess that Vladivostok is one of the suspicious places where Chen Deyou fled, so what?The current technology cannot support the imperial court sending people to take people by plane.

Therefore, Chen Deyou stabilized Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang, pretended to be diligent in training soldiers and horses, and wanted to rebel, and deceived Mrs. Marquis of Beijiang and other garrison troops in Beijiang, and the escape route was more than half successful.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and after the family said something else, they went back to their rooms and went to bed.

Unexpectedly, at the next day's court meeting, someone really made trouble for Ye Hongde's misconduct in commanding Hou Beijiang to escape.

Since Daiyu's face-sacred appearance, Lin Ruhai has tried to keep a low profile at the court meeting. Except for the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts, he rarely expressed his position on matters of other ministries.

But this time, Lin Ruhai came out holding a wat board to speak for Ye Hongde.

Just listen to Lin Ruhai's way: "Vladivostok and General Ye are stationed thousands of miles apart. Even if General Ye expects that Chen Deyou is very likely to escape from Vladivostok, he can't fly to Vladivostok to take people. There are ten rules in the art of war, and now the imperial court is strong. Compared with northern Xinjiang, it is more than ten times? General Ye stationed at Iron Net Mountain Pass and Beidi encircled northern Xinjiang. There is nothing wrong with it. He does not send troops easily, and he is also responsible to General Ye's soldiers and northern Xinjiang officers and soldiers.

The soldiers brought by General Ye are the soldiers of the imperial court, many soldiers in northern Xinjiang are also soldiers of the imperial court, and the people of northern Xinjiang are the people of the emperor. Is it just because Chen Deyou is very likely to escape from the sea, General Ye is going to lead troops deep into northern Xinjiang Thousands of miles away, to the point where many soldiers and common people were killed? "

Who else can say that Ye Hongde is wrong?It is correct in the art of war, and it is even more correct to be concerned about the lives of soldiers and common people.That's how it went.

After Chen Deyou escaped, even if there were a handful of Chen family confidants in northern Xinjiang to resist stubbornly, it would be difficult. Ye Hongde led [-] soldiers over Ping An Mountain to take over the military power in northern Xinjiang.

And just after the winter month, Liu Zheng and his wife also entered Beijing with a dowry gift.
