Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The second prince couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and said: "Because of what happened to Junzi Wei a while ago, it was so easy for my father to take a look at it. If you hadn't told me about this, I'm afraid my father would think that I was deliberately competing with the prince for favor."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I have sent someone to get in touch with Lin Songcheng, but Lin Songcheng doesn't seem to believe it and insists on coming to the capital, but before he arrived, he met with the big shopkeepers of the 72 chambers of commerce under his name and told them to pay attention to it at all times. If there is anything wrong with the movement of the Wan family, the shop will be sold out immediately, and the money will be sent to the Yang family in Yichun through the Longwei Escort, which shows that Lin Songcheng is not a simple role."

The second prince thought for a moment, and said: "Since the fourth brother wants to arrest the prince and blame me for this crime, should I avoid the limelight?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "If you make a move, the fourth prince will definitely notice it. If he is a cautious person and doesn't continue, wouldn't it be a waste of this good opportunity? I think you should tell the emperor about it .”

The second prince was stunned, and said: "If the father doesn't believe it, you can still think that I deliberately framed him."

Chen Ruiwen said: "You are the emperor's son, how can the emperor not understand you? The emperor also understands the prince. At that time, as long as the emperor goes to investigate, I believe that right and wrong will be understood. At that time, if you deal with the prince, it will naturally have nothing to do with you. If the emperor protects the crown prince, he will definitely compensate you. As for the fourth prince, let's just pretend that we don't know about it. If we let him realize that you know his ambitions, he might be the first one to deal with you. He forbears... For many years, I don’t know if I have something against you in my hands, so I must not act rashly.”

The second prince was still a little hesitant. Although the emperor was a father and son to him, he was more of a monarch and minister, so he had something to say.Fathers and sons can speak, but monarchs and ministers cannot.

Chen Ruiwen seemed to understand his thoughts, and said: "If you tell the emperor all this, the emperor will feel that you trust him wholeheartedly like a father, and his heart will definitely be touched. Think about it, which father would not want to?" The sons are honest with him, but they are fighting with him instead?"

The second prince said: "What if the father blames me?" Chen Ruiwen smiled: "The emperor won't blame you, or let's make a bet?"

The second prince hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay. I will go to my father today and tell the whole story."

Chen Ruiwen came out of the palace and went to Lin's winery.He came here often these days, and shopkeeper Lin was used to it, and when he saw him, he said: "The owner's ship will arrive by the end of the year."

Chen Ruiwen said: "I'm not here to ask you this, I want to ask you something else."

Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for advice. If you have anything to say, just ask."

Chen Ruiwen was thoughtful: "Is there anyone in the south of the Yangtze River who taught their daughters to do business?"

Shopkeeper Lin laughed: "It depends on what kind of family it is. If the family has been in business for generations, no matter whether it is a woman or a man, they have learned to calculate the abacus and read the account books since they were young. Otherwise, who will give this huge family business to? I feel sorry for my daughter. Instead of teaching business and financial management, I teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I just hope that my daughter can marry a wealthy family. I am out of business, but no matter whether it is a scholarly family or a rich gentry, teaching my daughter is to be well-informed. As far as our boss is concerned, before our young lady passed away, she was only ten years old, and she knew all about the intricate forces in the Yangzhou business field. If you go out to be a guest, you have never heard the news about which company they are talking about. , don't you want to be laughed at?"

Chen Ruiwen said: "Have you met your young lady?"

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said: "I don't have such a big face, I just heard from a few big shopkeepers that our lady has been studying business with her boss since she was a child, and she is better than men. During the festivals, she is qualified to see her." Only the big shopkeepers of various chambers of commerce, at such a young age, have at least 1 minds, but it's a pity that God is jealous of the talents, so he passed away so early."

Chen Ruiwen nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, you are also from Yangzhou, have you heard of Zhuangjia?"

Shopkeeper Lin's face suddenly changed, and he pulled Chen Ruiwen into the inner room and said, "How did Mr. Chen know about the dealer? Amitabha, don't even mention it."

Chen Ruiwen was surprised: "Has their family committed any taboos?"

Shopkeeper Lin said: "No wonder you haven't heard of it. Who in Yangzhou has never heard of their family? The Zhuang family is also a scholar family. Master Zhuang is an official in Yangzhou. He has always done his duty. His lady and our boss Miss Zhuang grew up together, and they have a very good relationship. I heard that Miss Zhuang is very beautiful. Many people came to ask for marriage before she was too young, but the master of the Zhuang family didn't agree. How could the Zhuang family be willing to be taken back as a concubine by a rich man, but that rich man is not easy to mess with. home."

Chen Ruiwen wondered, "Which family's rich and powerful is it?"

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head: "That's not clear. Some people discussed it before, but unfortunately, it didn't end well. Now no one dares to mention it. Miss Zhuang's family has become an aunt, and I don't know if she has escaped the clutches of the devil."

Chen Ruiwen didn't make a sound, and looked at shopkeeper Lin with a pity on his face. It didn't seem like he was lying, that is to say, it seemed that what he said was true.

Chen Ruiwen returned to the mansion, first greeted Chen Yi, talked for a long time, and then returned to Tao Ranju, Lin Wanru greeted him with a smile on his face, Chen Ruiwen said: "Why are you so happy?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Mother pointed out a marriage to Lu Ni, I think it looks very good, the date is set at the end of the month."

Chen Ruiwen didn't care much about these things, it's fine if he knew about it, Lin Wanru saw that he had changed his clothes, so he turned back the girl and said, "How's the investigation on Yang Tai's affairs?"

Chen Ruiwen looked at her and said, "How do you know that Yang Tai is a tricky person?"

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "When my father was in office in Yangzhou, my aunt and I went to take care of the sick, and we stayed for a while. At that time, a man named Yang Tai came to visit the sick. My father said by chance, He was originally from Yangzhou, but before he was born, his biological mother was selected and sent to the capital to be a nanny for the princes and princesses. He was born in the capital, and later became the nanny brother of the fourth prince. The prince’s support came to Yangzhou to do some business to supplement the family. His father helped him a lot. When I mentioned the fourth prince yesterday, I naturally thought of this person. At that time, I thought that even you had never heard of Yang Tai. What's the reason?"

Chen Ruiwen hugged her in his arms, and sighed: "Thanks to your analysis, I checked Yang Tai today, and there is indeed a problem. The fourth prince probably wants to set the prince up, and then he will sue the emperor before the emperor. Frame this matter to the second prince, kill two birds with one stone, it's really vicious."

Lin Wanru was startled when she heard this, she could see that Chen Ruiwen's voice was gentle and not anxious, she could see that she had a countermeasure, so she was relieved, she thought of one thing, and said: "There is one thing I want you to help me with. Go to Lin's Winery and ask shopkeeper Lin to help deliver the letter. If Master Lin comes to the capital and finds out that I look exactly like his daughter, I don't know what will happen. After much deliberation, I will simply push this matter to Miaoyu Master Lin has met Miaoyu before, if he knew that Miaoyu was in the capital, he would just think that Miaoyu was helping secretly, and he would not think of me."

Chen Ruiwen nodded, listening to shopkeeper Lin, Lin Songcheng loves his daughter very much, if he knew that the two Lin Wanru not only had the same name, but also had the same appearance, and even had the same birth date, he might think it was reincarnation, if Lin Songcheng came to " Competing for a daughter", another disturbance.

Lin Wanru hadn't been idle for a while, now she was held in Chen Ruiwen's arms, the sun was shining outside, she was slouching, she couldn't help yawning, Chen Ruiwen only thought that she was tired recently, and coaxed her to rest.

Lin Wanru said: "Where can I rest, Lu Ni's dowry needs to be prepared, and my mother told me to learn how to handle the Chinese New Year..."

Saying this, Lin Wanru was reluctant to leave the warm embrace, and lay on the kang with her eyes closed. Chen Ruiwen thought it was funny, and tightened her arms even more. At this moment, it was peaceful and beautiful, wishing that time would stop forever and never pass by.

At this moment, the second prince trembled and knelt in front of the emperor, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the emperor kept pacing, frowning, and soon, he walked up to the second prince and helped him up with his own hands.

The second prince couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he raised his head boldly, but found a slight smile in the emperor's eyes, and couldn't help being stunned.

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth: "Xuan'er, why did you tell me this?"

The second prince smiled wryly: "Father, if I don't say anything, is it possible to watch the prince make a big mistake? Mrs. Lin is the daughter of the Yang family, and she is related to Mr. Wei. If the prince really designed the Lin family, no one else will say it." , Mr. Wei will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and my father has spent a lot of hard work to suppress Mr. Wei, how can I watch my father's hard work go to waste?"

This passage is both true and false, but the emperor was very moved. He patted the second prince's shoulder with some emotion: "I gave birth to six sons, so the prince will not talk about it. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, the third child and the fourth child are all trembling when they see me, there is no father-son relationship at all, the fifth child is not afraid of me, but he doesn't know how to talk to me intimately, the sixth child knows how to be mischievous when he is still young, only You, can help me solve my problems..."

The second prince's emotions were also affected, his eyes were wet, and he lowered his head: "Father and son of the Tian family, the emperor and his subjects are discussed first, and then father and son, but no matter what, we are relatives after all, and the blood relationship is unbroken."

The emperor looked at him with satisfaction, and said: "You have done a good job in this matter, and I will not say more. Since you know about this matter, I will leave it to you to handle it. You must let the prince learn a lesson. As for the Bao family, you just have to deal with it with confidence, you are a prince, are you not as honorable as them? Take this opportunity to let them know what is a master and what is a slave. "
