The Peace of the Red Chamber

Returning to my hometown with honor, returning to my hometown with honor, this is probably Jia Yuanchun.

Today, going to Long En was actually agreed to visit relatives. When Jia Yuanchun left, he was still the eldest lady of the Jia family, but now he is a dignified and virtuous concubine when he comes back. Even his own parents would kneel down and call him noble concubine.

On that day, the matter was settled, and it was only said that the visiting relatives could only be carried out by people from Chongyu Bieyuan, so the gentlemen of Jia's mansion discussed the matter of building a garden.From the east to the northwest, it measures three and a half miles, which is enough to build a decent garden.

Lin Anle occasionally brought up this matter with Li Xi, and Li Xi looked at him eating cakes next to him with his chin covered, stroked his beard and asked, "Do you know why the sage is so kind?"

Lin Anle is still young, so he is indeed smart, but he is only a little smart. The worst thing he has ever seen is probably just spanking someone's ass.He thinks that in this world, it is normal for husbands to love to take care of their wives and concubines, and it is also right for parents to love their children. What people hate the most is probably only those things in the house. If you poke me secretly, I will say calmly Just a few words, Mrs. Wang's methods are already very hateful in his opinion, and he just can't get used to Jia Baoyu and hates it.Murder and bloodshed are too far away from him, but in reality?

He is the closed disciple of Li Xi, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and the son of Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection in Yangzhou. Bu Shangshu worked in the Military Aircraft Department.That's the place next to the emperor's ear.How many people will be blocked in that place, how many people will be blocked, and how many people will want to kill the Lin family.Lin Anle is still young, but there are some things that Li Xi must let him know about his situation.The status of the Lin family, the position of the Jia family, and...the will of the Holy Majesty.He may not understand, but he cannot not know.

It was also the intention of Lin Ruhai to send Lin Anle to Beijing in advance and entrust him to Li Xi's name.This child has only a mind, no scheming, and does one set of small bad things, but he never imagined how bad and cruel people can be, and there is no way to wait for him to grow up to understand all of this in his own situation. Only by sending him to this place, seeing something with his own eyes and hearing something, will he know what he will face and what he must do.

Li Xi knew that Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a provincial relative was an opportunity.

"Grace is grace, what else is there for? The imperial concubine Wu Guifei and Zhou Guifei are the emperor's favorite concubines. The emperor likes them and misses them homesickly. He specially allows them to go home to see their parents. What is the need for this?" Lin Anle ate the pastry in two mouthfuls, chewed it hard and swallowed it twice before answering the teacher's words, and almost choked after saying a few words.

"Then why do you still want to ask Chongyu Bieyuan?" Li Xi shun Lin Anle's back and feed him a glass of water.

"Put on airs, a concubine must have a bit of pomp when she comes out of the palace, but she has the face of Imamami." Lin Anle finally swallowed her choking, and looked around again, obviously wanting to find something to eat.Hearing the teacher ask this question, I looked at the teacher in surprise, thinking that what I knew was what the teacher asked, isn't this obvious.

"Then do you know that Yizhong is a thousand years old?" Li Xi continued to stroke his beard, took a sip of the wine in hand, and watched Lin Anle touch a plate of melon seeds and gnaw on them.

"I know, teacher, you told me that Yizhong Lao Chitose is Imamami's elder brother. You mentioned it at that time, but you didn't say anything later." Lin Anle was still struggling with the melon seeds in his hand, Unable to get out whole melon seeds, I threw away the melon seeds in my hand, pushed the plate aside, ate it with my chin propped up, and concentrated on talking to the teacher.

"That's it." Li Xi fell back on the chair and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. "Your teacher, I was also born in a family with a relatively large family business. I have seen a lot of things until now. I will tell you a story today, which can be regarded as a lecture."

As soon as Lin Anle heard the story, she immediately sat up straight, her eyes gleaming.

"When I was young, my neighbor was a businessman. The family property was very large, and the rich could buy a city. I also forgot what the family name is. Let's say the family name is Huang for now." Li Xi poured himself another glass of wine , Continue to drink slowly one mouthful at a time.

Lin Anle is not stupid. At this time, businessmen can be said to be the work of the lowest class of people. No matter how rich they are, they cannot live next to the aristocratic family. The Huang family is actually not the Huang family.

"Master Huang has a wife and a concubine, and he has several sons and daughters, but he has no sons. Neither of his two sons can live to be ten years old, so he can only choose one of his sons to inherit the family business. It stands to reason This should select talented and virtuous people to inherit the family business, but this Mr. Huang only cares about the second son born to his favorite concubine surnamed Liu. Announced this matter with the family." Li Xi paused here, and glanced at Lin Anle, Lin Anle was engrossed in listening.

"This second son, let's call him Huang Zhong. He is a person who can only talk but can't do anything. Mr. Huang loves him very much, but someone in the family is not convinced. It is Mr. Huang's fourth son. Handing over the second brother's family property to the hands of the second brother, he might not know how it would be ruined, but he is the most qualified to inherit his father. So he secretly gathered his younger brother and confidant servants, hoping to one day beat the second brother and obtain his father's inheritance. Approved. So this family was divided into factions, those who supported the second young master, those who supported the fourth young master, and those who said nothing were neutral.

If you want to say that these four young masters are indeed good material for a housekeeper, they are brave and resourceful, treat others with courtesy, and are good at home and abroad.Master Huang saw that this son was not bad. At this time, something bad happened to the second young master Huang Zhong. No matter how much Master Huang liked him, he was slowly disappointed in him, and he began to value his fourth son gradually.

It can be said that Huang Zhong grew up being valued by his father since he was a child, and he always felt that there would be no accidents in this family in the future, but his fourth brother's intelligence threatened him, so he decided to secretly marry the fourth brother and his father. Kill the younger brother with whom he has always had a good relationship.Unexpectedly, the Fourth Young Master and the Younger Young Master escaped this disaster, and even tried to get this matter to Master Huang, who was so angry that he drove the Second Young Master out of the house.

Master Huang was already in very poor health at this time, and after this incident, it seemed that time was running out.The second young master simply did not do anything, and went back to the house with his servants. Unexpectedly, there were a few traitors among his own people, and he sent a letter to the fourth young master in advance.The four young masters made preparations and naturally wiped out the second young master and his subordinates, formally took over the power of the family from the father, and won a complete victory. After Li Xi finished telling the story, she took a sip of wine. Lin Anle looked at the teacher thoughtfully, but Li Xi just drank and stopped talking.

"What about now?" Lin Anle asked after a while.

"Now, the seats of the Fourth Young Master are very stable, and the few people who defected from the Second Young Master are naturally not very pleasing to the eye." Li Xi squinted his eyes, looked at the wine in the glass, and said casually.

"Among those few people, there must be a family member whose surname is Bei. They live in the west of the city. The garden they built at home has collapsed. This is probably the beginning." Lin Anle's voice was a little soft.

"I don't know about that. What I'm telling is a story. There are a thousand stories in a thousand mouths. Who knows who is telling the truth." Li Xi raised her head and finished her wine again. He licked his mouth and touched the little apprentice's head.

"You pretend to be smart but you are soft-hearted. It sounds like this. You can think of the worst of people. But living in this place where people cannibalize you, what should you do if you don't tell you these things. You don’t have to understand these things now, but remember them.”
