The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Chapter 23 The Snake's Heart in the Buddha's Mouth

A few times ago, it was said that Lin Chenyang asked Mr. Zhuang to invite Dai Yuxiang two nuns who were released from the palace. Although the people in Jia's mansion knew about it, they only sighed.After all, the Lin family is a second-rank official family, so it is not uncommon to invite one or two maids from the palace. Isn't the young lady of their family also educated by the maids in the palace?

It's just that after Aunt Xue happened to know that the two women beside Daiyu who were dressed differently from the others were actually the maids of the palace, she was also moved, thinking about inviting one or two of them to Baochai so that she could come Show your style.

On this day when the old sisters were talking, Aunt Xue said with emotion to Mrs. Wang: "If you want me to say, this sister Lin is really blessed. Not to mention food and clothing, there are a lot of maids and women around her. You can't count them with two hands. Ouch... This style is even inferior to the girls in the mansion."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, she seemed to be very disdainful and said: "Children are surrounded by these people, and they are not afraid of being coquettish." Then she said quietly, "You are late, and there are some things you don't know. He When the brothers and sisters came over, some people were also cut down, but the old lady knew about it and kept complaining about wronging the brothers and sisters, so she rowed four more people over, which was not enough."

Aunt Xue showed her heart, and said with a smile: "The old matriarch loves her grandchildren some, or how can you say that people are relatives from the next generation. Anyway, no one can surpass Baoyu, that is the old matriarch's heart." It hurts."

Mrs. Wang was really satisfied, but she said: "If you want me to say that your Baochai is the one who is really loving, gentle and generous, this is what a girl should be. Pity my Yuanchun is not around , I only treat her as a daughter."

Aunt Xue laughed quickly and said, "Girl Bao recently learned a new trick. I asked her to make a handkerchief for my sister. When the time comes, I will bring it. My sister will also have a look at her handicraft."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "This precious girl, I really don't know how she looks. I won't talk about her appearance. What's rare is first-class virtuousness." The old lady is afraid that she will be tired if she doesn't pick a thread or touch a needle. However, after learning needlework from Tanchun and the others for a few days, even Zhu'er's family was reprimanded several times."

A few days ago, when Daiyu was not well, Mother Jia was very angry, and even Mrs. Wang was reprimanded.Speaking of it this time, it also meant to complain to my sister.

It's just that Aunt Xue was preoccupied with raising the nanny, but now she smiled and said: "No, I saw a purse embroidered by Sister Lin the day before yesterday, it was so small and exquisite, the more I looked at it, the more I loved it. But she told me that this is the embroidery method in the palace, I think we people can't bear it."

Mrs. Wang snorted, and said with a smile: "I don't care what it is. I have met her two foster nuns. It's rare that they have worked for the Empress's side, and they behave well. It's just Yuan Chun's nurturing mother back then, and she was an old man next to the Empress Dowager. If the old lady didn't have some face in front of the Empress Dowager, those two would definitely be raised in the palace, but they were released because of Yuan Chun."

Aunt Xue knew that there was a reason for this, so she sighed: "That's the kind of dignity that someone like my sister can have. I really want to hire one or two nuns for Bao girl, and I don't want any decent people around my mother, so I will go to the house and let you go." It is also good to teach women workers how to sew."

After twisting and turning, he said what he meant, and waited for Mrs. Wang to answer.Sure enough, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "It's not worth anything, it's just that girls are noble, so it's not good to invite someone casually. I will go back to the old lady some other day and ask her to find one or two decent nanny for Bao girl." It's not difficult for Mammy."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, sister. A new batch of jewelry has arrived in the shop today, all of which are inlaid with red treasures. I can't wear them, so I thought I might as well send them to my sister. No, rewarding people is also good."

The two sisters chattered again, Mrs. Wang inevitably complained about Jia Mu's partiality to family affairs, etc. Aunt Xue just listened from the sidelines, interjecting a few words from time to time.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

When saying hello the next day, Mrs. Wang took Daiyu's hand and said affectionately: "Young lady has become more and more delicate these days, and we can't help but love it. I heard that the young lady has learned a new needlework. When I have free time, let my aunt see and see."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's just a little learning. If the second aunt likes it, how about I stab a purse for you?" Mrs. Wang was so happy that she hugged her in her arms and said with a smile: "My good girl! , it is enough for you to have this kind of heart. Working is the most eye-consuming, and you are weak, so it is not worth the effort."

Jia Mu also smiled on it and said: "Yu'er made me a purse the day before yesterday, and that embroidery work is really excellent. But I also said that people like us don't point to the girls' craftsmanship." Life is boring for female workers, and it’s not worth spending time on it.”

Mrs. Wang sighed: "After all, it is the ancestors who are knowledgeable. How do we individuals want to get this level? It's just that Bao girl is different from their sisters. People are going to enter the palace to stand for election. The daughter-in-law wants her to be a It's good to learn the palace rules, but unfortunately I'm a fool, so I can't teach you a thing or two."

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Baochai with a smile, and wondered, "Miss Bao didn't invite a few female gentlemen? Even if Xiaoxuan doesn't pay attention to family background, the rules in the palace are the most important thing."

Baochai turned pale at once, but stood up and smiled and replied: "If you go back to the old lady, my mother invited me a few mothers from the prince's mansion when I was at home, but they didn't want to leave their homes, so they didn't go with me. Come. I came to your mansion and was busy with resettlement, but I didn't have time to extend the invitation. These days are wasted."

After listening to it with a smile on her face, Mother Jia beckoned Daiyu to sit beside her, took her hand and smiled at Baochai, "Good boy, I have wronged you these days. Seeing that the election is about to happen, I just want to I'm afraid it will be too late to find two nuns for you. It's just that you, sister Lin, have seen each other these days, and you can't choose your temperament. What's more, her two nuns are by the empress's side Those who have been there, if you don't mind, I will discuss with the two nuns and teach you together, okay?"

After saying this, he said Aunt Xue, even Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back.Still smiling, Baochai came up to salute Jiamu, then took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "My dear sister, I'll have to help you."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and smiled and said, "Sister Bao, what is this? I knew it when I learned the rules together."

Jiamu took a naive look at Daiyu, and thought to herself that the nuns who came out of the palace were different. In just a few days, they changed the dull little girl into what she is today.

Daiyu was perfunctory with Baochai, feeling in her heart how her grandmother cared for her.She has also heard a lot of gossip in the mansion these days. Although she is angry, she also knows that it is more meaningless to care about it, but she never thought that Jia Mu would actually slap Xue Baochai in the face in front of many people, and satirize her overtly and secretly. birth.

Although she felt relieved, seeing Baochai's forceful smile in front of her, Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore.One of her nuns, Nanny Chen, saw her, but she enlightened her and said, "Young lady can see what the old matriarch is capable of today? Her old man made the girl of the Xue family lose face with just a few words, and she can't pick out who she is." Recognize a mistake, this is the skill."

Daiyu couldn't bear it and said: "It's just like this, it's too much after all."

Nanny Chen sneered, but still explained: "Young lady, I saw it today, but there are not enough things in this inner house. In this inner house, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. There has never been a calm If the old matriarch's attitude is softer today, the mansion will be tossed about by the second wife!"

"Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind...?"

☆、Chicken outside the episode is in Yangzhou ([-])

It has to be said that Lin Hai's countermeasures are really beautiful, not to mention the suspicious Daqian, even the old fox Mingxiang has a little suspicion of the Zhen family.For a while, the alliance between Da Chitose and Jiangnan became ambiguous.

Knowing that she had been tricked, Zhen Xi hated him so much that she hated Duke Dun and Governor Chen even more.However, he is not a person who just waits for death, he wrote a letter to Yizhong Chitose overnight, swearing that the former crown princess had already committed suicide, but the abolished crown prince hid the letter and did not report it.Da Chitose saw the letter, and as long as he searched a little, he would be able to find clues.

It's a pity that this letter will never be delivered to Da Chitose...

Chen Ji stared at the letter in Lin Hai's hand in shock, feeling incredible: "Master Lin, this, this..." Lin Hai casually put the letter on the table, and said with a slight smile: "After two dynasties, the Lin family is still a little bit depressed. It's the bottom of the box."

Ji Wen didn't lose color like Chen Ji did, but she couldn't help but worry: "Zhen Xi covered the sky with one hand in the south of the Yangtze River, and now that he's being restrained for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it later, and he will be harmed by it."

Lin Hai nodded with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness is right." Seeing that his expression did not change, Ji Wen knew that he must have a way to protect himself, so he hurriedly asked, "Seeing Mr. Lin's appearance, is there a way to deal with it?"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "If you want to talk about strategies, it's not really a plan, but you have to wrong Your Highness." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ji Wen and said, "It is true that Her Royal Highness the former Crown Princess has passed away, and the funeral will happen sooner or later. Once In mourning, Daqiantui will definitely see through the secrets, and it will only be a matter of time before you and I are exposed."

It wasn't your son's idea!This is the roar of Ji Wen and Chen Jixin.

Lin Hai pretended not to know what the two were slandering, but said calmly: "When the time comes, Da Qiantui will become angry and angry, and no one can guess what he will do to us."

Chen Ji was at a loss when he heard that, but Ji Wen understood vaguely, and asked with a gloomy expression: "Master Lin, you want me to send you up to be a target for Brother Elder Emperor?!"

As if Lin Hai couldn't feel his anger, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is joking, how dare I make such a thought? Swords have no eyes, and if you are careless at that time, if there is something wrong with your highness, it will be a big deal. Well." The conversation changed, "It's just that if the medicine is used well, it can accomplish things without hindering the body. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Ji Wen was only angry for a while, and she knew right from wrong. Lin Hai's suggestion was indeed pertinent, but: "Even if I am seriously ill, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for an imperial edict from my father."

This is indeed reasonable, when the Holy Majesty sent the Nine Princes to the south of the Yangtze River, it was just to make use of waste, with the intention that if the power in the south of the Yangtze River could not be stabilized, they would be left to fend for themselves.Even if he died of a real illness in Jiangnan, he might not be ordered to return to Beijing.Thinking of this, Chen Ji glared at Lin Hai dissatisfiedly. His idea is different from gambling with the Ninth Prince!

Lin Hai could only explain: "Your Highness doesn't know something, but the medicine I prepared for His Highness here is the same as that used by the one in Xian'an Palace." After finishing speaking, Weiwei said awkwardly, "A few days ago, Shaoyou sent a letter saying that The one who has been secretly taking medicine since the death of the Crown Princess, I borrowed the help of the empress to get the prescription."

Ji Wen wasn't surprised by Zhuang You's abilities, but she was still worried that what would happen if she found out about this matter today?

Lin Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, with the talent of Xian'an Palace, how could he do those things that left a clue. All his medicines were poured into the rice, and the people in the imperial dining room brought them over. It's even more wonderful What's more, the chief eunuch who was in charge of His Royal Highness's meals had worked in Yikun Palace for a few years." Yikun Palace is the bedroom of Concubine Hui, the concubine of today's righteous and loyal thousand-year-old concubine.

Ji Wen was secretly startled, Lin Hai's plan was not without viciousness.As long as the abolished prince waits until the time when the concubine is in mourning to come before she falls ill, with the current favoritism towards him, it's fine if he doesn't send an imperial doctor, as long as he is sent, he will definitely be able to detect something.

Not to mention the sympathy gained by the waste prince himself, it is also logical to make the current generation suspicious of Da Chitose.And at this time, he fell ill in Yangzhou again, and his condition was almost the same as that of the deposed prince...

Da Chitose really jumped into the river and couldn't wash it off...

It's funny to say that since ancient times, the royal family has been the most severe brother-in-law, and it's also the royal family that taboos this most.However, Lin Hai charged Da Qiantui with the crime of "cruel murder" - if the abolition of the prince was just to pour dirty water on Prince Yizhong, Lin Hai's plan was to put the whole shit bowl on his head and make him sit down completely. Convicted of the crime of mutilating blood relatives!

But it turned out that Lin Hai's strategy was not to allow him to return to the capital and avoid Da Qiantui's counterattack.From the beginning, he wanted to eliminate the threat of Prince Yizhong from the root!

The more Ji Wen thought about it, the colder her heart became. Seeing Lin Hai still smiling calmly in front of him, she couldn't even speak.

I just don't know how much Lin Chen participated in this matter...
