[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

The boy walked up to Jia Min and saluted: "Nephew Zhen Fu, meet Aunt Min!"

Looking at his face, Jia Min fell into the memory, and it took a while to wake up, and helped him up himself: "You are my sister's child, Fu'er, right?"

The boy stood up and nodded gently.

Jia Min was happy and sad at the same time, and it took a while to adjust his mood: "If I remember correctly, you are now ten years old, right? Have you ever studied and taken the imperial examination?"

The Zhen family was different from the Jia family in that they had neither guaranteed titles nor military forces to retreat from. The younger generations who wanted to become officials could only take the imperial examinations.

The young man was originally gentle, but when he heard these words, he showed a bit of embarrassment: "My nephew was studying at a young age, but his talent is extremely poor. Every time he took the exam, he was flustered and short of breath, so he couldn't pass the exam. So he is still just a scholar. .It’s far worse than Uncle Lin’s.”

Jia Min was stunned, and said with a smile: "To be able to pass the examination of scholar at such an age is already an excellent person, enough to surpass most of the scholars in the world."

Zhen Fu became more and more embarrassed: "But my nephew's reputation as a scholar is, yes, he passed the exam when he was ten years old."

Years have passed since now, but he hasn't made any progress.

so long?

Jia Min was a little surprised: it is not an exaggeration to say that a child prodigy can pass the examination of a scholar at the age of ten.Such a child must have a good brain, and it is even less likely that his reading talent will be poor.

Even Lin Ruhai was already fifteen or sixteen years old when he passed the examination of scholar.

——However, he quickly worked hard and got all the honors of Juren, Gongsheng and Jinshi back.

It is impossible for such a child to have made no progress for so many years.

Thinking of what Zhen Fu said before, Jia Min couldn't help frowning: "If you really have the problem of being nervous when you take the exam, how did you get your reputation as a scholar?"

Zhen Fu bowed his head: "Scholars only take three exams, one for one day, and my nephew can barely support it."

But no matter whether it is the exam for Juren or Gongsheng, it takes nine days to take the exam. There are three exams in nine days, and one exam is three days. Not to mention that he has the problem of flustered and short of breath when he goes to the exam room. Can hold on.

The last time Jia Min heard about Zhen Fu was several years ago. At that time, his nephew was still loved and valued by everyone, and he was the future pillar of the Zhen family. When she heard Mrs. Zhen say that she brought a nephew over this time, she thought that he might be a suitable candidate for the little girl.

But if...

Jia Min frowned: Zhen Fu's biological mother was her concubine sister, and she did not marry Zhen Yingjia, who is now in power in the Zhen family, but Zhen Yingjia's good-for-nothing elder brother, and she was just a house filler.Zhen Fu also has an eldest son left by his original spouse, and he will not get much property when the family is divided in the future.

If Zhen Fu is doomed to achieve nothing in the imperial examination, he is not a good man for the girl.

It's not for other reasons, but after getting along with her during this time, she has already understood the preferences of Yatou, that is, a girl who doesn't care about anything and only wants to eat, drink and enjoy life.

She is not necessarily willing or able to do things that ordinary women would do, such as housework and helping her husband.

Bringing these two people together, I'm afraid they will become a bitter couple.

Jia Min quickly dismissed the idea of ​​matching the two.

Zhen Fu didn't know what was going on in Jia Min's mind, and he still looked embarrassed, as if he was ashamed of his own strange problem.

Jia Min returned to her senses and comforted her: "It's not a big problem, as long as it doesn't affect your life." After a pause, she asked, "Have you ever asked a doctor to investigate the cause?"

Zhen Fu's head was almost down to his chest: "I have seen several doctors, but they couldn't find out the cause of the disease. They only said it was a heart disease."

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a voice like a mosquito, "The old lady said, I am naturally timid and careless. Whenever I see a big scene, my legs become weak and my heart flusters. I brought it in my mother's womb, and I can't change it."

Jia Min frowned: "The old lady really said that?"

Zhen Fu nodded, and said in a self-defeating manner: "After all, I am incompetent, so I can't complain..."

Jia Min calmed him down, and finally let Zhen Fu return to the expression he had when they first met.

At this time, Lin Ruhai came back, and after introducing the two to get to know each other, Zhen Fu chose to leave with a wink, leaving the space to Lin Ruhai and his wife.

Jia Min didn't think too much anymore, but looked at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai sighed: "I acted too much before and was discovered. Those people came to warn me. It's just that they are really confident in the place where they hide the ledger, but they didn't do anything to me because of it."

After all, he really had no interest in the ledger at the beginning.

Then the search suddenly started, which was actually very abrupt.

"A lot of people even asked me if I encountered any difficulties. If it's necessary, they can just ask them." Lin Ruhai sneered.

But soon, he sighed dejectedly again.

Now that he was discovered, I'm afraid he can only take back all the people who have been deployed outside, otherwise those people will not watch him continue to investigate.

Anyway, in less than a month, he will leave with his family, so it's better not to make any troubles at this time.

As for the Zhen family...

A dark light flashed in Lin Ruhai's eyes. He investigated in Weiyang himself. In fact, it would be better to let the people of Gusu Lin's family secretly help, which is more secretive and more difficult for those people to guard against.

After all, the Gusu Lin family is rooted in the south of the Yangtze River. Even though they are mostly active in Gusu, Weiyang City is not without property.

This fact was disappointing, and the two quickly turned away and went to bed.

What they didn't know was that there was a figure outside the house who waited until the candles in their house were extinguished, and then quietly left the yard.

The next day, Daiyu told Jia Min what happened yesterday.

Jia Min is very smart, and she immediately figured out the reason behind Mei Ying's strange behavior and Lin Kou's reaction.She smiled and hugged Daiyu: "Why is my Yu'er so smart!"

Daiyu raised her head and looked at Jia Min curiously: "Mother, can't you tell Yu'er your secret?"

Jia Min was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Yu'er is still young, you will know when you grow up."

Daiyu was very upset: "But, you and your father discussed important matters before, and you didn't avoid your daughter. Why do you have to hide this matter from your daughter?"

Of course it was because, behind this conspiracy and calculation, was full of malice towards Daiyu.

As a mother, Jia Min doesn't want Daiyu to be hurt.

But this cannot be said to Daiyu.

Daiyu is too smart, if she speaks too clearly, she will be able to guess the truth behind it very quickly——

Although they strictly guard against death, there are still many words about Daiyu being a daughter, and the Lin family is about to die. Especially sensitive.

Jia Min thought for a while, and said, "Because your maternal ancestor's family is involved this time, I don't want you to be completely disappointed."

Daiyu was stunned: "Grandfather's house?"

Before Jia Min could respond, Daiyu snorted unhappily, "Aunt Mei came here yesterday, did she suspect Wang Momo? Only Wang Momo in my yard is from my grandfather's family."

Jia Min was dumbfounded.

Mother Wang?

Why didn't she think of it!

After Lin Ruhai passed the examination, the Lin family could still get honorable approval, but their essence had transformed into a pure civil servant. In addition, she and the master had been running around all year round in order to seek a son, and Daiyu was even weaker and sicker after birth...

The contacts between the Lin family and the Jia family are actually not as many as outsiders imagined.

It was only then that Jia Min suddenly realized that since she was pregnant with Daiyu, the frequency of her return to Rongguo Mansion has dropped to a minimum, almost only going back on major festivals and mother's birthday.

And Daiyu was someone who had never seen the Rongguo Mansion.

——She and the Rongguo Mansion have become strangers to this point!

And now that they are so unfamiliar, there are very few people in the Lin family and even around her who can contact the Jia family, and are even trusted by her second sister-in-law to plot against the Lin family.

Because he was the one being calculated, Jia Min never doubted the people around Daiyu at all from the beginning.

Of course, there is also the reason why Daiyu is surrounded by all the children of the Lin family except Nanny Wang, and Nanny Wang is also one of Jia Min's confidantes who specially placed Daiyu's side to take care of her.

Nanny Wang is the nanny who nursed Jia Min since she was a child. She is actually half of Jia Min's elder.

but……

Since no one else around Jia Min can be trusted, why must Mother Wang be trusted?

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Min pulled out a piece of useful information from a corner deep in his mind——

This mother Wang is not from the Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia's mother gave birth to Jia Min, some accidents occurred, and she was born prematurely for more than half a month. Although she was still in good health, the nanny she had originally found was unable to feed Jia Min.

Grandma Wang was found from the family of someone who had good relations with the Rongguo Mansion.

The most likely one is the Wang family.

And Jia Min's second sister-in-law is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family.

Even though Mother Jia brought Wang Momo to Rongguo Mansion together with her husband and children, if Wang Momo was really from the Wang family, she must have other relatives and friends in the Wang family.

Even if there is no evidence, Jia Min has already determined that this is the truth.

Jia Min couldn't help but secretly hated that she had put such a hidden danger to Daiyu's side in a moment of negligence!

Daiyu touched Jia Min's brow with her small hand: "Mother, don't worry, just arrest Wang Momo."

Jia Min laughed: "Yu'er is right, just arrest Wang Momo."

Even if Wang Momo hadn't made a big mistake yet, she still sentenced Wang Momo to death in her heart!

Jia Min invited Mei Ying to the room: "The one you said before, the Jia family's placement in the Lin family should be Mother Wang, right?"

Mei Ying glanced at her, but said nothing.

Jia Min took a deep breath: "Since I promised you, I will never go back on it. But how can you guarantee that we will not be counted against such a big hidden danger? There are only those who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days." of!"

Mei Ying smiled and said, "I don't believe you. You nobles have dark hearts. To satisfy your own desires, any innocent person may be sacrificed by you, let alone I am not an innocent person."

She is very self-aware, and she is very clear that she has made an enemy with Jia Min.

Jamin was a little upset.

She was going back to Beijing soon, and she really wanted to get rid of that insider before boarding the boat, but she was worried that she got rid of the wrong person.

Jia Min had already decided to find an excuse to keep Wang Momo in Weiyang, or send her to Jinling.

But every day she didn't get an answer from Mei Ying, she couldn't be sure that the person who contacted Rongguo Mansion was Wang Momo.

If not, isn't the real insider still on board?

She didn't even know who to stare at when she wanted to follow up.

Mei Ying glanced at Jia Min: "You know, I care more about my own safety than yours."

She no longer considers herself a member of the Lin family.

And this internal response is one of Mei Ying's trump cards to ensure her safety in the Lin family and let Jia Min fulfill the agreement.

Seeing that Jia Min was worried, Mei Ying smiled: "Just don't worry, I won't let her do anything again."

Jia Min's face darkened, feeling uneasy.

Mei Ying didn't care. After making sure that Jia Min had nothing else to do, she swaggered out of the main courtyard.

If Jia Min can be deflated, she will naturally be in a good mood.

But this good mood disappeared instantly after seeing a letter and a token that suddenly appeared on his bed.

"Blood droplet?"

The author has something to say:

After hesitating between Jinyiwei and the sticky pole, I finally chose the less famous sticky pole. [Everyone just needs to know that it is an intelligence organization:-D]
