[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

It is not a secret that Zhen Fu was separated by his elder brother and did not take away any money from the Zhen family. After all, it was for this reason that he made the matter of "entering Beijing to seek refuge in the Rongguo Mansion" not so strange.

Before, Zhen Fu was almost plotted by the Rongguo Mansion for the marriage, and when he went to ask other members of the Zhen family for help, he was kicked out directly, so he had to ask Lin Ruhai for help, and thus got the suggestion to enter the palace to ask the emperor for help, and thus established a relationship with Prince Zhongshun Lin Kou also heard about the good relationship.

Coupled with Zhen Fu's occasional dislike and hatred for living in the Zhen family, Lin Kou can fully imagine how much he had suffered in the Zhen family.

The relationship between the two parties is like this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they will never communicate with each other.

Lin Kou really couldn't imagine the reason why the Zhen family showed up at her door. Wasn't she afraid of being kicked out by them?

Zhen Fu thought back for a moment, and his expression became extremely cold: "I have frequently appeared on important occasions in various schools during this period, and I can no longer hide my identity as a blood droplet. The emperor probably has other arrangements for me. Although the Zhen family has fallen, but With the old concubine in the palace and the concubine of Beijing County supporting her face, it is not difficult to get some news from the palace."

Lin Kou was stunned for a moment, and understood what he meant: "You mean, the Zhen family wants to reconnect with you?"

"More than that," Zhen Fu sneered, "Yuemo still hopes that I will go to Lord Zhongshun, or even the emperor, to intercede for the Zhen family. After all, they have also taken care of the 'Prince Yizhong's daughter' for so many years."

Even though the Taishang Emperor's anger towards Prince Yizhong was relieved a little bit, even if the emperor didn't mind raising Prince Yizhong's daughter, he couldn't wait to raise his daughter for Prince Yizhong just after what happened back then, and in order to make Prince Yizhong's daughter live a better life. Even if the emperor is willing to let go of the Zhen family and Jia family who caused a series of accidents, the emperor would not agree.

The Jia family still has homes to copy, and males can still be exiled.

Not only has the Zhen family been ransacked, but the men have also been beheaded and exiled. The few remaining are all treasures of the Zhen family, and there is no room for mistakes.

Lin Kou grabbed Zhen Fu's hand: "If you don't want to see him, go back to the carriage and I'll send them away."

Zhen Fu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No way, I have already lost my feelings for them."

Without feelings, naturally you won't get hurt, and you won't feel embarrassed.

Zhen Fu took Lin Kou's hand and walked directly to the door, and called the concierge: "You go in first, I will take care of it here."

The concierge paused, and explained: "These two brothers and sisters who are said to be the master, are not sure, so..."

Zhen Fu waved his empty hand: "It's nothing, I don't blame you."

The porter then turned and entered the gate.

Zhen Fu originally wanted Lin Kou to go in, but Lin Kou said, "You have been helping me with my affairs all this time, but you didn't let me help you when you were in trouble. you?"

Zhen Fu was taken aback, so he didn't insist.

He looked at the two brothers and sisters: "When I came to the door before, the two of them swore that they had separated from me, and that my people and affairs had nothing to do with the Zhen family. I still thought that I would treat myself as an orphan without relatives. , you actually came here? Then should I call you Mr. Zhen and Miss Zhen, or should I call you Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen?"

The complexions of a man and a woman across the street instantly softened.

Zhen Fu also added fuel to the fire: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Zhen is not in the prison at this time, how can he still have the opportunity to appear in front of my house? It is impossible to escape from prison, right?"

Zhen Gui was panicked and angry: "What are you doing in Huqin? I have never committed a crime, so how could I be locked up in a prison?"

Zhen Fu paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He originally thought that Zhen Fu would appear at his door, and it was an order from the old concubine or the princess of Beijing County. After all, Zhen Fu is the oldest male in the Zhen family, and it is not unusual for them to want to keep him. .

But looking at Zhen Gui's performance, it seems that this is not the case?

Zhen Fu immediately became interested: "The Zhen family is so bold that they dared to hide the daughter of Prince Yizhong. For so many years, they not only failed to report but also concealed the identity of the other party. Isn't it a crime? This is a serious crime of treason!"

"The masters of the Zhen family are not here now. As the mainstay of the Zhen family, as an insider of this matter, you don't want to confess and be lenient when the Zhen family is raided. You are still stubborn and trying to hide this matter until the court arrested you. Isn’t it a crime to tell the truth after being tortured and tortured?”

Speaking of this, Zhen Fu fell into memory, "It suddenly occurred to me that you didn't seem to be in Zhen's house at the time, but returned to Jinling?" He smiled, "This is the truth that you were not imprisoned. Right? Because other people don't know that you have returned to the capital?"

Lin Kou added: "As ordinary people in Dayang, each of us has the obligation to report criminal behavior around us. Since Mr. Zhen has already come to our door, we should report to the government as soon as possible so that these two people can be arrested. Right? Otherwise, the emperor thinks we are associates of the Zhen family, and we will be in trouble then!"

Zhen Gui was frightened to death, and turned his head to vent his anger at Miss Zhen: "I said at the time that I couldn't come to Zhen Fu, but you insisted on coming. Now it's all right, I'm going to be arrested, are you happy?"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Kou and the two, and said shyly, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Everyone's surname is Zhen, we won't bother you, and you don't want to report me to the government, okay?"

Before the two could answer, Zhen Gui grabbed his younger sister's hand and wanted to run away.

Miss Zhen shook off his hand: "Brother, don't be frightened by them, they are just frightening you!"

Zhen Fu lowered his face: "Do you think that everyone is like you, doing nothing all day long and only scaring people? I advise you to get out, if not, I will let you know immediately whether I can scare people or not! "

Zhen Gui didn't dare to say anything, so he dragged Miss Zhen and ran away.

After they left, Zhen Fu silently took Lin Kou's hand and entered the gate of his house.

Back at the house, Lin Kou suddenly asked: "Then what's wrong with Miss Zhen? According to her age, why should she be married? Why are you still hanging out with the Zhen family?"

Zhen Fu was taken aback, and said with a smile: "She has a bad personality. After she got married, she used the power of the Zhen family to offend almost everyone in her husband's family. If something happened to the Zhen family, wouldn't she just be dismissed and sent home? She has a very good relationship with Zhen Gui and her mother, and when something happened and went back to her mother's house, Zhen Gui took her in regardless of past suspicions."

Such a good relationship between them made Zhen Fu more redundant in Zhen's family.

Lin Kou sighed and hugged him distressedly.

Zhen Fu was stunned for a moment, hooked her lips, and hugged Lin Kou back with her backhand.

The two hugged for a while before Lin Kou let go. Although Zhen Fu was a little bit reluctant, but embarrassed, he could only let go after Lin Kou let go.

Lin Kou said abruptly, "What did you say earlier that Miss Zhen scares people all day long?"

This was a piece of news that no one would care about at all, but when Lin Kou heard this sentence, her heart skipped a beat, making her have to pay attention to this sentence.

Zhen Fu was unprepared, and subconsciously replied: "I was studying when I was a child, and Zhong Xia always appeared by my side suddenly, I..."

Zhen Fu was stunned, and turned to look at Lin Kou in a panic.

Lin Kou's face was not very good-looking: "What is she doing by your side? She suddenly made a sound to scare you? Is it because of her that you said you couldn't go to the examination room or read books?"

When people are suddenly frightened, they will have a stress reaction. Some people will suddenly have a blank mind, panic and shortness of breath. In severe cases, their hands and feet will even tremble, and it takes a long time to recover.

But no matter how serious it is, it is easy to recover from a shock.

Unless you have heart disease.

However, if people are constantly frightened in a specific situation, in order to protect themselves, the human body may avoid, escape, or be unwilling to be in the specific environment.

In order to achieve this goal, the human brain is likely to make the body respond to being frightened when it first enters the environment.

If her guess is true, Zhen Fu's life in the Zhen family may be more difficult than she imagined.

Zhen Fu was still hesitant to tell Lin Kou, but seeing that she had already guessed it, she shrugged her shoulders pretending to be relaxed: "Don't worry, I've been used to it for so many years."

Lin Kou's expression became serious: "I originally thought you had a physical problem, and you have already found another smooth path, so I never thought of persuading you to study for the imperial examination, but if your problem is not born with it, but If I was hurt like this, I have to take care of it."

Previously, he thought that Zhen Fu's problems were innate, but thinking that he might have gotten used to it for so many years, and he had never expressed his regret for not being able to take the imperial examination or his envy for other scholars, so Lin Kou didn't think about it.

After all, in Lin Kou's opinion at the time, being an official through the imperial examination was not necessarily important to Zhen Fu.

And it's not the only way out.

But if Zhen Fu is being tricked, no matter whether he still has expectations of becoming an official in the imperial examination, she feels that it is necessary to cure him of this problem, and at the same time let that girl Zhen learn a lesson.

It's not that she was beaten, but she can still greet the murderer, hello me, hello everyone.

Lin Kou sneered: "Don't you want to call back?"

Zhen Fu's eyes flickered: "Actually, I have already taken my revenge back."

"Huh?" Lin Kou looked at Zhen Fu.

Zhen Fu coughed twice in embarrassment, and looked at her worriedly: "You don't think it's bad for me to attack my sister, do you? Or think it's a very disrespectful thing for me to attack a woman...

Lin Kou raised her eyebrows: "What the hell are you talking about? She cut off your future. As long as you don't hurt her life, you should do whatever you want."

What is Zhen Fu like who was not prevented from taking the exam by that girl Zhen?

An eight-year-old boy, ten-year-old scholar, with excellent reading talent, he is a well-known child prodigy in Jinling, and a genius who is sure to be admitted to Jinshi in the eyes of everyone.

In order to win over this genius, Zhen Fu, who was under ten years old, directly engaged.

Lin Kou didn't know who this fiancée was, but the girl who was able to marry the powerful Zhen family back then must have an excellent family background and herself, not much worse than Zhen Fu.

If there is no accident, Zhen Fu will definitely be able to pass the examination of Juren, Jinshi, and then become an official.

Not only that, he can also have a beautiful wife and family, and a good career and family.

But all of this was ruined by a little girl.

The reason why she harmed others was simply because of Zhen Gui's status in the Zhen family, and she didn't want Zhen Fu to overwhelm Zhen Gui; or it was because Miss Zhen naturally disliked the stepmother's child and didn't want him to have a better life.

Vicious to the extreme.

Seeing that she really didn't mind, Zhen Fu sighed: "I retaliated with an eye and did something to her to make her suspicious of the maidservant around her. She was almost sent to the temple as a madman."

He originally didn't want to do anything to his blood relatives, but the other party was too much. Not only did he not have the slightest repentance after he harmed someone, but he laughed at and bullied Zhen Fu because he lost his only support. Instigated Zhen Fu's servants to betray and humiliate him.

Zhen Fu is not a clay figurine at all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a blood drop.

So not long after, he planned to make everyone around her betray her, and made the illusion that everyone wanted her life, so that she could no longer live a normal life.

He had always felt happy after his revenge was successful, but now that he said it, he was worried about Lin Kou's opinion.

In case, Lin Kou thinks that he is too ruthless, so he is afraid of him...

"Good job!" Lin Kou applauded with a smile. "Confucius even said, 'Repay a grievance with virtue, how can you repay a virtue? Repay a virtue with a virtue, and repay a grudge with a straight line.' What you did was just to pay back to her scheming back then."

Zhen Fu was completely relieved.

He smiled and said, "You know, I've already avenged myself, so you don't have to worry about the Zhen family anymore. Whether they live a good life or a bad life has nothing to do with us."

Lin Kou nodded: "But your problem still needs to be solved."

Zhen Fu was stunned: "My question?"

Lin Kou took it for granted: "It's not your problem, is it my problem? Zhen Fu, tell me seriously, do you still want to take the imperial examination?"

Zhen Fu's lips turned up, trying to make an expression of indifference.

But when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't say a word against his will.

Of course he wanted to.

Even though so much has passed, he has already gotten used to this kind of life, and he has no hope of becoming an official in the imperial examination.

but……

He can still recall the joy and enjoyment of reading with the spring breeze and summer rain, Qiu Chan Dongxue, and the praise and warmth he got for reading when he was young, as well as the romantic and high-spirited youth at that time.

When he dreamed back at midnight, he couldn't help but miss the carefree childhood.

What can be done?

He looked at Lin Kou: "When I grew up, I searched for countless famous doctors myself, and made countless attempts. I even signed up for the provincial examination, but it was useless. Sometimes I stayed in the examination room for a long time, and my eyes would even turn black. , fainted immediately."

Eyes darkened and fainted?

Why is it getting worse?

Lin Kou thought about it, and felt that the problem should be on Zhen Fu himself.

It is estimated that after trying so many times, he has already concluded that he cannot take the imperial examination, so even if he continues to take the provincial examination, he himself has a resistance to the imperial examination, and it is no longer just the influence of Miss Zhen.

This is difficult.

Lin Kou thought of her own abilities.

But no matter how good the ability is, it has its own limitations——

Lin Kou's "wish and dreams come true" ability can even regenerate people with severed limbs, but it can't solve other people's psychological problems.

Because a person’s psychological problems often have an inducement, and as long as this inducement exists, even if a person’s mental health is temporarily restored, when he recalls the inducement, the psychological problem will still change back to the way it was before.

If Zhen Fu's problem is innate and caused by physical illness, she can try it with supernatural powers.

Purely psychological problems, her powers can't be helped.

But it is not impossible.

In modern times, there is a "desensitization therapy" for treating psychological problems. It is not only easy to use and easy to operate, but also has a certain effect.

That is, the cooperation of Zhen Fu is needed.

After all, the most important thing about desensitization therapy is to let the patient repeatedly contact with the triggers of psychological problems in a small area and at high frequency, and to make the patients troubled by the psychological problems through relaxation training and desensitization therapy.

For Zhen Fu, this should be quite difficult.

He is not necessarily willing to continue to fall into...

"I want to try it!" Zhen Fu looked at Lin Kou firmly, "I think the so-called desensitization therapy you mentioned sounds reasonable and should work."

Lin Kou paused: "However, it may take a long time..."

Zhen Fu smiled wryly: "As long as it works, it doesn't matter if it takes longer." After a pause, "Also, even if I don't take the imperial examination, alleviating this disease will be good for me to do other things."

Lin Kou was puzzled: "You just have a psychological shadow on the examination room, how could it affect..."

She froze for a moment, then remembered the reason, "Is it because of the book?"

Zhen Fu nodded and shook his head: "It's not just that. I just don't like reading books related to the imperial examination. I'm fine with other miscellaneous books. But I had a mission before, and the mission target was an examiner in a certain examination room. Originally, I should pretend to be Other identities lurk beside him, but because I spend most of my time in the examination room, I..."

Lin Kou was stunned: "You didn't enter the examination room as an examinee, what symptoms would you have?"

Zhen Fu sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, the fact seems to be true."

What's more, it's not that he doesn't want to take the imperial examination.

Therefore, he is eager to change the current situation.

Lin Kou decided to help him: "Then when everything is over, I'll tell you what to do right away?"

Zhen Fu nodded: "The verdict on the Zhen family and the Jia family should come down soon. When this matter is over, the emperor's appointment on me should also come down. Although I don't know what it is, it shouldn't be as busy as it is now. , and then I can have more time to solve my own problems.”

A few days after this conversation, Lin Kou learned from Zhen Fu that Zhen Gui was also arrested.

A few days later, the punishment for the Jia family, the Zhen family and others who did not report the knowledge also came down. The first to be affected was Yuan Chun in the palace. .

Followed by the prestigious Rongguo Mansion, which was ransacked within a few days, the grown-up and informed men of the Jia Mansion were beheaded and exiled just like the Zhen family before.

In the Ningrong and Rongfu, only Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Lan, Jia Huan, and Jia Cong were left in the end. Among the men, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Lian were three adults. People are completely incompetent, not to mention full of five poisons, it is always no problem to hang the title of an idiot on their heads.

As for the remaining young ones, Jia Huan and Jia Cong are bastards who have long been abandoned by the environment in the mansion.

Baoyu and Jialan are smart. If they work hard, they may not be able to pass the imperial examination to become officials.

But Jia Lan is too young, and Jia Baoyu...

He doesn't look down on people who study and become officials at all, and he has no interest in official career and economics, and even quite dislikes them.

Lin Kou was very curious, without the protection of the towering tree of the Rongguo Mansion, would it be possible for Jia Baoyu, who is still young, to "reform evil and return to righteousness" and settle down to study to prepare for the future imperial examinations.

The answer is, no.

After being hit by this, he suddenly became muddleheaded, not only more perverse and willful than before, but even more disgusted with reading than before.

It seems that because he saw the ferocity and power of the imperial power, he had the desire to hide from the world.

Because of Jia's mother, Jia Min thought about entrusting Jia Baoyu to the academy opened by Daru. After meeting Jia Baoyu, he simply stopped thinking.

Jia Baoyu is the son of Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang is her enemy. Does Jia Min want to force the son of the enemy to make progress?

She's not that good-tempered.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Jia's house was ransacked, the old lady, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and Li Wan except Mrs. Wang kept their dowry.

The reason for the old lady is that she has the order of Chaopin, while the others have nothing to do with this matter.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who were related, and even the Wang family behind them, were all liquidated by the Supreme Emperor in this matter, and even the dowry was not preserved.

But at this time, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were loving couples, apart from the dowry, Wang Xifeng was not affected by other influences.

Even because Wang Xifeng has become weaker, the relationship between her and Jia Lian has become better.

Mrs. Wang is miserable.

In addition to this matter, she was also accused of murdering Jia Min, the wife of the second rank, conspiring against the Lin family property, lending usury, etc. She even became the only female family member in the entire Rongguo Mansion who was imprisoned.

As for the other three of the four major families, they were also greatly affected by this matter.

The historian's two titles were gone, Wang Ziteng was dismissed, and even Jia Yucun and others who were promoted with Wang Ziteng also lost their official positions.

As for the Xue family, because their status was the lowest among the four and they could only participate in a limited number of things, they were not liquidated.

However, due to the collapse of the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family, the Xue family's business in various places had problems, and the Xue family's money shrank sharply.In the end, it was Xue Baochai who stopped the loss in time, and quickly asked people to transfer all the store business, thus saving the last bit of money.

But Xue Pan, who has reached the age of marriage, can only continue to put the marriage on hold.

Xue Baochai's marriage has also become a serious problem.

In the end, Xue Pan, who loved his younger sister, gave up his marriage, and directly helped Xiang Ling, who was well-bred and well-bred, so that Xue Baochai had more choices in his marriage.

Things happened to the four major families, how can the four kings and eight princes not be implicated?

It's not just the Jia family, the princess of the Beijing County Prince's Mansion is from the Zhen family!

Fortunately, the old concubine was still in the palace, and the Supreme Emperor did not kill all the four kings and eight princes in her face, but for the Zhen family...

Ok……

In short, when Lin Kou heard the news of the Zhen family, there were only a few unsuitable brats left in the Zhen family, and Zhen Fu, an adult male who had been kicked out of the Zhen family.

Among the little kids, Zhen Baoyu and his nephew are as talented as Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan.

Unlike Jia Baoyu, Zhen Baoyu figured it out directly after being hit by this, and entered an excellent academy to study with the support of the princess of Beijing County, preparing to take the imperial examination in the future.

It can be regarded as growing up overnight, and has his own responsibility.

Contrary to what happened to these people, Zhen Fu, who made great contributions, was not implicated by the Jia family and the Zhen family, but instead won the emperor's favor.

Just after these families were dealt with, Zhen Fu was summoned by the emperor.

The emperor even wanted to give Zhen Fu a Jinshi background.
