[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

When Jia Min brought people to arrive, the old lady had already been persuaded by Princess Nan'an, and she already had the idea of ​​agreeing in her heart, but she was not satisfied with the conditions proposed by Princess Nan'an, and she was negotiating terms with Princess Nan'an at this time.

Jia Min always knew that the old lady did not have deep feelings for her granddaughters, and Baoyu was the only one in her heart, but she never thought that the old lady would agree to let Tanchun recognize the king of Nan'an as a righteous daughter to replace the mansion of the king of Nan'an. The girl married and kissed far away.

Does she know what marriage means?

The king of Nan'an County was defeated this time and was forced to negotiate peace with the enemy country. Judging from His Majesty's intentions, it seems that he did not intend to suffer such a dull loss. He must find a way to get back in the future.

In this case, will Tanchun marry and get married?

Do you dislike Tanchun for living too long?

Jia Min couldn't control the old lady's thoughts anymore, and directly sent Concubine Nan'an away with both soft and hard methods, and at the same time said that she was engaged to Tanchun, and the wedding date was this year, so other people should stop beating Miss Jia's family idea.

Although it was talking about Tanchun's marriage, everyone knew that Jia Min was warning Nan'an County Palace.

There is no need to worry about Nan'an County's palace for the time being, but Jia Min has to face the old lady's anger: "Why did you reject Nan'an Concubine? Now that Jia's family has already fallen, Tanchun's marriage is difficult, and being named a princess and marrying her is already her last wish." A good way out, you are blocking people's future."

Jia Min expressed disappointment: "This may be an excellent marriage for the Jia family, but is it also for Tanchun? The daughter knows that her mother is worried about Baoyu, but Baoyu has won the exam by herself, and she is even going to take the exam. , why do you still have to worry about sacrificing Tanchun for Baoyu and Jia's family to earn shelter?"

"But have you ever thought about it, this matter is just Nan'an Taifei and others' self-assessment, but the emperor's intention is who caused the disaster and who will resist? Are you planning to help the Nan'an County Palace to defy the emperor's order?"

"Mother, the Jia family is no longer the Rongguo Mansion of the past. If you insist on going your own way, not only will it not bring any benefits to the Jia family and Baoyu, but it may even make the emperor disgusted. The emperor may disdain what to do to the Jia family, but those who want to Don't those who please the emperor take action against the Jia family?"

"Do you really hope that Jia's family will end up in the same situation as Zhen's family?"

Jia Min talked so much, but Jia Mu only paid attention to one thing: "The emperor wants to punish the four kings with different surnames?"

Jia Min had no choice but to nod: "None of the four kings and eight princes can escape. Mother, please be quiet, and don't associate with Princess Nan'an and others. When something happened to Jia's family, they all avoided it. , never thought about the past friendship, even if you sacrifice Tanchun, will they keep their promise? You are afraid that you will bring disaster to Baoyu!"

After all, the old lady cared about Baoyu, and she finally calmed down after hearing this.

Jamin breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she is a married woman. If the old lady insists on her own way, she can't change Tanchun's fate by force.

But in the same way, as long as the old lady changed her mind, Tanchun would naturally not have to make a kiss.

After all, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are gone, and Aunt Zhao is just a servant, so she has no right to interfere in Tanchun's marriage.As the only elder of Tanchun, the old lady naturally has the right to arrange a marriage for her.

And if the old lady does not agree to send Tanchun to marry, no one can force Tanchun to marry unless the emperor orders a marriage.

Jia Min sat with the old lady for a while, then immediately went to find Tanchun.

Tan Chun was sitting in the gazebo in the garden with blank eyes, his eyes were out of focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jia Min sighed, she knew all the girls from her natal family were good, and the most outstanding of them was Tanchun, a concubine from Erfang, who was sober, intelligent and keen.

Obviously, Tanchun guessed his own ending after knowing the purpose of Concubine Nan'an's visit.

Jia Min felt a little distressed: "Tanchun has recovered, don't worry anymore. I told the old lady that she will no longer agree to let you take the place of the girl from Nan'an County Prince's Mansion."

Tanchun rolled his eyes and looked back at Jia Min.

Jia Min nodded at her earnestly: "The old lady will be moved, just because of Baoyu. She guessed that as long as you replace the girl from Nan'an County's palace to marry, Nan'an County's palace will take care of Jia's family more. I can also take care of Baoyu more."

Tanchun's eyes are gloomy. She has lived with the old lady for more than ten years, and she knows her thoughts better than anyone else.

Jia Min smiled and patted her head: "But don't worry, Nan'an County Palace won't last long."

Tanchun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized what Jia Min meant——

Nan'an County Prince's Mansion will not be around for long, so it is impossible for them to provide shelter for Jia's family and Baoyu.And since Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is useless to the Jia family, it is impossible for the old lady to agree to send her granddaughter to marry and die!

Tanchun's eyes lit up with a swipe: "Auntie, is what you said true?"

Jia Min smiled and nodded: "So you don't have to worry. And I have another piece of good news to tell you, your marriage has been settled. I have found four or five suitable candidates according to your requirements, and all of them are good candidates. She is the only seedling in the family, when her sisters get married in the future, apart from serving your parents-in-law, your life will be easy."

Tanchun's eyes were focused: "Auntie, can you tell me who are there? I am worried that the Nan'an County Palace will make a comeback if it doesn't give up, so... I hope to get married as soon as possible."

Staying in the capital, even if she meets someone who is not good for a while, she still has room to breathe, but if she marries far away, she can only be pinched and rounded by others, and it is useless to ask God to tell the world.

Jia Min smiled: "Don't look like you are about to die heroically, you know me, the marriages I picked for you little girls, not to mention anything else, at least the character of the other party is still trustworthy. Even if you get married with If your husband’s relationship is not good, it’s impossible for the other party to treat you badly, at most it’s just that the relationship between husband and wife is more serious.”

Tanchun lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that Tanchun was in a better mood, Jia Min told Tanchun about the candidates he had found.

Tanchun's choice of marriage is naturally better than that of Baoqin, and the highest official position even reaches the third rank——

Because Tanchun is the best among the few girls in Jia's family, both in terms of looks and temperament, as well as the ability to be a housekeeper. Such a girl is actually very popular in the marriage market in addition to her status.

But after Tanchun learned that this third-rank official was also like the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, had married a wife, and had a son and daughter from his original wife, he did not hesitate to veto this excellent person in the eyes of others. Candidates, turned to look at other people.

In the end, she chose a military commander whose parents died and was alone, but fought from the bottom to the fifth-rank school lieutenant step by step by herself.

Jia Min was a little strange: "I probably knew that you wouldn't choose that third-rank official, but why did you choose a military general in the end?"

Even though the Jia family started out as military generals, they have completely lost their skills in this area since the generation of Jia She, and the generation of Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu have never touched swords and guns. This girl also learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and other content since she was a child, and she looks like a talented daughter from the family of civil servants.

If it weren't for the fact that too few people met Tanchun's requirements, Jia Min might even have dismissed this person's name from the very beginning.

Tanchun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just think that generals might be more responsible."

Although I said before that I can make up my own mind, but Tanchun has lived by Mrs. Wang since she was a child, and Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan are holding her back. She has given herself too many ideas. Now that she has a choice, she naturally wants to try What does it feel like to lean on.

Jia Min laughed: "Then you made a good choice. This little general may not be as gentle and affectionate as a civil servant, but he is indeed a very responsible person. Moreover, this person is extremely protective. If you marry him, he will definitely treat you very well." Good. Just one thing, this little general has a bit of self-esteem, you must not let him think that you look down on him."

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a blushing face: "How can I look down on him..."

Seeing this, Jia Min couldn't help smiling: "In that case, I'll ask someone to send him a letter asking him to bring a matchmaker to propose marriage?"

Tanchun nodded embarrassedly.

Concubine Nan'an was run off by Jia Min, but she still didn't give up.

She also understood that the most likely person in the entire Jia family to agree to this matter was Jia Mu, so she visited the door again and again after that, with affection and reason, hoping to get Jia Mu to agree to their request.

But Mother Jia changed her previous attitude, not only became lukewarm towards Concubine Nan'an, but also never mentioned the matter of Nan'an County Prince's mansion accepting Tan Chun as a foster daughter to marry their own child.Concubine Nan'an didn't come back to her senses at first, but she finally understood after a few times, and immediately yelled at the old lady angrily.

The old lady also went to the border with Rong Guogong back then, and also entered the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, what kind of scene has she not seen?The old concubine's scolding not only failed to make her angry, but on the contrary made the old concubine bark like a rabid dog with her calmness and humiliation.

The old concubine quickly realized this, and immediately turned and left angrily.

The old concubine suffocated with the old lady, so she always wanted to find her place in other ways.

Especially when I heard that someone would come to propose marriage to the third girl of the Jia family soon, and after the Jia family agreed, the old dowager's desire to come back with revenge was particularly strong.

Jia's family is just a shabby household now, food and clothing are a problem, and the juniors in the family need to come forward to make a living.

Such a family, if the Prince of Nan'an County wanted to crush them to death, wouldn't it be like crushing an ant?

Although Lin Ruhai is a little difficult to deal with, isn't the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion also backed by three real county kings, namely the King of Beijing, the King of Dongping and the King of Xining?

Lin Ruhai is only first rank, but the county king is super rank.

So not long after, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion began to send people to interfere with the business of the Jia family's juniors——

Spreading rumors, finding people to touch porcelain, government audits and other means were all used.

Because of the interference from the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, Jia's business plummeted, and the profit share of Lin Kou and others also plummeted.

Lin Kou was trapped at home by her children during this time——

Although she still doesn't like her son as much as others, but since it was her own decision to let the child be born, she naturally has to take the responsibility of taking care of the child.

It's okay for Zhen Fu to go home, he basically takes care of the children, but when Zhen Fu is on duty, Lin Kou can only take care of her.

It's funny to say that Zhen Fu once thought about going to work with her child on her back.

When Lin Kou knew his plan at the time, she was really angry and laughed at the same time. She was moved by his keeping the promise, but also couldn't laugh or cry because he came up with the idea.

After Lin Kou assured again and again that she was not against taking care of Xiaodouer, Zhen Fu finally felt relieved to go to work.

But children, especially children who are a few months old and are developing habits, really need to consume a lot of energy from their parents. At night, they can't sleep because of the children who suddenly wake up and cry, and have dark circles under their eyes the next day. , can only look for gaps to catch up on sleep is a very normal thing.

Therefore, Lin Kou has not paid attention to several shops for a long time.

But Daiyu and others didn't come to look for her?

Lin Kou realized something was wrong, and hurriedly took the child to Lin's house.

When Daiyu and the others saw Lin Kou coming, they also realized that they couldn't hide it, so they thought that Concubine Nan'an intended to recognize Tanchun as a righteous daughter, and wanted her to marry instead of her own girl. After being rejected, she became angry and sent someone to find them for business. All the troubles have been said.

Lin Kou frowned, "Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing?"

Daiyu smiled embarrassingly: "It's not that my sister is busy taking care of Xiaodou'er these days and has no time at all, so we..."

Lin Kou looked at several people helplessly: "So, have you found other people?"

Daiyu clasped her fingers: "No, it's all about business, so it's not good to distract the elders."

Lin Kou looked at Daiyu, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help poking her forehead with his finger: "You, you, isn't it natural for children to complain to their parents when something happens?"

Daiyu covered her lips and laughed: "My sister is confused, I'm not a child."

She is going to get married and is already an adult.

Lin Kou looked at it and shook his head, then found Jia Min directly under Daiyu's astonished gaze, and told Jia Min about Concubine Nan'an's search for trouble: "Actually, I suggest that my wife tell the old lady about it. Since Wang Bagong shared the same hatred back then, they must have known each other's secrets. Jia Amnesty and the others didn't shake it out when the accident happened, so they probably didn't know about it, and the whole Jia family probably only knew about these things. madam."

"No matter why she didn't reveal the matter, unless there is a major rebellion, it is impossible for the Jia family to fall into a worse situation now."

Jia Min was taken aback: "How can you be sure that the old lady must know some secrets?"

"The old lady is not a person who does things without rules," Lin Kou reminded, "Since she dared to play tricks on Princess Nan'an, she must have something to rely on."

Concubine Nan'an came to her door for many days in a row, and accepted her gift, but she didn't give a single word of understanding...

The old lady is not afraid of offending Concubine Nan'an at all.

Jia Min immediately reacted: "I'll go to Jia's house right away, don't worry too much, this matter should be resolved soon."

After Jia Min found the old lady, he told the old lady about the troubles the children's business encountered recently.

The old lady was very angry: "My Jia family has fallen into such a situation, and I haven't forgotten the promise back then. I have been hiding what they did back then. She came to plot against the girls of my Jia family, and I didn't trouble them It’s already very good, and they dare to trouble us?”

After hesitating, the old lady took out some papers from the interlayer of her vanity box, and handed them to Jia Min, "You ask Ru Hai to hand this over to the emperor, and the emperor will know what it is."

Jia Min didn't dare to delay, so she took her things and went back to Lin's house.

But before Lin Ruhai handed over the things to the emperor, the people in the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion were stunned——

Because just when they made the business of Lin Kou's and others' shops miserable, Zhen Fu took the lead and started spreading "rumors" about the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

Then there was the school lieutenant who had just been engaged to Tanchun. After learning about this, he immediately gathered a group of brothers and his subordinates to stand in front of the shop with a displeased expression.

The Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to offend this evil god, let alone the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, so they reported the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. It's messed up, it's the time when he likes Baochai the most, how can anyone bully his wife?So he was sent directly to the prison, and all the cases that had been suppressed by the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County were uncovered.

This time, the officials of the DPRK and China inevitably inquired about each other, and they knew the reason of the matter.

So under the impeachment of Lin Ruhai's former subordinates and colleagues - a group of censors, Nan'an County Palace became the target of everyone.

At this time, Yingchun's husband also stepped in: he himself revealed all the arrogant words and deeds of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, the size of the mansion, the decorations in the mansion, and so on.

Lin Ruhai seized the opportunity and immediately dealt a fatal blow to Nan'an County Palace——

He handed over what the old lady gave him to the emperor.

What are those things?

It was a treasure map made by the four kings and eight princes when they were still fighting the world, and there was...

The jade seal of the former dynasty.

After the founding emperor conquered the country, he never found the jade seal of the previous dynasty. He thought it was stolen and taken out of the palace by the palace servants of the previous dynasty. Who would have thought that the jade seal was actually found by the four princes and eight princes, and chose to hide it. up?

What is the intention of a courtier stealing the jade seal?

Just this point is enough for the emperor to copy all four kings and eight princes.

Other evidence?No need, as long as the map is true and there is indeed a jade seal from the previous dynasty, it is enough!

The emperor directly ordered that all four county palaces be surrounded.

On the contrary, the eight dukes' mansions, which had been dealt with long ago, escaped the catastrophe because their homes had been ransacked long ago.

Wait until Yuxi is found...

Well, the four county palaces in the southeast, northwest, and north can be gone!

A house raid lasted from the middle of the year to the end of the year. All the people involved in this case, no matter how high and powerful they were before, could only end up in the end of "a vast expanse of whiteness and cleanliness".

And the four kings and eight princes who were so missed by the old lady have completely become history.

But for the Jia family, the ransacking of the four county palaces was not the most noteworthy thing. The most noteworthy thing was that Baoyu passed the Juren examination, Jialan passed the scholar examination, and Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun's marriage. And Tanchun's marriage.

——Yes, Xiangyun finally married Baoyu.

One is that Baoyu has been reformed, and it is not as bad as it was when the Rongguo Mansion was still there; the second is that historians saw that the Jia family was about to rise again, so they did not dare to stop Xiangyun from marrying Baoyu; the third and most important is that However, Xiangyun couldn't let go of his feelings for Baoyu, so even if he knew that Baoyu was not as innocent as he thought, he was willing to forget the past and marry Baoyu.

The two weddings were held years ago, and the old lady cheerfully presided over the wedding for the younger generation.

These happy events seem to have delayed the life of the old lady, allowing her to live a few months in good health after returning from the Baoyu Examination.

But just after the new year, the old lady can't do it.

Before she died, the old lady did not forget to entrust Jia Min to take care of Gu Baoyu in the future. After Jia Min agreed, the old lady died suddenly without persisting for a while.

Baoyu fainted from crying, and was a little stupefied after waking up.

Fortunately, Xiangyun was always by his side, spending the most difficult time with him, and then recovered.

Because Jia Lian is still there, Baoyu doesn't have to keep his filial piety for three years.

But Baoyu was brought up by the old lady almost from an early age, and he has a deep affection for her, so he still decided to take the initiative to keep mourning for the old lady for three years.

After Jia Min, who also needs to keep filial piety for three years, learned of this, her perception of Baoyu changed a lot.

But since they want to observe filial piety, the two families will naturally close their doors to thank guests, and it is not easy to continue their contacts.

It was Daiyu's marriage that had to be postponed for another year.

But fortunately, Jiang Lin didn't care.

Lin Kou doesn't need to be filial, but it's really not easy to go to Lin's house again in the next year, but staying at home all day is also very boring, so she put the place where she visited in General Zhen Guo's mansion, and after a long time of contact, On the contrary, the relationship with General Zhen Guo's Mansion is getting closer.

Because of the good relationship with the two sister-in-laws, she also heard a lot of gossip from them.

For example, Mrs. Lin's second aunt, accompanied by her husband, finally started to improve and showed signs of recovery, while her second uncle simply resigned from the official position just in case, and took his wife to the beautiful countryside to live incognito. , and just recently, her second uncle returned home with his wife who had regained his sanity, and their newborn child.

The second sister-in-law Lin also mentioned her ex-fiancé in a sighing tone, only saying that he is still alone recently, and it seems that he really does not plan to get married, but he adopted an abandoned baby who was abandoned on the side of the road. In the past, I was usually alone.

Lin Kou didn't expect to hear the ending of the two after so many years, and it was a happy ending, so she was in a good mood.

She lived a leisurely and relaxed life, but she looked a bit retired.

But not long after, news came out from the palace, saying that the Supreme Emperor was ill and hadn't passed the New Year's Eve after all, and passed away on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

And once the Supreme Emperor died, the emperor took power completely, and no one could control him anymore.

So, the emperor waited for the overlord to pass his filial piety, and immediately took out a stack of evidence, sharpened his knives at a group of officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and finally killed many people and confiscated many houses, although their reputation was terrible. , but the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury were thus filled.

And Daiyu finally got married in her year.
