Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

It was only then that Baoyu realized that the low-key behavior Lin Ruhai wrote in his letter was because he had received the news that Prince Rong was about to ascend the throne.

Thinking about it, they are both the emperor of Rongning and Ningfu. Oh, no, it should be said that they are the emperor now, and they are all the emperor's confidantes and old ministers.If he kept his own law and order, the new emperor might just turn a blind eye and let them go because of their decline.

If you continue to act recklessly, sorry, the current treasury is empty, and it is necessary to copy several companies to enrich the treasury.

In fact, such embarrassment also existed on Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was in the second rank of the official residence, and served as the patrolling censor.

This is the emperor's confidant.

Now that the emperor has become the emperor, his status is very embarrassing.

If you can retreat bravely, maybe you can be an idler.

If he was still sitting in the position of Xunyan Yushi, what awaited him would definitely be the ending written in the book.

Baoyu frowned.Should he remind Lin Ruhai?

It's just that he is only ten years old this year, Lin Ruhai is an important minister of the court, would he listen to a child like him?

Regardless, let's describe the situation in the capital. How Lin Ruhai decides is up to him.

Jinling Xuejia

The Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling, and the ancestor is Ziweisheren.

The Xue family has millions of assets and has a very wide network of people in Jinling.Especially Xue Baochai's father, Xue Zhen, has developed the family's industry to the peak. It is precisely because of this that the old man of the Wang family married his direct daughter to him as his wife.

It's a pity that Xue Zhenying died young when there is no holiday.

Although Xue Wang came from a big family, she also deeply understands the principle of obeying the husband after marriage and obeying the son after death.

She regarded her son Xue Pan as the pillar of the family, and she was afraid of melting if she held it in her mouth, and afraid of falling when she held it in her hand.

Excessive pampering and indulgence caused old Xue Panzhi to be great and talented.However, relying on the shadow of his predecessors, he purchased dyes for the palace.Although he has read books, he doesn't know a few words. He spends all day fighting cocks, walking horses, and visiting mountains and scenery.

Although he is an imperial merchant in name, he doesn't know anything about business. He only has an empty name in the household department and receives money and food.

The previous beating to death was due to Xue Wang’s elder brother, Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing camp, who acted on his behalf, and the prefect of Jinling Prefecture was Jia Yucun, who relied on the Jia family’s superior position. Therefore, Xue Pan was fined 3000 taels just because he committed slavery and committed murder. silver.

Xue Wang thought that after this disaster, his son would be able to live in peace for a few days, but he still spent the whole day fighting cocks and horses, doing nothing.

Listening to Xue Wang's sighing all the time, Xue Baochai asked softly: "What's the matter with mother? But you are not feeling well?"

Xue Baochai asked, and poured another cup of tea for her mother.

Xue Wang took a sip of tea and sighed again. "My son, mom is thinking of your brother who didn't live up to expectations."

Looking at Baochai in front of her, Wang Xue really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.

Baochai is only two years younger than Pan'er, but she is intelligent and beautiful, with elegant manners.His father loved her very much when he was alive, and his talent and knowledge were ten times stronger than his brother's.

It's a pity that Baochai is a daughter, and it's already a little too polite to look at the account book every day, so she must not show her face and go out to do business.

But now Pan'er's inaction has aroused complaints from the elders in the clan, if this continues, the position of the patriarch will not be guaranteed.

Talking about her worries to her daughter, Xue Wang stroked Baochai's hair, "My son, I only hate that you are a daughter, otherwise, why did you come to this?"

Mrs. Xue thought of her husband's untimely death, her son's incompetence, and a murder case in the past two years.If it wasn't for someone from her natal family, she would have been arrested long ago.The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. Xue Wang was so sad that she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mum doesn't have to be like this." Xue Baochai comforted softly, "Although Baochai is a daughter, she can also do her best for the family, brother and mother. The emperor's Zen throne, the new emperor ascended the throne, and heard that the emperor advocates poetry and rituals. Talented, talented and beautiful girls are not only hired as concubines, but also the daughters of famous families are also allowed to be named in the palace to accompany the princess and the princess. If the daughter can be selected, she will be a princess to accompany her, and her status can also be improved Quite a lot. If we get a good marriage because of this, we also have a backer, don't we?"

After all, Xue Baochai belonged to her daughter's family. Although she tried her best to speak calmly, her face couldn't help but blush.

Xue Wang wiped away her tears and sighed: "My son, you have been spoiled and spoiled since childhood, how can you bear the pain of serving others?"

Xue Baochai said: "Mom, my aunt's cousin Yuan Chun can enter the palace as a female official, why can't I? Speaking of which, sister Yuan Chun came out of the Duke's mansion, she can bear it, how can I not bear it?"

Seeing Baochai's decision, Wang Xue hugged Baochai and cried, "My son, it's all because of your brother's incompetence."

The two wiped away their tears for a while, and Wang Xue said, "Should I call your brother back to discuss it first?"

Baochai said: "I don't know how long it will take to be selected this time. I can't let my brother leave his business and go with me."

Xue Wang shook his head, "Your brother's temperament is hard to change. I can't control him. Why don't we go to the capital while you are waiting for election in Beijing. On weekdays, you and I live in the inner house, so we can't control him." Live him. There is your uncle and your uncle in the capital, there is always someone who can restrain him."

Wang Xue was always worried that his son would be left alone, when he said this, he suddenly felt his eyes light up, and immediately said, "Go, send someone to call the uncle back, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Although Xue Pan was dumbfounded, he treated his mother and sister very well.

Hearing that my sister was going to Beijing to be elected, I immediately ended the business in Jinling and went to the capital with my confidants.

Jinling is quite far from the capital, and Xue Wang and Xue Baochai are female relatives, so they walked very slowly all the way.

When he was about to arrive in the capital, he heard that Prince Teng had been promoted to control the nine provinces, and he was ordered to inspect the border.

Xue Pan was secretly happy.Uncle is not in the capital, and no one cares about him, so why don't you decide what you want to do?

When staying at the hotel at night, I discussed with my mother: "Mom, although our family has several houses in Beijing, we have not lived in them for more than ten years. It’s better when people clean it up.”

Xue Wang said: "Why bother. When we arrive in the capital, we will either stay at your uncle's house or your aunt's house, and we will take care of it later."

Xue Pan said: "Uncle is busy going to other provinces, and all of us are going, wouldn't it add to the chaos?"

The Xue Wang family was looking for someone to restrain Xue Pan's temper, so why would they want them to live alone?Then he said: "Although your uncle is going to go out, there is still your aunt. These years, the two families have often sent letters to pick us up. If we don't go to your aunt's house in the capital, she will be happy.

I know you are afraid of being restrained by your aunt. If you don't want to, you can live in the house by yourself. I have been separated from your aunt for many years, so I took your sister to live with your aunt. "

Xue Pan didn't persuade his mother, so he had to retreat wearily.After entering Beijing, the family went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
