Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Jia Huan naturally believed Baoyu's words.

Just thinking about having to be with books for three years, Jia Huan thought again and again, but gave up this attractive encounter.

Individuals know personal things.

He is not made to be an official, just like his father, Jia Zheng.

Don't look at Dad's lofty appearance of a literati all day long, in fact Jia Huan and Baoyu both know that if he is allowed to take the imperial examination step by step, his old man will also lose his name to Sun Shan.

"Huan'er, now that you have made a decision in your heart, don't be shaken by other people's few words. A man will do something and not do it, dare to do it, and never regret it."

Baoyu said these words so firmly that Jia Huan couldn't help but feel excited.

After comforting Jia Huan, Baoyu heaved a sigh of relief, not expecting that he would be a psychological counselor one day.

When they returned home, Mingyan and Li Gui had already bought the medicinal food.

Baoyu sent it to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in person, and asked Qingwen to send a copy to Lin Daiyu.

After taking a hot bath, Baoyu lay comfortably on the bed.

Thinking that officials from all over the country have come to Beijing one after another, I don't know what Lin Ruhai's plan is this time.

He had already explained the major events in the capital clearly in the letter, and mentioned that Wang Ziteng was ordered to patrol the border.Lin Ruhai is extremely intelligent, so he should analyze that his situation is not optimistic.

Thinking of these things, Baoyu slowly fell asleep.

Yangzhou Linfu

Ever since Lin Ruhai handed over the invitation booklet, he was a little worried about gains and losses every day, and his face turned pale within a few days.

Lin Zhong understood that Lin Ruhai felt uncomfortable.

Lin Ruhai has been favored by the emperor for many years, but now he wants to surrender to the new emperor. Even if Lin Zhong is relieved every day, he can't let him relax.

It would be nice if the lady was here.

Lin Zhong secretly sighed.

This day when Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen, Lin Zhong hurriedly brought hot tea.

"Sir, please drink tea."

Lin Ruhai took a sip of the health-preserving tea prepared by Lin Zhong, sighed and said, "I've lost my composure these days."

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Lin Zhong knew that he must have made a decision in his heart, and he was also relieved.

"Master, it's a matter of life and death, who can not change his face? The master has handled his official affairs in an orderly manner these days. Except for me, who is a close servant, who can see that the master has something on his mind?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Lin Zhong, you and I grew up together. In name, we are master and servant, but in reality we are brothers. Since my wife passed away, thanks to your dedication in everything, otherwise, how could I be as good as I am today? as strong?"

After a pause, Lin Ruhai said again: "I received the order today, and I will go to Beijing to meet the new emperor next month. Seeing what the new emperor means, he should be willing to arrange a job for me in Beijing. You should prepare well these days. What to take away from the mansion, what to sell on the spot, it's up to you to decide."

"His Majesty promised to let Master return to Beijing to serve?" Lin Zhong couldn't help asking again.

Lin Ruhai smiled, "I didn't say it clearly, but the point has been made."

"I have been a salt censor in Yangzhou for eight years. I don't know what the situation in Beijing is like now?" Lin Ruhai said with emotion.

Having been loyal to the emperor for so many years, but at this moment he wants to beg for mercy from the new emperor, Lin Ruhai also felt a little upset.

He originally had the idea of ​​dying for his confidant, and wanted to complete his loyalty to the emperor in this position as the inspector of salt and censor.

Fortunately, Lin Zhong woke him up.

He still has Daiyu, and Daiyu is still young, if she is really entrusted to the Jia family and married to Jia Baoyu, it will not be a good thing for her.

Yu'er is pure and noble, and the Rongguo Mansion has not separated.

How can she bear the burden of the future mansion on her thin shoulders?

Lin Zhong's actions were extremely quick, and within a month the property of the Lin Mansion had been disposed of properly.

The emergency sale, although I lost some money, but overall, it has been much better than expected.

At the end of April, several large ships hired by the Lin family headed for the capital in a mighty manner.

..............................................................................

Rongxi Hall, Rongguo Mansion

Since Mrs. Wang mentioned the matter of Yuan Chun last time, she asked the inner supervisor more than once to inquire about Yuan Chun.

It's a pity that Jia's mansion is declining day by day, and there are not many people who are acquainted with each other in the court.

After inquiring so far, I only knew that Yuan Chun had gained the queen's trust in the palace.

But how was it going, but I couldn't ask at all.

Usually no one in the family can confide in their thoughts, now it is so easy for Aunt Xue to come to sit down, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sighed to Aunt Xue, "Yuan Chun has been in the palace for so many years, I have spent a lot of money, and I have lost my life." I was wasted, but I haven't had a good future so far, every time I think of this, I feel uncomfortable as a mother."

Aunt Xue asked: "Sister, Yuan Yatou's appearance and character are top-notch, and she was born in the Duke's Mansion. Today, she is on the Dabao for the first time, just to win over our four kings and eight princes, so I have to give Yuan Yatou an explanation, right?" .”

Aunt Xue is also in a hurry now.

Yuan Chun's appearance is no worse than Baochai's, and he was born in the Rongguo Mansion.Even if she failed to make a good appearance in the palace, can her Baochai stand out?

Mrs. Wang sighed slightly, "Oh, sister. Which of the female officials who can enter the palace is not from a family? Although Yuan Chun is from the Duke's Mansion, it is not enough to be seen in the palace."

Aunt Xue is far away from the capital, and her family is an imperial merchant, so she doesn't know much about government affairs.

Mrs. Wang is open-minded.

Although Yuan Chun said it nicely, she is the granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion.

However, Duke Rong has passed away, and Jia She, who succeeded him, is only a first-class general.Yuan Chun is also the daughter of the second wife, so speaking of it, she is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official.

In the palace, such an identity is the least valued.Even though Yuan Chun was outstanding in appearance, how could she dare to show her flowery beauty when she served beside the jealous queen?On weekdays, he can only pretend to be mediocre in order to protect himself.

For so many years, I can only live without merit.

Years pass quickly, and beauty is easy to grow old. If you don't think of a way, Yuan Chun will really fall into it.

Thinking of Jia Rong's wife whom she met a few days ago, Mrs. Wang was still hesitant.

As a person who has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for many years, Mrs. Wang knew that there was something wrong with Qin's identity.

But in such a sensitive period when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, revealing this matter may help Yuanchun earn supreme glory, or it may violate a taboo and knock her out of the dust.

Mrs. Wang thought about it for many days, but she couldn't make up her mind at all.

Thinking of the pampered daughter at home, but now serving others in the palace, Mrs. Wang has a hard-hearted heart that has been cultivated over the years, so she can't help but shed tears at this moment.

Aunt Xue knew she couldn't help, and Baochai had to rely on her sister to be elected.Seeing Mrs. Wang crying sadly, she couldn't help persuading: "Sister, don't be sad. Life in the palace is not easy for my niece, so we have to help if we can. My sister is incompetent, and there are still some silver taels at home. The 1 taels , Sister, use it first."

Mrs. Wang hesitated and said, "How good is this?"

Aunt Xue said: "I have to rely on my sister to take care of Bao girl's affairs. There is not much money, but it is a little bit of my heart."

"Okay, our sisters are heretics after pushing around." Saying this, Mrs. Wang put away the banknotes.

"Ma'am, ma'am." Zhou Rui's family opened the curtain and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, seeing that Zhou Rui's family looked a little strange.

"The old lady got the news that the uncle of the Lin family has come to Beijing."
