Evening Shaohua in the Red House

The story was divided into two parts, but said that Li Wan came back from Jiamu's place this day, and was reading a book on the imperial concubine's couch. Suddenly Jia Lan came in frowning, with a preoccupied look, and couldn't help wondering: "What's the matter?" , who made you angry?"

Jia Lan didn't speak when she heard the words, she just glanced at the people in the room, Suyun understood, and hurriedly led a group of maids and women down.

Seeing this, Li Wan also looked serious, threw away the scroll and sat up, saying: "What happened?"

Jia Lan sighed and said, "I came out of the Imperial College today, and I was going to buy some snacks for my mother, but suddenly I heard people talking about Aunt Lin in the streets and alleys."

It turned out that rumors suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys in the past two days, saying that the former censor Lin Ruhai fell in love with General Liu Yuan's cousin, and wanted to forcefully marry a young girl who was over sixty years old.

Li Wan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and wondered, "Where did this rumor start?"

This kind of rumor seems to be intentional, but what is the purpose?Lin Ruhai has long since retired, and he has never heard that he has become enemies with others recently. Who is behind the scenes?

Jia Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I was worried after hearing that, so I went to my aunt's house immediately and told about it, but my aunt told me not to worry, he will take care of himself."

Li Wan listened, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Uncle Lin said so, I guess he already has his own ideas, so there is no need to worry."

This kind of love affair does not hinder the man much, and Lin Ruhai is not an ordinary person. When he was in the salt administration, he dealt with a group of salt merchant officials and experienced many troubles. Such a trick is not worth mentioning.

Sure enough, the rumors spread for a few days, but not many people believed them, they all laughed and said: "Master Lin is very handsome, if you want to get married, you would have already married, why wait until now."

There were also those who were jealous, and said bitterly: "This is not sure, maybe Mr. Lin has moved his mind when he saw that the girl has a good birth!"

However, not many people believed these words. Lin Ruhai was born in a family, and he had never seen such stunning beauty. There were also concubines and maidservants in the mansion, so how could he forcefully marry a girl who could be his granddaughter regardless of face.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was well-known, and after returning to Beijing, he recuperated at home and lived in seclusion. The Liu family had no contact with the Lin family, and it was impossible for a decent girl to go out at will, so how could a foreigner see her.

Therefore, this rumor spread for a few days, but it did not cause any harm to Lin Ruhai, but it made Jia Yucun angry.

Mrs. Liu steals the chicken but loses the rice and throws it away for nothing

He paid 1000 taels of silver, and even caused embarrassment, and he regretted it even more.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of March, and it was Princess Nan'an's birthday, so I posted a message to Daiyu a few days earlier.

Gu Zhan didn't agree with Daiyu going out because of the rumors these days, but Daiyu said: "My father is upright and upright, so why be afraid of these rumors, if we shrink back, we will be looked down upon .”

Seeing that she insisted on this, Gu Zhan had no choice but to let it go, and told Zijuan and the others: "Serve grandma carefully, and don't let others run into you."

Zicuckoo and others hurriedly agreed.

Daiyu tidied up this room, gathered Feng Shi and Gu Ling together, and went to Nan'an Palace to attend the banquet together.

At this time, all the wives who ordered to order arrived, and Daiyu congratulated Princess Nan'an on her birthday, so she took Gu Ling to look for Mrs. Feng, but she was stopped by a woman in red and green when she walked halfway. The other person is Jia Yucun's wife, Mrs. Hu.

Daiyu had heard Yinglian's mother, Feng Shi, talk about the old things earlier, and knew that this Hu family was Jiao Xing, the maidservant of the Zhen family, who was as ungrateful as Jia Yucun, and wondered that she could be a husband and wife, so she only had a calm expression on her face. Said: "I don't know what your wife can do?"

Seeing Daiyu's calm expression, Jiao Xing thought of Lin Ruhai's unharmed rumors that his master had concocted these days, and she became more and more annoyed. , really gratifying to congratulate, in my opinion, the family is too cold, now that Mr. Lin marries again, it will be lively from now on."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone fell silent, secretly said that she was born as a servant girl, she was not allowed to appear on the stage, and she didn't even have the rules and decency, even a slightly well-educated family would not say such things in front of others.

Daiyu always respected her father, so she was very angry when she heard the words, and she was going to have a fit, so she didn't know what to do; after thinking about it for a while, she sneered twice, and said: "Ma'am, what you said is really funny, but it's just some ignorant and stupid people. The woman was gossiping, but she didn't expect that the madam would even believe these rumors in the market.

Speaking of happy events, I should congratulate my wife. Our family has a small population, so it is naturally quieter. It is not as large as my wife's sisters. There are always happy events in the house, so it is very lively. "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing, this Lin Ruren was so eloquent, who didn't know that there were a lot of concubines in Jiayu Village, and at the beginning of the year, another noble concubine was brought into the mansion.

Jiao Xing's complexion turned red and white immediately, but she was blunt, and she didn't know how to refute, just as Princess Nan'an and Feng Shi walked over, Jiao Xing had inquired earlier that Feng's nature was to be sharp, and she didn't like Daiyu very much, so she immediately I am happy, so

Yixiang Feng said with a smile: "This Lin Ruren's mouth is too sharp. I just joked a few words, but I was robbed of it. It has been half a year since Lin Ruren passed the door. Why is there no good news?"

Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed when she heard her bluntly mocking her for not being able to have a child. She immediately blushed, but she was not easy to get angry. Holding Daiyu's hand, she looked at Jiaoxing coldly.

Princess Nan'an saw Jiao Xing causing trouble at her birthday banquet, and she felt even more displeased, but there are so many visitors today, the disturbance should not be too ugly, and she was about to smooth things over, when Feng Shi sneered, and said slowly: "My nephew The daughter-in-law is always outspoken, Madam please forgive me, as the issue of the heir is our own business, I don't need Madam to worry about it, but I heard that Jia Sima's house has good news a few days ago, and I haven't congratulated Madam yet."

No matter how much she disliked Daiyu, she was also a member of their Gu family and would never be humiliated by outsiders.

Princess Nan'an also almost laughed out, she said this even more mercilessly, she just pointed at the other party's nose and scolded the dog for meddling with the mouse.

And everyone knows that Jia Yucun's concubine gave birth to a son last year. I heard that she was diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago. The concubine was young and beautiful, and she was pregnant again and again. The concubine's room is connected to the house, and there will be a scene in the back house of Jiayu Village from time to time.

Jiao Xing blushed immediately when she heard the words, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw the gloating looks of the bystanders, and her face was even more blue and red, she was filled with shame and indignation.

Mrs. Feng seemed to have disappeared, and only smiled at Princess Nan'an and the others: "Speaking of this heir, our family rules are like this, and we only have children later. Our nephew and daughter-in-law are still young, so there is no rush at the moment. Our old lady also said Well, wait for two years, and it will be safer to have a child when you are older."

Princess Nan'an laughed when she heard the words: "It's still the old lady who loves my daughter-in-law dearly, but it's also reasonable. It's easier to stand up when you are older and have children."

The other wives also nodded, and one of them said: "That's right, my elder brother who was born at the age of 17 often gets sick, and the second boy who was born at the age of 20 has strong muscles and bones."

Everyone said something to you, and I talked to you, talking about the parenting scriptures, no one talked about the matter just now, Daiyu gradually calmed down.

Feng Shi winked at Gu Ling, and said: "These words are not suitable for you young girls, go and hang out with your sister-in-law."

Gu Ling understood, and quietly pulled Daiyu away.

Daiyu thanked Feng for a

Laughing, she followed Gu Ling out.

Feng Shi and the other wives talked lively, completely ignoring Jiao Xing.

Jiao Xing is used to bossing her around, but she has never been subjected to this kind of anger, her heart was burning with anger, and she couldn't get angry in front of Princess Nan'an, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it, and after returning home, she dropped several tea bowls, still unable to relieve her anger, and waited until night When Jia Yucun came back, he learned everything from him.

Jia Yucun was also furious when he heard the words, slammed the table on the table, and said with a serious face: "Okay, what a father-daughter relationship! Doesn't Lin Ruhai love his daughter, I see what he can do this time!"

Two days later, the rumors in Beijing suddenly changed again, saying that the Lin family had been passed down for several generations, and the number of heirs was weak, and even in the hands of Lin Ruhai, there were no heirs. After entering the Gu family for more than half a year, there is no news in my stomach. I am afraid that most of them have followed their father, and the Gu family's heirs are worrying.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone is instigating these words at a glance. Several friends of Lin Ruhai heard about this in the same year, and hurriedly hosted a banquet for Lin Ruhai, and asked, "Ruhai, have you offended anyone recently? How many times have you heard those unpleasant words outside?" We've all heard it."

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, and said, "I don't know who I offended. What's more, I usually live in a secluded place and rarely go out, so how could I offend anyone?"

One of them worked in Dali Temple, and he heard the words and reminded: "Think carefully, if there is no deep hatred, why did the other party come up with such a vicious plan to destroy your and Ling Qianjin's reputation."

Lin Ruhai deliberately lowered his head and thought for a long time, before hesitating for a long time, he said: "I didn't offend anyone. Only last month, brother Yucun came to propose a marriage proposal for Liu's cousin, but I declined, but brother Yucun has always behaved well. How can he do such a despicable and shameless thing with the friendship of a teacher and a student? It must have nothing to do with him."

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was a person with clear eyes and a clear heart. If there was anything they didn't understand, they looked at each other and thought about it in their hearts.

On the other hand, because of Jia Yucun's promotion behind the scenes, the rumors spread wildly, and soon spread into the palace, even Emperor Qingde and Empress Jiang heard about it.

Emperor Qingde came back from court one day, and told Empress Jiang about this matter, saying: "I don't know who Lin Hai offended, but he came up with such a shameful method, even Lin Hai's daughter who came out of the cabinet will not be spared."

Lin Ruhai was single-handedly promoted by the Supreme Emperor back then. When he was in the Yanzheng, Emperor Qingde also planted a dark thread by his side, so he knew his personality clearly. Besides, he grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he has been an emperor for many years. Such

The insidious means are very familiar.

Empress Jiang has been in charge of the harem for many years, so she doesn't know the tricks in it. Thinking of the return of the eyeliner in Concubine Li's palace a few days ago, her thoughts changed, and she sighed: "That's right, Mr. Lin is also a member of the court after all." I don't know what kind of enmity it is, but it's really hateful that the other party has used such a vicious plan. Poor Yu'er was implicated innocently. Yesterday, the concubine's grandmother and the third sister-in-law entered the palace to pay their respects , I cried once talking about it.”

Emperor Qingde's heart moved when he heard the words, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I almost forgot that the daughter of the Lin family is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Guo's uncle, and she is also Zitong's younger sister."

Empress Jiang said: "Yu'er has always been a pain in the ass, it's pitiful to see her, this time she has suffered this grievance for nothing, and my concubine wants to call her into the palace tomorrow to talk."

Emperor Qingde nodded and said: "There is no need to worry about the outside affairs. With Lin Hai's ability, it will take a few days to solve it, but Miss Lin is Zitong's sister and the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family. Wronged, Zitong, just watch the cooking."

Empress Jiang agreed, saying: "In this case, I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Yu'er."

Emperor Qingde waved his hand, said the common words of going home again, and drove back to Taiji Palace.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Mrs. Gu handed over the sign and entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

Empress Jiang was stunned when she heard the news, but soon realized that Daiyu was hurt by the rumors, and the Gu family naturally would not just sit idly by. Mrs. Gu must have entered the palace to ask the empress dowager to make decisions, so she immediately ordered the female officer: "Wait for Gu When the old lady came out from the empress dowager, she invited her to come over."

The female officer agreed to go.

Li Wan and the others here also learned about the outside affairs and were very anxious when they suddenly heard that the Empress Dowager summoned Daiyu and rewarded him with countless treasures, and praised Daiyu for her filial piety, and for many years helping the poor, giving porridge and medicine, Shuhui and virtuous, can be set as a model for women.

Then the queen also rewarded Daiyu.

As soon as this remark came out, those who talked about Daiyu immediately stopped talking.

Rumors spread before that many people who hated Daiyu secretly praised themselves. They were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, and their parents and elder brothers held them in their hands. Fang, why does Lin Daiyu have such a good life, her family background is noble, and her husband loves her.

Therefore, when the rumors came out, they were all very happy, and they had the happiest discussion in the past few days.

The empress dowager and empress are the models of women's virtues in the world, and now they all praise Daiyu, how dare everyone make irresponsible remarks.

The next day, Emperor Qingde also called

When I met Lin Ruhai, I praised him for his clear taxation, honesty and honesty of officials during his tenure in the Yan Administration, and he was a meritorious official of the country, so he was rewarded with many things.

Hearing this letter, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Jia Mu and the others.

Within two days, the rumors in Beijing changed again. Suddenly, it began to spread that Da Sima Jia Yucun insisted on being a matchmaker to propose marriage to Master Lin. Master Lin politely refused, but Jia Sima took revenge secretly.

It is said that after Jia Sima was dismissed, he still worked as a teacher in the Lin family, and later he was able to recover with the help of Mr. Lin. Unexpectedly, he is ungrateful now, which is really disgusting.

Then it came out that the wife of the main house in the backyard of Jiayu village had mutilated the concubine's children, wives and concubines were fighting, etc. The world loves such scenes of grievances and hatred, and the rumors spread faster than before.

Jia Yucun was furious. What he hated the most was when others brought up his humble past, but he knew that it was Lin Ruhai who was using his own way to punish him, but he couldn't find any evidence, let alone speak. Justify.

Lin Ruhai sneered when he heard about it. As soon as the rumors came out two days ago, he had already found out that Jia Yucun ordered someone to release him, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian were behind the scenes.

If it was the previous rumors, he didn't take it to heart at all. To him, it's just a bad reputation and it doesn't matter, but he just laughed it off.

You shouldn't, you shouldn't, Jia Yucun and Mrs. Liu shouldn't have shot Daiyu. What Lin Ruhai loves most is his daughter. What Jia Yucun and Mrs. Liu did really touched his scales. How can he bear it now? This anger.

During this period of time, he ordered people to investigate quietly in private, and soon found out that Jia Yucun's wife, Hu Shi, was taking the lawsuit and privately releasing loan sharks.

Jia Yucun's eldest son even fought with others for prostitutes and killed people, but all this was covered up by Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun was ambitious, and was very cautious at the beginning of his official career, but after a long time, he was in a high position and got used to going smoothly, and he gradually slacked off. He naturally knew about Xing's lawsuit and usury, and he secretly helped to cover it up.

However, Jia Yucun acted very cautiously, and Lin Ruhai inquired in many ways, and got the evidence after many twists and turns.

Kyoto was only a few days away from the Tianjin government, and within two days, people who had visited the Liu family's original place also came back. It was really a coincidence that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian were also chasing lawsuits and lending usury privately.

Lin Ruhai shook his head secretly, wondering how the two families can be so speculative, they are really the same breed.

Now that all the evidence has been gathered, it is time

It's over.

Although Lin Ruhai has retired, the contacts accumulated over the years are still there, and there are still many old friends from the same year in the court. Immediately sort out the crimes of Jia Yucun, Mrs. Liu and others, and called the housekeeper to order: "Take these two Send this letter to Mr. He, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then to Mr. Zheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Knowing the importance of these two documents, the old housekeeper took them carefully and hid them in his arms, saying: "Master, don't worry, this slave knows how to do it."

It is said that Mrs. Liu was having a banquet in the garden with her niece and daughter Qian Lan'er, when she suddenly saw a woman rushing to Jin with a panicked expression, and replied: "The old lady is not well, there is the official of the Jinyi Mansion, who will lead you Several judges are here!"
