The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

The wind brushed against his cheeks, and his eyes were full of black. Shen Yulin looked at the young man somewhat similar to himself in a daze, kneeling under the mourning hall timidly along with the crowd.

"Old woman, she should have died a long time ago..." Aunt Zhao said happily in plain clothes with white flowers on her hairpin.

"Auntie, my leg hurts." The boy muttered.

Aunt Zhao patted the young man on the back of the head, and said in a low voice, "Be patient first, and then go to sleep when Baoyu can't hold on anymore."

The young man said unwillingly: "Why should we honor her? I'm afraid that the old woman can't even remember what my grandson looks like!"

Aunt Zhao snorted: "If you have the ability to yell, you'll know what's going on in the nest!"

The young man shut up, and after a while, he raised his head secretly, and saw a beautiful maid delivering porridge to the young man in filial piety who was kneeling in front of him, pursed his lips, and said, "Auntie, I'm hungry..."

Aunt Zhao also saw it, and she was furious immediately, pulling up the young man and saying, "Let's go find your second sister-in-law! Why does Baoyu have to eat and starve Huan'er..."

Shen Yulin watched the two go away in a daze, and suddenly found that in the mourning hall, his former aunt Wang quietly raised the corners of her lips.

not good!

He wanted to call out to the two of them, but he couldn't open his mouth. He wanted to catch up to see what happened, but he couldn't move his feet. He could only hover in the middle of the mourning hall, looking at Jia's various states like a wandering soul.

After an unknown amount of time, the figures of Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan finally appeared in Shen Yulin's eyes, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.

Aunt Zhao pulled Jia Huan back to her knees, Jia Huan rubbed her eyes and hiccupped.

The sound of chanting in the mourning hall continued, mixed with a few sobs from time to time, as the sky was getting brighter, Shen Yulin felt his body gradually getting lighter, and when he was fluttering, he suddenly heard a sentence.

"Ah! Aunt Zhao and the third master died suddenly!"

"Maybe the ancestors didn't want them to do evil, so they took them away!"

"If you do too many evil things, this is retribution."

……

Shen Yulin woke up in a cold sweat, sat up suddenly, and looked up to see the hazy sky outside, it turned out to be a nightmare.

He wiped his sweat, but his heart was still throbbing with anxiety.

Jinxiu heard the movement next door, immediately put on her coat and knocked on the door: "Master, are you going to get up?"

Now that Yinshi was approaching, Shen Yulin couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he said: "Well, fetch water and wash up."

After some tossing, the sky was already bright, and there was still an hour before the morning court, and Shen Yulin somehow made a detour to Cuihua Tower.

Cuihua Building is a property owned by the Yongning Palace. It is not considered a profitable business. The focus is on the good location, the elegant construction style, and the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. Ji Qian and his colleagues often discuss their affairs here.

Shen Yulin sat in the private room, holding a cup of tea and quietly lost in thought.

The dream just now was so real, it was so real that his heart still shudders even now, he even felt that that was the truth, there was no Shen Yulin's story where the mother and the boy went together like this?

In Hua Yaohou's genealogy, this is how the dead wife Zhao and the dead son Huan came from?

Calculating the time was right, without his intervention, the Jia family would not have lost the state plaque, Jia Baoyu would not have been thrown into a black jail so easily, and the old lady Jia would not have died a few months earlier.Without his involvement, Chen Yanqing is still fighting at the border at this time, and there is no time to save her, so mother and Yuan would be doomed?

Shen Yulin took a sip of tea, her eyes lowered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

☆☆☆☆☆.

Above the golden hall, Ji Chenxin patted the armrest of the dragon chair, threw a dark red bound memorial down the imperial steps, and said angrily, "Zhou Chaokang, how dare you bully me!"

Zhou Chaokang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, went out, knelt down, raised his head and said: "Once the 800 million taels of disaster funds are paid out, plus the official salary at the end of the month, there will be no money left in the treasury. The old minister is only afraid that the country will be in danger! Therefore, only 400 million taels will be allocated. Your Majesty." If you want to punish the old minister for this, the old minister has nothing to say!"

Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shi'ang came out and said: "I report to the sage, Zhou Chaokang deceived the emperor and neglected all the people in the world. His crime should be punished!"

Zhou Chaokang said angrily: "Zheng Shiang! Before you said this, at least you paid off the 50 taels of silver you owed to the treasury!"

Zheng Shiang blushed, and said: "My lord, it is disrespectful for Zhou Chaokang to yell at Yuqian!"

Ji Chenxin rubbed her forehead, frowned and said, "It's more than half a month, and the debt has not been paid off?"

Zhou Chaokang said word by word: "Except for the 6 taels owed by the Yongning Palace, no one came to pay it back. The veterans came to collect the debts one by one, and just closed the door 27 times!"

Ji Chenxin asked suspiciously: "The palace also owes money? The third one?"

Zhou Chaokang said: "The arrears of the lords vary. Most of them were due to insufficient budget when the government was opened, and the amount was not large. However, the only one who repays the money is Prince Ning."

Ji Chenxin pondered for a long time, and said, "The third child."

Ji Qian guessed something, Zhigui came out, and said respectfully: "I see my father."

Ji Chenxin said: "I ordered you to take charge of the household department temporarily and recover the debt, do you have any objection?"

Ji Qian said: "My son takes orders."

Ji Chenxin looked at his calm expression, sighed lowly, and said, "Whoever pays off the debt within one month, no matter who it is, their property will be confiscated, the men will be exiled, and the women's family members will be assigned to the army."

Chen Zhongxian's heart was shaken, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, is this matter too strict..."

Ji Chenxin said indifferently: "If you are a hero, King Ning will handle it at his discretion."

Ji Qian respectfully replied yes, a faint light flashed in his black eyes.

Chen Zhongxian has always been clean and honest, so naturally he didn't owe much money, and among his friends of the same generation, there was no one who wasted money and sold everything he owed. As soon as Ji Chenxin said that, he was worried about Jia's family.

Jia Daishan is good at everything, the only bad thing is his eyes. He married a prodigal woman, and every year he lost all the money he saved from fighting in the army. The second child has become a wimp.

The same goes for the grandchildren, the grandson of the first line is busy every day like a manager, but he praises the second son of the second wife to the sky, but he is an incompetent culprit. In the two lifetimes of the Jia family, it is easy to have a person who is not in the officialdom , and even taught them to send them out by themselves, it's just dumbfounding.

Chen Zhongxian let out a low sigh, and glanced at Shen Yulin behind him, seeing that his complexion was pale and his eyes were black and blue, he thought that he was also worried about the Jia family, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Shen Yulin was really thinking about the Jia family. He had a startling dream yesterday. He already knew what happened to the original body, and he couldn't help feeling sad. Although the original body died young, he still lived to be 16 years old. But at the age of eight, it took up eight years of his life, how could he not repay this debt?

It was his heart's wish to help his mother out of trouble, but he abandoned the third lady because of his own likes and dislikes, and he never liked to force himself, thinking about it, the only way to pay off this debt is to avenge the original body.

He didn't know how many people were involved in that matter, but in the end it was the mastermind of the Wang family. In the past, he didn't want to care about the grievances of the Houzhai family, but now...he had to spill the muddy water.

Shen Yulin made up his mind. At this time, Ji Chenxin was already selecting people for Ji Qian. Because this matter was too offensive, few volunteered.

Shen Yulin immediately came out and said: "My Majesty, I am willing to follow King Ning to track down the arrears."

Ji Qian turned his head casually and glanced at him slightly.

Shen Yulin lowered her eyes, not looking at him.

Knowing his background, Ji Chenxin couldn't help being slightly startled, and said: "It's not easy for the supervisory department to operate, does Shen Qing still have the strength?"

Shen Yulin pursed her lips, and said solemnly: "The matter of the household department is of great importance, and I should do my best to help the prince recover the debt."

Ji Chenxin pondered for a while, recalling Shen Yulin's childhood experience, and also knew that he had some tricks, so she said, "Quite."

Shen Yulin thanked her and smiled slightly.

At this time, Yu Shangqing also came out and said: "I am also willing to follow the prince to track down the arrears, please allow the sage!"

Yu Shangqing has refuted many corrupt officials recently, and even the third-rank censor has a lot of weight, so Ji Chenxin immediately agreed.

After the court, Shen Yulin was not in a hurry to go back to the Jusi, but went around a few times and entered the Cuihua Building. He knew that Ji Qian had something to say to him.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Yulin entered the private room on the third floor, he saw Ji Qian in black uniform.

"What happened to you just now?" Ji Qian frowned, "It's not a good job to track down the arrears, especially when the Supervisor is so busy."

Shen Yulin pursed her lips, stepped forward suddenly, hugged Ji Qian's waist, and pressed her cheek against his strong chest.

Ji Qian was startled, patted him on the back, and coaxed him in a low voice: "What's wrong? But what wronged you?"

Listening to Ji Qian's strong heartbeat.The uneasiness in Shen Yulin's heart gradually dissipated, he sighed and said: "Yesterday I had a nightmare, and I was a little flustered, I just wanted to find something to do to ease my mood."

Ji Qian laughed, and said: "Others just want to take off their errands to ease their mood, but you are the opposite."

Shen Yulin smiled lightly and said, "I can't think of anything else when I'm busy, and when I'm free, I always think wildly."

Ji Qian stroked the back of his head and said, "Didn't you say that dreams come in reverse? You're stuck in your mind thinking about things."

Shen Yulin sighed softly and said nothing.

Ji Qian sighed: "These days, teach the right deacon to be more tolerant. Don't ruin your body and track down the debt... Alas, I'm afraid it will be hard!"

Shen Yulin smiled and said, "You can bear it, why can't I bear it? I am not afraid of suffering."

Ji Qian was delighted to hear that, touched his cheek lightly with thin lips, and said with a low smile, "Are you willing to share weal and woe with me?"

Shen Yulin didn't avoid it this time, blinked his phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "I can share the suffering with you, but I don't know if you are willing to share the joys with me?"

Ji Qian sighed: "You silly boy, you share joys and sorrows, as you should."

Shen Yulin was slightly taken aback, but for some reason he felt his face was hot. He turned his head and buried his face in the man's warm embrace.

……

"In a few months, Yuan Yi will also accept a side concubine. In a blink of an eye, he is already this old."

Shen Yulin looked up at him, not understanding why he mentioned this.

Ji Qian smiled and said, "I'm just feeling a little bit emotional. How can a person's life be so short? I didn't meet you until I was 20, and I hugged you like this when I was 28. Even if I live to be a hundred years old, the days I spend with you are only 72 years." .”

Shen Yulin was speechless for a while, and then sighed after a long time: "I feel that if no one is with you in life, it will be short and at a loss. If someone is by your side, the journey will be long."

Ji Qian smiled slightly, and kissed the young boy on the cheek.

"It's Ji Qian's good fortune to stand shoulder to shoulder with you."
