The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

"You are really narrow." Shen said with a smile.

Chen Yunxian smiled, and went to bring over the plum cake made by Chen Yunteng. It was different from the cakes in Yangzhou. Chen Yunteng made small pieces, one bite at a time, which was very convenient.

Chen Yunxian took the chopsticks and fed them to Mrs. Shen.

After eating a plate of pastries, Chen felt that half of the hunger in her stomach had disappeared.

The young couple here kiss me and me, Chen Yun is forced to study and practice calligraphy, and when his sister-in-law is giving birth, he is caught by his brother to test her knowledge. Chen Yun feels that she is not enough and has to continue to increase her knowledge.

On the other side, Daiyu got up in the morning and went to the main courtyard to say hello, Lin Ruhai had already gone to the yamen.

"Why did Yu'er come so early today?" Song Yuting was about to see the steward of the mansion, when she heard the maid said that Daiyu came to pay her respects, she couldn't help being confused.

Daiyu invited Ann, and sat down beside Song Yuting, "There is something strange now, come and ask mother."

Hearing this, Song Yuting was thoughtful, and then asked her nanny Liu to lead all the maids out, and when only she and Daiyu were left in the room, Song Yuting asked her, "What does Yu'er want to know?"

It must be no small matter for Daiyu to come to ask her so early in the morning.

Seeing that Song Yuting sent everyone out, Daiyu asked without any scruples, "Mother, do you still remember the last time I heard someone gossiping in the garden?"

Song Yuting lowered her eyes, poured a glass of water for Daiyu, "You want to ask, who ordered them to sow discord in front of you?"

"To sow dissension?" Daiyu blinked, thinking again carefully, didn't this guy mean to sow discord between her and Song Yuting by saying those words?

Song Yuting sighed, "Some people here are your mother's original dowry, and the slaves on the Jia family's side are all relatives. The master sued most of them to the government before, and many slaves were beheaded directly. Some people hate your father."

Daiyu was puzzled when she heard the words, "You hate my father, why are you targeting me?"

"Because you got the dowry." Song Yuting reached out and rubbed Daiyu's head, and seeing her puzzled face, she sighed, "Some people are so selfish, it's their fault, and they suffered the consequences. But you still have to blame others.”

Daiyu heard that Song Yuting wanted to teach her, so she listened quietly.

"Your mother has been in charge of the family for more than 20 years, and the dowry she brought has already been married to the servants of the Lin family and merged together. It can be said that the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. Your father used such ruthless means to take back your mother's dowry.

But these slaves have already regarded these greedy dowry as their own private property, and used it to obtain more property. After they are all stolen, they will naturally take revenge. "

Daiyu frowned tightly, still unable to understand.

"You have a noble personality, clean eyes, and a rich background. Naturally, you can't understand the thoughts of these low-level people. You don't have to think about why they do this, and whether it makes sense. It has nothing to do with you anyway. I and Your father has sent them back to the Jia family.

Since your grandmother said that no matter how many slaves there are in his family, they should be sent back, so naturally we have to send them back. "

It's just that whether the Jia family, the servant who took revenge on the master's family, is willing to stay or not depends on whether they want to be shameless, or...

Daiyu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Song Yuting's purpose for doing this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes with a smile.

This is really cramped.

Don't look at the grandiose words of the Jia family, but if this kind of slave who betrayed the master really appeared in their house, they would not tolerate it.

Not to mention the Jia family, as long as there is no problem with their brains, it is impossible to keep such a slave who betrays the master.

"Then the Jia family accepted it?" Daiyu asked.

She really wanted to know what the Jia family would do.

Song Yuting smiled softly, "I sent these slaves to their homes with great fanfare. Even if they don't want them, they have to accept them first."

Daiyu pursed her lips and suppressed a smile.

Daiyu was very angry when Mother Jia asked Nanny Lai to come to question her father, but now Song Yuting sent these servants back according to what Nanny Lai said that day, she didn't think it was a compromise, it was clearly Song Yuting's mockery.

Since your family said that there are all sorts of problems with slaves, you shouldn't make a fuss with the government. If you want to send them back to your family, then send them back to you and see how you arrange them.

"Mother has a heart." Daiyu said with crooked eyebrows.

Song Yuting smiled and said, "You father and daughter, one and the other looked shrewd, and they were bullied to death, and they didn't know how to fight back. If it was me, her face would be swollen."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud, it was true, after Song Yuting got married, the way she was educated was that she could eat anything but not suffer.

If the opponent's power is stronger than yours, but you can't fight, that's another story. After all, as time goes on, no one can guarantee that he will be in power for a lifetime. When the opponent loses power in the future, there will be revenge.

"Yu'er will definitely change what mother taught me." Daiyu laughed.

Song Yuting also laughed, "Little girl, just smile more, always have a sad face, and the days will get harder and harder."

"My daughter has been educated." Daiyu said with a smile.

"Since you're here, follow me to be a housekeeper. Let's go to the front hall." Song Yuting stretched out her hand and said.

Daiyu put her hand up and followed Song Yuting to the front hall to meet the stewards.

Sometimes when she came to pay her respects, she would meet Song Yuting doing housework, and usually Song Yuting would keep her and teach her how to deal with it.

For a family like them, even though there are only three owners, there are many things in the house. Whenever there is a chance, Song Yuting will teach Daiyu how to distinguish and how to solve them.

Fortunately, Daiyu is smart enough, and Song Yuting is also very happy to teach.

……

The academy was closed, and it was hard to have such a long vacation. Chen Yunjue actually wanted to go out and have fun.

But just went out to play for a while, unexpectedly his sister-in-law gave birth, Chen Yun would visit his little nephew whenever he had time, and turned down all the invitations outside with excuses.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Yunjuan's third uncle Chen Tianlu returned to the capital in a snowy day.

It has been half a year since Chen Tianlu left Beijing for Jiangsu. Chen Yunjuan was worried that his third uncle would not be able to come back for the New Year, but he did not expect to return to the capital before New Year's Eve.

However, after the third uncle returned to Beijing, he did not stay at home, but went directly to the palace to meet the saint. It was not until dark that Chen Tianlu returned home, and Chen Yunxian hosted a banquet for the third uncle in the side hall to welcome him.

"Yunxian, in a blink of an eye, you have become a father, time flies so fast."

At the banquet, Chen Tianlu was full of emotions while drinking a small wine.

Chen Yunxian poured wine for the third uncle with a smile, "Third uncle, you entered the palace to face the saint, why have you been there for so long?"

After pouring Chen Yunxian out of the wine, the smile on Chen Tianlu's face disappeared, "Big accident is about to happen."

"How do you say it?" Chen Yunxian put down the jug and said seriously.

Chen Tianlu glanced at Chen Yunjue who was staring at him curiously, Chen Yunxian followed his line of sight to see his younger brother, and then turned back, "Yunjue is not small, he should listen to some things."

"You kid is still partial to your younger brother as always. Can he listen to such a big matter?" Chen Tianlu said amusedly.

Chen Yunxian's complexion remained unchanged, "What's the matter? I'll explain to Yunyu everything that happens in the court. He's getting older now, and it's time for him to go out to socialize. If he doesn't know the situation and is tricked by someone, where should he go?" Reasoning?"

"You are the one who makes the most sense." Chen Tianlu muttered, but he did not insist on letting Chen Yun borrow it back. He urged Chen Yunxian to pour the wine, "This time I went south to Jiangsu to check the whereabouts of the salt tax. It is really dangerous."

"I know Uncle San, you are in danger. If you didn't go to Jiangsu for this trip, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back." Chen Yunxian said bluntly.

Chen Tianlu choked, grinned and said, "You kid is always kind to your brother."

"Third Uncle, what are you talking about? I respect you very much." Chen Yunxian said with a smile.

Chen Tianlu raised his eyebrows, "Come on, I won't tell you this." He drank another sip of wine and sighed, "Your boy is always smart, guess who is greedy for a million salt tax."

Chen Yunxian smiled and said, "Third Uncle is testing me?"

"Take it as a test for you, let's talk about it." Chen Tianlu said.

Chen Yunxian thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll tell you, third uncle, please correct me."

"Ah."

"The emperor appointed the third uncle as an imperial envoy to go to Jiangsu to investigate the whereabouts of the salt tax. Afterwards, Prince Xining's son came to contact Yunyu. Xu felt that Yunyu was young and easy to fool, so he wanted to start with him."

Chen Yunxian smiled and said, "So I guess it has something to do with King Qi."

Chen Tianlu nodded slightly, "What else?"

besides?Chen Yun frowned. The only person who had contact with him from the beginning to the end was the prince of Xining. Could it be that someone from Jiangsu got involved?

Chen Yunxian shook his head, "This is groundless, and I can't just guess."

"Succeed, you are very good at discovering some clues from this little detail." Chen Tianlu took a sip of wine, "The Jiangsu side was originally the money bag of the abolished prince."

Hearing Chen Tianlu mention the abolition of the crown prince, Chen Yun's expression changed slightly.

Chen Yunxian said, "Prince Abandoned has long been executed, so he couldn't have crawled out of the ground to be greedy for the money, right?"

"So, it was originally." Chen Tianlu put down his wine glass, "King Zhongshun supports the crown prince, and his wife's natal nephew married the crown prince's younger sister."

Isn't King Zhongshun's wife Gao's sister?

"Third Uncle means that not only King Qi but also King Zhongshun are colluding with Jiangsu?" Chen Yun couldn't help asking.

Chen Tianlu glanced at Chen Yun, "Your reaction is quick, but you guessed wrong, Yunxian, guess what?"

"Since the abolished prince is put to death, King Zhongshun will definitely support another prince, and the most justified one is King Qi."

Chen Yunxian said lightly, that's what he said, but Chen Yunxian didn't think that King Zhongshun would be such a person who was willing to play the role of a dragon.

If given the chance, wouldn't it be nice to be an emperor by yourself?Why do you want to support your opponent's son as emperor, and you are full?

Chen Tianlu smiled, "Yunxian is still smart."

Chen Yunjue: "..." I suspect that you are implicating me.

Chen Yunxian glanced at the third uncle, and said indifferently, "Yunjue just doesn't know much, third uncle don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, I'm drunk, I don't want to talk to you guys, I'm leaving." Chen Tianlu picked up the jug, got up and left.

Chen Yunxian got up to send him out, and Chen Yunjian followed behind.

When the third uncle was gone, Chen Yunjue sighed, "Did the third uncle tell us the news on purpose?"

Whether it was the collusion between King Zhongshun and King Qi to corrupt ink and salt taxes, or the tricks that King Qi did behind the scenes, the impact was not small.

But Chen Tianlu told them while drinking.

"Just be clear in your heart, don't go around talking..." Chen Yunxian patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I'm afraid this year will be uneasy again."
