[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian got up to accept the imperial edict, but Deping did not leave, but said to Lin Jian: "Master Hou, although this case has been concluded, the Holy Majesty has also given an imperial edict to Lord Hou, but Lord Hou can't go out now. I have to wronged Lord Hou to stay in prison for a few more days, the Holy One was very angry about this matter, Lord Hou really angered the Holy Father this time, and the Holy Lord ordered Hou Ye to stay in the prison for another half a month to meditate on his own past, Reflect on yourself."

Lin Jian lowered his eyes and hooked his lips. When he raised his eyes again, the half-smile in his eyes had long since disappeared, and his face was very calm.

He asked Deping: "Can my father-in-law tell me, who else knows the oracle of the Holy Majesty?"

Deping was an old man who served by his side when Emperor Chengsheng was the prince. Lin Jian joined the palace to study with the prince since he was a child. Xiao Yu and him have always been liked by Emperor Chengsheng. Naturally, Deping and Lin Jian are also the same. Very close.

Deping can be regarded as watching Lin Jian grow up. Seeing him asking this question, Deping pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "When the Holy Majesty gave the old slave this order, the King of Xining County, the King of Beijing County, and His Royal Highness the Prince It's right in front of you."

According to Deping, Emperor Chengsheng drafted the decree of dismissal in front of Shen Shu Shui Rong and Xiao Yu.Emperor Chengsheng was still very angry when he mentioned Lin Jian's actions, Shen Shu mentioned Lin Jian's criticism and frame of Shen Qiao, and kept saying that he was wronged, and Shui Rong also said a few words from the sidelines.

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few words for Lord Hou, but His Majesty reprimanded him for a few words, and His Highness the Crown Prince said nothing more. The old slave received the imperial decree and was appointed by the Holy Majesty to come here to announce the decree. The old slave left At that time, the Holy Majesty had an oral order. But after the Holy Majesty said this oral order, the King of Xining County did not complain about his grievances."

After listening to Deping's narration, Lin Jian nodded to show that he understood.

Deping was ordered to come to proclaim the decree and could not stay for long.After saying these few words with Lin Jian, he bid farewell to Lin Jian and prepared to return to the palace to return to his life.

Lin Jian had to stay in prison for another half month, and he couldn't send Deping off, so he just sent him off in prison.

Deping led the two young eunuchs away, and the jailer who followed didn't lock the cell door, and didn't give Lin Jian food, so he just followed Deping and walked away, the jailer seemed to have not seen him from the beginning to the end. In the shadow of the corridor stood a burly man in black.

Lin Jian and the others left without looking in the direction of the man in black. He walked to the couch and sat down cross-legged. He put the imperial decree aside, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again. Dong: "This person is gone, isn't the master planning to come in?"

Before Lin Jian finished speaking, the man in black who stood there holding his breath for a long time suddenly moved.

Until the man in black came to the light and entered the prison from the outside, by the flickering light of the torch, one could see that the man in black did not come empty-handed, and he was holding a dark brown food in his hand. box.

Just now, the man was standing in the shadow, the box was too dark, so it was not easy to be spotted.

Lin Jian moved the small table on the couch in front of him, and the man in black who walked in had already sat down opposite Lin Jian.

The man in black put the food box he was carrying on the small table. He didn't rush to open it, but took off the hood on his head first, and then took off the kerchief on his face, revealing his true face Come.

"Did Hou Ye know that he is a poor monk?"

Lin Jian laughed, helped the visitors to open the food box, and took out the food one by one.

"Master is dressed tightly to cover his appearance, but I have dealt with him so many times, how can I not recognize his figure? Even if the master is far away, the smell in this prison is not very pleasant. I must have not noticed, but I did not miss the sandalwood scent on the master. As soon as the master came in, I guessed the identity of the master."

Even when he saw Zhaowen, the abbot of Chonglian Temple in Mengkong Mountain, came to the prison together with Deping, and saw that Deping and Zhaowen had no communication but obviously walked together, Lin Jian was not surprised.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "What's more, although this food box is specially made and it was sealed tightly just now, I can still smell the aroma of the food. I am still very familiar with the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace, and I can tell it when I smell it."

Lin Jian is really hungry, please take it with him before using your chopsticks, as he has already eaten before coming: "Master Hou, please help yourself. The poor monk sent this specially for Lord Hou."

Lin Jian was not polite when he heard the words, and immediately started to use it.

He saw that the food was really exquisite, and it was indeed the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace. All the food was his favorite dish, and the food box was something from the palace. After the meal, Lin Jian started to pack the dishes on the small table into the food box, and then looked at Zhao Wen who was quietly meditating with his eyes closed and smiled.

"The master has been to the palace?"

Lin Jian reached out and clicked on the re-covered food box and asked, "Is this food sent by the master? Or did His Royal Highness ask the master to deliver it?"

Zhao Wen slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, looked at Lin Jian and said softly: "Your Majesty issued an imperial decree to dismiss Lord Hou, and he will be detained here for another half a month as a punishment, so that Lord Hou can be quiet. Thinking about myself and reflecting on myself, the Holy Majesty is very angry with Hou Ye, how could Hou Ye think that this meal was sent by the poor monk ordered by the Holy Majesty?"

Lin Jian said with a half-smile, "Master has come here with Eunuch Deping, what else is impossible?"

"Look at the master, obviously he has been to the palace and met the emperor. Otherwise, how could the emperor allow the master to dress up like this and come to me quietly with Eunuch Deping? The emperor's decree to dismiss me is for the whole king's law." , not to vent anger. The Holy One ordered me to be detained for another half a month, telling me to meditate on my past and reflect on myself, that was to appease the King of Xining."

"Master was just beside me. Didn't you hear Eunuch Deping say that after the Holy Majesty reprimanded me angrily, he ordered me to be imprisoned again, so the Prince of Xining would stop complaining?"

Zhao Wen sighed: "Hou Yeming/Hui."

"The poor monk is indeed as Hou Ye said. He has already disguised himself and entered the palace to meet the Holy One. The matter of the Holy Majesty's inquiry is the same as Hou Ye expected earlier. According to Hou Ye's earlier instructions, the poor monk truthfully told the Holy Spirit what happened back then. Yes, the Holy Majesty knows now."

"The food in this food box was brought in by His Royal Highness asking the poor monk. His Royal Highness said that the Holy Majesty has been investigating the past in Lingnan for a while, and he has read a lot of this military newspaper."

Zhaowen took out a small bundle from his bosom, handed some coarse clothes inside to Lin Jian, and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness means that you don't want Master Hou to be wronged for half a month in prison. The Crown Prince His Highness asked the poor monk to bring this, and asked Lord Hou to put it on. After Lord Hou goes out, someone will come to settle him down. After Lord Hou goes out, he can continue to check the previous affairs. After half a month has passed, he can show his face in front of people. .”

Lin Jian took the small bundle together, and found that there was a false hair and beard inside. Lin Jian threw the small bundle on the table, and asked with a smile, "Master didn't you?" Are you planning to talk to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"When the master met the Holy One, was His Royal Highness the Prince also by his side?"

Lin Jian asked Zhaowen several questions, but Zhaowen said no. He also said that when he met Emperor Chengsheng, the prince was not there.

Lin Jian understood: "That's right. His Royal Highness still doesn't know the inside story. It's not the time for him to know now, and he will naturally know in a few days. Everything that needs to be investigated has already been investigated. There is no need to continue to investigate. I really don't need to go out, it's already here, and there is really no need to make extra troubles."

Lin Jian didn't go out, so he asked Zhaowen to put away the small burden again, and told him to send a message to Xiao Yu when he went out again, so that he didn't have to arrange these things secretly.

According to reports, it was only to fulfill Xiao Yu's entrustment, seeing that Lin Jian was not willing, nor did he persuade him, he just folded the coarse clothes and put them in the small bag, and then put the small bag in his arms.

I heard that in my heart, I didn't want Lin Jian to go out at this time.

"The Holy Majesty asked Hou Ye to reflect on himself in prison for half a month, not only to appease the Xining County King, but also to protect Hou Ye. In the view of the Holy Majesty, it is better for Hou Ye to go out at this time than to be safe in prison. There are many eyeliners in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it is precisely because there are so many eyeliners in all parties that it is not easy to do it. It is difficult to say if it is outside."

Lin Jian was silent for a long while, and then asked Zhao Wen: "My father, mother, elder brother, second brother, and the family, are they all right?"

Zhao Wen nodded and said it was all right: "Master Hou made careful arrangements before he went to prison. Everyone has someone who secretly protects them. The General's Mansion is even more heavily guarded. No one dares to make mistakes, and no one will take this risk."

"It's just—" Zhaowen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just a few days ago, the old general made the decision and went to Jia's mansion to propose a marriage for Lord Hou. Lord Hou was engaged to Miss Lin, and the wedding date is set for this summer. Miss Lin is now The mansion is preparing for marriage, so it is inconvenient to go out. The old lady asked the poor monk to tell Lord Hou that Miss Lin was engaged to Lord Hou. This incident caused a bit of trouble in the capital. Just because of this, some people in the capital changed their tone. For Lin The girl said something good about Lord Hou."

"It's just that Master Hou's secrets have not yet come out. There are good things to say for Master Hou, but Master Hou's reputation has not been corrected. It will probably be corrected after the incident is revealed."

Lin Jian didn't care about the so-called reputation, but when he heard that he and Lin Daiyu were engaged, even the wedding date was fixed, his heart was full of turmoil and emotions.

He remembered half a month ago when he held Lin Daiyu in his arms, and under the reflection of such a flickering fire, he pressed a kiss on Lin Daiyu's forehead preciously.

At this time, the memory came back to life, and he seemed to have returned to that time, as if he felt the delicate and soft skin touched by his lips, and the warm intimacy that still lingers in his heart.

Lin Jian was fascinated, and thought that Lin Jian was thinking about the important matter he said in the second half of the sentence, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him, and sat there quietly waiting for Lin Jian to return to his senses.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the rain was blown into the roof window by the strong wind. Several drops of cool rain fell on Lin Jian's shoulders, neck, and neck, who was sitting with his back facing the roof window. Qinliang pulled Lin Jian out of his memories all at once.
