[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Upon hearing this, Lin Jian asked Qian Ying, "Where did Xue Pan hear those rumors?"

"Yun'er said she didn't know," Qian Ying replied, "She said she also asked Xue Pan this question, but Xue Pan refused to say it, and said that the rumors were everywhere. You can find out after a little inquiring. Yun'er said that she dare not get involved in these things, and she has never inquired about it."

After hearing this, Lin Jian nodded lightly, motioning for Qian Ying to continue talking.

Qian Ying said: "Young Master's respect and protection of Miss Lin is known to everyone in the city. Xue Pan dare not touch Young Master, but if he uses this matter against Miss Lin, he can humiliate Miss Lin and find some money for Young Master. Trouble is also what Xue Pan likes to see."

Qian Ying said that Yun'er was very cooperative, and what he said to Lin Jian now were all Yun'er's original words.

It's just that at this point, Qian Ying suddenly stopped talking, and just glanced at Lin Daiyu a little hesitantly, as if hesitating whether to say the next thing or not.

Lin Jian saw that he was frowning slightly. Before Lin Jian could speak, Lin Daiyu, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, saw Qian Ying's vacillating gaze on her, so she pursed her lips and said, "Guardian Qian, you can speak bluntly. No matter what they say It doesn't matter what I hear."

Hearing this, Qian Ying went to look at Lin Jian again, Lin Jian nodded slightly, motioning Qian Ying to speak bluntly.

Qian Ying then said: "Yun'er said that Xue Pan was very dissatisfied with Miss Lin because of his younger sister's engagement to Jia Baoyu. He felt that Jia Baoyu and Miss Lin were not good enough to retreat and then asked to marry Miss Xue's family. In addition, Jia Baoyu is now Xue Pan was very unhappy because he was no more intelligent than before. He felt that his younger sister had picked up something that others didn't want. However, the date of the marriage between Xue's girl and Jia Baoyu had already been fixed, and Xue Pan couldn't change it, so he made this statement The grievances are all on Miss Lin."

Qian Yingdao, "Na Yun'er also said that Xue Pan originally planned to spread the news that Miss Lin was the original author shortly after the lanterns made tonight were released, and then wantonly insulted Miss Lin, making Miss Lin Xue Pan asked Yun'er to do this, but Yun'er refused, so Xue Pan had no choice but to hand it over to the clerk in Xue's shop. But not long ago, Yun'er said that Xue Pan Pan came to her for a drink and complained, saying that he was not allowed to do that, and stopped the shop assistants abruptly, not allowing them to go out and spread bad things about Miss Lin. He also made Xue Pan swear that he would never destroy Miss Lin again. reputation."

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly when she heard this, and her heart twitched slightly, and she heard Lin Jian ask: "Who is stopping Xue Pan?"

Qian Yingdao: "Yun'er said she didn't know. She asked Xue Pan, but Xue Pan refused to say anything, only said that this person's request, even if he is absolutely unwilling, he can only listen to others. Even if he is unwilling There is no other way but to go like this.”

Qian Ying knew what Lin Jian was most concerned about, and before Lin Jian could ask again, Qian Ying said, "Yun'er said, because of that person's intervention, this matter will be left as it is. Xue Pan doesn't care It will continue, but the lanterns that have already been made will not be taken back. Xue Pan said that if anyone else guesses who wrote these poems, or if someone spreads the original author of these poems, he will not be concerned. Related."

Qian Ying told Lin Jian that she had heard all the news brought back, and Lin Jian asked Qian Ying, "How is Yun'er doing now?"

Qian Yingdao: "She knows a lot about Xue Pan. If the young master wants to arrest Xue Pan, she is an indispensable witness. His subordinates have secretly detained her in Jinxiangyuan. Only when the young master has something to say, will he Bring her to justice."

Lin Jian nodded after hearing this, but didn't tell Qian Ying what to do immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Daiyu, and reached out to shake her hand. Seeing that Lin Daiyu's hand was still warm, he still smiled and said, "It's getting late. , Yu'er, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

The person behind the ghost found out that it was Xue Pan. Lin Jian became more calm after grasping all the circumstances. He personally sent Lin Daiyu back to the room. Lin Jian sent Lin Daiyu in, and the three of them rushed up to welcome her, and helped Lin Daiyu take off her cloak.

It was really late at night, Lin Jian didn't want to disturb Lin Daiyu's quietness, so he asked her two questions before leaving.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "Yu'er, Jia Yucun, what do you think of it?"

Lin Daiyu didn't understand why Lin Jian smelled Jia Yucun. She thought for a while before slowly answering: "He was once invited by my late father to teach me to read for two years. Later, my mother passed away and I fell ill. His health was poor and he could not continue his studies. In order to reward him for teaching, my father wrote a letter to my second uncle, asking my second uncle to find an official position for him. Later, my second uncle found an official position for him, and it was at that time that my grandmother picked me up. When he came to Duzhong, he followed him in a small boat and came to Duzhong as an official."

Lin Jian nodded, and then asked Lin Daiyu: "In your opinion, what is the relationship between Lin Gong and Jia Zheng?"

Lin Daiyu answered very quickly this time: "The relationship between the second uncle and my late father is actually not that close. The third brother has always known that the Great Zhou favored martial arts and despised literature, and the emperor had the intention to promote the civil servants. The status of the imperial family is still higher. If it weren't for this level of in-law relationship, the second uncle probably wouldn't have had any contact with the late father."

"Because of my mother's relationship, my late father treated my second uncle with politeness and courtesy, and my second uncle respected my late father's literary name. But if there is any deeper and closer contact in these years, I don't think there will be any."

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she asked Lin Jian again, "Third brother, if you ask me this, could it be that there was some collusion between my late father and my second uncle that I don't know about?"

Lin Jian shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "Of course not."

He said: "Yu'er, the forces of the four princes and eight princes are intertwined. If the Holy Majesty wants to eliminate their influence, it is impossible to deal with every detail. There are always some fish that slip through the net and families that have not been dealt with. Besides, if it wasn't for the crime of treason, it would be impossible for the entire family to be destroyed. It is nothing more than breaking up these gathered forces, and then some small forces and small families that are attached to them will have nothing to rely on."

"The Wang family is the leader of the whole matter. The historians and the Wang family committed suicide. The Xue family is a family of merchants, and they don't engage in politics. They escaped during these storms/waves."

"But this Xue Pan is dishonest. At this juncture, he insisted on making such a thing. He was not clean at all, but he had no time to deal with him because he had a lot of things before. Now that he has bumped into him, then Naturally, the old and new accounts will be settled together."

In order to clear up Lin Daiyu's doubts, Lin Jian explained the entanglement very clearly, "If you want to settle accounts with Xue Pan, Jia Yucun can't pass it up. If it weren't for Jia Yucun's favoritism and fraud, Xue Pan really didn't have the peaceful life these few years However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also has a file on the matter of Jia Yucun, and the investigation is almost complete, but it has not yet been reported. Xue Pan can't escape with his life, and it is even more impossible for Jia Yucun to escape. And the official position of Jia Yucun Jia Zheng conspired for him."

"Alternatives for official vacancies are always able to seek this. This is something that should be done in the officialdom. It is not surprising. But if a thorough investigation is required, Jia Zheng and Lin Gong will always be involved. Jia Zheng is not clean, but he must be the same as Jia Amnesty. It's a little better, but if his affairs are found out, he can't keep his current job in the Ministry of Industry. It's just that when publishing a collection of articles, this matter will involve Mr. Lin. As evidenced by his letters back then, Mr. Lin did not directly Finding a job for Jia Yucun is nothing. Kuang Shengshang has always valued Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin has not been very close to the Jia family these years. This is obvious to all, but there will be some gossip. Let me know."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said calmly: "Third brother, my late father stood upright and was not afraid of gossip. Kuang's late father and mother were married to the Jia family. My late father didn't have much contact with the Jia family, but my late father was If you really treat the Jia family as a family, these relationships cannot be removed. Just leave gossip to others, my late father has no shame in his heart, and he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

Lin Jian was silent.

Lin Ruhai died young, and before Lin Ruhai passed away, he wrote a letter entrusting Lin Daiyu to Jiamu's care.This letter not only entrusted Lin Daiyu's life to Jiamu, but also entrusted the Lin family's property to Jiamu.

A smart person like Lin Ruhai really doesn't know the tricks in Jia's mansion, does he really not know Jia's mother's selfishness?That is naturally impossible.It was really helpless for Lin Ruhai to make such a decision, because in Lin Ruhai's opinion at that time, Lin Daiyu had no one to trust to, only Jia Mu, the grandmother.Even though the Jia family is unreliable, Lin Daiyu has lived in Jia's mansion for nearly ten years. It is definitely impossible for Jia's mansion to let go and make Lin Daiyu marry outside.

What's more, Lin Ruhai was in a hurry and was seriously ill, so he couldn't make a hasty marriage proposal to Lin Daiyu.Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, it can only be decided in this way.

However, Lin Jian had read the dossiers and correspondence of Lin Ruhai when he was an official. Those documents clearly outlined Lin Ruhai's social circle. He is even more self-conscious, dealing with the forces of salt merchants and four kings and eight princes, trying to balance the relationship between various forces, and then doing his best to run errands for Emperor Chengsheng.

Lin Jian thought, after all, the Lin family was late in repaying their favor.If he had come to the door earlier, it probably wouldn't have left Lin Ruhai with no one to trust.

Thinking of this, Lin Jian thought about the temperament of Lin Hong and Lin Ruhai, and felt that his hypothesis was impossible to hold.How could it be possible for these two people who are the most honest officials to get along because of their personal relationship?Obviously these two people are the ones who understand Emperor Chengsheng's thoughts best.They have every civil and military skills, and they should avoid suspicion most.

He looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled slightly, praised her for being very right, and then chatted a few gossips with Lin Daiyu, and told Lin Daiyu to rest earlier, he left Lin Daiyu's room and took Qian Ying to his own room Talk to go.
