[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Qian Ying followed Lin Jian back into the house. Qian Ying stepped forward to untie Lin Jian's cloak, but Lin Jian waved his hand to indicate no need. He took off the cloak and hung it on the hanger beside him.

"Tomorrow the Metropolitan Yamen will open seals one after another, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will continue to handle business as usual,"

Lin Jian said, "Since the incident before us has happened, let's pull out Jia Yucun's file. The supervisory censor of Jiangnan Road can come forward to impeach him. Next, Jia Zheng and others will be involved, and the trial will continue as usual. There are all evidences in the case, so we don’t need to bother too much now, we just need to keep an eye on it as usual.”

Qian Ying nodded in agreement, and then said: "Young Master, during the incident of Prince Rui's rebellion, Jia Zheng made false claims in front of Feng Ziying, bought time for the smooth progress of the matter, and also prevented our plan from being seen through by the First Prince and Feng Ziying. It's a credit. But when his family was involved in the rebellion of the eldest prince, the Holy One didn't reward or punish him, so it passed."

"The king of Kuang Beijing and the Jia family have always been on good terms. Everyone in the city has always respected Jia Zheng. For the matter of New Year's Eve, he often spoke well of Jia Zheng in front of the Holy Majesty. The young master revealed the matter of Jia Yucun. , the matter involves Jia Zheng, will the King of Beijing take this opportunity to save Jia Zheng?"

Lin Jian poured himself a cup of hot tea, then walked to the desk, flipped through the books he had read before, and then went into the inner room to arrange/fiddle with the books in the small study.

Qian Ying didn't follow, and after a while, she heard Lin Jian talking with a soft laugh.

"The Xue family is an imperial merchant with the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It has been buying things for the palace for some years. In the past three dynasties, the Xue family is not as expensive as the four kings and eight princes who have made great contributions to the founding of the country, and it is not as expensive as the scholarly family of the imperial examination. Their family The most important thing is money. It is an out-and-out wealthy family. After Xue Pan's father passed away, he was a dandy and only son who was not good at running the business. The family was rich, but the income of the family was not as good as in previous years. Without the help of Jia's family, their family The downfall will be faster."

"When I went to Yangzhou to thoroughly investigate the case of salt deficit, I hurt the Xue family's interests in Yangzhou. Do you know how much Xue's income from the Yangzhou salt department and Yangzhou salt merchants is? 5 taels a year. Income."

Lin Jian was picking books inside, and asked Qian Ying to come in to help him organize them, "Qian Ying, I was not in the mansion a few years ago, and you just followed Uncle Wu to protect the house. I have never been in contact with foreign affairs. Later, I asked Uncle Wu to I will leave you, and let you bring a few people under my command to work with me. Now that you have some experience, you also know what the 5 taels of silver mean. I cut off their money, and let the Wang family completely lose power. Don't you Forgot, Xue Pan's mother is the daughter of the Wang family, I broke up his ancestral home and made him lose so much money, with Xue Pan's temperament, why didn't he deal with me at that time?"

"At that time, I protected Miss Lin late at night, and sent Miss Lin to Gusu. In the eyes of the world, is Miss Lin not important to my Lin family?"

Lin Jian put the stack of books in Qian Ying's arms into Qian Ying's arms, and motioned Qian Ying to carry them out, "No matter how bastard Xue Pan is, he would not dare to offend the Lin family. This time, someone chewed his tongue in front of his ears. Gossip encouraged him. Otherwise, how dare he do this?"

Qian Ying was blessed at that moment, she stopped suddenly and was about to say the answer that was on her lips, but Lin Jian smiled and made a silence gesture: "You said that Shui Rong wants to protect Jia Zheng, if he has the ability to protect Jia Zheng Naturally, let him go. How to deal with Jia Zheng, His Majesty has his own decision. What's more, the previous acts of resoluteness, unreasonable and lenient with evidence, will chill the hearts of all law-abiding officials. Now people's hearts The back is the most important thing, after the turmoil, the Holy Majesty still requires stability."

Lin Jian himself carried a stack of books and followed Qian Ying out. He motioned Qian Ying to put the books on the table, and then put the stack of books in his hand on the table, and then put his hands on the table. After patting on the top book, he squinted his eyes and smiled, "Besides, how do you know that Shui Rong's move is not abandoning the pawn to save the car?"

Qian Ying thought about it for a long time before asking Lin Jian if it was Xue Pan, the pawn, Jia Zheng or the car. Lin Jian had already sat down and looked through the books.

Left and right Lin Jian has already made a decision, and Shui Rong's thoughts appear and disappear like looking at flowers in a fog. Qian Ying himself can't figure it out, but he thinks his young master must see it clearly, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

Qian Ying thought of another matter that she had inadvertently inquired about, so she said in a deep voice: "Master, there are already rumors that you are the mastermind behind the matter of the eldest prince, in order to eliminate dissidents for His Royal Highness, Not only did you use the Holy Majesty, but you also lured the Eldest Prince into rebellion, you want to dominate the court and one family, you want to get rid of the founding meritorious service, and let the Lin family dominate the army."

Lin Jian put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Qian Ying with a casual smile, "Didn't you just say that before Miss Lin? I heard it, why are you saying it again now?"

Qian Ying was anxious in her heart, Lin Jian had already arranged everything before Miss Lin's matter came out, and there was no need to worry about everything.But when things came to an end, it was Lin Jian's turn, but Lin Jian ignored the messages from the outside world and did not control them. Qian Ying could almost predict that if things continued like this, within half a month, rumors like this in Duzhong would be rampant and the city would be full of storms. There was a lot of buzz.

Qian Ying couldn't even help feeling that Lin Jian deliberately didn't control such rumors, just to let his rumors overshadow Lin Daiyu's. The light, the wind and the moon are talented and strong.

For Qian Ying's thoughts, Lin Jian just laughed it off, but felt that he was thinking too much.

Lin Jian sorted through the books he had read on the desk, sorted out two stacks of books, and carried them back to the small study with Qian Ying.

As soon as the books were put away, Xiao Chen came in from the outside.

"Master, someone from the Prince's Mansion has been sent over."

Xiao Chen said, "His Royal Highness would like to ask the young master about Miss Lin, what can His Highness do for help?"

Lin Jian raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness is well aware of my temperament. Anyone who touches me, I have my own way to retaliate. I will not swallow this breath for nothing, let alone ask others to help. If I really want to help, I will do it myself." He opened his mouth. Why does His Royal Highness need to send someone over to inquire?"

Xiao Chen was stared at by Lin Jian for a long while, but finally couldn't bear Lin Jian's scrutiny, and said truthfully: "The person who came is indeed from the Prince's House. But these words were not said by His Royal Highness, the subordinates asked repeatedly Yes, it was Princess Yuanjia who was afraid that Miss Lin would suffer if this matter spread, so she entrusted the people from the Prince's Mansion to ask. Because she was afraid that the young master would misunderstand, and that the young master would not agree, she said it was what the prince said. .”

Xiao Chen said that not only Princess Yuanjia was afraid of Miss Lin's loss, but His Highness the Crown Princess was also afraid that Miss Lin would be affected by it, and was willing to help, but His Royal Highness always knew Lin Jian's character and knew that Lin Jian must have his own arrangements for this matter. That's why I didn't get involved in this matter.

After hearing this, Lin Jian lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked Qian Ying: "Last time, you said that on the day of the coronation ceremony, Princess Yuanjia had talked with Miss Lin, and Miss Lin seemed to have a good conversation with her?"

Qian Ying nodded: "That's right. The subordinates don't know what Miss Lin said to Princess Yuanjia, but they did talk when they were together."

Lin Jian lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, but he didn't know what he thought of. He smiled silently, then raised his eyes to Xiao Chen and said, "I don't make a decision on this matter. The person sent by His Royal Highness, you first Let him go back. When Miss Lin gets up tomorrow, you can tell her what Princess Yuanjia and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess mean, and let Miss Lin make up her mind, and there is no need to come back to me about this matter."

Xiao Chen didn't turn the corner all of a sudden, so he couldn't help but asked Lin Jian: "His Royal Highness sent someone to ask the young master, why did the young master push it back to Miss Lin? Miss Lin is weak, and the young master always cherishes it. Why don't you take over this matter for Miss Lin?"

Lin Jian just smiled and said nothing.

Qian Ying couldn't help but tapped Xiao Chen's forehead, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness has calmed down, but the young master still wants to avoid suspicion now. It is the young master who loves Miss Lin, so it is time to avoid suspicion now. Your Highness It is inconvenient for the young master to refuse such a kind intention, and it is the most appropriate arrangement to let Miss Lin know and ask Miss Lin to make a choice."

Lin Jian glanced at Qian Ying with a smile, and then said to Xiao Chen: "Miss Lin will be my wife in the future, the dignified wife of the Southern Anhui Marquis Mansion. The Deputy Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the wife of the Prince Shaofu. You If you think about it carefully, you will know that with her status, not to mention the future, but now, how many pairs of eyes are staring at her? The attitude of the master and his wife, as well as my attitude, all show that Miss Lin is from the Lin family. He is outstanding in talent and appearance, and Duke Lin is a highly valued minister by the Holy Majesty, so far he has a literary name outside, and he is the mainstay of the civil servants."

"Whether it's Miss Lin herself or Duke Lin's bereavement, Princess Yuanjia and His Highness the Crown Princess have expressed their willingness to befriend her. She was trapped in the Rongguo Mansion before, and she couldn't get in touch with these things. She has outstanding talents and good looks. , people also have different ideas, and they may not really make friends with each other. Miss Lin has no reliance, and she can't interact with her on an equal footing. Now that I support her, she will be famous outside, and she should have a few friends with similar interests. Even if she can't make friends Seeing like-minded good friends, as the future wife of the Hou Mansion, she will have to deal with all these social interactions by herself."

Lin Jian reached out and pressed his chest. He kept the medicine bag given by Lin Daiyu day and night. Smelling the faint fragrance of the medicine in his clothes, Lin Jian's eyebrows were gentle and his eyes were tender. "Of course I love her very much, but I don't want her to come back again." Live the life like before. She is such an intelligent girl, she should have a healthy body, and then have a group of sincere friends. She can freely show her outstanding talents in the world, and everything else , with me here, she doesn't need to care."

From the first time he saw Lin Daiyu in Rongguo Mansion, he had always thought so in his heart.
