The Lady of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai has been working in Yangzhou for more than ten years in the history of patrolling salt and censorship. Not to mention the messy Jiangnan salt administration, Jiangnan even paid a full [-]% more salt tax than before during his tenure.

Emperor Mingxi's wallet was bulging, and he was in a good mood. He praised Lin Ruhai greatly, and wished he could put him under his nose and watch him generate money for the treasury day and night.

However, Lin Ruhai is a dead-headed person. Seeing his wife pass away, all thoughts are lost, and he gave up his ambitions when he was in his prime.Even if the emperor repeatedly tried to get promoted, Lin Ruhai just expressed his gratitude to Junen on the table, expressing that he was willing to continue to shine in the south of the Yangtze River, and would do anything for the holy Haiyan Heqing.

So when Emperor Mingxi received Lin Ruhai's memorial and learned of his intention to enter Beijing, he was amazed.After laughing and talking to Dai Quan about how Lin Ruhai changed his sex, he began to draw in his mind the official position in the imperial court, and it was bound to give him the most suitable vacancy.

It just so happened that Yun Zhengran was on the list of official officials in the court. Emperor Ming Xi glanced at the list and found that the Minister of the Ministry of Households was on the list, and felt that this position was especially suitable for Lin Ruhai who could make money.

With a wave of the pen, a batch of ink pens.With the emperor's will and the operation of Yun Zhengran, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the transfer letter was quickly approved, and Lin Ruhai could set off and take up his post in Beijing only after the edict was sent to the south of the Yangtze River.

During Lin Ruhai's one-month return to Beijing, the capital did not stop, and people from all walks of life continued to make small moves in order to fight for power and profit.

And this series of things has to start with Emperor Mingxi's decree to reprimand Jia's mansion.

After Mrs. Wang returned from Rongqingtang that day, no matter how she thought about it, she was unwilling, so she called a girl who knew how to read and write, dictated it, and asked Jin Chuan'er to take the letter to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

The royal rules are strict, and it is rare for Yuanchun to send a letter back to the government.The last time I greeted my grandmother and younger brother was before the Hongyun Tea incident.

Mrs. Wang thought that Yuan Chun was still favored by His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, and she wanted to take advantage of her to suppress the prestige of the big family.

After Mrs. Wang finished writing the letter, she sat on the couch full of expectations, tapping the smooth sandalwood table with her hands, thinking that she would see the arrogant Mrs. Xing defeated in a short time. I couldn't help laughing out.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly two hours, Jin Chuan'er came back in a hurry. Seeing Mrs. Wang's expectant look, she knelt down on the ground with a trembling "plop--".

Seeing Jin Chuan'er's body trembling like the wind, with panicked eyes, Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat, and a deep sense of ominousness began to spread in her heart: "What's the matter, can I bring the letter? What did Yuan Chun say?"

Jin Chuan'er knelt on the ground, staring at the floor with wide eyes, and her voice cautiously even carried a faint cry: "Madam, the servant has entered the sixth prince's mansion, and as soon as they heard that the servant is looking for the eldest aunt, they say, just say... ..."

Madam Wang looked at Jin Chuan'er's hesitation, feeling more and more uneasy. She patted the armrest and scolded sharply: "Why are you so flustered? What did that slave screwdriver tell you?"

Jin Chuan'er snatched the ground with her head, and a dull and choked voice came from under her body: "It is said that the eldest aunt bumped into Princess Huining a few days ago, so that the princess can't get up now. The imperial concubine is furious , and directly punished the elder aunt with the chopsticks. When the slaves left, the elder aunt was being tortured."

At the end, Jin Chuan'er cried louder and louder.Thinking of my aunt being pointed and ridiculed by so many people in full view, I couldn't help but feel distraught, wishing I could replace her with my own body.

Mrs. Wang's body was shaking, Zhou Rui's family hurried up to help her, and as soon as she approached, she heard Mrs. Wang's lips twitch, chanting: "Punishment with chopsticks, punishment with chopsticks..."

This is the criminal law for punishing maids of honor, the Sixth Prince and Concubine is very cruel.It's just that she offended Princess Huining and wanted her Yuan Chun to be insulted like this.

Jin Chuan'er fell on the ground, took a few breaths, and continued: "It's hard to meet my eldest aunt alone. Grandma heard about the servant's intention and asked the servant to tell the wife a few words."

Mrs. Wang straightened up supporting Zhou Rui's family's hand, and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? What is Yuan Chun's request?"

"My aunt said: tell your mother, you don't need to fight for a moment. Be sure to ask the master and wife to support Baoyu to become a talent, and the sister and brother will stay together for a long time."

Yuan Chun's words drifted into Mrs. Wang's ears word by word.Mrs. Wang stared straight ahead, her body softened as if her strength had been drained suddenly.Thinking of Yuan Chun's words, it was like being dazed.

After a while, Mrs. Wang suddenly came to her senses. After Yuan Chun's suggestion, her eyes cleared up a lot: "Yes, what Yuan'er said is true. Speaking of which, our family still has a place for supervising students. I will change it tomorrow. Go talk to the master. Yuan Chun is right, only Baoyu can protect her sister if she is promising."

Otherwise, how could her Yuan'er, the dignified lady of the government, be so humiliated by the sixth prince and concubine.

Mrs. Wang has indulged in doting on Baoyu for so many years, allowing him to hang out in the inner room.Now a series of blows have finally completely shattered Mrs. Wang's dream.

Mrs. Wang was not slow either, she immediately stood up holding Zhou Rui's family's hand, and hurriedly walked towards Meng Po Zhai: "No, before tomorrow, I have to go and talk to the master about this matter now."

If we wait any longer, I'm afraid this spot will be snatched by the big house.How could that be worthy of Yuan Chun's hard struggle in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and his eager anticipation.

The plum season is over, and summer will soon enter the capital.

Although the south wind in early summer is not hot and hot, but the thin waves of heat are wrapped in cicadas, making people bored and upset for no reason.

Yun Qing was slowly lying on the armchair under the shade of the tree, talking about the cold watermelon splashed with spring water countless times, her white and tender little fingers fiddled with the lotus leaves on her face, smelling the bitterness of the lotus leaves The aroma is full of displeasure.

Hearing Yun Qinghuan's soft complaints, Bai Lu smiled and put a cup of already warm mint tea on the small table: "My dear girl, Madam has repeatedly told me that you are still young, so you can't eat too much Bing. If you keep talking like this, the servants will feel ashamed."

Yun Qing replied lazily, and turned around, not really wanting to talk.

When Yun Qingyu came in, he saw his little sister lying withered under the tree, with a lotus leaf on her face, she suddenly found it interesting, and ran forward to uncover the lotus leaf, making a grimace.

Yun Qing slowly felt the sudden glaring light, opened her eyes unconsciously, and was startled by Yun Qingyu's exaggerated face in front of her.

With her face puffed up and her hips akimbo, Yun Qing slowly pointed at Yun Qingyu and said in a childish voice: "Second brother, return it to me quickly."

Yun Qingyu held up the emerald green lotus leaf, swayed it in front of Yun Qingxuan, raised his eyebrows, and put the lotus leaf in front of Yun Qingxuan, and when her hand was about to reach it, he immediately retracted: "Come on!" Sounds good, second brother, I will give it to you."

Yun Qingxuan looked at Yun Qingyu and sneered, put her feet down, and while waiting for Bai Shuang to put on her shoes, she said, "Bai Lu Bai Shuang, let's go, let's go and say hello to my aunt."

Yun Qing Yu is not afraid of the sky, not the earth, but his mother, Mrs. Zhen Guohou's wife Yuan Shi.Hearing this, he immediately wilted, and very carefully stretched out the big lotus leaf in front of Yun Qingxuan, bowing with both hands: "My good sister, I was wrong. Don't tell my mother, so, How about I take you for a ride tomorrow?"

"Horse riding?" Yun Qingxuan looked at Yun Qingyu suspiciously, and after confirming that he was not playing with her, she tilted her head and thought about it, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay. Seeing as you are so sincere Come on, I’ll forgive you this time. But I still have to bring Cousin Lin with me.”

Yun Qingyu was originally ordered to take Yun Qingxuan out to play.Seeing that she agreed, there is nothing else to say.With a wave of his little hand, he said boldly and honestly: "Yes. If you have any good sisters, call them together. Let's go to the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow to have a good time."

On the second day, Yun Qingxuan rode the carriage of Zhen Guohou's mansion to the gate of Jia's mansion.

In addition to Daiyu this time, she also invited Yingchun.Because he didn't want to stay longer in Jia's mansion, after visiting Jia's mother, he went out with the two of them.

Before leaving the mansion, Mother Jia took Yingchun and Daiyu's hands lovingly and told them not to be restrained, but to have fun.

Daiyu was fine. Yingchun, who had never received such attention from Jiamu, was flattered.He didn't even pay attention to Tanchun's jealous eyes, and after saying goodbye to his grandmother and mother, he left with the carriage of Zhen Guohou's mansion.

In the car, Yun Qing slowly looked at Yingchun with a smile, took out a small brocade box and held it in front of Yingchun: "Congratulations to sister Yingchun, and congratulations to sister on moving."

Inside the brocade box are two clear cat's-eye gemstones.Yingchun shy away with some embarrassment: "Sister Qingxu, you are too polite."

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and pushed Yingchun with a smile, her words were full of urging: "Slowly, this girl has a lot of good things. It's rare to be so generous. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Hurry up and pick it up." It's the right thing to do."

Yun Qinghuan also nodded, and couldn't let go of the hand holding the box: "Yes, sister Yingchun refused to accept it. Could it be that this gift is too light?"

Being teased by the two sisters together, Yingchun blushed slightly.Taking the brocade box in Yun Qingxu's hand with both hands, she whispered: "Thank you, sister Qingxu."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help laughing again.

Daiyu also took out a purse embroidered with piglets, and handed it to Yun Qinghu: "Here, the purse you asked me to make last night was finished last night. See if you like it."

Yun Qingxuan took the purse and looked at it over and over by the light coming in from the car window, fondling the naive little chubby piggy on it, feeling that her heart would be melted by that little piggy: "I like it, Sister Lin Your craft is really good."

Lin Daiyu lowered her head and smiled reservedly, obviously very happy that what she made was recognized by others: "If you like it slowly, I will make another one for you."

Yun Qing waved his hand slowly, and couldn't help but touch the chubby body of the little pig: "Don't, if you hurt sister Lin's eyes, let A Niang know and you have to blame me again."

Lin Daiyu likes this cousin very much, and wants to give her the best in everything. Hearing this, she covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not too much trouble. If you are idle, you are also idle. If you have nothing to do, you can do needlework, and you can pass the time."

Yingchun listened and nodded in agreement: "No. I've been busy at home recently, and no one plays chess with me. It's so boring. It's just a pity that I made a few good poems specially yesterday. Why don't I go back to Lin How about helping me, girl?"

Lin Daiyu is quite talented and has always been tireless in teaching. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for her, so she immediately agreed: "Okay."

Yun Qing looked at Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun in admiration: Sure enough, women in ancient times were different.I think when she was so old, let alone piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even the characters she knew were only at the average level of first-grade children.

If you want to integrate into the ancient times, you still have to work harder.

Just finished thinking here, and heard Lin Daiyu say to herself with great interest: "Slow down, last time I went to Zhen Guohou's Mansion, I saw that there is a lotus pond in your courtyard. It is now summer, and the lotus leaves in the sky , The lotus flower reflecting the sun is also very elegant and interesting. How about we write a poem about this situation next time?"

Lin Daiyu didn't know that Yun Qingxuan had changed her mind, and thought that she was just like the ancient boudoir lady, not only speaking out of the mouth, but also fighting neatly, so she proposed it enthusiastically.

The corners of Yun Qinghu's mouth twitched, seeing Lin Daiyu's expression of interest, and it was not easy to hit her, so he could only foolishly said: "Let's talk, let's talk."

Fearing that Lin Daiyu would be obsessed with this matter, Yun Qing quickly changed the topic and distracted the two of them.

Seeing that Daiyu and Yingchun successfully started discussing about horseback riding later, Yun Qinghe let out a long sigh of relief.

Lianshi, are you kidding me?Music, chess, calligraphy and painting may be able to save a little bit, but things like poetry, let's wait for the next life.
