[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

Tokyo is such a big place, the Xue family is not the only one who knows about the conflict between Daiyu and Princess Shangyang, I don't know which one in the palace released the news, now most of the rich and powerful families know about it.The direct impact of this is that the business of the Lin family has plummeted, and people who are officials and butchers can't avoid it. They have the same idea as the Xue family, for fear of being involved, but some ordinary people don't care about these things, and they are directed at the Lin family. The good character and good taste of the restaurant are still patronized.

Daiyu saw that the business in the store was not what it used to be, so she negotiated with her brother and sister-in-law to close the branch, leaving only the main store at home and Xiaojiang's store, so as to save some store rent.

However, Dong Niu disagreed: "At any rate, your brother and I are supporting the branch store. No matter how bad the business is, we can still pay the rent. This store is also the hard work of our family. If it is closed like this, outsiders will think that the Lin family is a If something happens, I'm afraid it will affect the business of the other two stores."

Lin Jin supported his wife's point of view: "Your sister-in-law is right, but there is no disturbance outside, and we are in a mess. Business is not good, we husband and wife should think of more ways. Closing the store is not a wise move, no It makes people think that our family is going to close down."

Daiyu was very relieved that her brother and sister-in-law still had a plan and were not intimidated by the temporary difficulties. The rumors outside were obviously released on purpose to embarrass the Lin family, but they just couldn't control other people's mouths. "Since you don't want to close it, then keep it open. Whether it's a profit or a loss, don't take it to heart, and don't quarrel about it. Anyway, after this period of time, when the court is peaceful, we will naturally be fine. "

Dong Niu's heart beat a little: "Do you think His Majesty can beat Princess Shangyang?"

"Your Majesty is not alone. All the civil and military ministers in the court are His Majesty's right-hand men. They will not sit back and watch a princess try to overthrow the Song Dynasty. So we don't have to worry, we just need to take care of the safety of the whole family. Let's talk about it." I won't be a princess anymore, our family won't go hungry, and with such good cooking skills, I won't be afraid anywhere."

Dong Niu: "Hearing what you said, I feel more at ease. During this period of time, my parents will be asked to go out less, and Yu'er will not go to school for the time being. I will just study at home."

"It's time to avoid the limelight, to prevent people outside from looking at our house and making trouble secretly, and be careful when sailing for thousands of years."

Uncle Crazy said he was crazy or not, he still knew to think about something, he wondered why Xue Baochai came to the house almost every day before, why didn't he come recently?He took advantage of Daiyu's time to drink tea and went up to him and asked, "Why hasn't that girl from the Xue family who was beaten up by the idiot come to see you these days? Did you offend her?"

Daiyu replied casually: "The legs are on her body. I don't care if she comes or not." Although Daiyu didn't seem to care about it on the surface, she had already guessed in her heart that the Xue family was probably from the outside world. Like people, they avoid the Lin family, for fear that they will get into trouble.But this is also good, to recognize Xue Baochai's true face earlier, so as not to pay the wrong person for his friendship, just like Shang Yang before, no matter how hard he tried, he would turn his face and deny him.

The insane uncle was still feeling emotional: "It's a pity that such a beautiful girl doesn't come, it's a pity..."

Daiyu asked puzzledly, "What's the pity?"

"You don't have a biological sister. If Miss Xue is easy to get along with, you can recognize a sister. Besides, if you don't want to be my daughter, maybe she will be willing to be my daughter. When the time comes, I will be taken care of by someone else!"

Daiyu felt that the crazy uncle was really crazy, and she was full of nonsense: "How dare you think that his biological father is an official, how could he be willing to be your daughter, wake up, stop daydreaming!"

"Then being an official is not a long-term job. Maybe one day I commit a crime and ransack my house. I'm not as good as me!"

"Talking to you is really annoying. In short, stop thinking about it. Stay at home. It's best not to go out. It's not peaceful outside recently. If you get into trouble, no one will clean up the mess for you." Daiyu was really worried about this. Uncle, he speaks without restraint, if he is really used by someone with a heart, the Lin family may not be able to eat and walk around.

The crazy uncle was still full of confidence: "Don't worry, your father will definitely clean up for me."

Daiyu was very speechless and didn't want to talk to him any more.

After dinner, Uncle Lin sat on the stone bench in the yard to enjoy the shade as usual, and Daiyu had something to tell him.

"Father, there aren't many things going on in the shop recently, so you can take this opportunity to take a break and don't need to help."

"I've been doing things all my life, and I can't stay idle. What are you doing if you don't work?"

"Our family is not peaceful now. When you are free, look at uncle more and tell him not to go out, let alone talk nonsense. I'm really afraid that he will come back one day in trouble."

Uncle Lin's eyebrows were all huddled together, and his face was full of sorrow: "Oh, Dad knows that this uncle is a trouble, but he refuses to go back to his hometown, and I can't do anything about him."

"Basic food, housing and transportation are nothing, our family can afford it, as long as he lives in peace and hangs out less. There are many people inside and outside the palace waiting to see my jokes, so we can only be more careful than usual."

"Father understands that from tomorrow onwards, I will only do one thing, watch him and not let him go out."

"I can rest assured that."

The midsummer is over and the golden autumn is here. The heat has subsided and it is much cooler.The business of the Lin family has not been slow recently, and the family court is not as lively as it used to be.Someone came from General Pingyuan's mansion, and Daiyu was invited to come to the mansion for a talk.

When Daiyu arrived, she found that the general had also invited Master Ouyang, Lu Qingzhou and Zhao Mingcheng.

General Ping Yuan sent away his relatives and subordinates before he spoke: "The guards I stayed with His Majesty sent word that Princess Shang Yang's belly is getting bigger day by day, she is not like an ordinary unmarried woman, I am afraid she is pregnant... ...This matter is related to the dignity of the royal family, and His Majesty is too young to understand these things, so I had to call everyone to discuss countermeasures."

Daiyu's head was buzzing, a boudoir woman who is unmarried and pregnant will be cast aside by thousands of people in this era, why is Shangyang so confused!

"Is this serious? Has the imperial physician seen it?" Daiyu asked.

"On the surface, Princess Shangyang has never seen an imperial physician, but secretly she doesn't know about it. If it is true, I'm afraid it will become a royal scandal, and your Majesty will lose all face."

Lord Ouyang sighed deeply: "You are a princess, how can you act so foolishly! But the most urgent thing is to confirm the truth of this matter, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."

Lu Qingzhou: "Master Ouyang said that, in my opinion, regardless of whether it is true or not, Zhao Jing can no longer stay by the princess's side. Ever since Zhao Jing returned to the palace, Princess Shangyang has become disorganized."

General Pingyuan said to Lu Qingzhou: "That's exactly what I mean. It's just that Zhao Jing used to be the leader of the secret guards, a first-class expert, and ordinary people may not be his opponents. That's why I invited you here and let you get rid of them secretly. he."

Lu Qingzhou: "Obey!"

Daiyu was a little worried: "Zhao Jing stayed in the palace all day, how could Qingzhou have a chance to attack?"

General Ping Yuan: "Don't worry about this, there is always a chance to lure him out of the palace, but before that, we can't reveal the news, lest he strengthen his guard and it will be difficult to deal with."

Zhao Mingcheng: "Then what about Princess Shangyang? We have to deal with Zhao Jing, how can she let it go?"

"His Majesty can only deal with Princess Shangyang. After all, she is a member of the royal family. We cannot touch her." Lord Ouyang said, "In addition, it is not certain whether she has a fetus in her womb, and we need to find an imperial doctor secretly to feel the pulse. .”

Daiyu: "My lord's concern is that this kind of matter involves the reputation of the princess, so it's better to do it quietly. If Shangyang just eats fat and shows his stomach, we will make a joke."

General Pingyuan: "These things have to be done in secret. I tell you today to let everyone know. The late emperor left behind the Great Song Dynasty, and it must be handed over to His Majesty safely."

Everyone understood what General Pingyuan meant, and they agreed to keep their mouths shut.

As General Pingyuan said, the best candidate to deal with Shang Yang is His Majesty. First, His Majesty is young, and Shang Yang has no defense against him; In Shang Yang's view, it is unlikely to harm her.

On this day, His Majesty hosted a banquet for several important officials and family members, and the banquet was organized by Princess Shangyang.During the banquet, General Pingyuan's wife observed that Shang Yang's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, but she couldn't judge whether she was pregnant with the naked eye.Before she came, General Pingyuan had instructed her to try her best to get Princess Shangyang drunk, and then took her to His Majesty's bedroom to rest, and then there would be an imperial physician to check her pulse.

Both His Majesty and General Yuan's wife knew that this was a situation, and Princess Shangyang was invited into the urn, and the others were just foils.

General Pingyuan's wife is also a general's tiger girl, she is bold and can drink no less than a man, because of her good reputation in Tokyo, all the officials and family members present toast to her.She just took advantage of the situation to evade: "If you want me to say, all the ladies should respect Princess Shangyang, today such a good banquet is all organized by the princess."

Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes." They turned around and went to toast Shang Yang.

Shang Yang didn't want to lose face to these famous ladies, so he had to drink them one by one.She doesn't drink well, and her face is flushed after a few drinks.General Pingyuan's wife still got up to toast: "Princess is virtuous, I admire her very much, and I offer three cups to princess in a row, wishing her a long life!" As soon as she finished speaking, General Pingyuan's wife drank three cups in a row. Don't take a breath.

Shang Yang felt that he couldn't lose face and let others laugh that she was not as good as an old woman, so he also accepted General Ping Yuan's wife's invitation for a drink, and forced himself to drink three glasses of wine.The wine was so strong that Shang Yang couldn't hold it anymore.

Although His Majesty is young, he can still drink a few glasses.He saw that Shang Yang was almost drunk by the general's wife, so he simply added another firewood. He raised his wine glass and bowed respectfully to his aunt: "To thank my aunt for her care over the years, I would like to present you with a glass of thin wine!"

Seeing His Majesty being so respectful, Shang Yang was very proud, thinking that all the officials and family members in the house should see that she is the most honorable woman in the world!She took the wine glass in His Majesty's hand and drank it all in one gulp. After a while, she became confused and wobbled a little.

Seeing this, His Majesty ordered the two close officials: "The princess is drunk, quickly take the princess back to the bedroom to rest." In order to avoid suspicion from everyone, he said to the officials and family members, "I will arrange my aunt first. Let’s have a drink with the wives again, please greet me with Mrs. General.”

General Pingyuan's wife: "I obey the order."

The internal officials had already received His Majesty's instructions, and directly helped the princess back to Fuyan Palace.In Fuyan Hall, three top imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have been waiting for a long time.

His Majesty dismissed all the palace people, leaving only the three imperial physicians and himself present.
