[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

Seeing the group of servants running away as if fleeing for their lives, Yinzhen was furious and stared at the sixth younger brother, but his heart was softened by the smile on the other side, and he touched his cheek helplessly, "Forget it, just I’m left with you, I already know the general details, let’s talk about the details.”

The servants behind Yinzhen once again held their breath, their faces were serious, and they didn't dare to laugh, and said in their hearts, "The fourth elder brother is a good one when he meets the sixth elder brother. Anyone who causes minor troubles will go to the sixth elder brother." That's enough to run, but the sixth elder brother doesn't live in the palace now, it seems that the skin should be tighter.And yesterday, after returning to the palace, the expression on his face was horrific. After returning from the Qianqing Palace, his expression was even more horrifying, as if he was about to kill someone. He didn't fall asleep all night, and he didn't know what happened? '

"Fourth Brother, what homework did Master Wen Qi assign while I was away?" Xiao Liu naturally held Fourth Brother's wrist, walked to the study, and said as he walked, "Fourth Brother, don't be angry, I'll have breakfast with you." It is used, but it was prepared by Jia Baoyu."

"Huh? The second grandson of Jia's Second Household? As I said, irrelevant people can't get close to you. No wonder those servants can run faster than rabbits." Yin Zhen pursed his lips, and held the sixth younger brother with his backhand Holding him tightly in his palm, he asked, "And then? Did he offend you again?"

Xiao Liu shook his fourth brother's hand with a smile, "How can he? He's just an idiot. He said that daughters are better than men, that fame and fortune are really tiring, and that scholars are pedantic. He is also sincere to me. I sincerely apologized, saying that when I first saw me, I was completely dumbfounded, and I felt like a dream before me, and I only knew what to say. I also said that he hadn’t committed this problem for many years, since he was seven years old. At the beginning, Mama Yunzhen kept telling me about it day and night, and my bad habits have changed a lot. By the way, I asked me if I had jade, and I said no, and he was not happy again. He also said a lot of allusions, which was very funny Yes, for example, when a scholar met a soldier, he couldn’t explain how polite he was, but I discovered that it might be something the scholar said, and the soldiers couldn’t understand what caused the entanglement. This kind of idea is so innovative and fun.”

After Yinzhen listened to the sixth brother's detailed explanation, he pondered for a while, "A scholar meets a soldier? Well, he is also a person with aura, but it is a pity that he is not doing his job properly. But what he said is also reasonable. Huang Ama needs to read it every day. There are so many memorials, but none of them are real. Most of them are rhetoric, rhetoric, and meaningless. If it were changed to only a few sentences, Huang Ama would approve it until midnight .”

Xiao Liu nodded, "Tell the prince brother, if he says it, he will be obedient and filial. By the way, Baoyu brought two other female relatives. One is beautiful and elegant; the other is delicate and extraordinary." , very charming. But there seems to be a strange feeling between the three of them. If Baoyu doesn't speak, I can see that the two women are very nice, but if he speaks, he will be very awkward, and he will say something about me If you don't understand."

"Huh?" Yinzhen nodded after thinking for a while, "This is not easy to handle. The inherited rules cannot be changed just by changing them. Those courtiers suddenly asked them to tell the truth. If you are in a state of fear, or can’t write a single word, it’s okay to ask the second brother to find out. I’ve seen the sick beauty you mentioned once, and she was investigated by someone, but she is deeply trapped in the land of tigers and wolves, but she doesn’t know it.”

Xiao Liu rolled his eyes and said mockingly, "Hey, fourth brother also thinks she is beautiful? Oh, fourth brother, in a few years you will marry Fujin, and you will definitely marry a very beautiful one. However, I feel that a beautiful word alone is not enough to describe her, and fourth brother, what do you mean by the last sentence?"

"Sixth brother, how did you learn the bastard frivolity?" Yin Zhen peeked at the sixth brother with a red face, moved his lips, swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, and straightened Xiao Liu's shoulder , but he kept being squeezed, and his arms were tightly held, and he could look at a pair of bright black agate ball-like eyes as long as he turned his face slightly. The breath was also scorching hot, so he held his breath, not daring to blow it on Sixth Brother's face.

It took a long time before he replied: "Well, one is the daughter of the imperial merchant's Xue family named Xue Baochai, isn't she? She is a candidate for this year's draft, but she was dismissed because she committed crimes for her family and killed someone. I don't know how to repent. , Buying through the government office. This person has been recorded, and Huang Ama thought about it before suppressing it. Adding your current affairs, Huang Ama is even more embarrassing."

Glancing at the sixth younger brother, he moved away quickly, and said quickly, "The other is Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi, Lin Ruhai's daughter. In 17 years, Lin Ruhai was appointed by Huang Ama as Xunyan Yushi with high hopes , on behalf of the imperial court to supervise and rectify the extremely chaotic salt industry in Yangzhou, where the salt merchants and water transport colluded with each other, sold private salt, hoarded it, disregarded the law, and made a lot of ill-gotten wealth. But Huang Ama is trying to control the Yellow River Changing the route and relocating the money of the people in the Yellow River Basin, I was exhausted and worried, and I couldn’t sleep all night. But in the end, this so-called upright official had a negative reputation. Huang Ama sighed for him for a long time, and only said:

"My upright officials are powerful, but the salt merchants who pulled them down are even more powerful. It's sad, deplorable, hateful, irritating, damn it, damn it, damn it..."

After receiving a report, Lin Ruhai died of a serious illness the year before, and his first wife, Jia Shi, had passed away for 18 years, and the only remaining member of the Lin family was this frail and sickly daughter.

Although Huang Ama was chilled, seeing that Lin Ruhai's ancestor had once attacked Liehou, after he was the founding father of the country, he also sent a special person to investigate the cause of death.Unexpectedly, the more they searched, the deeper they dug, the more frightened they became. Not counting the belongings, there were more than two million taels of silver brought back to Jia's mansion.Sixth brother, do you know how much is in the national treasury?It's only three hundred and eight hundred thousand taels.

The four surnamed families in the capital all had close contacts with him, and what happened here might just be a layer of floating smoke.Up to Huang Ama's generation, they were indeed not as respectful and law-abiding as the first generation. Their power was intertwined, their branches flourished, they exploited the people, killed people, corrupted the law, and a few strings of copper coins could kill a person. "

Talking about the heartache, Yinzhen finally calmed down his previous thoughts, touched the sad face of the sixth brother, closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Fourth brother, I am willing to devote myself to the Qing Dynasty, and I will die after I die." , I would like to assist Mingjun, do practical things, and set up ministers."

"Fourth brother..." Yinzhen raised his eyes to look at the sixth brother when he heard the soft call, and immediately panicked, coaxing, "Fourth brother is wrong, I shouldn't have said this to you, don't cry, don't cry."Xiao Liu buried his face in the fourth brother's chest and choked up, "Fourth brother can do whatever he wants, let's go together, and I'll accompany you."

"Don't be like this, this road is too difficult, even the courtiers can't do it, let alone the prince, let alone these." Yin Zhen kept patting the back of the sixth younger brother, thinking of a way at a loss, and finally Squeeze out a sentence, "Sixth brother, from what you said, the woman from the Lin family is a proud but lonely woman, a pitiful person raised in a boudoir who knows nothing about it. No matter when the court pursues it, just say If it wasn't for us last time, she might have been murdered to death without anyone noticing in a few years, and those who think they are smart may be complacent about swallowing up the money, hmph. If she can only us In the future, I will go to court to be a witness, and maybe I can point her to a safe path."

"Fourth brother, now that I'm in Jia's mansion, I won't let anyone harm her." Xiao Liu, who felt that he was finally useful, no longer shed tears, held fourth brother's hand tightly, and nodded firmly.Yinzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat from his palms, and softly persuaded, "I haven't seen you cry for many years, I really can't bear it, I can't cry again next time."

Just as the two brothers continued walking and talking, they ran into a 15-year-old elder brother who was married to Fujin and lived outside the palace.Walking is very chic and suave, full of ambition.With the five-year-old Xiao Ba, a large group of eunuchs followed behind.
