A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

The old lady had a guess in her heart, and immediately acted. While asking people to inquire about the news of the fourth elder brother's house, she quickly wrote a letter and sent it to her son urgently.

In the dream world, she saw that it was the fourth elder brother who finally ascended to the throne, but she didn't know about the fourth elder brother's backyard, but now seeing the situation in the fourth elder brother's house, this year is the year of the draft, and the palace should give the fourth elder brother Pointing at people, so Concubine De has met many people, but she also has a son, and she dotes on the younger son more than the eldest son.

The fourteenth elder brother is going to get married this year, and his Fujin must be a beautiful daughter of noble birth. This has nothing to do with her two granddaughters, but there is no guarantee that the concubine De will no longer refer to the good-looking beautiful daughter to the fourteenth elder brother on the house.

That is to say, if Concubine De takes a fancy to him, it is possible to go to the fourth elder brother's house, and it is also possible to go to the fourteenth elder brother. It turns out that he has already married a wife and is still young, so it is the least likely that Concubine De will take the initiative to put people in his backyard.

She can't decide what the master in the palace thinks outside the palace, but she won't do nothing.

If you can't make a decision, it's okay to affect one or two.

Although the old lady hadn't thought about this possibility before, but if she had a choice, there is no doubt that she would choose the fourth elder brother among the two brothers.

If the granddaughter goes to the fourth elder brother's house and gives birth to an heir, regardless of gender, the Lin family will become very stable after the fourth elder brother ascends the throne.

There is no doubt that the emperor's harem is a complicated place, but it is also a way to reach the sky in one step.

Not to mention anything else, just say that if you really enter the backyard of the fourth elder brother and give birth to a daughter, then you will be a princess, and if you give birth to a son, you will not fight for the supreme throne. Baylor's sons have had no worries about food and clothing for several generations. As long as they don't commit those serious crimes that require beheading, they basically come to the world to enjoy.

As the natal family of the prince and princess, the Lin family can also rise with the tide.

However, the risk will also increase. If one accidentally gets involved in some calculations, or seizes the heir, it is not uncommon for the entire family to be destroyed.

So now the old lady is a little thankful that she can't decide where her granddaughter will go.

Otherwise, she can't guarantee what she will do.

Will the granddaughter fight for the possible future of the Lin family?

The only thing she and her son can do now is to increase the bargaining chips of the two granddaughters. If they are really selected, let the granddaughters go to the backyard of the fourth elder brother as much as possible.

The backyard of the fourteenth elder brother is not to say that all the surnames are Manchu, and it is almost the same. Going there, it is better to go to the backyard of the fourth elder brother.

I hope that my son will finish the errand this time, the emperor will definitely see it, and he is willing to give them a grace...

Lin Ruhai received the urgent letter sent by his servants. After reading it, his brows were frowned, and his eyes were solemn.

During this imperial envoy trip, he had contact with several elder brothers one after another, namely the fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother.

However, there are not many things about Seizing the Inheritance. One is that his trip is under the nose of the Holy Master. Those elder brothers will never want the Holy Master to see what they are doing in private.

The other one is that they are princes after all, and they won't be so eager to win over the people below.

Who is the concubine De concubine calling for?

She has the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother under her knees. Among the two, the fourth elder brother is the one who assists him. At least Lin Ruhai has no intention of seeing him end. He is ruthless and selfless. It is said that he is a complete princeling. If someone on the prince's side makes mistakes, he will treat them equally.

Brother Fourteen is still young, but he has also heard rumors about him. He is the youngest son of Empress Defei. Among the two sons, Empress Defei dotes on him more. The concubine has daughters who have seen several families, all of whom are rich.

And the one who came in before the Fujin was Shu Shujue Luo, who had given birth to a son last year.

From this point of view, if Concubine De wants to point out the fourteenth elder brother's backyard, it is likely to be a Manchu surname.

On the contrary, there are not many Manchu surnames on the fourth elder brother's side, and there is no other family that can be sold except Fujin.

If it is accused of going there, it is between Ge Ge and Chu Fujin.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai quickly made a decision in his heart.

He was already finishing up, and now he can return to Beijing to report on his work.

So Lin Ruhai came back in a hurry, and immediately went to the palace to return to his order.

The Lin family returned later.

He has lost a lot of weight, his face has a weathered look, and he looks a few years older than before, obviously he has been away from Beijing for less than a year.

Seeing him like this, the old lady felt distressed, "Could it be that this time I went on an errand to the bitter cold place in the far north, why is it so exhausting?"

Lin Ruhai just smiled and said nothing.

Where he went is also a secret.

Seeing this, the old lady stopped asking, and told him to go back and rest quickly, and speak slowly when he had something to say.

There were three aunts and an outside study. Lin Ruhai went directly to Yun Shuyao's courtyard, washed and had a meal, and then fell asleep.

When he first entered the door, Yun Shuyao noticed the redness in his eyes, he had cried.

Crying in the palace?

But he didn't look sad, so he cried with Kangxi provocatively in the palace hall?

Yun Shuyao had some guesses and didn't bother him, letting him have a good sleep.

When he woke up, there was already warm water and hot porridge waiting for him to enjoy.

Lin Ruhai was not in a hurry, and ate his meal in a leisurely manner.

Yun Shuyao: "Master, is the errand finished? The next transfer order..."

Lin Ruhai: "The errands are over, don't worry, let's take a look in Beijing first."

Yun Shuyao stopped asking this question: "Is there any news from the palace? Are Luo Yu and the others all right in the palace?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head silently, "No news is the best news, let's wait for the results of the re-election." He didn't know what the final result would be.

What can be done he has done.

Yun Shuyao sighed, although she had already made psychological preparations to face the imperial power in the feudal society, but seeing her daughter's uncertain future, she felt that her mental preparation was still a bit insufficient.

In the final analysis, she is still not strong enough.

She wanted a strong mood, and she became more urgent.

"Master, you've worked hard, did you go well this time?"

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly: "It's not hard." He chose to avoid talking about the latter question.

Seeing this, Yun Shuyao changed the subject and told him about the big and small things that happened at home when he was away.

Although he should know everything, he may not be very clear about some details.

After finishing speaking, he went to the outer study and called Chen Yu over.

Regarding the son's previous distress, the letter has already stated very clearly, but it is not enough.

Lin Ruhai still wanted to hear his son tell the story from beginning to end.

As she said that, Chen Yu keenly discovered something, "Father, sister and the others are drafting in the palace, what happened?"

Lin Ruhai felt a little relieved when he saw his son. He had started to grow up, but these things in the palace were still too early for him.

And it's useless for him to know, their hands can't reach the palace yet.

Chenyu could see that his father didn't want to say: "Father, I would have known about something earlier, and if I had one more person to figure out a solution earlier, even if I couldn't help, I can share the burden if I feel depressed."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Lin Ruhai gave up helplessly, and it's okay to tell him, if the engagement is early, he will also have a family.

So Chenyu learned about the fact that the two sisters who participated in the draft in the palace were summoned by the concubine De.

His brain turned quickly, the concubine de concubine had the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and there was a thirteenth elder brother below.

"It shouldn't be the fourteenth elder brother. He is going to marry the first Fujin this year, and he also refers to other people to go in. It's a bit too face-slapping. The fourteenth elder brother already has a side Fujin. With the love of the concubine Defei to the fourteenth elder brother , she probably doesn't want to see that the husband and wife have knots in their hearts from the very beginning." The main reason is that it is not easy to have grandchildren with knots.

The Holy One cares about the concubines, and they also care about the concubines.

Chen Yu didn't know much about the situation with Brother Thirteen.

He only knows that the thirteenth elder brother is both civil and military, and he is already married, but he doesn't know the situation in the backyard and his children.

Only this year is the thirteenth elder brother. As long as the backyard is not empty, he should not point anyone in.

"Mostly it is the fourth elder brother. There are not many people in his backyard. Excluding the dead ones, there are only two sons. One of them is not yet a year old. I don't know if he can raise it. There is only one daughter. The fourth elder brother is already 26."

At this age, it can no longer be said that he is young, and the number of children is indeed not many.

It's okay when they don't know, but after knowing, Chenyu also started to worry, there is really nothing they can do about this matter outside the palace.

He became a little anxious.

If the sisters marry other people, as a brother-in-law, he is confident to protect them and prevent them from being bullied by their in-laws, but if they enter the royal family, which family would dare to treat the royal sons as ordinary son-in-laws?

Lin Ruhai knew this and didn't want to say it before.

Seeing his frowning, Lin Ruhai took an exam to make sure that he was not lazy during this time, "Show me the subject assigned by Mr. Xu."

Hearing his father's question, Chen Yu calmed down his mood: "Father, here, my son has a question..."

During the question and answer, time passed quickly.

Lin Ruhai left the outer study, leaving Chenyu to solve the problem, and went to his mother's place.

I had a conversation with Daiyu and had some snacks together.

Seeing Daiyu becoming more and more like her mother, Lin Ruhai felt a little emotional.

Daiyu: "Father, you have to take care of yourself."

She couldn't help asking: "Did you not eat and rest on time when you were on business abroad? What happened if your body broke down?"

Lin Ruhai looked at the concern and frankness in the younger daughter's eyes, and smiled: "Understood, I will have a good meal, Daiyu, have you listened carefully to Doctor Zhou's words?"

Daiyu raised her chin slightly: "Of course there are."

The old lady looked at the expression on her little granddaughter's face with a smile, and she was very satisfied: "Daiyu is a good obedient child..."

It wasn't until Daiyu went to take a rest at noon that the mother and son talked about the palace.

The old lady: "It was hard to say in the letter before, you have had contact with several princes, what do you think of them?"

There are three princes on the side of Concubine De, and he has contact with two princes this time.

Speaking of these princes, Lin Ruhai had to admire that the Holy Majesty not only gave birth, but all the princes he gave birth to were excellent. Comparing the appearance of his family with a weak blood, how could Lin Ruhai not sigh.

"Are you particularly close to any of these princes?"

Hearing her mother's question, Lin Ruhai remained calm on the surface, but became alert in her heart. The mother asked this question, does she want to stand in line?

But soon he was going to hear what his mother said next, "Do you think these three have the intention to compete?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head lightly, "Si elder brother can't tell, ninth elder brother has given up." If he hadn't given up, he wouldn't have spread his business reputation throughout the capital, indulged his disciples to compete for profit with the people, and wanted to be Your majesty, such a reputation is not enough, "He is on good terms with the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother follows behind the eldest elder brother."

"Brother Thirteen is outstanding both in civil and martial arts, but he is still young now." Lin Ruhai couldn't make a conclusion.

The old lady nodded. In fact, what she wanted to ask was only the fourth elder brother, but she couldn't ask that.

"How did you tell the emperor when you entered the palace yesterday?"

Lin Ruhai sighed, and talked about the things that happened to his son with the emperor in a tone that made fun of his bad luck. Fortunately, there was no accident, and the only seedling was still in good condition.

The emperor will definitely take care of it. From these words, he can know how much he attaches importance to his children. He also vaguely revealed that he does not want the children to have a good future, as long as they can live a good life safely. If you search suspiciously, you may be able to find out some news that he didn't find out.

It was about his only son, Lin Ruhai used all his connections to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, but none of them fit.

He didn't want to see another time, and the reason why he did this again was that he didn't go well as an imperial envoy this time. He vaguely felt that someone was targeting him, but it was the same as his son's situation.

Speaking of it, it can be classified as bad luck, but the successive bad luck is not a mere coincidence.

He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

The son is out of luck this time, and something may happen.

He was too, almost dead, but he wasn't going to scare his mother by saying it.

He still has the emperor's order to go out this time, even if some people dislike his Lin family, they will not pick this opportunity.

Combining these two matters, it is impossible for the emperor not to pay attention to them.

The old lady was silent for a long time, and even her son was in various troubles, "Let's go to the Huguo Temple again, or you will get sick." She just took this opportunity to show her loyalty.

They talked for a long time, until the servant girl came to remind them that the dinner party was about to start.

This is a small family feast, and the whole family, including my aunt, had a reunion dinner together.

Aunt Mei sent her resentful eyes from time to time at the banquet.

The master has been to so many places, why doesn't he come to her yard?

That night, Lin Ruhai fell ill.

He was sick, and no one in the family suspected it. From his appearance, it could be seen how hard his errands were this time, and it was not surprising to be sick.

Yun Shuyao didn't doubt that he was really sick and had a fever.

Due to his illness, his trip to visit people also ran aground. After the news of his illness spread, the emperor specially sent an imperial physician to see him.

There is no doubt that this represents the emperor's importance to him.

Therefore, the number of people who came to visit the doctor was much more than expected, and they were also more enthusiastic.

Originally, Jia Amnesty didn't want to move, he thought that such a matter should be left to the second brother, but the second brother didn't know what was going on, and he was not happy about it.

Coupled with the fact that his mother was wiping tears again, he had no choice but to pack himself up and come to visit his brother-in-law.

Seeing his emaciated appearance lying on the hospital bed, Jia She was taken aback, "You really suffered a lot on this business trip."

Although his brother-in-law still looks good-looking, the complexion on his face is quite different from before: "What does the doctor say?"

"It's just a little tired, just rest for a while."

Tired and sick?Jia Amnesty was very sympathetic, and my brother-in-law had worked too hard as an official.

Jia Lian saw that his uncle had lost so much weight, so he hurriedly asked about his health, and then asked if there was anything he could do to help. He was fine with some chores.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly: "Lian'er is polite, I'm fine."

When she went back and told what she saw, Mother Jia frowned slightly, "Is there any serious problem?"

"No."

"That's good." Mother Jia closed her eyes and sighed privately, "Let people pay more attention to the news of the Lin family, Lian'er, you go to your uncle's place more often, your cousin is still young and has not Get married, you help take care of some."

I don't know what position he will get this time?There are also two "granddaughters" in the palace, who don't know what their future will be, and her Yuanchun is still working as a female history under the hands of Concubine De... The more she thinks about it, the more frustrated Jia's mother becomes.

Jia Lian readily agreed.

Yun Shuyao also wants to know where Lin Ruhai will go next, but so far, she thinks this is the best way, if the transfer order comes down, she may have to go to another place.

The results of the draft have not yet come out, and the marriage of the daughters has not yet been decided.

If he wanted to leave, Lin Ruhai could only take up the post first.

It's a pity that she was imitating the amulet that Chen Yu brought back from Huguo Temple in her spare time.

I don't know if it's because of impetuous mood, or because of the different cultivation systems, even if she traced the pattern exactly the same and used the supernatural power, there was no progress.

Yun Shuyao didn't give up, she practiced every day, and she became a little more proficient every day. Although she learned the shape, she didn't learn the "meaning". If she is making progress, there is hope.

During this waiting, the decree came down.

The whole family of the Lin family changed their clothes, set up the incense table, and opened the middle door to welcome the will——
