The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 58

Whether the Zhen family's attack on the Lin family is true or not, it cannot be put on paper, at least what can be revealed on the paper is only the small actions of Mrs. Wang written in the Lin family's letter.

Anyway, after receiving the letter from the Lin family, no matter what investigations Aunt Xue did later, at least on the surface she just collected the letter and things calmly, then changed hands and sent a letter to her elder brother Wang Ziteng—when Mrs. Wang was doing this. It may not have been said to Wang Ziteng, if not, it is not a good thing for the Lin family to alienate the Wang family and Wang Ziteng knows nothing about it.

I won’t show Wang Ziteng’s reaction for the time being. Even if Wang Ziteng treats his concubine sister, Aunt Xue, he may not be as affectionate as his direct sister, Mrs. Wang, but he is still a member of the family. Aunt Xue just fulfilled her obligation to inform.

And these actions of the Xue family did not mean to be carried out quietly without the knowledge of others, after all, the people sent by the Holy Spirit are still living in the guest room of the Xue family, so the correspondence between the Xue family and the Lin family naturally cannot be hidden from others.Fortunately, there was nothing shameful about this matter, so Aunt Xue simply became open-minded. Even if the Xue family is currently working as a spy, it does not mean that the Xue family is completely fine other than that. It is not surprising that outsiders communicate normally.

Although Lin Ruhai became a prostitute when he was young, and later became a prosperous official career, his career was inevitably delayed by observing filial piety for several years. In fact, it was the time when Xue Pan's father was about to pass away when the Lin family officially became an official in the south of the Yangtze River.In other words, the Lin and Xue families have never broken their friendship, and that has nothing to do with the smooth official career of the Lin family in Jiangnan over the years.

After all, after Xue Pan's father passed away, although the Holy Majesty broke the Xue family's eyeliner, he also took advantage of the situation to strengthen his other dark lines on the Jiangnan side, and he was not afraid that the Xue family deliberately concealed anything, even this time he would use both methods more , did not completely rely on the Xue family's news.

The Zhen family has done a lot of things, among them, the secrets among the big families are not too many that the Xue family can find out in a short time.But fortunately, with the dignity of the Xue family, it is not difficult to ask about the major events that have happened in each family recently. Just assume that what happened in each family is related to the Zhen family, and then write similar stories about the offshoot of the Zhen family or the slaves in the house. The deeds, plus some unimportant rumors and deeds, sorted out and asked Xue Pan to copy a copy and hand it over.

If the Holy One is suspicious, then you can find many clues that the Xue family can't find if you just follow the matter down. Severe crimes will not hurt muscles or bones.

For those who were born as concubines, except for the few extreme ones that are often seen in novels, most of them can be divided into two categories.

For example, those who work hard to prove themselves like Tanchun, or those who work hard to reduce the sense of existence like Yingchun.

Aunt Xue's calculations can probably be regarded as a compromise between the two.

Because she didn't have a brother who had a real brother and lost her mother early on, she was raised by her aunt's side since she was a child. Although the old lady of the Wang family was definitely not as considerate to her as she was to her own children, she definitely didn't lose her in anything. of.Even if she is not as good as Mrs. Wang, the first sister, in terms of marriage, the dowry is so rich that people can completely ignore this point. After doing this, she has developed a gentle temperament on the one hand, but on the other hand she is very gentle. It's a bit tactful.

At least this time, even if her response didn't look very brilliant from above, there was nothing wrong with it, and the Xue family was actually using Xue Pan's name as a book, to a ten-year-old girl. For children, this is indeed a good answer.

After only two or three months, Xue's side quietly sent away a guest, the same guest who came quietly.

Don't look at the fact that when the guests were kept in the past, it was in the name of inviting Mr. Xue Pan, but even if Xue Pan has made a lot of progress compared to the original, it is just because of his sense of responsibility that he paid more attention to business matters. He is still the overlord who doesn't like reading.Counting for so many years, it is nothing more than being pressured to recognize a few words and not to be blind. It is absolutely impossible to expect him to go to school without intending to take the imperial examination at all.

On the contrary, Daiyu is sensitive and eager to learn. In addition, she has been restrained by the words of the monks since she was a child, and she rarely sees outsiders. She really likes to go to customers to ask them about homework and talk—this person But they are definitely not relatives and friends of the Xue family, even if they are of a foreign surname, they are not worried about breaking any precepts.

Although this person is considered to be the direct descendant of the Holy Majesty, and he had no relationship with Xue's family before, Daiyu looks very cute, well-behaved and sensible, and is clever and clever. During the past few months, he has really gained the other party's goodwill.

----split line----

The Xue family's excerpts could only be regarded as lukewarm, and Aunt Xue still had the upper hand because she did not want to offend the Zhen family. Under normal circumstances, such an excerpt would naturally displease the Holy Spirit.

But at this time, it can be shown what it means to have people in the court who are easy to talk to - this is something that not too many people know, and it has always been something that God knows and knows, as long as you contact the Xue family That's all there is to say a good word or two for the Xue family.

Xue Pan's age is the best protection.

There are many signs of being an adult, such as starting a family and establishing a career, or achieving a crown and a hairpin. Although Xue Pan has to take care of his own affairs because of the loss of his father, no one can say against his will that Xue Pan is now an adult in his early ten years. .

People will always show some tolerance to underage children, especially children who are good-looking, well-behaved and capable, and do not show any signs of being a bad child. This is human nature.

Moreover, the Holy Majesty is not ignorant of the great power of the Zhen family, and he can understand a thing or two about the fact that the Xue family is not good enough in front of the Zhen family. Lacking a more objective understanding, the Xue family did not feel that there was a big problem for a while because of the miscalculation of the actual number of things that the Xue family concealed and failed to report.

When the Holy One was young, he often wandered around the south of the Yangtze River with nothing to do. He nicknamed it the Southern Tour. For this reason, the Zhen family took a few rides and spent a lot of money in it. He also owed the treasury a million taels of silver. Only then did the Holy Master give the Zhen family a follow-up.In addition, although the Holy Majesty is not fully aware of the various small actions of the First Prince in Beijing, it would be an insult to the Holy Majesty's IQ if he said he was ignorant of the things that happened under his nose.

Although the Holy Majesty has his own loving father filter, he only thinks that the eldest son Aifei is being coaxed, and the friction with the prince is just a small matter between brothers, and it will not cause too much trouble, but he has to admit that the eldest prince wants to develop The expenses of power are also indispensable, at least the salary alone is absolutely unsustainable, and the Zhen family, as a foreign family, will inevitably have to stretch out their hands.

Under such circumstances, if it is said that the Zhen family is short of money, the Holy Majesty can really believe it.

Aunt Xue didn't mean to hide it at all, and even wrote about how much filial piety she would give to the Zhen family every year, but she discounted the amount.He even wrote about some less serious incidents of encroachment on other people's property by the offshoot of the Zhen family, which did not involve human life lawsuits.

The Zhen family... Although it has not been long since the family started, and the foundation may not be stable after careful calculation, it can be regarded as a family that has been passed down for many years.The servants of the Jia family are deeply rooted, but there are definitely not a few people who cling to them after the Zhen family got up.

Don't think that the word "family" is only limited to rich and noble families, even in the countryside there are clans.The so-called ascending to heaven by one person, as long as Zhen Yingjia doesn't have the courage to break up with the clan at the cost of ruining his own reputation, then after his family gains power, the distant relatives of the side will naturally join in.

Zhen Yingjia herself is not a person with two sleeves, and if she makes money by herself, she is merciless, so it is impossible for the people below to restrain herself. Buying and selling by force is still a gentle method, and it is not uncommon for her family to be destroyed. It's all available evidence.

The relationship between the Holy Majesty and the Zhen family lies in the wet nurse Mrs. Fengsheng, the baby brother Zhen Yingjia, the favorite concubine Zhen Guifei and a series of children born to the Zhen Guifei, and the rest of the distant relatives and so on. Even if the close relatives are not close, let alone pointing at Zhen Yingjia's face like Aiwu and Wu, it is naturally impossible to be lenient when dealing with these people.

The Zhen family was indeed charged with crimes, and it is not uncommon for them to act pervertedly for the sake of money. Just looking at the behavior of the relatives in the side branches who don't know how many rooms away, it can be seen that they know it.Salt administration has always been full of fat and vacancies, and it is not impossible for someone to become aggressive.

Don't look at those distant relatives who are far away from each other, they may not have the courage to attack the Xunyan censor, and the Zhen family is not without the kind of idiots who have status but no knowledge.After all, only Fengsheng's natal family and Zhen Yingjia's original wife's natal family are completely inexperienced but not low in status.

The Holy Majesty looked at the things that the Xue family handed over, and felt that he had already found a reason for the Zhen family, and also thought of a "fair" punishment.

This time it was indeed the Zhen family's fault. Even if Zhen Yingjia hadn't had any bad intentions, there would always be charges of negligence, and the eldest prince's actions are a bit too big now, and he frequently clashed with the prince, and provoked a little. Some dissatisfaction with the Holy Majesty, so the Holy Majesty also decided to give a small punishment and a big reprimand.

Of course, the Holy Majesty felt that he was fair enough, and did not ignore the grievances of the Lin family just because the Zhen family was close to him, but when the development of the situation spread to Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai probably would not think so, nor would Jia Min. I think so.

The author has something to say:

Xue Pan... Although there is no good comment on him in the original book, but with such a beautiful sister as Xue Baochai, Xue Pan will not look too polluting to the city.

And the plot has developed to the present, although the timeline made me a little messed up, there should be no big mistake that Xue Pan is about ten years old, and ten years old is not an adult at all.

Weak people are naturally prone to arouse people's sense of protection. Of course, it is not good to show that I am weak and reasonable, but this time I have already gained a lot of favorability. It is not surprising that the widowed mother said a few nice words.
