The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 85

Because her son has gradually grown up and is quite promising among his peers, Aunt Xue actually has no extravagant expectations for her daughter's marriage.

In her opinion, Daiyu's body was congenitally weak when she was brought out of the womb. Even if she is recuperated at home, she is at most similar to ordinary people. To suffer some grievances or something.Aunt Xue has always regarded her daughter as a treasure, and she thought that if she could choose a low-marriage marriage, it would be good for her husband's family to look up to her daughter for the rest of her life.

But now that she saw Daiyu's low interest because of what happened in Zhen's family, she inevitably hesitated.

If you marry into a merchant's family, even if you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you will still have to suffer if you meet the brothers and sisters of the official family. If she really suffered any kind of grievance, Aunt Xue couldn't let Aunt Xue feel distressed to death.

Aunt Xue, who had no intention of marrying Daiyu, began to hesitate.

Daiyu knew nothing about Aunt Xue's distress.But ever since she attended the small banquet of Zhen's family, Daiyu began to dream night after night.

After waking up every day, it is difficult for Daiyu to remember what she dreamed about. She only vaguely remembers that she and her mother and elder brother went to a strange and extraordinarily rich mansion. In addition to chatting with some sisters and composing poems, there is also a very picturesque brother who is about the same age as me, and often shows courtesy by my side.

The appearance of the person in the dream is even vague, and what happened is even more vague. The only thing that is certain is that it is indeed a particularly strange environment.

There are many stories about Huangliang Yimeng in the book. Daiyu has read a lot of similar miscellaneous notes. Now it is just an illusory dream, which will not affect her. At most, it is just a story, or the kind of A story that is forgotten in a blink of an eye.

Although this dream does not affect her mood, but aside from other factors, dreaminess can affect the quality of sleep after all, and the quality of sleep can be directly linked to the state of mind...

Anyway, since she came back from Zhen's house, although Daiyu didn't get sick again, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep up her spirits, and she couldn't sleep well at night. What's the use of it, and Daiyu is always wrapped tightly in winter, which makes her small face the size of a palm look very pitiful.

In the eyes of Aunt Xue, this is already a very serious matter.

Of course, she wouldn't think that Daiyu was worried about her future marriage. After all, no matter how precocious the children of rich and noble families were, Aunt Xue didn't think that Daiyu started worrying about these things when she was only seven or eight years old. Getting married is indeed not good for her daughter's health, so she took care of her more carefully.

----split line----

If it is said that in the early years, the Holy Majesty could still guarantee 100% trust in the Zhen family, in recent years, with the successive disturbances on the Zhen family's side, coupled with the growing suspicion of the emperor with age, it is really true. It can't be blamed on the Holy One for keeping an eye on the Zhen family on a whim.

For example, send someone to monitor the Zhen family's activities and so on.

The Xue family's original errands were not very satisfactory to the Holy One, but the person who happened to be sent to contact the Xue family had a really good impression of the Xue family, and always said a few words for the Xue family good words.

"The original one of the Xue family didn't come early. The mistress of the family was originally a daughter of the Wang family. At that time, the brother of the Xue family was only four or five years old. With great difficulty, he managed to keep the family business with the help of General Wang. The Zhen family in Jinling is powerful. You can't offend easily, and you can't just say a few good words in the book. According to the students, this Xue family's mistress is nothing more than that, this Xue family brother is just when he is young, and he is quite dull when getting along with him in daily life. Don’t be too philistine of merchants, but you might as well try to use it without telling others.” A person who can be sent by the Holy One to do such a private matter must not be useless, even if he was in Jinling for a while. Every family can still get a lot of news, and they can grasp the temperament of Xue's family even more clearly.

It is not incomprehensible that Aunt Xue does not want to offend the Zhen family, whether it is because of the prudence of a concubine's daughter to protect herself or the businessman's long-sleeved skill.It's just that not everyone can do this kind of private errand. Status, power and financial resources are all indispensable. Although the Holy One is not necessary to the Xue family, it is not easy to change the family. .

It just so happened that someone gave him a suitable suggestion, and the Holy Majesty was already soft-hearted towards these veterans, so he was willing to give the Xue family another chance.

——Of course, Aunt Xue kept this matter from her.

Leaving aside the so-called rebellious psychology of half-grown children, it is only said that men these days rarely have the habit of going home to report everything to their female relatives. In addition, the people who communicate with them are still familiar faces from last time, Xue Pan I didn't have much doubts.

Even though Xue Pan didn't like reading when he was a child, he was brought up under the teachings of the heaven and earth monarchs, relatives and teachers. Since the above said that this matter needs to be kept secret and it is inappropriate to alarm the female relatives, Xue Pan naturally didn't mention a word.

The gap between men and women is a natural thing, don't look at Aunt Xue who is several times older than Xue Pan and has a deep foundation in Xue's family. If you really encounter something that Xue Pan wants to hide, as long as he says that he wants to hide it from the family, Xue Pan Auntie doesn't want to know anything unless she takes the initiative to check and question carefully.

Although Xue Pan is not yet married, he is by no means at an age where he can hang out with female relatives every day, so naturally he cannot go to the banquet of the Zhen family.

Although he loves his younger sister dearly, it's just that he really can't understand his little sister's delicate emotional lines due to his nature.Knowing that since she came back from Zhen's house, the little girl has been unable to keep up her spirits, so she just thought that she must have been wronged when she was in Zhen's house.

Although Xue Pan is a simple-minded bully, he is not really stupid enough to think that he is the second child. In business, he pays attention to harmony and wealth. Apart from provoking his own family and whether he can afford the Zhen family, he just looks at the two. His family lives in Jinling, Xue Pan really didn't want to offend the Zhen family from the very beginning.

Otherwise, how can we say that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers? Intellectually, Xue Pan did understand that he should not tease the Zhen family, but when he found out that his little sister had been wronged, Xue Pan still couldn't help but want to give the Zhen family a favor. lesson.

If the Zhen family really concealed it better, or if Xue Pan had not had time to get in touch with this kind of errand, even if Xue Pan was unhappy in every possible way and had nothing to do, at most he could find a chance to find someone from the Zhen family to beat him up Quan should vent his anger once, anyway, there are quite a lot of offshoots of the Zhen family, but these people are not enough for Zhen Yingjia to stand up for them, even if Xue Pan beats up one or two people, he is not afraid that someone will come to find the Xue family's bad luck.

But now that Xue Pan's ability is a little bit bigger, the mess that this can cause will inevitably become a little bit bigger.

The aristocratic families in the imperial court are interconnected, and it is impossible for anyone to be truly prosperous. This kind of mutual protection in many unspeakable places has almost become an unspoken secret among the aristocratic families.It's just that the Xue family is not an official in the court, so there is less attention to be paid in this regard. Even now, the few contacts of the Xue family in the court are still in the hands of Aunt Xue, and Xue Pan really doesn't know much.

There has always been a saying among the military officers that the generals are not subject to the orders of the emperor, and although the civilian officials are not as exaggerated as the military generals, the degree of freedom of the foreign officials is indeed much greater than that of the Beijing officials.The Zhen family has been entrenched in Jinling for many years, and their contacts in the court are strong enough, so they naturally seem a little casual in this regard.

There is a saying in the Book of Changes that if the ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his integrity.As an official, Zhen Yingjia is used to being casual, and the word "rigor" really has nothing to do with it. It's just that no one has mentioned it before. Once a stunned young man stabs the matter to the top, it's really hard to say what the result will be. up.

Especially when the Zhen family has actually gone too far.

As I said earlier, more of the Zhen family's wealth can be traced back to women, such as the old Madam Zhen who was a nurse for the Holy Majesty, and the concubine Zhen Gui who was quite favored in the palace. Those who have the ability to be an official butcher are really hard to find. Rao Zhen Yingjia has the triple bonus of mother, daughter and grandson. It doesn't mean that he has to stay in Jinling as a foreign official, and has no chance to enter Beijing to be a real official. Take power into the cabinet.

What is the end of a person who is greedy, bold and fearless as an official... I can only say that if Mrs. Zhen's dignity is not still there, another official who can achieve Zhen Yingjia's level will probably not be able to get rid of his decapitation ending.

But this was enough to completely anger the Holy One.

No matter how much the Holy Majesty favors the Zhen family, he is still the king of a country who has been in Yuyu for decades, so he can't put the Zhen family more seriously than the country. Given the solid evidence, even if he can't beat himself up to deal with the Zhen family, at least it is enough Let the Zhen family lose their sacred heart.

Before when the Lin family and the Zhen family tore up their faces and wrote a letter pointing out that the Zhen family had insufficient tax revenue or was corrupt, the Holy Majesty was able to deceive himself while being suspicious. Maybe it was only because Zhen Yingjia was not a good official that he could not rectify the taxation like Lin Ruhai did. It’s not because of intentional greed—the Holy Majesty’s tolerance for the Zhen family has reached a certain level. It can even be said that the Zhen family has grown up from a humble beginning all the way by relying on the words of Jane in the heart of the emperor. For the Zhen family, there is nothing like losing His Majesty's unconditional preference for something more terrible.

Oh, maybe there are still some. For example, the Holy One was furious at the Zhen family because of Xue Pan's secret report, but the Zhen family didn't know about it, and even sent people to Jinling to inquire quietly without telling everyone about it. At the Zhen family, she still didn't restrain herself at all, and even got worse.
