[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials

With Heshen's current status and ability, it is naturally impossible to build it.

He set his sights on Qianlong.

When did He Shen really make his fortune?

Since he took office as the minister of treasury and managed the cloth library, he was quite capable of managing money, which greatly increased the stock of cloth.In addition, Heshen was born handsome and upright. When Qianlong saw him, he felt that he really cherished such a talented young man, so he was promoted to be the imperial guard of the Qianqing Gate and the deputy governor.

From then on, He Shen became a celebrity in front of Qianlong.

In the next two years, He Shen's promotion speed was comparable to that of a rocket.

In his previous life, He Shen had gone full circle in the business world.What He Shen needs to learn slowly, but he doesn't have to, he can use it directly.

……

He Shen gradually lost his mind.

"Sir?"

"Young Master?" Master Xuan rubbed his knees with some anxiety.

Obviously he is also a character in Fujian, and ordinary people dare not offend him easily, but when he comes to He Shen, Taoist Xuan always feels that he is a head short, and dare not make mistakes in the slightest.

"Well, you should rest first. If you have any plans, tell me tomorrow."

Master Xuan had no choice but to agree.

"Bring a bowl of sweet water to the Taoist priest," He Shen said.

The servant girl responded, took sweet water and snacks and placed them in front of Master Xuan.

Taoist Master Xuan had never seen these things before, he suppressed his surprise in his heart, and didn't want to show the slightest appearance of a country bumpkin.

Sure enough, there are still many good things in the capital.

Taoist Xuan sighed, and couldn't restrain himself from eating and drinking.

He Shen admired his posture slowly, and already had a vague idea in his heart.

These sweet waters and snacks are all based on the original food of the Qing Dynasty and have been processed more precisely.Naturally, it is much more refined.It's not as good as the food in the palace, but if it's a folk, it's amazing enough.

He Shen is very satisfied.

There is one more way to make money in the future.

"Let's rest, Taoist priest." He Shen got up and left.

Master Xuan did not dare to stop him, stood up and nodded repeatedly, watching He Shen leave.

After Heshen walked away, Taoist Xuan began to look at the house.

It doesn't look very rich, but it is full of subtlety.

Master Xuan recalled He Shen's appearance in his mind just now, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, the capital is really different.In front of him, I actually feel even more small.

The maids quickly cleaned up the dishes.

Master Xuan swept the table, only to find that there was a book left on it.

After taking it apart and looking at it, Taoist Xuan immediately shivered.And the more he looked down, the more he trembled.It was not because of fear, but because of excitement.

He knew that the young master had already prepared for it!

Taoist Xuan folded the book and put it in his arms, he didn't look for Heshen again, and even moved out the next day.

For a period of time after that, Master Xuan lived in a small Taoist temple on the outskirts of the capital.Several people who had heard of his reputation came to pay homage to him.Under their guidance, Taoist Xuan began to gradually penetrate into the circle of wealthy families in the capital.

And this is just the first step for him to regain his reputation in the capital.

In the 31st year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination was held.

Heshen was sixteen years old.

His teachers, Wu Shengqin and Wu Shenglan, valued Heshen's talents very much, and put a lot of thought into Heshen, striving for a good ranking for Heshen.

This year, a small Taoist temple finally gained some fame.

You can come here to try any strange diseases that ordinary doctors and doctors can't cure.Although the family of the rich and powerful in Beijing disdains this, they have some impressions of this Taoist temple.

At this time, He Shen was sitting under the window, opening the letter at hand.

One was written by Taoist Master Xuan, and it was about the recent situation of Taoism with him.The Heshen grasses were swept and torn up and burned.

Another letter came from Yangzhou.

He Shen took it apart in a few clicks, with a little smile on his mouth that he hadn't noticed.

But soon, that smile disappeared.

This letter was not written by Daiyu, but by Lin Ruhai.

For some reason, Jia Yucun had been elected by Lin Ruhai to be an official again, but Daiyu hadn't come to Beijing for a long time.

He Shen was helpless, probably because he delayed Jia Min's death by his own efforts.Naturally, the Rongguo Mansion would not come to pick him up.

He Shen suppressed his thoughts and carefully scanned the contents of the letter.

Soon, He Shen raised his eyebrows, and hooked the corners of his mouth without leaving any trace.

It didn't deviate too far from the plot in the book.

The people sent by the Rongguo Mansion to Yangzhou were still on their way, probably because they had sent a letter earlier, so Lin Ruhai couldn't wait to write another letter to He Shen before they arrived.

Lin Ruhai was not sure whether to let Daiyu come to Beijing with the people from Rongguo Mansion.After all, he couldn't leave Rendi, even if Daiyu was accompanied by maids and servants, and went to her grandfather's house, Lin Ruhai still couldn't let her go.

So he entrusted it to He Shen.

He Shen folded the letter, but it was pressed between the books.

In fact, why did Lin Ruhai ask for it?If Daiyu came to Beijing, he would naturally take care of her.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the window lattice.

He Shen looked up and saw He Lin standing outside with aggrieved face.

He Shen had to put down the book in his hand for the time being: "What's the matter? Could it be that he was bullied by someone?"

"I heard someone say it in the official school today..." He Lin said angrily.

"What did you say?"

"It is said that elder brother will get married soon."

He Shen found it funny.

How could he not know about getting married?

Seeing that He Shen remained silent, He Lin felt even more disappointed. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I heard that she is the granddaughter of Feng Yinglian, the governor of Zhili... If someone from this family treats me badly in the future, brother Can't you protect me..."

He Shen felt even more amused: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never even seen the girl you are talking about."

"Sure, really?" He Lin raised her head to look at him, with some tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes: "But they all said that elder brother must get married before going to the exam."

He Shen searched in memory.

I vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned this matter to him recently.

But He Shen's thoughts were not on it at all.

What's more, in his opinion, since he is young, those girls are even younger.How can marry home?

He Shen shook his head: "Don't bother your brother, go back and read your book, listen to the wind and rain all day long, why are you so unsteady?"

He Lin raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but she laughed: "It's fine if brother doesn't get married..."

He Shen pursed his lips and said nothing.

get married?

In his previous life, he had never found a girl he liked, let alone in this life.

I am afraid that there is no girl who grew up under the education of feudal etiquette that can suit him.

Thinking of this, He Shen suddenly broke the brush.

and wait...

He is not married.

But Daiyu is going to marry in the future.

After much deliberation, He Shen couldn't figure out who Sister Lin would marry in the future.

It is absolutely impossible for Jia Baoyu to succeed.

Although Jia Baoyu's nature is not bad, but with his temperament, if he is with Daiyu, Daiyu will suffer and suffer, and it is impossible to go back to the dead end of the original book.

How can that be done!

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't stop it.

When He Shen came back to his senses, his hands were already covered in ink.The rice paper on the table is also in a mess.

He Shen knocked on the table, and said to the outside: "Call Steward Liu."

There was a sound from outside.

Not long after, Butler Liu carefully opened the door and came in.

He bowed in front of He Shen, smiled earnestly and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

With a slight smile, He Shen looked Butler Liu from head to toe.

He Shen seldom laughed in the house, but once he did, it made Butler Liu very angry, wondering if he had done something wrong.

"Steward Liu said before that he had a five-year-old daughter who died young, right?"

"Yes." Butler Liu was at a loss, but he answered quickly.

"Butler Liu only has one son, right? It was supposed to have both sons and daughters, but now it's a pity..." He Shen sighed softly, as if he really felt pity for Butler Liu.

Butler Liu nodded in a daze: "Yes... the guy in the slave's family, thinking of this, will always feel sad for a long time."

"Why don't you accept a foster daughter." He Shen said.

"Righteous... righteous girl?"

He Shen smiled again, and pushed a piece of paper in front of him: "Look, this is the girl's birthday horoscope and portrait, and she is quite well-behaved. It is not a loss to be a righteous daughter with you. It just so happens , this girl was abandoned by her parents when she was very young, she is very pitiful."

Steward Liu nodded in confusion, and after holding the paper in his hand and watching his son's kung fu for a while, he finally realized it.

It must be that the young master has something to do, but he can't pass the time, so he has to borrow his hand, right?

Under the background of this era, there are bold and ambitious slaves, but more of them are slaves who are devoted to the master's family.Because once they are slaves, they will be lowly for the rest of their lives.Their honor, disgrace, wealth and honor are all one with their master.Naturally, he is also willing to be a cow or a horse for the master's family.

Butler Liu nodded, lowered his head and said, "This servant will send someone to meet her."

"No, you go yourself."

Butler Liu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

If it's a trip, it will be worth it if you can look at him differently in front of the young master!

Everyone in this house knows that the young master will make great achievements in the future!

Butler Liu didn't ask for anything else, but only hoped that his son would be able to follow him in the future, so that the ancestral grave would be smoked.

Butler Liu packed his bags that day, took a handlebar and a little girl and set off.

What he was going to was Gusu.

What I was looking for was a girl named "Snow Goose".

When Steward Liu found Xueyan, he discovered that the girl was a servant of a large family, and she followed the young lady of that family as a maid since she was a child.

Butler Liu saw the opportunity and finally met the girl named "Snow Goose".

Xueyan has long since lost her impression of her parents, and she thought this person was a liar at first, but the other party revealed his identity, saying that he came from the capital and was the housekeeper of a family of officials.He also brought a little girl with him.

The little girl was so attentive that she started serving tea to Xueyan.

Xueyan had never had such an experience before, the feeling in her heart changed instantly.

Don't say she has nothing to lie about.

She said that the other party really lied to her, but Xue Yan felt that it was different to really have a father...even if it was only for a short time.That is also different.

It was as if, in the past, he could be bullied by others.

But suddenly one day I realized that I also had something to rely on, so I didn't have to be so timid and afraid. When I was sad, I hid in the quilt and cried alone.

Steward Liu sighed, and said: "In the past, I had no choice but to abandon you. Who would have thought that the family I entrusted would also lose you. After that, your mother and I thought about it, and every time I It’s so painful...I dreamed that I could find you back.”

Xueyan's tears "swipe" down.

"Father wants to tell you so much. Dad has found a job and has a good master. The master will be an official in the future. Your mother also made you a lot of clothes. The master is kind and rewarded some beautiful materials. ...but there's no girl in the house to wear those clothes..."

Xueyan was already sobbing.

"If you don't want to marry me and your mother, it's okay to use us as godfathers and godmothers. Give us a chance to make up for you..."

Xue Yan's heart has long since softened, so there is no reason not to agree.

She nodded crying.

Butler Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

When he looked closely at the girl's face, she really looked like a daughter who had died young.

Butler Liu's heart softened, and he secretly told himself that since the young master said it, he would really treat this girl as his daughter in the future.

"This time I came to look for you, and I got the favor of the master. I will go back to Beijing soon. In the future, I will often send you some things made by your mother. There is also money...don't make yourself miserable. It's just a pity...it's a pity, you're not in Beijing. Father wants to take care of you, but there's nothing he can do." Liu Butler said with a bitter face.

Xueyan burst into tears again.

"You also have an elder brother who is very weak. But he misses you very much. He thinks about when he found his sister and how he loves you..."

Xueyan twitched and said authentically: "Since God made me have parents again. Maybe, maybe soon, with fate, I will go to Beijing too..."

Xueyan didn't dare to say that it was her daughter who was going to the capital, that Rongguo Mansion.Although she is not smart, she is not stupid to the extreme. Knowing about the master's family, she can't talk about it arbitrarily.

Steward Liu nodded after listening, and said in a deep voice, "I will wait for you in the capital with your mother and your brother..."

Xueyan followed suit and nodded.

After an hour of tossing like this, Xueyan returned to the Lin family.

Housekeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief, bought some food and clothes, and left some money, which the concierge of Tuolin's family gave to Xue Yan, and just now felt that the matter was settled, so he hurried back to the capital.

He still has to say hello to the young master.

……

Daiyu found that the snow geese were not quite right for the past few days, their eye circles were always red, and sometimes they would cry when they looked at the needlework in their hands.

Could it be that you are dying?

"Who wronged you?"

Xueyan was startled, raised her head, wiped her face indiscriminately, and said embarrassingly: "Yes, it was my family who found it."

Daiyu was also surprised: "Didn't you say that there is no news?" After finishing speaking, Daiyu followed up and said: "It's a good thing, don't cry. You should have told me earlier, I can still call you Rest for a few days and talk to them."

But Xueyan cried again: "There's nothing to say. My father is now working as a housekeeper for a family in Beijing... He's probably rushed back."

Daiyu's brows also drooped: "Don't cry. I will go to Beijing in the future. You are better than me, and you still have parents to be filial..."

Xueyan hastily stopped her voice, fearing that Zhao Daiyu would cry too.

She squinted at Daiyu's face, and after racking her brains, she only said dryly: "Young lady, don't be sad, if you really go to Beijing in the future. Although the young lady left the master, but...there is still the Where is the son!"

After finishing speaking, Xueyan looked at Daiyu again, only hoping that these words would make her look happier.

Leaving home, went to the capital to visit that brother.

It was something Daiyu had longed for in the past.

But now that her mother is gone, her father is busy with official duties, and her health is not as good as before, but she has to leave her father again...

Daiyu raised her hand and pressed her forehead, she just felt that if she stayed there, her mother was still alive, her father was healthy, and her brother was playing in the forest house, it would be fine...

When Steward Liu returned to the house, He Shen had already started to stay behind closed doors.

The imperial examination is coming soon, and he can't tell his other thoughts.

Steward Liu was not in a hurry to wait for Heshen's reward, instead he went home and asked the mother-in-law to make some girls' clothes, purses, handkerchiefs, and fans.And specifically asked his son.

The Liu family is not stupid, and they understand that only when this matter is done can they have a good time with He Shen.

So they are all positive.

After Heshen finished taking the imperial examination, the Liu family was ready to wait for the snow geese to come to Beijing.

Although this girl might never come here for the rest of her life, Butler Liu always felt that since the young master ordered this matter, it meant that she would be needed in the future.

Then she will definitely come to Beijing.

Steward Liu has great trust in He Shen.

After finishing the imperial examination, He Shen went to thank the teacher first, and then checked He Lin's homework knowledge.Only then did he sit down and listen to Steward Liu's detailed report on his trip to Gusu.

"You did a good job." He Shen smiled.

But this time, his smile no longer made Butler Liu feel scared, but delighted.

"When she arrives in Beijing, you have to see her more."

"Yes."

"Call your son to the house tomorrow."

Steward Liu's eyes lit up, he responded in a low voice, and then retreated.

This year is the 31st year of Qianlong, three years earlier than Heshen's participation in the imperial examination in history.He Shen smiled slightly, it wasn't just this that he wanted to change.

He will also change the ranking of Heshen in history.

When Heshen took the imperial examination, his name fell to Sun Shan, and he only inherited the third-class light car captain as a civil student.

But this time...he will have a different result.

Of course, it's not all about that.

Since he not only came to the Qing Dynasty, but also happened to collide with "Dream of Red Mansions".Then let him change the fate of Sister Lin as well...

Qing Qianlong 31 years.

At a young age, He Shen won the number one scholar in this subject and became a blockbuster.

It is rumored that the article he wrote on that day made the present-day sage read it over and over again, and he couldn't let go of it after reading it several times.

It is also rumored that in the Golden Palace, the Holy Majesty even praised Heshen personally for his "dragon and phoenix posture, natural nature", and because Heshen is proficient in Manchu, Han, Mongolian, and Tibetan languages, and is even more proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, the Holy Majesty likes it restrain yourself.Soon the official was given.

The only thing that overlaps with history is that He Shen, because of the talent shown in that article, served as Minister of Buku and officially stepped into the officialdom.

I also got a chance to come and go in front of Qianlong.

Buku's official position is not eye-catching, but everyone in Beijing knows that this is just a stepping stone for He Shen, and with this foundation, he will soon rise to the top.

After all, most of the Jinshi candidates are in their 40s.

Most of the officials in the DPRK and China are not young anymore.

A person who is only sixteen years old is also in the officialdom with them, but his future potential is even greater.

For a while, the name of He Shen became famous in Beijing.

It is also true that someone came to the house with the intention of marrying He Shen.

He Shen rejected them all.

When Qianlong heard about this, he asked Heshen amusedly: "It is often said that a man should start a family first and then start a career. Why don't you want to get married?"

Sixteen married, and the age is not too young.

There are many fathers at this age.

Qianlong was not young at this time, but he didn't have much seriousness. When facing Heshen, on the contrary, he was very amiable.

When talking with He Shen, he didn't have much airs.

Of course, this does not mean that Qianlong was easy to provoke.

He Shen never gets carried away.

He Shen bowed in Qianlong and said: "I have just entered the officialdom, and I still have to learn, so how can I be distracted by love? I only hope that I can have more time to share worries for the emperor."

Qianlong was originally an emperor who liked to listen to good words, so he was naturally very relieved at this time.But he still joked, "I see you don't like other girls, do you?"

He Shen smiled: "Most of the girls in the world are good girls, so it's my turn to talk about whether I like it or not."

But He Shen unconsciously lost his mind.

Favorite girl?

Who can he like?

He Shen has come into contact with some women of this era, but none of them can make him fall in love.

He Shen sometimes couldn't help wondering whether it was because he was too old mentally that he lost the impulse of a boy.

But after thinking about it, a name crossed He Shen's mind.

correct.

I don't know what happened to Daiyu.

He Shen didn't let himself be distracted, he kept the name in his heart for the time being, and talked to Qianlong for a while, and then he was sent away.

……

As he said to Qianlong in the palace that day, He Shen devoted himself to his official duties.

Be conscientious and work hard, and put Qianlong first.

He Shen is never afraid of showing his sharpness.

And Qianlong also liked this kind of thing quite a bit, and Heshen wanted to share his worries in everything. From Qianlong's point of view, he was really sincere!

All officials in the world should be like He Shen!

Qianlong thought so, and he was promoted to the official position of Heshen very simply.

Qing Qianlong 32 years.

He Shenzheng was the imperial guard of Qianqing Gate and concurrently the deputy governor.

That's nearly nine years faster than in history.

The nine years saved are enough for He Shen to do many things!

In the same year, under persuasion, Lin Ruhai agreed with Daiyu to go to the ancestral home outside Rongguo Mansion with the wives sent by Rongguo Mansion.

This year, Daiyu was only thirteen.
