[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Concubine Zhen is dead.

is really dead.Dead through.

Ever since the matter of defeating the fifth prince fell through, she has been seriously ill in bed.Situ Kun returned to Beijing for five days, and she sent people to invite her every day, but no one came.But fortunately, we finally saw each other for the last time when we were dying.

She wisely didn't mention the Zhen family, didn't mention the fifth prince, and didn't make any demands. She just held Situ Kun's hand and told him about the good old days.

At that time, Situ Kun was still young, and she was also young and beautiful.Once favored the crown of the harem, for many years, no one except the queen can match it.It can be seen that in Situ Kun's heart, he liked her, cared about her, and doted on her.

They have also had romance, warmth, and heartbeat.

But later, because of the Zhen family, because of the seizure of the heir, and because of Situ Feng, various incidents came one after another, and this relationship gradually changed.

However, people are dead now.The resentment and disgust seemed to be gone.Only good is left.

On the second day after Concubine Zhen's death, Situ Kun released Situ Feng from the clan mansion. Situ Feng wept bitterly in Qianyuan Hall, confessed his mistakes and repented, and even his voice became hoarse.

Situ Kun finally softened his heart and asked him to guard the spirit of Concubine Zhen.After Concubine Zhen was buried, the clan's residence did not return.Directly returned to the government.Knowing that the plaque of Prince An's Mansion has been taken down, a large number of people have been cleared out of the mansion, and a circle of imperial guards has also been stationed outside the mansion.

Confinement is still confinement, but the location is changed from the clan mansion to the original Prince An's mansion and now the Prince's mansion.

This move actually made several families happy and others sad.

The ones who are happy are naturally the female relatives of the Fifth Prince's Mansion.Worrying, the first to bear the brunt, I am afraid it will be the Wang family.

Crying and crying, Wei clung to the prince, "Why is our sister Luan's life so hard! The fifth prince... the fifth prince's current situation, what should we do to our sister Luan! If the fifth prince is still in the clan mansion , nothing happened, but although he is still locked up, he has already returned to the mansion, under such circumstances, sister Luan, sister Luan, will she still want to marry?"

"The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Rituals to make preparations. At the beginning, the main concubines and side concubines who were meant to be married will enter the mansion after the next year. But...but our sister Luan..."

Wang Ziteng frowned, "Don't be in a hurry, fortunately now that Concubine Zhen is gone, the Ministry of Rites will never lose sight of mentioning the fifth prince's marriage at this time."

"The noble concubine is only a noble concubine after all, not a aunt. The queen is still here!"

According to the law of this dynasty, when the birth mother of a concubine's child dies, the son's filial piety period shall be replaced by three years in three months.Even those who have filial piety can keep it for a long time, it is only one year, but in fact it is only nine months. 27 months, that is the standard of the aunt, which cannot be exceeded.Even if she is respected as a noble concubine, it is the same.

However, these three months are still nine months, depending on the meaning of the above.If it is nine months, they can still delay it.If it is three months, it is impossible.

Another point.Even if she didn't get married this time, as long as the engagement is still in place, Wang Xiluan is not worthy of anyone else.

But the royal family has made a marriage contract by imperial decree, how can it be withdrawn!

Wei's complexion was pale, he collapsed on the ground, covered his mouth, and sobbed.Wang Ziteng was sitting, but his eyes were full of sadness.

********

November twenty.

The frontier urgently reported that Bei Rong set fire to a village during the looting.His Majesty was furious, and discussed with six parts.

23rd.Officially ordered to go out.

The third day of December.Situ Zheng and Feng Tang led the army to set off, and His Majesty took the rest of the princes, except the fifth prince, to see them off at the city gate.

As soon as the army left, Situ Yue found a free time and dragged Lin Yan to the Red House Hot Pot.

In the lobby on the first floor, guests come like clouds.In the wing room on the second floor, the two of them were in full swing.You rob each other, fat cows, hairy belly, shrimp slippery, peeing beef balls, tumbling and being fished out.

When Situ Yue praised him, he didn't forget to complain.

"The food here is a must. It's top-notch. It's a pity that the name is not very good! Red House Hot Pot? I always feel that it smells weird when called out."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, and while Situ Yue wasn't paying attention, he grabbed the fat cow that was being rinsed in his chopsticks.

"What's not good, I think it's very good. It's catchy and easy to remember!"

"Catchy? I've never seen such an awkward name. You actually say it's catchy?"

Lin Yan was taken aback, so probably because in his previous life, the Red Mansion was too famous, so he heard it a lot, and thought it was familiar and easy to remember, and it was catchy, but it was not?

However, it doesn't matter.

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is there something tricky about Concubine Zhen's death?"

Situ Yue snorted, "It's not like that. Suicide is a big taboo for concubines, and Zhen Guifei would not be so stupid. However, when the accident happened to the Zhen family, she had already suffered a serious illness and hurt her foundation. I heard about the Fifth Brother When it was passed back to Beijing, she vomited a mouthful of heartache and passed out directly. Later, she became even more impatient when she saw that Fifth Brother had entered the clan's mansion.

In such a situation, she didn't have to think of any other way.Just secretly pour out all the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and refuse to seek medical treatment.The body is naturally useless day by day. "

"does it worth?"

Situ Yue paused with his chopsticks, and looked at Lin Yan, "Have you ever been to the Zongren Mansion? Do you know what Fifth Brother looks like in the Clan Mansion?"

Lin Yan was slightly stunned, and Situ Yue said again: "I have been there. On the day Zhen Guifei passed away, she went with her father. In the clan's mansion, there was a shortage of food and clothing, and there was not enough charcoal. It was because the people there did not dare to treat the prince badly. In such a situation, the conditions are extremely limited. The fifth brother is very bad. If he hadn't called me the ninth brother and dragged me to say sorry, I would hardly have recognized him."

"We were born in the royal family. No matter how we fight in secret, we are all precious. I saw that Wu Ge's hands were red with cold sores. He lost a lot of weight, and his clothes were on his body. He was empty. Both eye sockets were sunken Quite a lot. His face was pale. Not to mention father, even I was a little scared."

"I heard that Concubine Zhen dragged people away and sent things to the clan's mansion every day. I think she knows about Fifth Brother's situation. Perhaps, she is afraid, afraid that if she stays like this, Fifth Brother will not be able to hold on. Although Fifth Brother It is still encircled now, but it is in my own mansion, the golden house warms the quilt, how can it be compared to the clan mansion?"

Lin Yan understood it, and thought about it too.If the poor have experienced hardships, this plight is nothing.But if it is placed on the prince who has grown up in rich clothes and fine clothes, it is like falling from the clouds to the mud.

Not only physically, but also psychologically, it is unbearable.

"I can see that Father is distressed. He looked at Fifth Brother, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was speechless."

Situ Yue's expression was very complicated, and Lin Yan hesitated: "You..."

"I understand it in my heart. In the past, when we were all young, he treated fifth brother better than me and third brother. Now that fifth brother looks like this, if he is not moved at all, I would be disappointed. But, knowing that In this way, it can be seen that he released Brother Wu so easily. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."

Lin Yan nodded, he understood.Because of this incident, Situ Yue almost became disabled. Even if the imperial doctor said nothing happened, he still needs to pay attention to maintenance.This is still due to youth.How do you know that after 30 or [-] years, what will happen when you get old?

Situ Feng had only been locked up for a long time, and he was released lightly, and now he has returned to the mansion.Will it be released in two or three years?This action made the previous rage seem like a child's play.How could Situ Yue not be angry or complain?

"Don't talk about that! That's right! Didn't you say you wanted to build a horse farm before? The emperor probably felt that he didn't do it properly. He sent a bunch of things to my house and asked me what I needed. I asked him for a piece of land. I went to see it, and it happened to be a horse farm. What do you think?"

Lin Yan gave him a sideways glance, "It's not good! It's yours, not mine. I want to do it to give my sister a place where she can run wild. When she gets married, she will naturally have a dowry for her." What's the matter with getting involved with you!"

"It's not easy, I'll sell it to..." Situ Yue blurted out without even thinking about it, and didn't feel right in the middle of the sentence.The things given by the emperor can't be sold casually, so he changed his mouth again, "There is another way."

"Father revealed earlier that he would choose a concubine for me. When this matter is settled, the racecourse can be named under her name. We are just two people who will take care of the business between your sister and Princess Ning. There will never be another Said!"

This method is good, and Daiyu and Wangfei are partners, which is also a layer of assistance.Lin Yan thought about it, and became interested, "This is good! You first circle out the area and block the outside. No one else is allowed to enter. If my sister is bored, she can go in for a run. It's just the architectural design inside. Let it go, when I am free, I will make the blueprint and plan for you."

Situ Yue's eyes lit up, "What's your idea?"

Lin Yan blinked, "Great idea! But it's just a preliminary idea. Let me go over it first. I still have to spare time!"

Situ Yue curled his lips, "Then when will you have to wait? You are now running around the Imperial College, Lin's House, and Yan's house, even going to the Shen's house is only occasionally. Can Mr. Lin tell you to spare some time?"

Lin Yan's complexion changed, Yaya, do you want to lift which pot without opening it!Nose snorted, "After a while, the Imperial College will suspend school. It's the end of the year again, and he must let me relax for a few days."

Situ Yue laughed, "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Lin will find out that you used the time you finally relaxed to do this, and then arrest you again?"

"Will you chat! Will you chat!" Lin Yan's face darkened, and he slapped his chopsticks on the table, got up and went out, not forgetting to yell, "Qiu Ming, let's go back home!"

Turning around and glaring at Situ Yue, "Don't forget to pay the bill!"

Situ Yuehuo stood up suddenly, "Pay the bill? Lin Yan, did you make a mistake! You actually asked me to pay the bill?"

"This is my shop, my personal! You don't pay the bill, do you want to eat Bawang meal?"

Situ Yue was furious, "Don't even look at it, how did your hot pot restaurant open! You are trapped in the mansion every day to do your homework. If it weren't for the busyness of your master, you would think that your restaurant would fall from the sky. Yes? I didn’t even ask you for wages, so you’re ashamed to ask me to pay the bill! Besides, didn’t you eat? I dare say I ate it all by myself!”

However, at this time Lin Yan had already gone downstairs to the street without looking back.Situ Yue's teeth itch with anger!

********

December twenty.The army has reached the border.A small group of Northern Rong troops fled after hearing the news, but the eldest prince took advantage of the situation and arrested a group.For the time being, it will be used as a prisoner of war.Wait for the army to be repaired and formulate a plan.

At this time, the capital city has already fallen into the excitement of the New Year's Eve.Red lanterns were hung up in every house and mansion, and the old talismans were replaced by new peaches in front of the gates.On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Golden Luan Hall was reopened, and the Yamen resumed their daily routine.Situ Kun asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the entry of several princes' concubines.

ninth day.The Wang family reported that Wang Xiluan had contracted a cold and was seriously ill in bed.

Situ Kun's eyes were gloomy, "I remember that all the female family members selected at the beginning sent imperial physicians to ask for pulse, and they all said they were healthy."

Minister of Rites lowered his head, "Yes! It's just that this person eats whole grains, so there's no way he won't get sick."

It is true that there is no one who is not sick, but it just happens to be so sick.

"Where is Wang Ziteng now?"

"Master Wang was promoted to be in charge of the nine provinces, and His Majesty ordered him to patrol. Since the beginning of the fifth lunar month, Lord Wang has already set off for Shandong, and he should be on his way now."

From this point of view, it shouldn't be Wang Ziteng's idea.Otherwise, he would choose to sit in town by himself, just in case.Sure enough, the benevolence of women, it seems that Mrs. Wang is like this.

Situ Kun nodded lightly, with no trace of joy or anger on his face, and waved his hand to let the Minister of Rites to retreat, his face darkened.

"Dai Quan, Imperial Physician Xuan Liu!"

Since they are going to be sick, let them be sick!My son, let alone a circle, is useless, crippled, and a high-ranking prince. Only I can beat and scold him, and it's no one else's turn to dislike him!

Didn't you rush to get married with Lao Wu at the beginning?Regret it now, just throw it aside?Think beautifully!
