The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

Sister Feng wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and her nephew, who was used to promote her, would give Wu Zhao power, but she didn't expect that the delicate Lin sister would make a move for herself, and it was Sister Feng herself who led the way.

Because of Wu Zhao's prestige at the beginning, and Sister Feng's displeasure, no one came to play wild in the next month.

Wu Zhao firmly controlled all the expenses of the Ning Mansion, and Qin Keqing's funeral affairs were handled in an orderly manner without any mistakes, and no one could pick out the bones from the eggs.

Jia Zhenben was just sending a favor in the past, unexpectedly, but sister Lin is so powerful, she couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and had to look at it differently.

Today is the day of the funeral, and the eastern and western prefectures have been busy since the morning.

Ordinarily, Qin Keqing is a junior, and Jia Baoyu is of the same generation as Master Jia Zhen of the East Mansion, so Master Zhen calls Wang Xifeng and Miss Lin the eldest sister, so Jia Zhen's son and Rong's daughter-in-law, Qin Keqing, is Jia Baoyu juniors.

They are all Jia Baoyu's juniors, let alone Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing will still follow the funeral.

for what?Naturally, it's for show off.

Showing off is not only about happy events, of course, it can also be shown about white things, let's see who has the bigger scene and more grandeur.

In today's Jia's mansion, there are no longer Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong who are high officials. The mansion is full of people who are not high enough to be low enough, and they are just waiting to die. There is only the decency left by the ancestors to show off. , so how could they not show off?

The funeral on this day was held in a grand manner by Jia's family. Except for Jia's mother at home, almost everyone else was dispatched, and there were some distant relatives.

Because Wu Zhao was taking care of the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion, she got up early today and was busy for a while, before dawn, Jia Yun also came in in a hurry, changed into a new dress, gray The soap-colored robe, the white long gown inside, and a piece of black jade tied on her head, looks more decent than before. The clothes are better, and it sets off Jia Yun's high-spirited and vigorous person, and I don't know how many times more handsome.

Wu Zhao watched Jia Yun come in, couldn't help but glance at Jia Yun, and looked at Jia Yun sideways, with a little smile on his lips, as if very gentle.

When Jia Yun saw it, she felt a little nervous, probably because she was dressed too ostentatiously, which made Miss Lin very unhappy.

Jia Yun's scalp was numb, and Wu Zhao had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "After doing this month's work, I have gained a lot of dignity, and you must have... made a lot of money?"

Jia Yun was so frightened that she wanted to kneel immediately, but Wu Zhao smiled and said, "What are you kneeling for? It's not Chinese New Year yet."

Jia Yun lowered her head and said very dutifully: "This...Miss Lin, I..."

Knowing that Jia Yun was frightened, Wu Zhao smiled, and said in an easy-going manner, "Don't worry about it. Although I am older than you, you are older than me and have more experience... Besides, Now, it's because Uncle Zhen is unhappy that you're taking things from the Ningguo Mansion, so what's the matter with me?"

When Jia Yun listened, she didn't know what she was thinking. For a while, her hands and feet were cold with fright, and for a while, she felt that Sister Lin was joking with her.

Sitting on a chair, Wu Zhao rested his chin in one hand and played with Ningguo Mansion's pair of cards in the other. He said flatly, "Yun'er, I know you are a successful person in your heart. There is nothing wrong with being greedy. Just right, and harmless, isn't it?"

Jia Yun is a sensible person, so she thought about it immediately. It turned out that Sister Lin was beating herself. After all, from now on, Sister Lin will not be the main business of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Yun immediately said respectfully: "What Miss Lin said is exactly, Yun'er is a junior after all, she just ate a few years of food in vain, and she grew old in vain. If there is anything in the future, it's all up to Miss Lin. Can't be wrong."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I'm just willing to talk to smart people, it's refreshing."

Jia Yun quickly agreed, seeming to remember something, and said, "By the way, Miss Lin..."

But when he was talking, Jia Baoyu came over there, and when Jia Yun saw Jia Baoyu coming in, she immediately shut up, as if it was inconvenient for others to say more.

Today's funeral, how could Jia Baoyu not come, and he hadn't seen Sister Lin for a long time, so he was immediately happy about what happened, especially since he hadn't seen Sister Lin for nearly a month, so he naturally missed her very much.

Jia Baoyu's face was filled with joy, and he didn't remember the way he vomited blood and felt sad because of Qin Keqing's death.

Wu Zhao smiled coldly in his heart, but did not speak.

Jia Baoyu came in happily, and pulled someone along, that was Qin Keqing's younger brother, Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong was about the same age as Jia Baoyu, and neither of them studied. Things, together on weekdays can be regarded as congenial.

And this Qin Zhong, handsome, looks like a daughter's body, soft and shy, Jia Baoyu saw that he was handsome and had the temperament of a daughter, so she couldn't love him immediately. Since Qin Keqing passed away, Jia Baoyu was even more afraid of Qin Zhong being bullied , mixed together every day.

Qin Zhong walked in and saw Sister Lin at a glance. Because he didn't have a chance to see her on weekdays, when he saw her today and heard a lot of rumors, he was immediately shocked and stared at Wu Zhao as if he couldn't pull his eyes out.

Wu Zhao naturally noticed Qin Zhong's gaze, and didn't care, but Qin Zhong turned out to be a life-or-death master, and he looked even more wild and naked.

There was a flash of displeasure in Wu Zhao's eyes on that side, but Qin Zhong didn't notice it, nor did Jia Baoyu, but Jia Yun was very discerning, and immediately took a step, blocking Qin Zhong's sight without a trace.

Jia Baoyu was a stranger at first sight, but he was so handsome that he almost compared Qin Zhong to him, but he was more than gentle and didn't have the kind of daughter-in-law that Jia Baoyu loved to see.

When Jia Baoyu saw such a handsome character like Jia Yun, he was almost infatuated. He heard that it was Jia Yun. He had met him before, but he didn't know how many years ago.

Jia Yun said respectfully, "Uncle Bao."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, you are getting more and more handsome, I can't even recognize you, you look like my son."

Jia Baoyu looked four or five years younger than Jia Yun. After hearing this, Jia Yun was not angry. Instead, she followed Jia Baoyu's words and naturally diverted Jia Baoyu's attention.

Wu Zhao didn't want to make jokes with them, went out for the funeral, and today was his last day of work, so Quan Ying'er had to settle everything anyway.

The crowd quickly left the Ningguo Mansion, preparing for the funeral. Along the way, the streets were full of funeral bearers, four kings and eight lords, all set up funeral sheds, and each of them was competing for their own strength.

Wu Zhao followed the team, and the convoy stopped quickly. It turned out that the four princes and eight princes all sent people to deliver the funeral, and the king of Beijing alone came to deliver the funeral himself. He was sitting in a sedan chair waiting in front of the last colorful shed.

When Jia Zheng and his party saw this, they were so frightened that they all dismounted from their horses and sedan chairs, and hurried to meet the King of Beijing.

Jia Zheng also hurriedly asked his son Jia Baoyu to take off his mourning clothes, and went to greet him together. Wu Zhao was a female family member, she shouldn't have gone there, so she just waited where she was, and Jia Yun stood behind her, telling things respectfully, what was going on ahead? The place to rest, the farmhouse has been communicated and so on.

Wu Zhao nodded. During this spare time, Jia Baoyu's servant Mingyan rushed over, gasping for breath, and said, "Miss Lin, the king of Beijing County welcomes you!"

Wu Zhao's eyes moved, and he immediately took off the mourning clothes, and then walked over respectfully, bowed his head, stood not close, and respectfully saluted the King of Beijing.

The king of Beijing County has already stepped out of the sedan chair, wearing a silver-white five-clawed python robe, a silver-winged king's hat, and a thin jasper belt around his waist.

I really don't know what I don't know. I was startled, and the King of Beijing stood in the crowd, and he stood out more and more, as if he stood out from the crowd.

Wu Zhao greeted the king of Beijing County. The king of Beijing County smiled, with a gentle and easy look on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Miss Lin."

Wu Zhao lowered his head and said, "I don't know what the county king means, but the women are stupid."

The king of Beijing County smiled and said: "The Holy Father has decreed a few days ago that he will be transferred to Lantai doctor to remove the post of inspector and censor, and return to Beijing to serve as the left deputy capital censor."

When Wu Zhao heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Although she was not from this dynasty, she had been here for so long, and she generally understood a little. Officials are not because of the rank of the first rank, but because of the real power. The official position of Du Yushi is to exercise the power of supervision and can go directly to the heaven, so all the ministers in the court are afraid.

Among the inspectors, "Zuodu Censor, Youdu Censor, Left Deputy Capital Censor, Right Deputy Capital Censor" and so on were set up. These official positions are all to supervise the officials in the capital.

The position of Zuo Fudu Censor should be regarded as a third-rank official rank. Although it is a little lower than Lin Ruhai's official rank from the second rank before, it is not considered demoted. After all, he was transferred back to the capital from other places. A position of real power.

Everyone was at the side, and they were surprised when they heard it. They all stared at Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao was delighted that Lin Ruhai was really going back to the capital.

The King of Beijing continued: "The Holy Majesty's will is already on the way, and I will go to Yangzhou these days."

Wu Zhao quickly said, "Thank you, Prince."

The King of Beijing County smiled and said: "Miss is serious. Xiao Wang just passed on a message and talked about it. He has no credit. How can he bear the girl's thank you? If it is about thanking, Master Lin still has to thank himself." Now, in this officialdom, I am afraid that Master Lin is not as innocent as Master Lin, and the Holy Majesty ordered Master Lin to be the censor of the left deputy capital, which is also the meaning."

Wu Zhao naturally understands that Lin Ruhai is a rare and innocent official, and after so many years of being a patrolling censor, he still has a few pennies in cash, and he thinks Lin Ruhai is an idiot when he talks about it, but the official position of Zuo Fudu censor is also an offense. Human, in fact, Wu Zhao had mixed feelings in his heart, for fear that Lin Ruhai would offend someone again and be transferred out again.

But Wu Zhao thought again, now that he has himself, who is he afraid of Lin Ruhai offending?There is nothing to worry about.

After finishing speaking, the king of Beijing County said, "Also... there is a word, Xiao Wang wants to have a private talk with Miss Lin."

Jia Zheng next to him frowned, feeling uncomfortable, but Jia Zhen cooperated and asked everyone to stand far away, looking very attentive.

Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong stood a little further away, Jia Baoyu stretched his neck to look at it, and said, "You say this county king, what do you want to ask sister Lin for? Do you want to talk alone?"

Qin Zhong said: "I don't know about that, but...it seems that the county king may have a good impression of Sister Lin."

Jia Baoyu had heard this from more than one person, and Jia Rui, who was molesting Wu Zhao at the time, also said the same thing, and his heart suddenly flustered with jealousy.

Everyone on the other side walked away, Wu Zhao was still very respectful, not standing too close, and thanked King Beijing.

King Beijing smiled and said: "Miss Lin, you don't have to thank me for this, but... if you say thank you, Xiao Wang thinks of another thing. Miss Lin will definitely thank me."

Wu Zhao was a little hesitant, and raised his head to look at the King of Beijing. The King smiled. His face was so handsome, mixed with the warm winter brilliance, and coated with a gentle and affectionate halo for no reason. .

It's just that the king of Beijing County smiled a little creepy, and Wu Zhao just glanced at him secretly, but unexpectedly, he was bumped into by the king of Beijing County, and quickly lowered his head dutifully.

Wu Zhao said, "I don't know...what's the matter?"

King Beijing said: "About a month ago...Xiao Wang came back from the palace at dusk that day, and vaguely saw Jiao Da, a servant of Ningguo Mansion, blocking the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion in an alley. I don’t know what to do, I seem to have a note in my hand.”

When Wu Zhao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. How dare the king of Beijing County want to blackmail him?

Wu Zhao didn't speak, and the King of Beijing smiled and said, "Miss Lin, the second master Lian was still stretching his neck and begged Xiao Wang to save him. Xiao Wang was in a difficult situation at the time, so he just pretended that he didn't see anything. What do you say?" , Miss, should I thank Xiao Wang?"

Wu Zhao didn't know what the King of Beijing meant, so he immediately said, "Thank you, King of Beijing."

The king of Beijing seemed to be amused by her, and said, "Thank you so much?"

Wu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, he was sure that the king of the county wanted to rip him off, because he said, "Then according to the king of the county...?"

King Beijing said: "Miss Lin, don't worry about it. Xiao Wang is not a greedy person. He just wants to ask Miss Lin... for a favor."

Wu Zhao was suspicious in his heart, and felt more and more that he and the King of Beijing might be black-hearted. In this world, the most difficult thing to pay back is of course human favors. He is not afraid of IOUs written in black and white, but only in such ambiguous favors. Well, the Prince of Beijing is very calculating.

Wu Zhao hesitated, but King Beijing smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task, the girl agrees."

Wu Zhao was even more hesitant, feeling that the county king had set up a trick and was driving himself into the fire pit.

Wu Zhao laughed dryly, and said, "I don't know... what is this favor? The county king said straight away, if a woman can do it, she will definitely not shirk it."

The king of the county smiled lightly, his voice was rather hoarse and low, with strong magnetism, and said: "This...it's not too late to talk about it in the future, as long as the girl agrees now, it will definitely not be difficult, and it will be beneficial to the girl."

The more Wu Zhao listened to it, the more he felt that it was not a "good thing". Think about it, it's not difficult, and it's also good for him. The king of Beijing County is not stupid, who is so kind?

It's just that Wu Zhao has no other choice now. After all, the king of Beijing County just gave Lin Ruhai a great favor in front of everyone, and now he is holding Wu Zhao's braid. Wu Zhao has no backer, so he can only bite Gritting her teeth, she thought to herself, who has never suffered a loss, thinking that when I was not a queen, I was trampled on a lot, but who can get the real benefits?

Wu Zhao immediately gritted her back molars, and said with a half-hearted smile, "The county king's talk has come to this point, so the daughters of the people naturally dare not disobey."

The king of Beijing County laughed, it was the first time he laughed so frankly, and said: "Young lady is so bold, so it's settled."

Wu Zhao still felt that he had fallen into a trap. The king of Beijing County looked like a handsome young man, but he was actually a gray wolf with a coat, eating people without spitting out bones.

The two people over there had agreed, and the Prince of Beijing didn't pester him any more, nor did he say what the debt of favor was, so he returned to the sedan chair and was about to leave.

The king of Beijing was sent away, and everyone had to go to the funeral. Because Wu Zhao was not from the Jia family, he didn't have to go with him. He just sent him to the gate of the city. Jia Baoyu wanted Wu Zhao to go with him. There was a joke along the way. Yes, Wu Zhao didn't know, and didn't want to coax him, so he insisted on declining, saying that he was tired.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help it, and it was also because he was thinking that there was a mantou nunnery next to the Lingling place, and the little nun in the nunnery was smart, smart, and watery. She hadn't come to Jia's mansion for a long time. Jia Baoyu missed it so much and felt itchy. , simply abandoned Wu Zhao, and finally took Qin Zhong, mixed with a group of female relatives, and went out of the city.

It was rare for Wu Zhao to be free, and there was no one in the mansion, so she went back to Ningguo Mansion by herself in a sedan chair. She still had some final clues to sort out.

Wu Zhao walked in, and Zijuan Xueyan waited on him, when he heard the sound of "treading" footsteps, someone was coming, Wu Zhao didn't even need to raise his head, and said quietly: "Why is Yun'er here? Didn't you go with me?" stubborn?"

It was indeed Jia Yun who came in over there, saluted respectfully, and said: "Because Yun'er was thinking in her heart, although the funeral is over today, there are still some trivial matters that need to be sorted out. Miss Lin is also there .”

As Jia Yun said, she took out some notes that had been written long ago from her bosom, and each note was very regular, and she made a summary of the details and money records.

Zijuan presented it to Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao took a look at it. Jia Yun was a good hand and saved her own effort. This thing can be shown to Uncle Zhen directly. It is also considered that this month, Wu Zhao managed it in Ningguo Mansion. certificate.

Wu Zhao put the note aside, looked at Jia Yun, smiled, and said, "Yun'er still has something to say, so let's just say it."

Jia Yun looked around, seemed to be jealous of Zijuan and Xueyan, and said, "Can Miss Lin please turn away from the left and right?"

Wu Zhao smiled again and didn't speak, but raised his hand and waved, Zijuan hesitated, but still led all the snow geese back out, standing on the front steps, watching the cats and dogs playing.

Jia Yun waited for the two girls to leave, and then said respectfully: "Actually, my nephew has something to tell Miss Lin, and I also heard about it from Yun'er's neighbor, Ni Er."

Ni Er is a gangster who commits usury, idles around all day long, drinking and making troubles, but because of making money, he has a lot of contacts and eyes and ears. Yesterday Ni Er was drunk, so Jia Yun bumped into him, and casually snorted After a few words, Jia Yun listened.

Jia Yun lowered her voice and said, "Yun'er heard that the eldest girl from the Xue family who was up for election earlier seems to be losing the election because of... family relations."

When Wu Zhao heard this, it turned out that this was the case. In fact, she knew in her heart that the Xue family was prosperous, and Aunt Xue wanted to send Xue Baochai into the palace for a second Yuanchun, but Aunt Xue didn't think about it. , To put it nicely, they are united, but to put it badly, they form cliques for personal gain, can the Holy One strengthen their arrogance again?Naturally, Xue Baochai will not be selected, and losing the election is inevitable.

Wu Zhao didn't speak, and didn't do his own business.

Jia Yun lowered her voice even more, and said something later: "Yun'er also heard that the king of Beijing County is now a weak crown, but there is no concubine in the mansion, not even a concubine, so the sage... It seems I'm going to point out a marriage to the county king..."

Hearing this, Wu Zhao moved his eyes, looked at Jia Yun, and Jia Yun also looked at Wu Zhao, and said faintly, "Miss Lin guessed right, the one the Holy Majesty wants to point to is the eldest girl of the Xue family. You want to point that Miss Xue to the king of Beijing County to be his concubine!"
