[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

It was the next day that Jiazi learned that Prince Teng had died.She never expected that Wang Ziteng, who thought he was a hero, lived his whole life, but finally died in a small place called Shilitun, and it is estimated that he was still working as his majestic prime minister before his death. Liang Meimeng.

"The Wang family is over." Jia Zi shook his head and sighed softly: "I always thought that the Xue family should be the first to fall among Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families, but I didn't expect it to be the Wang family." Of course, This Jia family does not refer to the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion, but Jia's mother and Rongguo Mansion, which are now Jia Zheng's family.

It's no wonder that Jia Zi couldn't believe it. After all, among Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families, the Xue family had the lowest status and the weakest power.However, the Wang family has gradually risen due to the continuous promotion of Wang Ziteng over the years, and has become the most prestigious family among the four.Therefore, Jiazi always thought that the Xue family should be the first to perish among the four. He never expected that Prince Teng, who was in his prime, would die suddenly.Wang Ziteng is the pillar of the Wang family. Once he dies, the Wang family will be over.

"What?" Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose in a funny way: "You feel sorry for the Wang family?" Lin Hai knew very well that Jiazi had no affection for the Wang family or Wang Ziteng at all, so naturally he had no sympathy.Therefore, seeing Jiazi's emotional expression when he heard the news of Wang Ziteng's death, Lin Hai was naturally a little strange: he thought Jiazi would clap his hands and applaud him when he heard the news!

Jiazi slapped Lin Hai angrily: "Why do I feel that the Wang family is pitiful? I am obviously a cat crying... Uh, no, I mean, I am just feeling a little bit emotional, why do I feel that the Wang family is pitiful? It's pitiful, there are so many poor families, who will get the Wang family? Haven't you heard: The East China Sea lacks a white jade bed, and the Dragon King invited the King of Jinling. The Wang family is powerful and rich, how pitiful?"

In fact, Jiazi is really not the poor Wang family or Wang Ziteng.However, after all, she and Wang Ziteng have known each other since childhood. Even if their relationship has never been good, they have known each other for more than thirty years.Now when he first heard the news of Wang Ziteng's death, Jiazi couldn't help but feel a kind of impermanence in the world: just at the last moment, Wang Ziteng was still dreaming of being a first-class official and wearing a boa robe, but the next second has already passed Naihe Bridge, there is no turning back.

When Lin Hai heard Jiazi almost blurting out that he was a "crying cat and a fake merciful mouse", he couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly, "Did you say that about yourself?

Jiazi blinked, pretending to be confused, and said, "How can I tell myself, why don't I know?" Jiazi tilted his head and looked at Lin Hai, with a look of "I don't know what I said", obviously You are denying what you just said.

"Yes, you didn't say anything." Lin Hai gently squeezed Jiazi's hand, blinked at Jiazi, and said with a smile: "I said the cat cried and the mouse, the head office is okay?"

Jia Zi glanced at Lin Hai reproachfully, and couldn't help but push Lin Hai: "Why do you talk so much?" Jia Zi suddenly realized that Lin Hai's words were just trying to set her up, no matter how she answered the words, she would never stop talking. It's tantamount to indirectly admitting that the emotion I just felt was fake compassion.

Lin Hai hugged Jia Zi in his arms with a smile, and did not tease Jia Zi any more.

"Okay," Lin Hai whispered into Jia Zi's ear, "How did Wang Ziteng die? The court's residence report will explain it soon. We don't need to think about other things."

Wang Ziteng is the incoming cabinet scholar, and his death cannot be silent.Therefore, there will definitely be an explanation in the court's residence newspaper.

"I know." Jia Zi nodded with a smile, lowered his voice and approached Lin Hai: "Don't worry, anyway, I will believe what the mansion newspaper says."

In fact, Jiazi knew early on that the cause of Wang Ziteng's death was not simple. His death was a conspiracy: Wang Ziteng practiced martial arts since he was a child.What's more, he is a cabinet scholar who is about to return to Beijing to take office, and he must have a large number of guards around him, and he will also be accompanied by a doctor with superb medical skills, in case he encounters bandits or sudden illness on the way back to Beijing.However, he died suddenly.There must be something strange in this.

However, Jia Zi would not be so stupid as to spare the prince's head: how did Prince Teng die, it was none of her business at all.Even if his death was strange, it had nothing to do with Jazi.

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Hai couldn't help showing a knowing smile: Although Jiazi was also suspicious of Prince Teng's death, he was willing to believe the explanation in the court newspaper, this is the best way.

How could Lin Hai not be able to guess what Jazi could guess.From the moment he heard the news of Wang Ziteng's death, he knew that there must be something else hidden about this matter: Wang Ziteng was in his prime and had no hidden illness, so how could he suddenly die on the way back to Beijing?

Moreover, Lin Hai also guessed who was the one who secretly harmed Wang Ziteng: the emperor.The emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, his suspicions are getting worse, and his desire to control power is getting stronger and stronger.As for Prince Teng, who he single-handedly promoted, but now turned to the side of the new emperor, how could the emperor let him go?What's more, the emperor's move can also serve as a warning to the monkeys: to warn those noble families who intend to surrender to the new emperor, if they dare to have a different heart, he can kill them at any time.

The death of Wang Ziteng did not have any impact on Jiazi and Lin Hai, but to Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families, it was like a bolt from the blue: Wang Ziteng is the core figure of the four families, one of the four major families. The pillar of the family, the loss that his death brought to the four major families is absolutely immeasurable.

Since Wang Ziteng and his wife had no children, his nephew Wang Ren was not in the capital either.Therefore, in the end Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu to a small place called Shilitun more than two hundred miles away, and took Wang Ziteng's coffin back to the Wang family in the capital.As for Wang Ziteng's other nephew, Xue Pan, he didn't know where he went.

And Jia Zi also knew the cause of Wang Ziteng's death from the imperial court's mansion newspaper: he caught wind and cold in a hurry, took medicine by mistake, and finally died in Shilitun.

Of course, this result also made many people dumbfounded: Wang Ziteng is an incoming cabinet scholar, how could he not be accompanied by a doctor?Besides, even if he didn't have a doctor to accompany him, how could he be killed because of a simple wind and cold?

However, everyone tacitly chose to remain silent about this result: no matter how Wang Ziteng died, it has nothing to do with them.What's more, if Prince Teng died, the position of prime minister would be vacant. Maybe they or colleagues who had a good relationship with them would have a chance because of this?

Wang Ziteng's funeral was held in the capital, and his elder brother Wang Zisheng's family was rushing to the capital.Although Mrs. Wang Ziteng fell ill because of the sudden blow, after all, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were still there, and Jia Zheng was outside.Even if Wang Zisheng is absent, Wang Ziteng's funeral can still be held in a splendid manner.

However, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were very worried about who should guard the spirit: Wang Ziteng had no children, so his nephew Wang Ren should have guarded the spirit.However, Wang Ren was on his way to the capital, and Wang Ziteng's body couldn't be left there waiting for Wang Ren to come over.

In the end, it was Jia Zheng who suggested that Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan should guard Prince Teng's spirit.After discussing it with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang agreed to this matter: the two of them are Wang Ziteng's nephews, and it would make sense for them to guard Wang Ziteng's spirit.

For Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng's self-assessment, Jia's mother was naturally unwilling: Jia Baoyu has been weak since she was a child, so how can she bear it?Wang Ziteng is just Jia Baoyu's uncle, not Jia Baoyu's father. Why does Jia Baoyu work so hard to guard the spirit for him?Even if the Wang family were dead, it would not be Jia Baoyu's turn to guard Prince Teng's spirit.

However, Jia Baoyu is the biological son of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng after all.Parents don't feel sorry for Jia Baoyu anymore, so what if Jia's mother feels sorry for her?What's more, Jia Baoyu did such a thing before, which made him notorious, and he could just take this opportunity to save some reputation and face.

After such a calculation, Jia's mother agreed to let Jia Baoyu go to guard the spirit of the prince.As for Jia Baoyu, no matter whether he is willing to guard the spirit for the prince or not, since Jia Zheng has given the order, he has to kneel in the mourning hall in sackcloth and mourning to guard the spirit for the prince.

Therefore, when Jia Zi and Lin Hai arrived, they immediately saw a dejected Jia Baoyu kneeling there in sackcloth.As for Wang Ziteng's other nephew Xue Pan, he disappeared.

"Aunt Zi," Jia Baoyu greeted Jia Zi and Lin Hai quickly, "Uncle Lin, you are here." Jia Baoyu stretched his neck and looked behind the two of them as if looking for something.However, seeing the empty space behind the two people, without the figure he had been looking forward to, Jia Baoyu couldn't help sighing in disappointment: Sure enough, he was locked at home again.

Seeing that Jia Zi and Lin Hai had finished offering incense to the prince and turned to leave, Jia Baoyu pursed his lips and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Aunt Zi, Lin..."

In fact, Jia Baoyu went to the Lin Mansion to look for Lin Daiyu more than once during these days, but in most cases, he didn't even go in the Lin Mansion's door a few times.Even if he was lucky enough to enter the gate of the Lin Mansion, Lin Hui always came out to entertain him.Moreover, every time he couldn't say a few words, before he could ask about Lin Daiyu, Lin Hui brought tea to see off the guests.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu decided that Jia Zi and Lin Hai must be too busy, so Lin Hui restrained Lin Daiyu and did not let her go out.Now that Jia Baoyu finally saw Jiazi and Lin Hai, he planned to talk to them about this matter: They can't let Lin Hui keep Lin Daiyu at home like they are now, they should let Lin Daiyu go out often Go, get together with the sisters of Rongguo Mansion, talk about poetry and painting, and have fun over wine.

As soon as Jia Zi saw Jia Baoyu's hesitant expression, he knew what Jia Baoyu wanted to say, and he couldn't help but give Jia Baoyu a warning look: If Jia Baoyu really dares to say something here, Sister Lin's long, Sister Lin's short What... Jia Zi put her hand lightly on the whip around her waist, she didn't mind using the whip to teach Jia Baoyu to shut up.

Jia Baoyu mustered up his courage and wanted to tell Jiazi and Lin Hai about Lin Daiyu.But when Jia Zi stared at him with killing intent, he couldn't help shivering, felt a chill for some reason, and couldn't help swallowing the words that were on the verge of his mouth.

Seeing Jia Baoyu shrugging back to the original kneeling position, Jiazi raised the corners of his mouth in disdain, walked aside with Lin Hai, and chatted with his colleagues who came to pay respects to Prince Teng.Although Jia Zi really wanted to drag Lin Hai away immediately, but there were still many court officials here, and it was hard for Jia Zi to turn around and leave without even saying hello.

Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Zi and Lin Hai standing side by side talking and laughing with everyone, and didn't look at him again, so he couldn't help touching the cold sweat on his neck, and said nah, "Obviously everyone is relatives. Well, how can you hold Sister Lin and insist on not letting her come over? Sigh, Sister Lin must want to come out to play. "

However, most of the people who came to pay homage to Prince Teng had their own small circles, and after they came, they all got together in twos and threes, chatting casually.Xue Pan never showed up, and Jia Zheng was too busy socializing and making connections. No one paid any attention to Jia Baoyu who was kneeling there.

After a while, Prince Zhongming came on behalf of the new emperor.It was impossible for the new emperor to come to Wang Ziteng's funeral in person, so he sent his younger brother, Prince Zhongming, to pay homage to Wang Ziteng on his behalf: In any case, Wang Ziteng is also a cabinet scholar he personally appointed, even if it is just superficial , but also to do something.

Lin Hai knew very well in his heart that the reason why the new emperor named Wang Ziteng as a cabinet scholar was not because he trusted Wang Ziteng so much, but because he had just disposed of the Zhen family, so he used Wang Ziteng to appease the emperor's anger: After all, Prince Teng came from a noble family, and was once the emperor's most valued courtier.Making Wang Ziteng a cabinet scholar, presumably should satisfy the emperor!However, it is estimated that the new emperor never expected that Wang Ziteng would die like this.

After offering incense to the prince, Prince Zhongming walked over directly, chatting casually with Jiazi, Lin Hai and others.However, before everyone could say a few words, they heard a bang from outside, as if something heavy had fallen down.

Jia Zi and Lin Hai looked at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the source of the sound.Since the sound source was not far from Wang Ziteng's mourning hall, it was only a few steps away.However, Jazi never imagined that there would be such an absurd scene next to the fallen flower shelf.

Seeing the naked men hugging each other in the corner, Lin Hai's first reaction was to cover Jiazi's eyes: Jiazi must not see such an offensive scene.

Lin Hai covered Jiazi's eyes with one hand, supported Jiazi's arm with the other, and walked out against the adults who rushed over, Xue Pan was still pressed down on his body, full of spring.Thinking of the scene he saw just now, Lin Hai felt nauseated and unconcealable anger: He never thought that Xue Pan would be so absurd that he would do it at his own uncle's funeral. Come up with something like this.

As for the court officials who rushed over when they heard the sound of the flower shelf falling, they were all stunned in shock when they saw the entangled people in front of them, completely forgetting their proper reaction.

According to common sense, these officials are also married people, no matter how bad they are, they also have maidservants, and even many people have male pets in their homes, so they should not be frightened by such a scene.However, this is Wang Ziteng's funeral after all.They couldn't believe that someone would do such a shameless thing at Wang Ziteng's funeral: Could it be that those people couldn't bear it even for a little while?Even if they couldn't bear it, even if they just found a woodshed, it would be better than being in broad daylight.

After hearing the news, Jia Zheng squeezed in with great difficulty. Seeing Xue Pan do such a thing at Wang Ziteng's funeral, he was so angry that his eyes went dark, and he fell down: he finally borrowed Wang Ziteng's help The good reputation gained by the funeral was all ruined by Xue Pan, a dead boy.

"Hurry up and pull them down." In the end, someone couldn't help it anymore, and ordered the servants of the Wang family around him in a cold voice to hurry over and pull Xue Pan and the others away.

The angry voice finally brought Xue Pan back from his confusion.He pushed away Shan Pinren who was still pressing on him, and hurriedly took the clothes around him to block in front of him, and at the same time ruthlessly kicked Cheng Rixing and Hu Silai who were still hugging each other.Cheng Rixing and Hu Silai hadn't realized what happened. After being kicked away by Xue Pan, their eyes were still blurred, and they didn't even care to hide their bodies.

The servants of the Wang family rushed up one after another, surrounded Xue Pan and the others with their clothes, and dragged them down.Of course, the servants of the Wang family were also full of disdain for Xue Pan: it was even more absurd and shameless than Wang Ren.Even Wang Ren would not do such a thing in broad daylight.

It wasn't until Xue Pan was dragged down by the servants of the Wang family that the adults who were frightened by this absurd scene came to their senses: Absurd, really absurd, there is nothing more unworthy of descendants than this.

Lin Hai covered Jiazi's eyes all the way back to the hall: such an incredible thing happened just now, he naturally had to protect Jiazi well, and beware of what she saw that she shouldn't see.It was not until he walked back to the hall safely that Lin Hai let go of his hand.

"Why?" Jiazi raised the corner of his mouth and pinched Lin Hai's chin lightly: "Can I open my eyes?"

Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose in a funny way: "I am doing it for your own good. Seeing such a scene, I am afraid that you will have nightmares at night. But, do you trust me that much?" Lin Hai knew that Jiazi had heard what he had just heard. Therefore, there is no intention to hide anything.However, Lin Hai was very happy when he thought of Jiazi just letting him cover his eyes and follow him.

"Of course." Jiazi said with a smile, "I don't trust you, who do I trust?"

Prince Zhongming followed the other adults back to the hall in a daze, and when he came, he saw Jiazi and Lin Hai leaning close to each other and whispering.Compared with what he saw just now, Prince Zhongming suddenly found that Jiazi and Lin Hai were more eye-catching.Therefore, Prince Zhongming greeted the people next to him, and walked towards Jia Zi and Lin Hai in the corner.

Prince Zhongming laughed teasingly: "You two are still so sweet that people are enviable."

The relationship between Lin Hai and Jia Zi has always been the object of ridicule by many people.Therefore, Lin Hai didn't care about Prince Zhongming's ridicule, instead he said with a smile: "The prince is joking."

Looking at the undisguised pride in Lin Hai's eyes, Prince Zhongming couldn't help feeling a little funny——Lin Hai always gave the impression of being gentle, courteous, and gentle, but who would have thought that there would be such a side: "You can be proud."

"What happened just now..." After hesitating for a while, Prince Zhongming still asked, "What's going on? Are those people servants of the palace?" The clothes of the servants, especially one of them is sackcloth.It's just that Prince Zhongming couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing at Wang Ziteng's funeral - even if it was a cold tea, there was no need to take Wang Ziteng seriously anymore.But in matters of face, it is always passable.What's more, Wang Ziteng hasn't had his funeral yet!

Although Prince Zhongming had heard about the absurdity of the Guixun family, he had never seen it with his own eyes.Therefore, regarding the scene just now, Prince Zhongming was really irritated enough.Even now, his heart is still full of nausea.

Lin Hai sighed: "One of those people just now was Xue Pan." Even if Lin Hai didn't tell, someone else would tell Prince Zhongming what Xue Pan did.Therefore, Lin Hai simply said it directly.

"What?" Prince Zhongming opened his eyes involuntarily: "Then he is Wang Ziteng's nephew?" Although Prince Zhongming didn't know Xue Pan, he also knew that Wang Ziteng had no children and his only nephew was not in the capital. The funeral was presided over by his brother-in-law Jia Zheng, and his two nephews were kneeling next to the coffin: one was the famous Jia Baoyu, and the other was Xue Pan.

However, Prince Zhongming never expected that Xue Pan would do such a thing at Prince Teng's funeral.His younger brother Zhongxiao is absurd enough, but it has never been so absurd: his uncle Zhen Yingjia died, even if it was pretending, Zhongxiao has been honest for a month - even though Zhongxiao is the emperor's younger brother , there is no need to keep filial piety for Zhen Yingjia, a sinner.

Just when Prince Zhongming was so angry with Xue Pan's absurdity that he didn't know what to say, Xue Pan himself was also upset about how such a thing happened.

Although Xue Pan was absurd, he still knew what kind of occasion it was today.Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, it was impossible for him to do such a thing on an occasion like today.Not to mention he's still the one down there.

Just when Xue Pan was annoyed, Aunt Xue burst in weeping, and as soon as she entered the door, she hugged Xue Pan and cried: "My son!"

Aunt Xue also came here in a hurry after hearing about what happened earlier.Although Aunt Xue felt ashamed and angry when she heard that Xue Pan would do such a thing, but when she heard that the flower shelf fell down, she was so frightened that she lost her soul, fearing that Xue Pan would be hit.

"Mother," Xue Pan rubbed his temples, and found that his brain seemed to hurt even more: "Why are you crying?"

"You little beast." When she heard that Xue Pan was fine, Aunt Xue immediately became angry: "Are you talking about what you are doing? How could you do this? You clearly know that today is your uncle's funeral, you Doing such a thing, can you be worthy of your uncle?"

Xue Pan was upset at first, but seeing Aunt Xue crying and fussing, he became even more impatient, and even the strange feeling in his heart disappeared: "Why is it not a human thing? I didn't kill and set fire Yes. Uncle? Hmph, why didn’t he see how much he wanted to see my nephew when he was powerful and powerful? Now that he is dead, I am willing to wear a sackcloth belt and guard the mourning hall for him, and I am already very worthy of him.”

Xue Pan was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Wang Ziteng's strong support for Jia Yuanchun's entry into the palace but ignoring Xue Baochai.He felt that it was because Wang Ziteng, his uncle, was eccentric that Xue Baochai was reduced to where he is today.Otherwise, with Xue Baochai's talent and appearance, if she enters the palace, she will definitely be favored.Even if it is the mother of the country, it may not be impossible.

Aunt Xue was overwhelmed by Xue Pan's attitude.However, she didn't blame Xue Pan, instead she hated Shan Pinren and Cheng Rixing: If they hadn't shamelessly seduced Xue Pan, how could Xue Pan do such a ridiculous thing?

The author has something to say: the scene with hot eyes, poor fool Xue

small theater:

Wang Ziteng: I don’t want to die with my eyes closed, that’s what I said

Mrs. Wang: Compared with this, my Baoyu is really not ashamed

Aunt Xue: Damn Shan Pinren, how dare you bully my Pan'er like this

Lin Hai: Do your eyes hurt?
