Little Lady of the Red Chamber

Since childhood, Jinshang has been a man with a plan in his mind. Back then, the crown prince's position was still stable, and Tu Yuancheng was favored by the emperor. There is no comparison among the princes, but he was able to win the battle between the two of them with no emotion. Gaining profit, it can be seen that he is a person with a plan in his heart.

Lin Hainai is one of the emperor's confidantes. He is in charge of the Yanzheng in the south of the Yangtze River. He has thought about abolishing the prince and loyalty, but he has failed. He can sit firmly in the position of Yanzheng for several years. Just looking at the trust of the emperor, there is also the ability to be an official.It's just that he prefers the people he cultivated than using the emperor's confidants.If it weren't for Yuan Rui's matter, Lin Hai would have no possibility of returning to Beijing, and the best ending would be to lose his official position.

The emperor had a few thoughts in his mind, but on his face he wore a king's mask and smiled at each other, showing sympathy for his courtiers.Lin Hai also has a loyal face, and he plays all kinds of things in the south of the Yangtze River.It looks like a monarch and his ministers get each other, and those who don't know about it probably think so.

It's just that he knows what's going on inside. "Lin Qing is saying that someone has meddled in the affairs of the salt administration. Is there any evidence for reselling private salt?" The emperor's tone was calm, and no anger could be heard, but those close to him knew that His Majesty was already angry, so they lowered their heads.

Lin Hai only said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent. Under the investigation, the arrested person committed suicide. Fortunately, he got an account book, but the records in it are not complete. I am afraid it cannot be used as evidence. Your Majesty still needs to send someone to investigate." He took out an account book and presented it with both hands.The servant immediately took it and forwarded it to the imperial court.

The emperor didn't look at it, but murmured: "These people are bold and reckless, but they can't blame Lin Qing. If everyone in the court is like Lin Qing, I will have no worries."

"Your Majesty is ashamed to accept it, and I should share the worries for His Majesty!" Lin Hai knelt down and said.

"Lin Qing, please hurry up. I will send another person to take over this matter. Lin Qing will work by boat and car, and you can go back to the mansion to rest first. It will not be too late to take office in a few days. Lin Qing has made such great achievements, and I should be rewarded. I don't know if you are missing. What?" The emperor laughed.

Lin Hai thanked again, "This is the duty of a courtier, how dare you ask for a reward. There is only one thing, and Rong Chen will report it."

"allow!"

"The youngest daughter of the minister has the blue eyes of the sage and betrothed to the son of the Prince of Yong'an. However, the daughter of the minister is young and has no virtue. She is really unfit for the son. I respectfully request the holy judge to find another good marriage for the son." Lin Hai said slowly.

"Lin Qing should know that you are not joking. The marriage has been completed under the imperial decree. There is no need to mention this matter. Lin Qing was also born in Tanhua back then. How could she belittle her own daughter?" The emperor smiled lightly, but dismissed Lin Hai's plan.

Lin Hai's eyes darkened when he heard the words, but fortunately, he just tried it and didn't expect much.Therefore, following the holy will, he no longer just said: "Your Majesty praises me, I am ashamed to accept it."

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Ruizhi is my cousin. He is very good-natured and talented. Such a son-in-law, Lin Qing is not at a loss." With a joking intention, it was clear that Lin Hai had to rest his thoughts .However, the emperor also had a sense of watching the excitement, seeing Yuan Rui's meaning, he was satisfied with this marriage, but he didn't know that such a father-in-law could bear it.

Lin Haifu humbled himself a few more words, and then asked for instructions to go to pay his respects to the emperor. He was once a confidant of the emperor, and it was reasonable. The emperor immediately agreed, and pointed out another servant to send him over.

Lin Haifang Xie En withdrew, and went to the Longevity Palace with his servants to pay homage to the emperor. There is no need to elaborate on the internal affairs, but the emperor doubted whether Lin Hai would vote for the present, so he was reluctant to say anything, and only used words to beat and test.Lin Hai naturally expressed his loyalty secretly, and dared not make omissions.

When he got out of the palace gate, Lin Hai's back was already soaked and his whole body was exhausted. Fortunately, his family members were waiting at the palace gate. When he saw his master came out, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him into the sedan chair.

"Is the master going back to the house?"

Lin Hai got into the sedan chair, closed his eyes for a while, and then opened his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, "Go home."

Tu Yuanrui went out of the palace and returned to the mansion, first went to Chen Wangfei.They wanted to say hello to their mother and concubine, and they also had to discuss the affairs of the Lin family. Lin Hai's early return to Beijing caught them by surprise.

He stepped into the courtyard door just because he didn't want to, and he heard shouts, which clearly belonged to his third brother Yuan Yang.Tu Yuanrui raised his eyebrows, Brother Yang became more and more outrageous.But before he could yell at him, he heard a series of crisp laughter, it was Yu'er!

After swallowing the prepared reprimand, Tu Yuanrui walked into the courtyard slowly, and waved his hand to signal the saluting maidservant to silence. When he stepped into the room, he saw Xiao Yuer and Brother Yang sitting opposite each other, with a A game of chess, the concubine mother just watched with a smile, such a beautiful scene, Tu Yuanrui suddenly felt a little displeased.Especially seeing the smile on Xiao Yuer's face.

With a light cough, everyone in the room turned around.After the meal, Brother Yang pestered Daiyu to play chess again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so Daiyu obeyed him, Princess Chen became very interested when she heard this, she used to love to play chess, but this chess skill At first, some people in the mansion stayed with them, but later they refused to accompany them. Whenever they heard that the princess wanted to play chess, they had to find an excuse to leave. Princess Chen got annoyed and simply threw away her hand.Now that I heard that Daiyu can play chess, I naturally want to see it.

Brother Yang and Daiyu are both young, if you say that their chess skills are only between brothers, they are not so superb, only Daiyu has always been a quiet person, but Brother Yang is more impetuous.Therefore, the chess game is only half, and the outcome has already been decided.

Seeing that he couldn't win, Brother Yang was naturally more anxious, and the appearance of jumping up and down made everyone laugh.Daiyu also pursed her lips and smiled, trying to persuade Brother Yang to calm down and think carefully.It was really a group of harmony and suddenly heard the sound, when she turned her head and saw Tu Yuanrui, the smile on the corner of Daiyu's mouth faded slightly, and she got up to greet her.

"Mother concubine!"

"Big brother!"

"When did you come back, have you had lunch yet?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

Tu Yuanrui smiled and said: "I just came back, and the imperial grandmother stayed for dinner." His eyes turned to Daiyu.

Daiyu said softly, "My son is well!"

Tu Yuanrui nodded with a smile and said, "Yu'er loves to play chess, I have a few chess records, and I will send them to you later."

When the words fell, Tu Yuanyang laughed, "I asked for it a few times, but the elder brother didn't give it to me. It turned out to be..." His eyes went back and forth between Yuan Rui and Daiyu, and then turned to Chen Wangfei, "Mother, the elder brother doesn't love me." gone."

Concubine Chen was naturally happy to see the relationship between Yuan Rui and Daiyu come to fruition, she patted her youngest son on the head with a smile and said: "It's just nonsense, your elder brother didn't find any of your treasures for you."

Tu Yuanyang rubbed his head and smiled, but didn't care.On the other hand, a rosy glow flew across Daiyu's face, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only softly say: "Thank you, my lord!"

After talking and joking a few more words, Daiyu saw that Tu Yuanrui seemed to have something important to say to the princess, so she found a way to say goodbye first, and when Daiyu left, Princess Chen sent her youngest son to go out too.Only then did he ask about Tu Yuanrui's situation in the palace today.

Yong'an Palace enjoys the wealth and splendor in the world, so naturally it can't get rid of the power struggle of the royal family, one is the elder brother and the other is the nephew, Yong'an Palace must balance the two.

Tu Yuanrui only briefly mentioned the affairs in the palace, he naturally didn't want to talk too much with his mother and concubine about the affairs in the court, but he mentioned a few more words about the empress dowager's attitude towards Daiyu.Concubine Chen naturally understands, there is rarely any dissatisfaction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not to mention her mother-in-law is the most honorable woman in the world.

If it is said that she and the Empress Dowager only agree on two things, it is King Yongan and the eldest son Tu Yuanrui.At other times, it was mostly due to disagreements, so Concubine Chen rarely entered the palace, so as not to offend the Empress Dowager and embarrass her husband and son.

At the end of the day, Tu Yuanrui said: "I happened to hear the report from the servant in the imperial study today that my father-in-law has returned to Beijing."

"So fast, doesn't it mean that there are at least two or three days left?" Concubine Chen was also surprised.

"I think I rushed back day and night. When I returned to the mansion just now, I sent someone to inquire about the news, and I sent another person to deliver a message to the Lin family. I will come to visit tomorrow." Tu Yuanrui frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

"Your father-in-law has returned to Beijing, where is Yu'er?" Concubine Chen speculated about the meaning of the eldest son, as if she didn't want Daiyu to know, she was surprised and worried.

Tu Yuanrui calmed down his eyebrows, and only smiled lightly: "Mother and concubine are worrying too much, I didn't intend to hide it from Yu'er, it's just that my father-in-law just returned to Beijing and I don't know all about it, so I might as well go see him tomorrow. "He didn't know much about Lin Hai, but he only had a brief conversation with Daiyu, and he knew that this father was very important to Yu'er.It's not because of his villainous heart, but he really doesn't want Yu'er to be hurt again, especially from close relatives.

After hearing this, Princess Chen pondered for a while and said: "Since this is the case, I will tell your father and king in the evening that I will go with you tomorrow."

Since the concubine mother has made up her mind, Tu Yuanrui naturally has nothing to do.

The mother and son talked again, and Tu Yuanrui resigned. Naturally, he couldn't come empty-handed for the first time. Concubine Chen called the steward to draw up the gift list.

Neither the mother nor the son noticed. When the two were talking, a maid outside wanted to come in to add water, but when she heard this, she stopped and waited for a while. She didn't come in, but turned around and left the yard.
