Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

"You want to?" Lin Ruhai held Jia Min's hand instead, staring at her closely, "If you really want to go back, I will take care of your body."

Jia Min shook her eyelashes with teardrops, lowered her eyes and nodded.Although she is more than 30 years old, she is well maintained, her skin is fair and wrinkled, and when she sheds tears, she looks like a lotus flower swaying in the rain, which makes people feel distressed.

Lin Ruhai suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Jia Min, and pulled her hand even tighter.

"I failed to raise my brother and let the Lin family continue the incense. I am a sinner of the Lin family. I am sorry to the ancestors of the Lin family!" After Jia Min said, she threw herself into Lin Ruhai's arms and cried bitterly.

"If you have no children, don't force it, so don't worry about it. Besides, at our age, even though we are older, there is no guarantee that we will still be able to..." Lin Ruhai patted Jia Min on the back, comforting her while thinking in his heart Breathe a sigh of relief.It's a good thing that she can say these words and cry happily, otherwise I don't know what disaster will happen if I keep holding them in my heart.

Daiyu was waiting outside in the arms of the nanny. At a young age, she listened to the intermittent cries and conversations in the room, so she somehow understood why.She grabbed the nurse's shoulder with the hammer and swore secretly that she would be more filial to her parents in the future.

Lin Ruhai used to think about going to Beijing to display his ambitions, but after staying in Yangzhou, he gradually gave up the idea, and no longer wanted to go to the capital and other places of right and wrong.But now he just got an opportunity to go to Beijing, and his wife is overly sad because of the loss of her son and needs comfort from her family.

It might all be destiny.

Lin's family is a single household in Yangzhou, and they have no relatives to keep in touch with. If they go to the capital, they can support each other with Jia's family, which is not a bad thing.

After Lin Ruhai made up his mind, he immediately added a reply letter, asking Yan Liang to help him pay attention to the news about his promotion and transfer.As Lin Ruhai wrote and wrote the letter, he felt puffed up in his heart.Which man doesn't want to show his fists in the court?Lin Ruhai had such thoughts when he was young, but after staying in Yangzhou City for more than ten years, he almost forgot his previous ambitions.But if he had the chance to fight for it this time, he would definitely fight for it.

As for Mother Jia's letter, Lin Ruhai handed it to Jia Min, and let her handle it without asking questions.

Jia Min also knew that her mother was a little late in replying this time, but after all, it was her own mother, and she had just passed away her grandson, so it was reasonable for the old lady to be unable to read for a while.Jia Min only briefly talked about the situation here, and then told Jia's mother that Lin Ruhai might be entrusted with being an official in Beijing.

The two letters were put together and sent to Rongning and Ningfu in the capital.

……

The exams for the Ministry of Officials were almost over, and Yan Liang was finally free these two days, but was suddenly called into the palace by Concubine Song.It stands to reason that concubines in the harem are not allowed to meet foreign ministers casually, but this Song noble concubine has already obtained the emperor's permission, and when Yan Liang meets, the seventh prince An, the seventh prince born to the noble concubine, will also accompany him.

This was Yan Liang's first official meeting with King An. They met once when they were giving out porridge in the north alley, but King An didn't declare his identity, and ran away after losing his temper for no reason.Later, there were two possible meetings, but they were replaced by Qi Shengao.This person appeared unexpectedly at first, but later he was ready to face him, but this guy hid his head and didn't dare to see him, and made it more and more mysterious, so Yan Liang was really curious about this man. What kind of tricks is Prince An playing?

Before meeting King An at the gate of the palace today, Yan Liang was silent all the way, thinking about all the strange things about Prince An and wondering why.

As soon as Yan Liang's carriage arrived at the meeting point, he heard a slightly dissatisfied voice from outside the carriage.

"My lord has been waiting for a long time!"

Yan Liang left the house an hour earlier, and he was very sure that he was here earlier than the agreed time.

Yan Liang got out of the car with a cold face, the boy was still dissatisfied with Yan Liang's attitude, he snorted softly, shook off his sleeves, and led Yan Liang to Duan Gaohan's carriage.

It is a rare thing that Prince An's Mansion can train|teach such a young servant. It can be seen that his master probably just has a powerful appearance, and his actual ability to do things needs to be refined.

Yan Liang raised his eyes at this moment, and saw a touch of apricot yellow flashing in front of him.This Prince An is indeed the person he met when he was serving porridge in the alley in the north of the city.However, compared to the recklessness and powerlessness of that day, today's Duan Gaohan is much more arrogant. Wearing an expensive python robe, he raised his young and fair chin, as if he wanted to show off something.

After Yan Liang saluted, he took two steps back indifferently, asking Duan Gaohan to go forward.

Duan Gaohan frowned, his face was quite annoyed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yan Liang's calm reaction.

After watching him silently for a while, Duan Gaohan saw that Yan Liang was still neither humble nor overbearing, his heart became even more furious, and he strode towards the palace gate with a gust of wind.

Yan Liang naturally hoped that today's matter would pass quickly, so he followed suit with great strides.The two arrived at the Shuangxi Palace, the bedroom of Concubine Song, and entered the hall one after the other to pay their respects.

Concubine Song still regarded Duan Gaohan as a child, she smiled and called him over to eat candy, and only then did she take a look at Yan Liang.She didn't say much, she just asked the eunuch in charge to lead Yan Liang to see people.

All the maids and eunuchs in the Double Jubilee Palace were called to Yan Liang, except of course the four court ladies who were still accompanying the concubine in the palace at the moment.

"The one next to the imperial concubine wearing the goose yellow dress, and her, him, and her." Yan Liang then pointed out three problematic people in the crowd.

There are no absolutes in everything, not to mention that as long as things in the palace get involved, it will be troublesome. Of course, Yan Liang has to leave a way out for himself, so Yan Liang said to the eunuch: "Although you only rely on the naked eye to judge, it is inevitable that you will be confused." Omissions. This is only an auxiliary function, and the disease cannot guarantee that all the villains will be eliminated. But the four people I mentioned are absolutely problematic, and it depends on how you investigate."

The Chief Eunuch Li Tang thought it was okay for the little people with three lives to be named in front of him, but he was still very surprised by the very senior court lady in the room.He never thought that this person who came from the imperial concubine's natal family would do something to betray her.

Li Tang asked Yan Liang to rest in the side room, and he hurried to inform Concubine Song of the result.Concubine Song naturally didn't believe that the most trusted and number one court lady around her would betray her, but in view of the fact that some confidential news from her palace has been leaked out recently, she had to doubt it.

Concubine Song pretended not to know, and only called the three unidentified bastards outside.There was a cowardly man who frightened him with torture tools at will, and confessed all of them.This little court lady who swept the floor was moved by An Pin's little favors, and was instructed to wait for the opportunity to spy on her secretly and pass on some gossip.It's not a big problem, but Concubine Song still got a vigilance, knowing that in the future, she will be more wary of Concubine An who often flatters her.As for the remaining two stubborn ones, and the big court lady beside her, Concubine Song decided to slowly observe and deal with them.

At this moment, Concubine Song somewhat believed in Yan Liang's ability.She summoned Yan Liang again, asked him about his family situation, and expressed concern about his descendants.Hearing that Yan Liang's daughter was young and his grandson was only ten years old, she hurriedly asked someone to prepare gifts for his children and grandchildren.

Yan Liang thanked him very politely.

What a clever concubine Song Guizhen, she has sharp eyes and quick heart.After such a short period of time, she knew that Yan Liang was not surprised when she saw that Yan Liang was not favored or humiliated, and she knew that he was a person, and when he mentioned his children and grandchildren, he smiled when he talked about his daughter Xichun, and Concubine Song knew that he liked this little daughter very much. .Looking at his son, he didn't seem to care, but when others were not paying attention, he was staring at Yan Liang very intently, most likely because he wanted to win him over.

Concubine Song of course wanted her son to help her, she smiled and said to Yan Liang: "I like little girls the most, but unfortunately there are only two boys in this life, Han'er and his younger brother. If you have time, ask your wife to bring your daughter to the palace Let me see you, and relieve my boredom."

Yan Liang could see that Concubine Song was a well-rounded person, otherwise she wouldn't have been honored and favored for so many years.I heard that she just gave birth to the fifteenth prince last year, who is also the younger brother of Prince An's same mother.In the palace, it is very rare for her to give birth to a son for the emperor at her age.

Yan Liang also knew that the favored concubine in front of him wanted to win him over for her son.However, she did have "Linglong", but she was not smart enough, so she casually asked his deceased wife to bring her daughter into the palace without knowing about his widowhood.It can be seen that in this person's heart, he has no intention of respecting him at all, so he is eager for success and speaks blindly.Even if she is a noble concubine, it is very rude to say these words to a courtier who has lost his wife.

Before Yan Liang could speak, Duan Gaohan hurriedly corrected Concubine Song's words in a low voice, "Concubine Mu, his wife has been away for more than three years."

Concubine Song was embarrassed, and quickly smiled at Yan Liang: "It's better to ask your daughter-in-law to bring her here."

Yan Liang's daughter-in-law, Youshi, was born in a small family, so I'm afraid that if she enters the palace with careless hands, she will cause trouble.For Yan Liang, such a "gift" as a noble concubine is a punishment for causing trouble.Therefore, it is difficult for Yan Liang to appreciate Song Guifei's careless and casual win over.

Duan Gaohan sighed again, and winked at Concubine Mu, telling her to stop talking.

"Okay, that's all for today, you go back first." Duan Gaohan sent Yan Liang away, turned his head and chatted with Concubine Song for a while before leaving.

Three days later, Concubine Song found out the remaining three palace maids and eunuchs who were ordered by Yan Liang.It's true that everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts, is instigated by others, and has the intention of plotting something wrong.But it's a pity that the grand palace lady she focused on investigating suddenly committed suicide in fear of crime, forcing the clues to be completely broken.As for the remaining two young men, they didn't know much, and they couldn't get any evidence of their relationship with the queen. In the end, it was only a low-status beauty who was to blame.

Concubine Song felt very regretful that she did not move the empress this time, but she really felt the power of Yan Liang's "eyesight".Concubine Song happily told King An that he must win over Yan Liang.

The emperor already knew about the disturbances in the Double Jubilee Palace, and the emperor also knew about Yan Liang's help in dealing with people's affairs this time.Seeing such a result in the end, I asked Concubine Song again, and Concubine Song couldn't hide it, so she told the emperor everything truthfully.

The emperor still felt that this matter was absurd and unreliable, but he turned around and heard news from King Kang.

Kang Wang said with a smile: "I didn't believe Yan Liang's ability at first, so I tested him on purpose. I once asked three condemned prisoners to dress like the servants in the mansion to test him, but he really put the three criminals The culprit was singled out."

"Speaking of his appearance, it's strange. I really don't know what he thinks of it. There is a servant in my house who looks fierce and fierce. He looks like he can stab someone with a knife. If he looks at it, ordinary people should be afraid. When he saw it, there was nothing wrong. The three death row inmates, I specially selected the ones with benevolent faces, so he can still be sure of them!" Kang Wang happily slapped his thigh and said, his expression was like a child playing a game and suddenly found out Like a big surprise.

"Is it really that powerful?" The emperor thought while laughing.

"It's so powerful. My son witnessed it with his own eyes. Those half-immortal Taoist priests outside are not half as accurate as him. Father, you arrange him in the official department. You should really select talents and make the best use of them!" Kang Wang raised his head at the emperor. Thumbs up.

"Bastard, how old is he, and he still talks so recklessly and mischievously." The emperor said so, but his expression couldn't help being happy. He really liked such a lively son.

After the emperor dismissed his son immediately, he tapped his fingers on the table with a cold face and remained silent for a long time.After a while, he looked up.

The eunuch Dou Rui, who was on standby, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, and asked slowly, "Is the saint worried?"

"Jia Jing in the Ningguo Mansion is interesting. I really didn't expect him to be a fool for two years in the Taoist temple, but his skills have become even greater. I wanted to promote him to the official department first, and then find a mistake and then demote him back. Thinking of this official, he has become more and more upright, perfect in every way, not only can he do things without fault, but also won the appreciation of Laoqi, Laojiu and Song Guifei at the same time. Dou Rui, you have been in contact with him, do you think this is How are people?"

Dou Rui hurriedly shook her head, wrinkled her nose and said to the emperor, "It's not that good, his eyes make people feel hairy!"

"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed and pointed at Dou Rui, "I count you monkey spirit! But after hearing what you said, I think this guy is useful."

……

Besides, when Yan Liang returned to the mansion, he happened to meet two nuns who were about to resign. They had just come out from You Shi's side.Yan Liang saw that they looked familiar, and then remembered that these two were the nuns he had arranged for the You family sisters, so he stopped and asked them how their education was going.

The two nuns answered truthfully, and both praised the You sisters for their wisdom and manners.

"Second sister suffered a lot in the beginning. She was scolded by slaves and beaten. Fortunately, she is smart and kind-hearted. She knows her mistakes and can correct them. This child has a good nature. The mistake is that no one taught her to distinguish between good and bad, and no one told her to behave properly. Now that we have a few women here, helping her teach her, she is already a lady in a boudoir.

The third sister is more tempered and has more ideas than her elder sister. Fortunately, she is young and easy to teach.Now after learning the rules, she admits that she will never see a man with a different surname before marriage, even if Brother Rong gave her the gold bracelet at the moment, and she also actively urges her sister to do the same, she is a very good child. "

"Good thing." Yan Liang rewarded the two nuns and told them not to slack off.

As for whether the two sisters have changed or not, it will only be known if good luck befalls him during this period of time.
