Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Besides, as soon as Daiyu returned to the Jinxia Pavilion, Xueyan couldn't help asking: "Why did the girl agree to save that Xue Pan just now, even if such a person dies, it would not be a pity!" Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Silly Xueyan, what do you know! I'm doing this now just for convenience in the future, and also to tell the people in the mansion that I, Lin Daiyu, am not a dough person who is allowed to be flattened and rounded by them, and I want to make up my mind from here , that won't work!"

Xue Yan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said: "Even so, you shouldn't let go of your mouth so easily!" Daiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Okay, Xue Yan, quickly put this Send a letter." After saying that, he handed a letter to Xueyan.After hearing this, Xueyan had no choice but to take the letter and go to Sibeile's mansion.

When they arrived at Sibeile Mansion, Xueyan took out the silver waist badge that Yinzhen had given her on the boat on the way to Beijing. The concierge saw the waist badge and led Xueyan to the housekeeper of Yinzhen's mansion.The housekeeper saw that Xueyan was Zhi Yinzhen's personal waist card and asked for it, so he led Xueyan to the door of the study, knocked on the door, and only heard Yinzhen's voice from inside, asking: "Who is it?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, a girl who called herself Xueyan came to see you." After hearing this, Yinzhen came out of the study, and seeing that it was Xueyan, he said to the housekeeper, "Go down first." Yan, agreed, and left.

Seeing the housekeeper leave, Yinzhen hurriedly asked, "But Yu'er asked you to come to me?" Xueyan looked at Yinzhen, and said, "It was the girl who asked me to come, but she just asked me to come to find me. The third master, not the fourth master." After hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help turning cold, and said, "Yu'er asked you to come and find Shisan?" Seeing this, Xue Yan tried her best to hold back the urge to laugh, Said: "Exactly, the girl has a letter of trust that I will give to the thirteenth master, and let the thirteenth master pass it to the twelfth master when he returns to the palace."

"Where is the letter?" After hearing this, Yinzhen's face softened a little, but he still asked coldly.Xueyan took out the letter and handed it to Yinzhen.Yinzhen opened the letter, read it again, then handed it to Yinxiang, and said, "Look at this letter." Hearing this, Yinxiang took the letter and read it again, and asked Xueyan, "Sister Yu'er, how can you tell me?" May I ask Brother Twelve to save Xue Pan?" Xue Yan said: "Young lady only said that she has her own use in doing so, as for other things, the young lady didn't say anything, and the slaves didn't ask."

"I know." After thinking about it carefully, Yinzhen knew what Daiyu wanted to do, so he said to Xueyan: "Go back and tell Yu'er that I will take care of this matter, so he can rest assured Let it go." Hearing this, Xue Yan wanted to retreat.Yinzhen suddenly asked again: "Is it comfortable for you girls to live in that mansion?" After hearing this, Xue Yan said, "It doesn't matter where you live, but the second master Bao of Rongguo Mansion always comes here." Oh girl, this girl is very annoying."

After hearing Xueyan's words, Yinzhen couldn't help frowning deeply, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, but there was a trace of sweetness in his heart.Seeing that Yinzhen had nothing else to do, Xueyan left on her own.

After the snow geese left, Yinzhen said to Yinxiang: "Thirteen, let's go, I will enter the palace with you." After hearing this, Yinxiang couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, what time do you enter the palace now?" Glancing at Yinxiang, he said, "You haven't been back to the palace for some time, so you should go back to see Min Erniang." Yinxiang listened, and said, "That's right, maybe I haven't seen Wen Ke and Dun for a long time. It's over." After saying that, the two changed their clothes and went into the palace.

Yinzhen and Yinxiang settled the palace. Yinxiang went to the Jingxin Garden next to the Cining Palace to find the [-]th elder brother Yinzhen. Yinzhen planned to go to Renshou Palace to pay his respects first, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to pay his respects. Turn around and go to the imperial study to find Kangxi.

After entering the imperial study, Yinzhen greeted Kangxi first.When Kangxi saw that it was Yinzhen, he couldn't help but wonder: "Fourth, what are you doing in the palace to see me at this hour?" Yinzhen said: "Huang Ama, the last time you sent your son to Yangzhou, when you passed by Jinling, you found Although Jinling is a very prosperous place for business and trade, there are quite a few shops that use inferior products to make huge profits, and many of them are imperial merchants. My son thinks that this trend cannot last long, because although the status of merchants is low today, they are It drives the economic lifeline of our Qing Dynasty, and if the government and businessmen collude, it will even shake the Qing’s treasury and become a huge moth.”

Kangxi frowned when he heard Yinzhen's words, and said, "Fourth brother, don't beat around the bush. What do you want to talk about is the Xue family, one of the four great families in Jinling? Come on, why did the Xue family offend you? " Yinzhen said: "Going back to Huang Ama, the Xue family has never offended my ministers. In fact, my ministers feel that the Xue family is too shameful, so they want to take action to rectify it. However, the Xue family belongs to the ninth brother's sect It's not easy for sons and ministers, so I came here to ask Huang Ama." Kangxi looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Fourth, is it really just because of this?"

Yinzhen couldn't hide it, so he had to tell Kangxi about Daiyu.Kangxi couldn't help being furious when he heard this, and said: "It's unreasonable! It's just an imperial merchant, not even a slave who coats clothes, how dare you be so arrogant!" Seeing that Kangxi was angry, Li Dequan couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't worry about this. This kind of anger has ruined your health!" Yinzhen said: "Cai Yuer asked someone to send a letter to my minister, hoping that my minister would take this opportunity to rectify the Xue family. Yu'er said in the letter that it is not the time to move those four families. At this time, it is only appropriate to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, not to startle the snake by knocking grass."

Kangxi calmed down at this moment, and said to Li Dequan: "Go and watch outside, don't let anyone in, I have something to say to the fourth child alone." Li Dequan agreed, and went out.

After Kangxi waited for Li Dequan to go out, Fang asked: "Fourth brother, since you came back from Yangzhou, I haven't had time to ask you, how are you getting along with Ruhai?" After being informed of my attitude one by one, I asked a question that has been circling in my heart: "Huang Ama, the teacher asked Erchen and Thirteenth Brother to call him Fourth Uncle?"

When Kangxi heard this, he knew that Lin Ruhai had agreed to support Yinzhen, so he felt relieved, so he said, "Fourth brother, there is one thing that is a secret of the royal family. Except for the previous emperors, few people know about it." Kangxi left He sat down and said to Yinzhen: "Actually, if it is true, this Daqing country should belong to the Lin family, not to the Xinjueluo family I love." Yinzhen was not surprised when he heard the words, and asked: "The emperor Ama, how do you say that?" Kangxi said: "The Lin family was originally a branch of Manchuria in the late Jin Dynasty. The original surname was Xilinjueluo, and they were decent Manchurians. At that time, the ancestor of the Lin family was called Xilinjueluo Muer. He is a strange man, who knows everything about medicine, divination, astrology, astronomy and geography. When he was young, he disguised himself as a Han Chinese and learned military tactics, poetry and articles from the Han. The army divided into two groups to attack the Central Plains. However, the emperor died before he could enter the pass in the future. At that time, Xilinjue Luomuer had already entered the Shanhaiguan pass. At that time, Emperor Taizongwen was fighting for At that time, the power of commanding the army missed the good time to enter the pass, so the two armies could not meet up. After Xilinjue Luomuer knew about it, he had to gather his own troops, and used tricks to incite the former Ming army to mess up their positions, and then drove straight in. , Hebei and other provinces of Zhili were captured in one fell swoop. And after Emperor Taizong Wen led his troops into the pass, Xilin Jue Luomuer had already forced into the Ming Palace."

"Then why didn't he sit on the throne himself?" Yinzhen was a little puzzled.Kangxi said: "Because Xilin Jueluo Mu'er was already dying at that time, and he won the world not because he wanted to be emperor himself, but because he couldn't bear to see the people suffer. So he gave up the throne to Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Taizong Wen Later, it was promised that Xilinjueluomuer and his descendants would share the world with the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family, and they would be named the head of the Eight Banners of Manzhou. Xilinjueluomuer also promised Emperor Taizongwen before his death that the descendants of the Xilinjueluo family would be descendants of the Xilinjueluo family There is also a person to support the future prince of the Aixinjueluo clan. It can also be said that the person recognized by the descendants of the Xilinjueluo clan is the orthodox heir to the throne."

"And now the descendants of Xilinjueluo's lineage are the teacher's family?" Hearing this, Yinzhen already understood the general idea.Kangxi said: "Exactly. At that time, I had just ascended to the Great Treasure, and my position was not stable. How could the old ancestor of Xiaozhuang keep me? Therefore, the old ancestor of Xiaozhuang sent Mother Su to Chengde in the starry night. The father of Ruhai in Yunshan Villa is also my enlightenment mentor. His wife was the sister of Sirius Khan on the Mongolian grassland at that time, a decent Mongolian princess, and Sirius loved his sister very much. Therefore, I won With the help of my benefactor and Sirius Khan, I was able to secure the throne smoothly. Later, apart from Oboi, I also got help from Ru Hai. It was also after that that the ancestor of Xiaozhuang recognized Ru Hai as his grandson, and my brothers Compatible." Then he glanced at Yinzhen again, and said, "Fourth, he asked you to call him Fourth Uncle to prove that he has recognized you as the heir to the throne. So next time you see him, call him Fourth Uncle. It is also the real purpose of letting you go to Yangzhou."

"Huang Ama!" Suddenly hearing that Kangxi wanted him to succeed him, Yinzhen couldn't help but change his face, and said, "Even though the prince brother is a bit of a womanizer, he is filial to Huang Ama, and he has done a good job in political affairs. How about..." Kangxi patted Yinzhen on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to tell me, fourth child. I know exactly what kind of person the second child is. At the beginning, I made him the crown prince just as a stopgap measure. , I never thought that he would inherit my throne. So you don't have to speak nice words to me for him anymore."

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Kangxi said again: "The topic is going too far. Fourth, in fact, before you went to Yangzhou, I wrote a letter in hand and ordered someone to send it to Ruhai as soon as possible. It mentioned the relationship between you and Dai girl. Marriage. You have met Miss Dai, what do you think?" Yinzhen couldn't help blushing slightly after hearing Kangxi's words, and said: "There are already many wives and concubines in the son-in-law's mansion, how can Yu'er be wronged?" He thought to himself He is willing, but when he thinks of the women in his mansion, he can't help but feel a headache, and he also deeply feels that marrying Daiyu like this is even more wronged to her.

"I know that these women were pointed out to you due to the situation. I also know that among these women, even your Fujin is not your confidant. I will find a way to end this matter It's just that if you really like Daisy, you must also make Daisy like you." Kangxi frowned and said.I don't know what the jade doll from back then looks like now, it seems that I have to find a time to meet him, and I can also check out the girl's tone along the way.Then he said: "That girl Dai has been very smart since she was a child. According to Ruhai, she can understand grandson's art of war at the age of three. Did she tell you how to do this?"

Yinzhen said: "Said, she asked the minister to look for the twelfth younger brother, because Master Chen of Shuntian Mansion is under the twelfth younger brother, and asked the twelfth younger brother to order the governor of Shuntian Mansion to hand over the matter to the son, and then what to do , I will let my son see how to deal with it!" Kangxi thought for a while, and said: "In that case, you can do as Dai girl wants." After hearing this, Yin Zhen said, "My son knows."

After a while, Kangxi felt a little tired, so he waved his hands and said, "If you have nothing else to do, then you can step back." After Yinzhen heard the words, he stepped back.

There are two sides to the conversation, on Daiyu's side, Xueyan is very dissatisfied.Because there were so many people around during the day, Xueyan couldn't say much.In the evening, after Daiyu asked Zijuan to retire, leaving herself alone to wait in the house, Xueyan began to complain about Daiyu.I only heard Xueyan ask: "Girl, why did you let me act in such a play during the day?" Daiyu said: "Xueyan, you have been with me for a long time, and you still don't understand me. thinking?"

Xue Yan said: "Xue Yan understands that the girl wants to take the opportunity to punish Xue Pan, but the girl shouldn't make fun of her boudoir reputation. If the kicker spreads the words at the old lady's side today, How will the girl behave in the future?" Daiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Xueyan, I know that you have good intentions for me. It's just that I have my own ideas. If a person wants to push people into the abyss , I will lead that person to the edge of the cliff at the risk of falling to pieces. And today’s matter will never leak the slightest word. In the name of this year's draft, let me find a future for them!"

Xueyan couldn't help saying: "Girl, since there are so many calculations here, why do we have to live here? It's not like the Lin family doesn't have a house in Beijing." After hearing this, Daiyu sighed quietly, and said "Let me tell you the truth, Xueyan. Before I went to Beijing, my father once told me something related to the death of Empress Tong Jia. Besides, my father asked me to go to Jia's mansion, hoping to find Two things."

Xueyan asked: "What is it?" Daiyu said: "One is the iron coupon of the Danshu given by Emperor Taizong Wen back then. It is said that there is a treasure left by the Ming Dynasty hidden in it. The other is the fairy mandala. Last time, Chunxian told me secretly that the Danshu iron certificate was given to the Jia family by Emperor Taizong Wen, and now it should be kept by my grandmother. The fairy mandala was originally brought up by Xue Gong, who was from Ziweishe. It is said that as long as there is a breath People here, no matter what disease they have or how many injuries they have suffered, can be cured as long as they take the fairy mandala. It is precisely because of this that the Xue family can become an imperial merchant."

"Since taking the fairy mandala can save lives, why did the concubine Chen die of illness?" Xue Yan couldn't help but wondered after hearing this.If it weren't for the death of Concubine Chen, Emperor Taizong Wen would have passed away at the age of 52.Daiyu said: "That's the problem, I can't even figure it out." Xueyan asked again: "The girl did this today to punish Xue Pan through the fourth master, and force the Xue family to take out the money." Fairy mandala?" Daiyu nodded, and said: "I have seen the record of fairy mandala in "Shen Nong's Legacy". As a result, the whole plant can be used as medicine, but this medicine has a difference, that is, this medicine must be cultivated like a narcissus, and only in the hot summer of July every year, this thing can grow into medicine."

"But girl, if the Xue family doesn't have the fairy mandala, wouldn't the girl be wasting all her efforts?" Xue Yan asked with some worry.When Daiyu heard this, she had to say, "If that's the case, I'll just have to do it." Seeing Daiyu like this, Xueyan couldn't help regretting what she had just said, so she didn't say anything, and just waited for Daiyu to fall asleep.

Two days later, Xue Pan was released, but I don't know what method Yinzhen used, Xue Pan's lifeline was broken, and it made Aunt Xue very sad, but secretly thinking about how to save Xue Pan .Later, I heard that the imperial doctor Wang of the imperial hospital was very skilled, so I hurriedly invited Mrs. Wang to come.After seeing it, Imperial Physician Wang shook his head and said, "Forgive me for my superficial knowledge and practice, so I can't do anything about it." After hearing this, Aunt Xue burst into tears.

At this time, Wang Taiyi said: "But I know that there is someone who may be able to save Mr. Xue." Aunt Xue asked who it was.Physician Wang said: "There is a person in the Jianghu who is nicknamed 'Ghost Doctor with Poisonous Hands'. He is called Gui Jianchou. It is said that there is nothing in the world that he can't cure. Mrs. Xue can go to him to try. But this person has a quirk. That is, no matter who comes to him for treatment, he must have a bowl of blood from the patient's body." Aunt Xue heard this, and thought to herself: "If you want a bowl of blood from a human body, wouldn't you immediately lose too much blood and die? It seems that you have to use a fairy Mandala has saved Pan'er, although this thing is precious, but no matter how precious it is, it can't compare to Pan'er." So he thanked Wang Taiyi.Physician Wang didn't say much, so he left.

Not to mention where Aunt Xue got the fairy mandala to heal Xue Pan, but before they had time for lunch, they saw Li Dequan come to Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree, saying that it was Kangxi who called Daiyu into the palace, which only shocked everyone.

Daiyu didn't show the slightest surprise, she had heard from her father that when she was one year old, Kangxi also went to Yangzhou to congratulate herself.So he just calmly said: "Li Wenda, wait a moment, when Daiyu comes to change clothes." Li Dequan laughed and said: "Master Xiaoyu is at her own discretion. The emperor said, but let Master Xiaoyu stay in the palace for a few days. Therefore, it is also good to let Master Xiaoyu bring a maid who is close to him."

Not long after, I saw Daiyu wearing a lotus moon bun, wearing a five-phoenix Chaoyang flag head on her head, and wearing a light yellow flag dress with light-colored hibiscus flowers embroidered with silk threads, which is very elegant. Chic, with a pair of red flowerpot-soled shoes on her feet, and Xueyan next to her also changed into a flag outfit, holding a package in her hand.Daiyu smiled and said to Li Dequan, "If you are familiar with it, please lead the way."

When everyone reached the door, they were startled. It turned out that the phoenix chariot parked at the door seemed to be the phoenix chariot that Princess Gu Lun was qualified to use.Jia Mu and the others were thinking that it was inconsistent with reason, but they were surprised to see that Daiyu had already carried the snow geese onto the phoenix chariot, and there was no difference in color.While everyone was in a daze, Li Dequan had already ordered someone to lift up the phoenix chariot and headed towards the palace.

As soon as Daiyu entered the imperial study, she heard Kangxi's voice, saying: "I haven't seen you for many years. Yuwa has grown into a jade girl. She is really as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder my son is fascinated." Daiyu Yu led Xueyan over there, gave her a blessing, and said, "Daiyu has seen Uncle Huang." Xueyan also said, "Slave Xueyan has seen the emperor."

Kangxi hurriedly said to Daiyu: "Get up quickly." When he saw the snow geese standing beside Daiyu, Kangxi didn't feel stunned for a moment, his expression became a little dazed, and he murmured: "Xiaodie..."
