Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

If Lin Hai had persecution paranoia, he must feel that King Yizhong wanted to block him.

In fact, today was really a coincidence. King Yizhong heard that Lin Hai's family of three also came to the toothbrush ceremony, so he went out of his private room and followed the news.

A restaurant that can eat 100 taels of silver, and its bathroom is at least lit with incense, which may be better than talking on the street in terms of smell alone.

Lin Hai didn't rush or panic, washed his hands first and straightened his sleeves and neckline before saluting seriously, and then asked, "Your Highness, do you have something to say?"

To deal with the Yizhong King, who has a wide range of ideas and is difficult to figure out, Lin Hai intends to say something. If there is something wrong with the euphemism, it will be a loss.

King Yizhong raised his hand and slapped Lin Hai's shoulder with a slap. He smiled "sweetly" and showed his white teeth, "The medicine is very good, good brother!"

Your good brother is sitting on the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall.Besides, it may not be beneficial to call you brothers and sisters, it is true that it is taboo.

But no matter how much he muttered in his heart, it didn't delay Lin Hai pushing King Yizhong's hand away, "I can't resist you taking two more shots with my body."

King Yizhong was in a very good mood today, he really retracted his hand when he heard the words, and even laughed dryly, "I'm overjoyed."

From 5.00% to [-]%, maybe I don't feel much, but now...it has become [-]% in one fell swoop, and King Yizhong can already feel the difference—the difference is not small.

Although 5.00% of the activity wants to hold a baby, it is comparable to the chance of winning the million dollar prize, but it is better than before...

Not to mention that King Yizhong felt good about himself, the trusted doctor in the palace was also very pleasantly surprised after taking his pulse: the prince is much better!

In the past, it was this doctor who always said that the prince’s kidney water was insufficient—it could only be inferred that the kidney water was insufficient. Telling the truth would hurt the self-esteem of Yizhong Wang too much. Don’t forget that this man’s mental state is not very stable.

Afterwards, the old doctor often showed embarrassment. He lost countless hairs in order to think about the prescription for King Yizhong.

This time is good, the prince did not know where to get a prescription, after taking it for less than a month, his health has improved, and he has never had an outbreak these days, and even the yin and yang strange energy is gone... Prepare a longevity tablet for the adult who gave the prescription!

King Yizhong personally told Lin Hai about his family's up and down attitudes, and Lin Hai waved his hand, "My lord, my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are still waiting for me to go back."

King Yizhong hurriedly pulled him back, "Why are you so anxious? Why do you have to be so divided? We don't have to avoid your daughter-in-law and daughter when we talk."

My lord, why don't you continue to be weird with me, Lin Hai even wrote his reluctance on his face.

King Yizhong suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot that you are newly married. Okay, okay, I will forgive you this time. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Hai was suddenly blessed, and looked at King Yizhong and asked, "My lord wants to tell me, but I'm with you..." His wife's surname is also Wang, so he called her by her first name and surname, "Is it related to Wang Ziteng?"

King Yizhong smiled slightly, "You really have a clean family."

Lin Hai has been a patrolling censor in Yangzhou for many years. No matter how "unique to the emperor's confidant" this patrolling salt censor is, he is far away from the capital city and political center.

Before Lin Hai returned to Beijing, he was mentally prepared for "a smear before his eyes". Fortunately, after returning to Beijing, the emperor gave him some time to buffer, and he inquired a lot of news from his contacts with fellow villagers and subjects.

Originally, Lin Hai had a little friendship with Wang Ziteng because of his uncle Jia Zheng's relationship: otherwise, Jia Yucun would not have been recommended by Jia Zheng, and then won Wang Ziteng's appreciation.

After changing the core, it didn't take much time for Lin Hai to go to Beijing to learn that Wang Ziteng's reputation was mediocre, so he deliberately reduced his contact with Wang Ziteng, and at the same time he didn't want to become Yuan Chun's help for no apparent reason, especially knowing that Rong Mansion would be defeated. Under the premise of Yuan Chun's early death.

After he joined the job, the more Lin Hai thought about it, the more he felt that the Holy Majesty might have deliberately "separated" him from Prince Teng, so he agreed to Concubine Xian's begging to personally act as a mediator for him.

Seeing Lin Hai's thoughtful appearance, King Yizhong was quite relieved, "Yes, it seems that I have thought of it."

Lin Hai said directly: "I didn't think of anything, I'll wait for your clarification." After saying this, he resolutely said goodbye and left.

King Yizhong looked at the back of Lin Hai leaving calmly, and said to his confidant who happened to come forward, "Why don't you think he takes credit?"

This servant has been serving King Yizhong since he was established as the prince, and now he whispered, "If you go back to the prince, this person either has a lot of plans, or...he didn't take this matter to heart at all. .”

King Yizhong nodded, "I feel the same way. How many years, how many messy medicine soups and pills I have taken, you and I can't remember it? Only the prescription he gave can be cured after a month of consumption. It has such an effect. I almost forgot what it’s like to have an evil fire in my heart. I heard that he himself got up from the hospital bed by relying on this prescription. By the way, he also gave the prescription to my two friends. nephew."

And the two princes felt that it was quite effective.

The servant smiled and said, "Don't care what he's trying to do, your lord is about to get well soon."

King Yizhong also smiled, "I'm already like this, so what's so scary. Whoever made me uncomfortable back then, I made him unhappy!"

Lin Hai walked back along the corridor——no one knew that Lin Hai was born with excellent hearing, so he slowed down a bit, and he heard what King Yizhong had said.

It is said that King Yizhong can act without scruples because he has no son.Lin Haixin said: When he gets Xiao Jin to heal better, I'm afraid he won't even want to say harsh words.

However, whether or not to have a baby can only affect the intensity of King Yizhong's revenge, and will definitely not let the former prince and his former enemies turn their fights into friendship.

Back to his wife and daughter, Wang Chan asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Lin Hai said seriously, "I fell into the pit." In fact, he was serious, and he knew it himself.

Wang Chan couldn't help but "puchi", "Master..."

Daiyu also covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes narrowed.

After the family of three arrived home after dinner, Daiyu went back to her own yard. In the big main room, there were only two husbands and wives——Zhuqing and the other big girls were guarding the outside room. Wang Chan asked, "I heard you Have you met King Yizhong?"

Wang Chan is on the same level as the brothers Shengshang and Yizhong Wang, and she calls them cousins.But these two cousins ​​are old enough to be her father, so their siblings... are really unfamiliar.

But there is a mother of the clan princess, Wang Chan knows more than other girls from famous families in Beijing... and she is reliable.

Seeing that Lin Hai didn't speak, Wang Chan took the initiative to say, "Many people say that King Yizhong pretended to be crazy after he was abolished—that's because these people have basically never had contact with King Yizhong. . . . crazy."

Lin Hai laughed when he heard that, "That's right."

Of course, if it wasn't really crazy, the Holy One wouldn't let his second brother go out and walk around with confidence.

But now even if King Yizhong shows signs of a big improvement, the Holy One will not circle the second brother when he knows it, because the second brother has been unable to threaten the dragon chair under his "respectful buttocks".

Wang Chan grabbed Lin Hai's arm, and as soon as Lin Hai sent his shoulder, Wang Chan naturally leaned on Lin Hai's shoulder, "You gave the prescription to King Yizhong, and he will come to thank you sooner or later."

"He seems to want to thank you today." Lin Hai felt that there were some things that he had to say clearly to his wife, "It seems that he wants to remind me that something is wrong with Wang Ziteng."

Wang Ziteng is Lin Hai's in-laws, although there is an extra circle.Lin Hai even mentioned his first and last name... No one seemed to have much kindness towards this person.

Wang Chan didn't know what her husband wanted, so she didn't say a word: After all, they just got married, and the tacit understanding between husband and wife can't be cultivated in three days.

When Lin Hai saw his wife's reaction, he was sure that she knew something, so he planned to test it out.

"Wang Ziteng is a first-rank official after all, let's not mention him for the time being, just say that the imperial concubine concubine concubine is too sudden." This is not difficult for the whole family to say, and to question Yuan Chun's concubine is not to question His Majesty's holy judgment?

Wang Chan gave a dry laugh, and immediately said in a serious tone, "The concubine Xian only mentioned one thing to my mother, she also felt a little strange, and the concubine is not in charge of palace affairs..."

Yes!There is dignity but no real power... Lin Haixin said: Sure enough!

The Holy Majesty bestowed rewards on the ~harem~ palace, and the context has always been very clear.

The three concubines of De Shuxian are all meritorious in giving birth and have extraordinary backgrounds, and they have accumulated enough qualifications to be named concubines.Even if the Holy Majesty is greedy for a certain beauty for a while, it is the limit to be promoted to the rank of concubine.

The Holy Majesty suddenly took a fancy to Yuan Chun, and he liked it so much, he was so passionate that he made an exception and made an exception, adding a noble concubine...it didn't make sense at all.

Don't forget that Yuanchun has been in the palace for several years.

If Wang Ziteng has done meritorious deeds, he would be kind to Yuan Chun because he has nothing to reward him... Wang Ziteng is only Yuan Chun's uncle, not his own father. Besides, what kind of merits can Wang Ziteng make to make Yuan Chun step from a female official to the head of the four concubines?

So this one doesn't make sense at all.

It is said that the six ministers of this dynasty are no more than the second rank, and the prince is less than [-] and already the first rank... According to modern standards, this is almost equivalent to the level of deputy ~ chief ~ chairman, deputy ~ general manager.As for the official to achieve this level, not to mention self-made friends, there should be a small faction, but as far as Lin Hai knows, the people around Wang Ziteng are only two or three small shrimps... This is really too few up.

It's hard not to let Lin Hai have the idea that "Prince Teng is lucky": although it's hard to tell from his resume.

According to Lin Hai's guess, Wang Ziteng and Yuan Chun probably did some "dirty work" for the Holy Majesty before they were rewarded with official positions and honors. In order to consolidate their positions, the two of them handed themselves... olive branches one after another?

The more Lin Hai thought about it, the more he felt it was reasonable: it was precisely because Wang Ziteng and Yuan Chun's foundations were not stable in spite of their seemingly prosperous appearance, that they easily implicated their own family in a complete defeat.

Thinking about it again, he might not be too strong to let the emperor throw him into the household department to be busy with practical work - how many reliable relatives and friends do he have around him?

Thinking of this, Lin Hai turned his head to look at Wang Chan, "Daughter-in-law, please take care of me, I'm afraid that my uncle and brother will miss Daiyu's mother's dowry."

Wang Chan has been staring at Lin Hai, and she believes that Lin Hai can always think clearly: In fact, her cousin Xianfei has already reminded her to stay away from the noble concubine... It should be noted that Shufei and her cousin have always been at odds, and the cousin never said this Kind of words.

Rongguo Mansion is not as good as before, and Wang Chan also heard about it, but the mother of the noble concubine calculated the dowry of the deceased sister-in-law... Wang Chan was taken aback, "Huh? I wrote it down."

Lin Hai didn't mind that the Rong Mansion fell one day, but he remembered Qiao's verdict that she was abducted by her cruel-hearted uncle and then rescued by Grandma Liu's family.It's all reached the point where Miss Zhengzheng said she was abducted and sold. It is conceivable that the Jia family at that time was already "running out of ammunition and food".

It's no problem to use Daiyu's mother's dowry to help the young and old in the Rong Mansion... You can't just watch them starve to death and freeze to death, after all, the Lin family is not short of money.But he wanted to take him and his daughter for fools... He really wanted to see Mrs. Wang's methods with his own eyes.

Don't tell me, Lin Hai guessed again this time.

Mrs. Wang really moved her mind on sister-in-law's generous dowry.

Ever since Jia Daishan passed away, the Rong Mansion has been unable to make ends meet, so if the idea of ​​the family's wealth is to increase income and reduce expenditure immediately, it will not be enough for the whole family to feed for many years.

However, Yuanchun became a concubine. As a noble concubine who only has a position but no real power, it is much more difficult to order others in the palace.The female officials and eunuchs in the palace... especially the eunuchs don't have a small appetite!

The servants in the Holy Palace received dozens of taels each time, and it was impossible to live without a few hundred taels of silver in a month.Knowing the situation of her natal family, Yuan Chun tried her best to check, but no matter how much she checked, she couldn't lose the title of imperial concubine, otherwise she might lose even that bit of decency.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang felt that she should plan ahead. If Daiyu agreed to let her take care of the sister-in-law's dowry... that would be great!

Besides, Daiyu has an extra stepmother after all, so it is reasonable for her to be more careful with her stepmother.So after Mrs. Wang greeted Jia Mu, she sent someone to the Lin Mansion to invite her: she only said that Jia Mu had talked about it several times, and the sisters might miss them after not seeing each other for a long time.

At the moment Lin Hai was still in the Yamen, and Daiyu was going to her grandmother's house, but Wang Chan couldn't stop her, so he simply took Daiyu to Rongfu by himself in a carriage.

However, Wang Chan came in person—it was unreasonable to ask Sanpin to wait outside, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang... especially Mrs. Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite people in.

Everyone went to visit Jia Mu first, and then several wives talked with Jia Mu.

Although Wang Chan is young, he cannot be offended.Mrs. Wang didn't show it on the face, but she was inevitably disappointed in her heart: this time it won't work.

However, she said that grandmother's side was full of married women chatting, so Daiyu followed her cousins ​​to talk in the warm pavilion.Knowing Sister Lin's arrival, Baoyu hurried back from the school, first went to meet Jiamu and the wives in Jiamu's room, and went to talk to the sisters before she had time to change her clothes.

At this moment, Baochai happened to bring a new style of hairpin from the palace for the sisters to choose.

In the original book, Zhou Rui's family gave Daiyu the remaining silk flowers, but Baochai directly pushed the box with hairpins in front of Daiyu, letting Daiyu pick it first.

The author has something to say: Today there is still... to continue to make up the debt.
