Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

Qin Keqing was adopted by Qin Ye.

Of course this Yuan Chun knew, she even knew that Qin Keqing's life experience was not simple: the Qin family was the daughter of a criminal minister, and at the same time her biological mother seemed to have some relationship with the Mu family, the last descendant of the previous dynasty.

The marriage between Brother Rong and the Qin family was made by his uncle: Qin Keqing is outstanding in both appearance and talent, and she has something to gain.

Yuan Chun felt that the Holy Majesty also acquiesced: the two uncles and grandfathers had always won the trust of King Yizhong and the brothers Shengshang when they were alive.

This time the people from Beidi came to commit the crime, and the Mu family's handwriting was behind it. This matter was almost spread in the palace, how could Yuan Chun not notice it?She just felt that His Majesty's words just now didn't seem like he wanted to settle accounts after Qiuhou, but reminded her...to take care of her natal family?

Yuan Chun took the arm of the Holy Majesty and asked, "In a few days, I will also call my sister-in-law from the Ning Mansion to talk?"

The sage nodded and said: "It should be so." He pinched Yuan Chun's little fleshy hand——Since he was pregnant, Yuan Chun has plumped up a lot, and it looks more and more lovable, "Your nephew was helped by Lin Hai Ministry of War?"

This nephew was naturally referring to Jia Rong, there was no room for misunderstanding.

If someone else asked the Holy Spirit to ask such a question, I'm afraid they would all be sweating from fright.Yuan Chun was still smiling, "That's him. My nephew has also reached the age of an errand. Finding him a job will save you from having nothing to do at home and teasing cats and dogs. This kid can't study well, but he can pass by in riding and archery. It's appropriate to be in the military department." She suddenly blushed, "I can't hide it from you anyway, so I'll just say it straight. Since my uncle and grandfather passed away, there are not many people who are willing to help my natal family now."

The Holy One was delighted when he heard it, "You are really sincere."

Yuan Chun covered his slightly feverish face: Sure enough, he made the right bet, and there is no harm in showing weakness to the Holy One.

The Holy Majesty can't tolerate the sale of officials, and it's also because the rich and powerful usually trade the most important positions.However, the Holy Majesty does not mind finding a job in six departments for the sake of children or relatives and friends, especially low-level jobs.

In the future, the old man should not aim too high and strive to make progress, the Holy One would be happy to see the success.So the Holy One praised him again, "Such a down-to-earth child is rare."

In fact, whether it is Jia Lian or Jia Rong, after entering the six yamen, it seems that they are a bit reborn: they not only act restrained and cautious, but also know how to behave carefully.Considering his age, Jia Rong, who can suppress his youthful nature, performed better than Jia Lian.

It is said that Jia Lian calmed down because he read a lot of files under the guidance of caring people: the files suing his wife and aunt were half a foot high, and there were some files beside him that accused his father of buying antiques and treasures... Although These cases seemed to be closed, but Jia Rong's hands were shaking when she flipped through the files.

Afterwards, he heard a lot of unheard "gossip", coupled with his uncle's repeated reminders, even though Jia Lian had only been in office for more than a month, his words and deeds were already very decent. Internal word of mouth is better than his second uncle Jia Zheng.

As for Jia Rong, he took a deep breath and wanted to find an explanation for his wife!After his wife passed away, he realized that his daughter-in-law's background was very unusual.

He could feel that the daughter-in-law died because of her bias towards her husband's family.

Not to mention that Jia Rong felt this way, even Yuan Chun was sure that for the sake of the future of the children in her arms, the Qin family was determined to tell the whole story to her in-law's side or even directly to her, so that she would be suddenly silenced.

Otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Over the past few years, the housekeeper of the Qin family has arranged servants to be in charge of the house, and the Holy One has secretly assigned people to keep a close eye on them.

Yuan Chun thought that if Brother Rong took the initiative to "get together", and follow the vines to catch the big fish, he would remember Rong's contribution.

Wait a few days and see if I can find a chance for Second Brother Lian... Yuan Chun thought of this and said: "My nephew heard that he also wants to go to the Northwest to see the world... I don't ask for anything else, I can set foot on the battlefield Just fine."

The Holy Majesty smiled again, "This is simple."

If he wanted to grab the position of general in the Northwest Army, the Holy Majesty would definitely be annoyed, but Yuan Chun wanted his natal nephew to become a captain, and the Holy Majesty would not be embarrassed at all.

Thinking about what Yuan Chun begged for after becoming pregnant, it was all a matter of effort for him.

Yuan Chun never pleaded for the officials of her uncle, father and uncle, which made the Holy Majesty who was dissatisfied with her gradually appreciate her.

Thinking that he would be free the next day, the Holy Majesty called Jia Rong and those honorable children who were still progressing to take the first and second school exams in front of him, and promoted a few decent ones to the second brother's place, and they left Beijing for the northwest together, which would be cheaper.

However, Yuan Chun held Baochai's marriage in her hands with a light word. Mrs. Wang was in a complicated mood. After returning to the mansion, she had to report to her mother-in-law and Jia Mu first, and she couldn't take care of her ugly sister and niece for a while.

However, Aunt Xue has been limp since she heard the "bad news" in Fengzao Palace, and she returned home in a daze... When only her daughter and a few confidantes were left in front of her, she finally cried out with a "wow": It's like the sky is falling!

King Xuanping's two side concubines both favored Baochai. Even though she could only accept the position of concubine, Aunt Xue still couldn't restrain her pride. thoughts.

Of course, Aunt Xue has never regarded her daughter as a commodity, but there is no doubt that she hopes that her daughter's Pande will be higher. Although Aunt Xue does not mention it, she is also prepared in her heart. of.

Once the dream was shattered and the concubine was displeased, Aunt Xue couldn't stop her tears: Master, why did you leave so early?If you were here, you wouldn't be so aggrieved, and let your daughter almost ruin half of her life!

She was sad, aggrieved, regretful, and a little angry: what's the matter with you, sister-in-law?Why don't you ask clearly when you matchmaking? !

Because she has supported her brother for many years, Aunt Xue has more confidence than her sister to get angry with her brother and sister-in-law.

Baochai was fine at first, and she was inevitably disappointed if the marriage failed, but she was also secretly glad that she didn't jump into the pit of fire in a daze: The two side concubines of the Xuanping Palace were not so much for her as for her family background .

To put it in modern terms, Baochai's mind is: I don't mind if you value my family's money, but you can't just value my family's money.

Therefore, Baochai's mood at this time can be imagined.

It's just that Daiyu was far away because of this marriage that didn't even leave a word, which made her quite regretful.Along the way, Baochai was thinking about how to restore her relationship with Daiyu, but when she didn't want to get home, her mother broke down and cried.

When his mother cried, Baochai felt sad too, and tears flowed down her cheeks.The mother and daughter almost hugged each other, wiping away tears.

When Xue Pan returned home, what he saw was his mother and sister with red and swollen eyes, choked with sobs.

He immediately became anxious, "Is it the aunt or the aunt who bullied my sister?!" After speaking, he was about to rush out.

He didn't think that the imperial concubine in the palace would embarrass his mother and sister.

Don't tell me, Xue Pan was a little dazed, and he wasn't completely unaware of other people's good intentions or evil thoughts.

Especially because the house was stretched because of the construction of the family-saving villa, Mrs. Wang showed a bit of greed in her desperation.As a result, even Xue Pan knew that his aunt Mrs. Wang was tempted by his family property.

"Fortunately" Yuan Chun was pregnant, so he couldn't visit relatives.It's not a problem that the yard was not completed because of the lack of money... Anyway, the yard will not be used for a while.

So Mrs. Wang, who had been eager to help her from her younger sister, gave birth again. She didn't try to disturb Huang Baochai's marriage until she heard that the side concubine of Xuanping Wang was planning to make a real move.

Where did Xue Pan think that his aunt was wrong?He just remembered that his aunt had malicious intentions!

Seeing her son walking outside, Aunt Xue quickly shouted, "Stop!" Her throat hurt a little when she shouted, "You are trying to force me and your sister!"

How could she not detect her sister's gradually changing subtle attitude?It's just that my sister has a daughter who is a noble concubine, so Aunt Xue doesn't even dare to argue, let alone quarrel!

It is much better for Baochai's marriage to be in the hands of the empress than to let her inquire about it by herself... Fortunately, the imperial concubine is reasonable and will not blindly protect her shortcomings.

Aunt Xue's mood gradually calmed down, and Baochai also pulled her brother back with great winking.The family of three sat silently, and Aunt Xue complained to her son after having a cup of tea: Baochai's marriage had gone wrong.

Ordinarily, Baochai couldn't be present for a lifelong event involving him.However, Aunt Xue knows that her daughter is not only caring, but also has ideas, and her own marriage should be her own choice.

Although Aunt Xue felt that her son was her reliance, she also loved her daughter very much, and he could quite listen to her daughter's opinions.

How could Baochai not understand her mother's heart?

She followed Daiyu to meet several nobles of Xuanping Wang's family, but it was her aunt, Mrs. Gao, who really matched the bridge... Baochai took her mother's hand and said softly: "My aunt may not know about it. Uncle and aunt said."

Xue Pan didn't wait for his mother to speak, and hurriedly said, "My sister is right! I need to find my uncle about this matter."

He is not so stupid, how can he go to the son of King Xuan Ping for an explanation?What can I do if I don't ask my uncle to get busy.

But after Mrs. Wang finished talking with Jia Mu, she sent someone to the eldest brother's house when she returned to her room to ask her sister-in-law when she was free and she had something to say.

When Mrs. Gao got the news, she felt that it was still early, so she simply came to the door - the two sisters-in-law had just come out of the palace.

When Mrs. Wang saw her sister-in-law, she didn't betray her. "My lady said, King Xuanping voted for King Suduan."

Mrs. Gao was shocked, not only her eyes widened, but her mouth could not be closed. After a while, she asked, "The news is reliable?" Then she realized that she was restless and said the wrong thing. Walked around several times, but didn't see anything unusual? Before leaving, the master asked to get closer to Prince Xuanping's mansion."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was also a little unsure: the elder brother and the empress had the opposite judgment... So she pushed the ball away and became a good person by the way, "Sister-in-law, why don't you talk to your younger sister?"

How can Mrs. Gao have no reason to do so?Even though the husband lives in a first-rank official position, he still treats his sister-in-law's family with respect and courtesy.

It is said that Wang Ziteng's willingness to send his niece to the Xuanping Palace is because of his friendship, even the intention of forming an alliance, and he is very sincere: thinking about the expensive dowry, he knows that Baochai is not a worthless girl, even if his own A concubine may not be more "affordable" than this niece.

After a while, Aunt Xue and Baochai came together.

Baochai didn't have any apprehension of "adults talk, children shouldn't meddle in it". After seeing the ceremony, she sat down on her mother's hand, watching her nose, nose, nose, and heart, but she didn't miss any words said by her elders. .

Seeing Baochai's calm appearance, Mrs. Gao nodded secretly: If Baochai wants to be "useful" in the future, it is better not to rely on Nuo Nuo to have his own opinions. If the empress supports her again, the future... is unknown.

Thinking about it this way, the third girl in Rongfu's second room is actually pretty good, and she will be useful in the future, but it's a pity that this girl is not from the elder sister-in-law, so she cannot be married.

So Mrs. Gao was very patient, and explained again to her sister-in-law and niece, "Now go back and send someone to find the master to find a regulation."

Baochai lowered her eyes and said nothing: Uncle and Niangniang disagree... Which side should she lean towards?

After the points were finished, Mrs. Gao left immediately.Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Sister Feng and Baochai got up to see them off.

Sister Feng came here specially when she heard that her aunt was leaving.

Baochai took a steady look at Sister Feng, and realized that this cousin's complexion was so ugly that even makeup could not cover it up. Thinking of the recent rumors that the second master and the second mistress were at odds, Baochai's feelings were suppressed in his heart. The uneasiness is becoming more and more obvious: Uncle and uncle are also... getting separated?

The second brother Lian's official position was not given by his uncle, but by his uncle and uncle.

Uncle didn't seem to help when Uncle was played by Yushi.Then it is reasonable for the empress to change her attitude towards her uncle... only suffering from the aunt and cousin who are caught in the middle, who are not human inside and out.

Thinking about when she gets married in the future, there will be conflicts between her husband's family and her mother's family, and she will be in a dilemma.Baochai pondered a lot, and suddenly she didn't look forward to her marriage so much.

But Mrs. Gao came and went in a hurry. First she met Jia Mu, and then she talked with Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Baochai. She didn't even ask Sister Feng to accompany her, and Baoyu was not allowed to summon her...

I heard that when Mrs. Gao came, Xiren greeted Sheyue and prepared clothes for Baoyu to meet guests: Mrs. Gao, as a first-rank imperial order, is definitely a rare visitor!

With a book in his hand, Baoyu didn't pay any attention to the two girls: just as the wife and aunt came back from the palace, the aunt came... It's hard to say it must be a big deal, but something that needs the aunt to come... He won't interfere most.

Looking at Baoyu's enthusiasm for coaxing girls, one knows that if he uses this talent in the right way, he will definitely be worthy of the word "smart".

Baoyu still has a deep affection for Daiyu now, especially the heart that must be won, which may not be worse than in the original book, even though the cousins ​​don't get along too much.

Regardless of the similarity between the two, Daiyu is indeed the best girl Baoyu has ever met, bar none.

But Baoyu also understands that if he wants to embrace a beauty, he must pass the test of his uncle.Whether he is good at official career and economics is another matter, but knowledge must be passable.

As the saying goes, where there is pressure, there is motivation. Baoyu worshiped a strict teacher again. These days, he has devoted himself to studying hard, and naturally he has made some progress—to the point where his master praised him as "spiritual".

During this period of time, Baoyu gradually became enlightened and "entered the right path", becoming sensible and motivated. Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were relieved and no longer stared at him as well as before.

Who made the Rong Mansion, including the Ning Mansion next door, have a series of major and minor incidents in the past six months, and they never stopped.

It's just that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang can't take care of Baoyu for a while, and Baoyu has to study every day, attacking people...so he considers himself half a master.

This time Mrs. Gao came, Xiren wanted to ask Second Master Bao to go to Mrs. Gao for a while, but never expected Mrs. Gao to visit Mrs. Jia, so she went to Mrs. Wang's room to talk, and then... said goodbye...

Qiuwen broke the curtain and entered the door and said that his uncle and wife had already left. Xiren was dumbfounded when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

Qingwen sneered, "I don't know who to show Qinqin to?"

Xiren's face instantly turned red.

Baoyu is still rebellious and unruly, but compared with the original novel, his deviant behavior has been restrained.

Xiren naturally fell in love with such a serious and gentle Baoyu.

Baoyu also treats Xiren not bad, but this "not bad" is obviously not enough to convince the other girls.She was young at this time, not to mention a little naive in her methods, and even more so, she had a wicked heart but no courage.

After all, the old lady lives too close, and the old lady can hear the noise a little louder, let alone those big girls who are already sharp.

Just when Xiren was feeling a little restless due to embarrassment, Xiangyun and Tanchun came together.

The two girls came in and took a look: this is not right.The embarrassment on Xi Ren's face still hasn't dissipated.

So the two looked at each other, and just as they were looking for an excuse to come back, Baoyu directly asked to stay, "Sisters, let's sit down and talk about anything. I'm tired of reading too."

Xiangyun has always been straightforward, and he has a good friendship with Baochai, so he didn't leave after hearing the words, "Sister Bao seems very sad."

As soon as Tanchun heard it, he felt that this was not good: he was sad when he came out of the palace, so what happened if it was heard by the empress? !She hurriedly searched for it and said, "Sister Bao, that's...you can't say for sure if you touch the scene."

Baoyu also followed Xuanping Prince's mansion back then, how could he hide "Sister Bao wants to find a good marriage"?It is precisely because of this marriage without a word, that Sister Bao has a little relationship with these sisters and brothers.

Dedicated to climbing high branches... Baoyu doesn't like it in her heart, but after all, she can't talk about people's right and wrong behind her back. "Let's choose a time to go and talk to her. Call Sister Lin, and all the familiar sisters go...to help her solve it."

What he really thought in his heart was: It would be great if he could go out, and he wanted to find Sister Lin... It's a pity that his uncle's house has strict rules, and he is not allowed to enter without a post.

Ever since Lin Hai returned to Beijing to be promoted, no one in the Rong Mansion could compare Daiyu Baochai again, even Mrs. Wang.

Xiangyun and Tanchun could also see what Brother Bao was thinking.

To appease Sister Bao, Second Brother Bao was a little absent-minded, but he could tell that Second Brother Bao missed Sister Lin.Xiangyun and Tanchun are...not surprised.

At this moment, Tanchun could only express his true thoughts, "Why don't the second brother be the host, please invite sister Xue and sister Lin to sit and relax?"

The courtyard at home has not been repaired, either the money is not so easy to hand, or... there is simply a quarrel between the few rooms.

Tanchun thinks it's probably the latter, so unless the second brother Bao comes forward to play host at this time, the wife and the second sister-in-law Lian will refute it.

Knowing that the concubine's younger sister was playing with her own ideas, Baoyu really wanted to say: "Third younger sister is right in my heart!"

"Talk to the old lady, and I'll write a post."

No matter how rich the Rong Mansion is, there will always be money to invite the granddaughter to come and sit.Jia's mother is happy that her grandchildren are very close to her granddaughter. If Baoyu said that she should be an owner, how could she not accept it?

On the second day, when Baoyu and his sisters were writing a post to discuss how to be the host, the princes, King Yizhong, King Suduan, King Zhongshun, and other noble clans who were "talkable" in Beijing gathered together to watch the emperor's examination. The kung fu and skills of the younger generation.

Baoyu's frequent friends, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, and Chen Yejun were all included in the school examination.

As for Jia Rong, he got Yizhong Wang's order to get under his command, and became a seventh-rank team leader, or the team leader of the cavalry.At this time, he was not in the school grounds, but in the big camp to let the old instructor of Yuning Mansion do his best~fuck~practice.

Naturally, Lin Hai was not idle—the kind that he would not be idle when he returned home.

He has already sent a lot of materials to Zuodu Censor, and when he received a letter from the south today, he naturally added a few more to the "materials"--I have to say that being an official still pays attention to the equalization of interests, you eat Meat has to leave a bowl of soup for others.But Jia Yucun was too determined to go his own way for money, and offended his deputy to the point of "please leave" Jia Yucun even if he did not hesitate to inform Lin Hai.

The backer behind the deputy has a very ordinary relationship with King Yizhong.

It's a pity that Jia Yucun is destined to suffer for Wang Ziteng. He can only hope that Wang Ziteng will continue to gain power in the future, and he will have another day to stand up again.

The reason is very simple, because King Yizhong quietly sent a message: For the time being, let’s have a truce with King Suduan, at least to clean up the Mu family who will become a country of their own outside the pass.

The result of the two sides taking a step back is that King Yizhong holds the commander's seal with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about the faction of King Suduan and King Zhongshun in the Northwest Army. , King Yizhong should not bother too much.

As for Wang Ziteng not hesitating to offend him, but also acquiescing to Jia Yucun's use of the name that can be broken at a poke, to use the lack of Yanzheng to collect 20 taels of silver... The reason why King Yizhong's confidant sent a message this time The answer was also given at the time: Wang Ziteng and the princes behind him will use this money to buy horses.

What do you buy a horse for?Lin Hai couldn't help but "hehe" in front of his wife: Judging from this trend, Wang Ziteng's sudden death one day in the future is really not wronged.

Wang Chan looked at the letter from the master to the reply, and she was speechless: I don't blame King Yizhong and King Suduan, and even the Holy One wants to guard against your line. To fight against the enemy in the northwest, you still have to secretly buy horses... your mind must be different!

Lin Hai put down his pen, and then laughed, "The child is disobedient, just beat him up." However, he didn't have the heart to gloat over Prince Teng's misfortune. This incident reminded him again that he has too few eyes and ears!

Relying on those former colleagues who are still in Jiangnan is completely impossible... If I knew it, I would not have put away those shops and industries in Jiangnan.He complained secretly, then thought about it: no, except for the old man who came to Beijing, all the rest went to Guangdong to work on the purchase of the fleet... Just like that, his old manager wrote to complain about the lack of manpower.

Lin Hai slapped his forehead with a slap, "Recently I like to forget things!"

Wang Chan hit the nail on the head, "Master is too busy, I have to do everything by myself, and mistakes will happen after a long time." After a pause, he said sincerely, "Our family has too few managers."

"It's not just the management, the staff is also very short."

Lin Hai once asked his teacher to recommend some masters to him, but Lin Hai didn't like those who came to "interview".Now these people are only allowed to be a clerk with Lao Bao, and they can't get any really important news, "Do you have a good candidate?"

Wang Chan blushed slightly and said: "I was also entrusted by someone... This family and my uncle used to have some friendship."

Oh, that's the recommendation from the old Zongling King Yi'an.

Lin Hai nodded, "What's your name, what's your background?"

Wang Chan said: "If the master agrees to meet, I will let him pass the post."

On the second day, Daiyu went to Rongfu to have a gathering with her brothers and sisters. By the way, she appeased Baochai, who couldn't get married. Jia Lian.

Lin Hai asked Jia Lian to sit beside him to keep warm—it was cold today, and Lin Hai was "commuting" by carriage.Jia Lian dismounted and was about to get into his uncle's carriage when he glanced casually and saw an acquaintance: Liu Xianglian.

But today Liu Xianglian is not a "lonely one", he went out with his uncle.

And this handsome middle-aged man recognized Jia Lian, looked at the carriage behind Jia Lian again, got off his horse and stepped forward, cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask if the servant sitting in the carriage is Master Lin?"

As soon as Lin Hai heard this, he ordered someone to lift the curtain, and he knew who it was in a flash of his mind: the new staff member recommended by his wife was Liu Xianglian's uncle.

The author has something to say: The pair of Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie will definitely be dismantled in this article.Liu Xianglian will be a famous player in the future, but also a client, um.
