The Hulk of the Red Chamber

The women from the Wang family actually have some similarities in their bones, that is, they are ruthless.At first, Wang Xifeng thought that Mrs. Wang was her own aunt, and because she saw that the eldest house was weak, and a serious mother-in-law could not stand on the stage, the old lady was partial to the second wife. Only then did Mrs. Wang come to her, and she was fooled into doing stupid things one after another.When she came back to her senses at this moment, she immediately knew that she had been used as a gun by Mrs. Wang for several years. She had been a housekeeper for so many years, and put nearly half of the dowry in it, but in the end she didn't get anything at all. He also offended a lot of people, and his good aunt got all the benefits and reputation, so he immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

If Wang Ziteng was here, I'm afraid he wouldn't make it so clear to Wang Xifeng. After all, Mrs. Wang is his sister, and Wang Xifeng is his niece who grew up by his side. The so-called palms and backs are all flesh.But the Gao family is different. The relationship between aunts and sisters-in-law is often similar to that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In Gao's eyes, when it comes to distance and closeness, it is natural that Wang Xifeng, who has been raised by her side for several years, wants to get closer. Therefore, she really planned for Wang Xifeng sincerely, and gave her an idea, telling her to go back, Just pretend to be sick, first throw out the thankless housekeeper, a hot potato, and find a gynecologist to recuperate your body.

Wang Xifeng is not a person who is willing to suffer, not to mention that she doesn't know the servants of Jia's family. The Jia family didn't want to treat the chaste women harshly, Shi Taijun was in charge, and Li Wan also had 20 taels of silver a month.But there is nothing else.Wang Xifeng thought, if she lost power, she might not even be as good as Li Wan. At least Li Wan had a son to count on, and she didn't dare to count on Jia Lian.

Therefore, from Wang Xifeng's point of view, the most important thing is the money, since I put so much dowry in, at least I have to get my own dowry back.

Now that Wang Xifeng had made up his mind, he naturally acted.You can't do loan sharks, so stop it quickly. Taking advantage of Jia Lian's return, Wang Xifeng burned two boxes full of IOUs, and warned the servants who had put loan sharks for her. Insurance, in name, sent them to work as stewards in their own village, but in fact, they quietly sent their family to the Wang family and asked Gao to help them deal with it.

In fact, many people are self-taught about things like corruption and deficit.The reason why Wang Xifeng was feared and even hated by many servants was because she was too shrewd. Under her hands, many tricks could not be used at all, so she discovered it.For such a shrewd person, if he wants to lose money, it will be even easier.

Wang Xifeng is in charge of the keys to the warehouse. She can easily turn some of the things that are easy to cash into damages on the ledger. Xiaohong beside him was promoted to a first-class maidservant, and she followed her to do things.Xiaohong was originally just a little girl in Yihong Courtyard, and she didn't even see Jia Baoyu's face, but now she is regarded as a confidant by Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng also treats her with confidence and regards her very highly.She was originally clever, but now she is loyal to Wang Xifeng. Compared with Ping'er, who used the grace of her master to buy her heart, she won Wang Xifeng's favor even more. After knowing that Wang Xifeng intended to release the housekeeper , although I have some regrets, I still try my best to help Wang Xifeng do things.

It is easy for Wang Xifeng to make money, she is not foolish to subsidize it now, people in the palace come to beat the autumn wind, and if they ask for [-], she dares to charge Madam Wang [-]. Said that there is no money in the business, and even the monthly money cannot be paid, and he talked about what kind of dowry he had pawned before, and the jewelry box was going to be empty, and forced Mrs. Wang to dig out her private house. Where to make up, she doesn't care.

Thinking about Mrs. Wang's management of the family for so many years before, how much she moved from the public house into her own private house, Wang Xifeng hated her teeth. In her opinion, these things should have been inherited by the big house.

After another period of time, although the shortfall in the dowry has not been fully made up, but because the Chinese New Year is approaching, this is a big spender, and Wang Xifeng is not willing to continue to be taken advantage of, so just after the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xifeng She started to pretend to be sick. She was tired all these years, and her health was really bad, so it was very easy to pretend. She just took the post at home and went to the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician was pre-appointed by her, and she made the false impression that she was more than popular. The imperial physician dropped her book bag for a long time, saying that Wang Xifeng had worked hard, was tired, and needed careful treatment for a year and a half. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have children in the future.

As soon as this is said, even if Madam Wang wished that the big family would be extinct, she couldn't really tell people that you are still in charge of this house, what's the use of having children!Therefore, Wang Xifeng put on a sallow and weak look, saying that she was powerless about the housekeeper's affairs, and that in the future, she still needs you, my wife, to preside over the midterms. All in all, she put on a weak look He complimented Mrs. Wang, and sent the mess of Rongguo Mansion directly to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang could only stare blankly.

At this time, Jia Lian also came back from Ping'an Prefecture. When he came back, he heard that Wang Xifeng was lying in bed to recuperate, and he was secretly happy.To be honest, Wang Xifeng is a beauty, but most men these days are somewhat chauvinistic. Jia Lian is also a child of an aristocratic family. Woman, which one is not coaxing and coaxing him, and obeying everything.Wang Xifeng's temper might be new to him at first, but after a long time, it became unbearable for him.

Wang Xifeng has a quick temper and a bad temper, and usually doesn't know how to please him as a husband. Instead, he looks down on Jia Lian in his words, talking about the Wang family and the Jia family all day long. Afraid, but, Wang Xifeng is just Wang Ziteng's niece, but Wang Xifeng is very popular with Shi Taijun, and at home is in charge of the financial power, and the servants in the family listen to Wang Xifeng more, which makes Jia Lian really hard to bear.In particular, Jia Lian is a big man with a strong blood, and has always been greedy and lustful. However, Wang Xifeng is simply a typical jealous woman who is jealous. In fact, Jia Lian's feelings are very deep, so she can't tolerate other people making out with Jia Lian. Even Ping'er, who she acquiesced, dared not have any entanglements with Jia Lian in front of her.The problem is that men and women think differently. Even if monogamy is stipulated by the law in later generations, men with a little money still have mistresses and mistresses!Besides, Wang Xifeng has a lot of flaws that I really can't bear to pick on. For example, she flatters her second wife all day long, but doesn't think much of her serious parents-in-law. The most important point is that Wang Xifeng's belly is really not up to par. So far, she has only given birth to a loser. Jia Lian is in her twenties. He really wants a son.

With so many things accumulating, the dissatisfaction in Jia Lian's heart is also accumulating, and it gradually becomes a thorn in his heart. He had an affair with Bao Er's family before, and he joked that when Wang Xifeng died, he would help Ping'er or something, which was not true. It's nonsense, he really has this idea deep in his heart.Now that he heard that Wang Xifeng was lying on the bed crookedly, he wished that Wang Xifeng, like Qin Keqing in the East Mansion, would die earlier so that he could marry a truly virtuous and virtuous wife who took her husband as the sky.

Of course, Jia Lian buried such thoughts deeply in his heart, even if he didn't dare to open his mouth to his confidantes around him, and if he accidentally revealed something in time, he quickly covered it up. After all, the Wang family at this moment, It's really not easy to mess with.Fortunately, the servants around Jia Lian didn't benefit from Wang Xifeng very much, and they didn't have any loyalty to Wang Xifeng, so even if they heard it, they kept it in their hearts.

Wang Xifeng didn't know that the person next to her pillow had such thoughts in her heart. She was concentrating on taking care of her body carefully according to the doctor's prescription so that she could give birth to a son for Jia Lian. So what, if you don't have a son, even if you are the princess Di Ji, you still can't be confident, no amount of benefits can cover this one.

The couple, without the knowledge of one of them, had gone astray.Wang Xifeng didn't see anything wrong with Jia Lian, and the two teased as usual. Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng's face was unpainted, naked, and there was still a smell of medicine in the room, so she felt a little uncomfortable. He concealed it well, said a few words of concern, then found an excuse, and went out, just in time to meet Ping'er who came in with a medicine bowl. Wearing a plum blossom hairpin with pearls, a pair of thin jade pendants on her ears, and a thin layer of makeup on her face, but the appearance of bowing her head made Jia Lian's heart warm, if it wasn't for Wang Xifeng In the room, I was going to hug him directly, even so, I stretched out my hand to touch Ping'er's body twice, and passed a look over, Ping'er understood, nodded lightly, did not speak, and continued to hold the medicine bowl Walking into the house, the two didn't notice that Xiaohong was not far away, and looked at the two people's eyebrows, and seeing this, Xiaohong frowned, feeling a little more thoughtful in her heart Seeing Jia Lian coming in this direction, he quickly turned around and avoided to the side.

At this time, it is almost the time of the New Year.

Chapter 109

People in later generations say that if you have money or not, you can go home to celebrate the New Year. However, no matter when you have money or not, there are two ways to celebrate the New Year.Let alone the poor, the so-called New Year's Eve is just for them. At the end of the year, it's almost time to collect debts. At the end of the year, you may have to sell your children.Although the Jia family has not reached this point yet, it is not much better.New Year's ceremony and so on, in fact, it's easy to say, you can change your left hand for your right hand, no matter how bad it is, there is also the warehouse in the public house, and it's almost the same after a little flipping.But, beyond that, there are plenty of places to spend your money.

Although Zhuangzi sent renters and all kinds of game and so on, these ordinary things only need to be eaten once or twice, and they cannot be placed on the table during the Chinese New Year.According to the buying practice of Jia's servants, the money spent on banquets alone costs at least a few thousand taels of silver in a year.In addition, there are other rules. According to the rules, when the Chinese New Year is coming, a few boxes of auspicious gold and silver carafe should be stamped in the house, and these will cost thousands of taels of silver.Not to mention the rules that the masters and servants should have during the Chinese New Year, because it is the end of the year, and what they need is cotton clothes, which are much more expensive than single clothes, and there are head jewelry and so on... Mrs. Wang listened to the steward's report and looked at it. The examples from previous years on the account book, I just feel upset.

If Mrs. Wang was talking about viciousness and cruelty, she would have dumped Wang Xifeng a few blocks away, but when it came to housekeeper skills, she was far behind, especially at this time when it was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, she was not enough means, and If you want to put on a tolerant and magnanimous face of Buddha, the people under your hands are only those who are more desperate to get money out of their own pockets. They are used to being slippery. One was scrambling to be the first, and Mrs. Wang was overwhelmed by all kinds of messy news, such as reporting losses and price increases. With no money in the public account, she had a headache.

Even more troublesome, Concubine Xiande once again bestowed some decent but worthless rewards from the palace. At the same time, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree once again asked for money in a fair manner, saying that Concubine Xiande wanted to use it in the palace. It's done in the palace.Mrs. Wang only has a pair of children Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu left in her life. Jia Baoyu is her darling, and Jia Yuanchun is also her hope. She still wants to have a prince as her grandson. It is also tied to Jia Yuanchun, the elder sister, so she never dared to be stingy with Jia Yuanchun. When the eunuch said that Concubine Xiande needed to go around in the palace to win the favor, she couldn't care about anything else, so she directly sent her He took out the 2000 taels of silver that he was going to buy. After hesitating for a while, he stuffed a pouch for the eunuch, which contained pearls as big as a finger.The eunuch smiled and left contentedly.

For the sake of the housekeeper, Mrs. Wang was so heartbroken that she went to the public to make up for it. She wished she could just drag Wang Xifeng up from the bed and return the housekeeper's affairs to her.It's just that Wang Xifeng is currently concentrating on nesting in her yard. The small kitchen over there smells so strong every day that people feel bitter when they smell it. He also had some thoughts behind his back, he had already won Jia Lian's heart, and then he thought of what Jia Lian said before, when Ping'er was set up after she died, she was crying and lying down again at that time. Xiao Biao's loyalty was fooled, and now she has plenty of time.

Since Wang Xifeng was able to play Jia Rui to death back then, he can naturally manage Ping'er now.She deeply hated Ping'er for playing one trick in front of her and another behind her back, stabbing her secretly, but over the years, Ping'er has already established some roots in Jia's family, not to mention the servants, just a few Master, he also praised Ping'er a lot.Therefore, it is obviously not feasible to directly kill Ping'er.Therefore, Wang Xifeng chose another path.

Because Wang Xifeng was recuperating her body and it was not easy to serve Jia Lian, she put on her old appearance and asked Ping'er to serve him personally.Many families have such a rule that before the birth of the eldest son, concubines have to drink avoidance soup, unless it is certain that the mistress will not give birth, otherwise, it is better to avoid the eldest son.The same is true for Ping'er. In order to cut off Ping'er's thoughts, Wang Xifeng directly added cinnabar to Ping'er's Bizi soup, and Bizi soup became Juezi soup.Wang Xifeng did it very covertly, and didn't use the people around her at all, so as not to let someone pick up the inside and outside, shake off the matter and tell Ping'er.

Ping'er didn't notice it at all, the taste of traditional Chinese medicine is inherently strong, unless a few people have learned it specially, some people can taste the subtle difference, but Ping'er naturally can't.This was just the first step for Wang Xifeng to deal with Ping'er. She looked coldly at this girl who had always kept her eyebrows low in front of her, but now under Jia Lian's nourishment, her face was full of spring, and she sneered in her heart.

On the Jia family's side, at the root of the year, a group of men and women are still fighting each other. Compared with the year on the historian's side, the year is much more tender.

Although Lin Daiyu is still keeping her filial piety, this does not affect her helping Mrs. Qin. When she was at home, she also drew up the gift list for three festivals and two birthdays. Take a look and modify it a little bit.Although the social circles of the Lin family and the Shi family are somewhat different, they are basically the same. Mrs. Qin has Lin Daiyu to help her, and Shi Xiangni is also helping her. This year has been much easier.

At the end of the year, the most important thing is to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. Shi Ding is now the patriarch. Although Shi Nai is not there, there are not many elders of the Shi family in the capital, but it does not delay the ancestor worship.Shi Ding and Shi Hong are the two men in the family. Women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to participate in ancestor worship these days. Therefore, when the ancestral hall was opened on New Year's Eve, only the father and son kowtowed to the ancestors. A sacrificial oration of "Pian Si Li Li Liu" was read aloud in the ancestral hall, but I was very proud of it.The historian has been thriving these years. I am in the Sacred Heart, and my son is doing well in the Imperial Academy. It is said that he will be able to make further progress in the next year, either entering the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Six Departments.The censor can hear rumors, but it is more offending people. If he enters the sixth department, he is concerned with the facts. I am afraid that it will not be easy to shine at the beginning. However, Shi Hong is still young, and it does not matter if he has a few more years of experience. Shi Hong will be able to enter the cabinet when he is less than [-] years old. Thinking of this, Shi Ding really wakes up laughing from his dreams.The only regret now is that the daughter-in-law has to keep her filial piety, and she cannot give herself a good grandson for the time being.

Speaking of the daughter-in-law, there is also a reason for Lin Daiyu to open the ancestral hall this time.Lin Daiyu had married as a historian last year. According to the rules, when she worshiped her ancestors at the end of last year, she should bring Lin Daiyu to kowtow at the door, write her name on the family tree, and set her name.It's just that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill at that time, and Shi Hong and Lin Daiyu were always taking care of the illness at the Lin family's side.Later, when Lin Ruhai passed away, the husband and wife had to attend to Lin Ruhai's funeral, help the spirit to return to his hometown, and had to abide by the law, so this matter was delayed.

Although Lin Daiyu is still in the filial piety period this year, this does not affect the ancestor worship. Therefore, after Shi Ding burned incense and cleaned his hands, he took the genealogy, turned to the page of his own family, took up a pen in person, and wrote on Shi Hong's side: Lin Daiyu's name was recognized, so that Lin Daiyu can be regarded as a real name and a member of the historian.These days, status is more important than anything else. For a family like the Shijia, only the wife can be recorded on the genealogy. As for concubines, even if they have children, they cannot leave any traces on the genealogy. Even the husband's surname cannot be given. For example, the aunts of Jia's family can only be called Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. No one will call them Jia Zhao's or Jia Zhou's.

Shi Hong helped Shi Ding dry the ink on the genealogy and put away the pen and ink. Then he closed the genealogy and put it away. Then, he followed Shi Ding out of the ancestral hall. Lin Daiyu stood outside with his hands down and waited. Then, when Shi Hong came out, he winked at her, and he was relieved.Even if Lin Ruhai raises Lin Daiyu as a man, Lin Daiyu is a girl after all, and her name is not listed in the Lin family's genealogy. Maybe when her son inherits the Lin family, maybe there will be a line behind her son's name in the genealogy. , produced by Shi Lin, and nothing else.

Lin Daiyu thought about something, and then she was in a good mood. She even cooked a sweet soup herself. Lin Daiyu usually reads a lot of books, and there are also single things in it, but this time she made sweet soup. It is delicious in color and fragrance, sweet but not greasy. In winter, it also has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing lungs. Even if you don't like sweet Shi Ding the most, you can eat two more mouthfuls to save face.The family had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and the whole family sat together to talk and watch the night. Mrs. Qin said to Lin Daiyu: "These things, just ask the servants to do them. You are the grandma of our family, so you need to wash your hands wherever you go." It's soup!"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Mother always loves my daughter-in-law, and she just does it by accident, just talking about filial piety. Could it be that the daughter-in-law's poor craftsmanship has disappointed mother?"

"If this skill is called clumsy, our cook can't even cook!" Mrs. Qin said with a smile.

Shi Xiangni interrupted and said: "Sister-in-law is such a skill, you have to teach me how to do it later, sister-in-law won't hide her secrets!"

"How could it be, sister-in-law has always been ingenious, I'm afraid I won't have anything to teach you later!" Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangni didn't have any conflicts between sisters-in-law, and they still played very well. Mrs. Qin couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, Shi Ding's eyes were also very satisfied, the family is in harmony, everything is going well, and everything in the Shi family is still running in a good direction.

Chapter 110

The historians had a very comfortable time this year. They had no financial pressure, and their future was bright. Their immediate relatives were doing well, and nothing bad happened. Therefore, everyone was very happy throughout the holiday.

It was just the new year at Jia's house, and Mrs. Wang pushed out the housekeeper's affairs in a hurry. The strange thing was that Li Wan, Tanchun, and Xue Baochai were assisting the housekeeper.Forget about Li Wan, who can barely be regarded as a decent eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and a widow is also a chaste woman, and the housekeeper can be regarded as justifiable.Tanchun has also reached the age of marriage, learning to be a housekeeper, there is no problem, although he bypassed Yingchun above, Jia She and Mrs. Xing of the big house did not say a word, who would feel wronged by Yingchun!The problem is Xue Baochai, which family will let the girl from the relative's family who lives at home help the housekeeper!The Jia family has once again become the talk of the people. Fortunately, the men and women of the Jia family are more homebound. Officials never go to the yamen, and the wives of the house rarely socialize. Nested at home, dreaming of riches and glory.

After finishing his three-year editorial life, Shi Hong went directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs and became the fifth-rank Langzhong of the Henan Qingli Department. He was promoted two ranks in a row.

However, officials of the fifth grade are responsible for common affairs, and they are still not allowed to go to the court. There are twenty or thirty doctors in the various official divisions in the household department, and the number of doctors in the other five departments is similar. To be able to go to court, no matter how big the Tai Chi Palace is built, it cannot accommodate so many people.

Shi Hong obviously has a background and connections, and he is not the kind of person who is arrogant and will not know how to behave. After a few days in the household department, no matter whether he is sincere or not, his colleagues are still polite to him. I also started to get started, and everything is going to a good place.This is the case in places like the Ministry of Household Affairs. Policy-related matters are naturally managed by the ministers and ministers above. The specific matters will fall into the hands of the officials.Shi Hong, as the doctor of the Henan Qingli Department, has two principals under his command, and the others are some low-level officials.

Shi Hong tried his best to improve the favorability of his subordinates in the position of the leader of this small department, and showed some talents appropriately, so that they would not be fooled by him as a rookie, and problems began to appear in the court.

Now the Holy Majesty has much stronger control over the court, even if he doesn't intend to reveal it, but the subjects can still see that his prestige is growing, which is the confidence and majesty that has begun to dominate the court.The Emperor Taishang contracted a cold when he was old. Even a common cold would take a long time to heal. Therefore, the Emperor Taishang is still recuperating in Shoukang Palace. People like him are destined to It's more important than anything else, so naturally I don't care about the affairs of the court.

The Concubine Gui was also sick a few days ago, no one knew what it was, but before that, her face with the Supreme Emperor was no longer that great.No matter what age, men are always visual creatures.The most important reason why the Concubine Gui was able to win the favor of the Supreme Emperor was that she was beautiful, eloquent, and understanding. However, the Concubine Gui was already about 40 years old. In these days, the average life expectancy is not high. When a woman reaches her thirties, she can almost be called old. No matter how well maintained she is, the imperial concubine will no longer be as beautiful as before, and the wrinkles on her face will gradually increase.And at the right time, the Holy Majesty asked someone to prepare a few women who were very in line with the Taishanghuang's aesthetics and had been specially trained to be very knowledgeable and interesting, and put them in front of the Taishanghuang.Encountering such a beauty, the Supreme Emperor is still a man, so there is no reason not to be tempted, so he naturally endured it unceremoniously.

With a newcomer who is as beautiful as a flower, the old one who is already old and decrepit will naturally fall in love with him. Although the imperial concubine has a noble character, she also has a son who is a prince, but she is still a concubine after all. She has never had a good impression of her, even though the Empress Dowager didn't have much love for the Empress Dowager, but she lost her favor early on when she occupied the Empress Dowager all the year round, making the Empress Dowager at the same age as the Concubine Gui. Poor gas.Now, the Empress Dowager has suddenly become the most honorable woman in the world because she has a son who is the emperor. Nodding or something, now that the imperial concubine has not seen the Supreme Emperor for a long time, the Supreme Empress thought about it and then made a move.

As a result, the imperial concubine fell ill not long after, aging at an extremely fast speed, even if the emperor thought of this concubine whom he had loved for 20 years, he would not dare to recognize her if he stood in front of her.

The Holy Majesty also started his probing of the Supreme Emperor, so suddenly, more people impeached the Zhen family, a large number of censors, a snowflake of papers, flew to the imperial case, all belonged to the Zhen family guilt.At the beginning, the Holy Majesty stayed in the middle school, but there was an endless stream of similar books, all kinds of crimes, such as shorting the treasury bank, embezzlement and bribery, slavery and murder, occupying good land, robbing civilian women, disregarding human life, and private release. Loan usury, champerty lawsuits... The sum of the various charges is enough to kill the Zhen family dozens of times.These crimes are not the most serious, and the more serious ones have not yet come out. Who doesn't know that the Zhen family has overshadowed the sky in the south of the Yangtze River, even daring to kill officials ordered by the court, and now they are still following the Twelve Princes, trying to usurp the throne!It's just that this touched the most sensitive nerve of the Supreme Emperor, and the Holy Majesty remained calm for the time being, what would he do with his self-righteous younger brother when the Zhen family was gone!At that time, whether it is killing or trapping, it will all depend on the will of the Holy Majesty!

The sage pretended to stay a few times, and then ran to Shoukang Palace, pretending to be distressed to discuss with the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was not in good health, but his temper was extremely arrogant, so he directly taught him that he was not dead yet, you I just want to teach me a lesson to be the old man next to me, don't you wish I could just die.

Even if he really thought so in his heart, the sage couldn't say it out loud. These days, the etiquette is still above the law, and the two characters of loyalty and filial piety are actually the core of etiquette. Therefore, even the emperor, It must not be charged with unfilial piety.

The Emperor Taishang encountered a setback, and the Holy One was not in a hurry. The impeachment in the court still did not stop. The Zhen family's power in the court was retreating steadily. Jia Yucun, who was promoted to Zuodu censor, directly wrote an excerpt, saying that when the Zhen family was in office in the south of the Yangtze River, they practiced nepotism, embezzled salt tax, and murdered court officials.

This person in Jia Yucun is very good at drilling camps. At this point, the Jia family and even the Wang family can no longer give him much help. He also has foresight and knows that the throne is now secure. Unless the princes are willing to join forces and take risks, otherwise, there is no way Shake the position of the Holy Majesty, so he immediately shifted his position, not caring about the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family. Even when he was in Jinling, because of the Jia family, the Zhen family cared about him. My son heard the wind, and saw that the Holy Master intended to clean up the Zhen family. At the beginning, he followed the trend and participated in the impeachment of the Zhen family by the censors. loyalty.

Jia Yucun's action really tickled the itch of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty directly issued an order this time. The Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will jointly examine the case of the Zhen family. The Zhen family provoked public outrage, and if it was lightly let go, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction. Therefore, it was handed over to the three divisions for a joint trial, so as to return the Zhen family's innocence.But that being said, even if the Supreme Emperor trusted the Zhen family, he knew that the Zhen family would never be innocent.

Now that the Zhen family has reached this stage, the only ones that can be entrusted to them are the twelfth prince and the noble concubine's mother and son. The twelve prince himself is still relying on the Zhen family. Before it's too late, no one dares to risk his head to intercede with the Zhen family. Therefore, he just came up with a mess of ideas on the sidelines, telling the Zhen family to quickly find a way to erase the criminal evidence, and during the trial, they refused to admit it. Because of the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the Concubine Gui, the Ministry of Punishment would definitely not dare to use torture, and the Twelfth Prince also thought it was a good idea if something happened, so he hurriedly ordered someone to send news to the Zhen family.

The noble concubine also got the news smoothly, and she was shocked at the moment. She has been favored for many years. In addition to her own reasons, there is also the reason of her natal family's ability. She will also be implicated, and most importantly, her son, who originally wanted to win the championship, will also be in vain. Right now, he is holding on to his sick body, demanding to see the Supreme Emperor, and interceding for the Zhen family.

If the imperial concubine was still the same as before, the Supreme Emperor might soften her heart. Now, the one kneeling in front of the Supreme Emperor is a man with gray hair, wrinkled face, and several layers of makeup. The old woman who fell was startled all of a sudden, even if she had some thoughts at first, it was gone now.

Men are originally visual creatures, but they haven't seen each other for half a year. The little wife who was still charming suddenly turned into an old woman with chicken skin and white hair. In love, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, comforted the concubine Gui, and repeated what the emperor's son had fooled him, that is, as long as the Zhen family was really wronged, then he would definitely pay the Zhen family back. a justice.

How well the Grand Concubine understands the Supreme Emperor, she felt so sad and desperate at the moment, she threw herself at the Supreme Emperor's feet, pleading, and wept endlessly, the tears of a beauty are naturally pear blossoms with rain, I feel pity, the Grand Concubine is even beautiful now The side is not very close, and he is a little embarrassed, and there is no beauty when he cries. The Supreme Emperor faces this lovely concubine who has been with him for many years, and then looks at the delicate and exquisite new favorite, and compares the two , I couldn't help but feel bored, so I lowered my face and scolded the Concubine Gui. People took the noble concubine back to the palace to recuperate.

After returning to the palace, the noble concubine fell ill, and the Zhen family in prison urgently hoped that the noble concubine would give her a cure.

PS. There are a few missing words in this chapter to be filled - YO

Chapter 111

The death of the noble concubine triggered a series of chain reactions. The old lady of the Zhen family, who was quite confident at home, held on to an agarwood stick bestowed by the emperor every day, and called for the emperor to judge her, fell ill and had a stroke. The old lady is already in her 80s, and she never got better from this disease, but after three days, even if the Zhen family invited countless master doctors, even if they are miracle doctors, they can cure the disease. But it can't be cured. Once the old lady of the Zhen family died, the Zhen family lost another amulet. After hearing the news, Zhen Tiren, who was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, immediately vomited blood. The Zhen family members who were running around were also extremely panicked, each and every one of them was like frightened birds.

The death of the Concubine Gui is also a blow to the Emperor, not because of the affection the Emperor has for the Concubine Gui. In fact, this kind of thing is very common. The Concubine Gui is much younger than the Emperor. She passed away suddenly at this moment. The emperor, who is old and not in good health, has a sense of crisis. He knows that only by being alive can he enjoy the current power and wealth. Regardless of the fact that the emperor likes to build magnificent imperial tombs, he wants to enjoy the glory underground after death Wealthy, but why do those emperors still want to live forever, because everyone actually doesn't know what they will look like after death, so it is more in their interest to live for a long time.

The emperor was very sad, he was sad about the passing of his years, and wrote a good poem for the noble concubine.
