The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

Regarding the matter of Quanzhou Shipping Department, Tu Yan did not dare to delay, so he went to the palace on the same day to ask for peace, and personally talked about it with the emperor.

The emperor's eyes changed slightly, and he thought of countless possibilities in an instant, and finally looked at Tu Yan in front of him, feeling regretful, guilty and relieved.Somehow, the emperor asked him: "You'an, what do you think about this matter?"

Tu Yan was also slightly surprised, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Although my son does not participate in politics, he has traveled to Quanzhou in the past and knows the abundance of maritime trade taxes. This place is like the Jiangnan Salt Administration, which is an important source of finance for the imperial court. One, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is coveted and fought endlessly, and Quanzhou is probably the same."

"Details." The emperor asked again.

"The Shibo Department is responsible for the management of maritime trade ships. It is similar to the Li Fan Yuan, but not as high-ranking as the Li Fan Yuan. The position of the Shi Ship Envoy is mostly at the fifth rank, and occasionally it will not exceed the fourth rank. Even if the officials of the Shi Ship Department are corrupt When accepting bribes, they will only ask for money from the shipowner in various names, but they will not say that the quotations are fake. Once the quotations are fake and involve a lot of people, all the officials of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department will not be able to escape the responsibility. If you are loyal to the affairs of the court, you should have reported this matter long ago, but so far there has been no rumor in the court. Furthermore, the Secretary of Shipbuilding confiscated the allegedly forged document and ordered the owner to pay enough fines to redeem the merchant ship. , and all the goods in the ship will be confiscated. My son thinks that a mere city ship envoy would not have the guts to do such a thing, and there must be a master envoy after him. A sum of money. My son guesses that Baron Lawrence’s matter is not an exception, and in addition to setting up a scheme to extort money from the shipowner, I am afraid that the tax revenue of the Municipal Ship Department will also be involved.”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "That Yan Yucong had worked in the Lifan Academy and knew a lot about various countries. I'm afraid he also saw through the fact that the foreign businessman's title was bought, so he was not afraid. He didn't expect that this businessman would find Come from the capital." The emperor also had speculations about the mastermind behind the scenes, whether it was the sons, the prince respecting the filial piety, or simply someone from the Supreme Emperor.After all, there is no one to worry about.

"You'an's health has improved a lot since getting married." The emperor suddenly said with emotion.

Tu Yan said with a smile: "To tell the truth, my father, I also feel much better than before, at least not like in previous years, where I had to boil medicine in three to five days. I am really afraid of smelling the smell of medicine."

The emperor couldn't help laughing, and said with kindness in his eyes: "It's very good, and it will save me and your mother from worrying about it day and night." Then he asked: "You are in good health, what do you want to do?"

"Thank you for your father's concern. My son-in-law is powerless now, and he can only take care of his illness. My son is ashamed. I can't share my father's worries, but make my father worry." Tu Yan naturally heard the emperor's temptation, but in the temptation It was all cautious and caring, and he felt warm and complicated at the same time.The emperor's paternal love for him was pure and sincere, but it was mixed with guilt and compensation, and because he was the only legitimate son, the only adult son who did not participate in politics.

The emperor was a little disappointed, but he also knew that everything should not be forced, and he sighed: "I have grown older in the past two years, but none of your brothers can worry about it."

But this is the royal brothers, and they have come here in all dynasties.

Tu Yan came out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to Fengyi Palace, talked with the queen for a while, and then returned to the mansion with Lin Qingyun.Lin Qingyun wanted to talk to him, but saw him leaning on the back of the chair after getting into the car, with his eyes closed and motionless.Lin Qingyun didn't disturb him, and looked out along the yellow window screen, thinking about her own affairs.

Just after returning to the mansion, Xiangsi handed over a post: "Princess, this is from Miss Xue from the Jia family."

Hong Ling at the side was pouring tea, and asked in surprise, "What is Miss Xue from Jia's family?"

Xiangsi pursed her lips and smiled: "I was just being lazy and saved a few words. The eldest daughter of the Xue family is the niece of the second wife of the Jia family. She lives temporarily in Rongguo Mansion and usually stays with the three girls of the Jia family."

Lin Qingyun read the post, and it turned out that the 21st of the first lunar month was Xue Baochai's birthday, and Jia's mother paid for Baochai's birthday.Xue Baochai is one year older than her, and this year happens to be Jiji's year, so it's reasonable to have a birthday, but Jia Mu will do it...

Suddenly recalling the content in the original book, Daiyu was once teased by an actor on Baochai's birthday, but because of her status as a sojourner, she dared not even get angry casually.On the other hand, in the original book, Jia's mother organized Jiji's 15th birthday for Xue Baochai with impure intentions, and Jia's mother only paid 20 taels of silver. What is 20 taels enough for the big family to hold a banquet?In the original book, Wang Xifeng joins in for her birthday, and a young lady pays 12 taels. Even if Baochai is no better than Sister Feng, she can't be too cold.

In the old days, the family held a Jiji banquet for the daughter, which represented the girl's adulthood and also indicated that she was allowed to marry.

Mother Jia had always wanted to bring Daiyu and Baoyu together, but now that Daiyu is engaged to Zhuang Li, it does not mean that Mother Jia will allow Xue Baochai to come in.Jia's mother has a high vision, and she has her own account in her heart. She looks down on Baochai for no other reason than the bad family background of Xue's family.No matter how rich Xue's family is, they are only imperial merchants, and they are already on the verge of defeat, just like Jia's family is only an empty shell, what benefits can the two families get from marrying?Jia's mother hopes to form a marriage to help Jia's family and Baoyu. Even if Daiyu can't do it, there is still Shi Xiangyun.After all, the historian has a family of two princes, and it is also Jia Mu's natal family, so they are naturally of one mind with Jia Mu, which is very important for Jia Mu to continue to control the Jia family's right to speak.

"Are you going?" Tu Yan asked her.

Lin Qingyun nodded: "My younger sister must have received the post too. After all, the girl from Xue's family had a date, and it was Jiji's birthday when she was 15 years old. Since she sent the post, she has nothing to do. It's good to go there and take a look at Jia's house by the way." A few sisters." After a pause, he smiled meaningfully: "I can also visit their Grand View Garden by the way."

Tu Yan also laughed: "Now the first month is not over yet, the ground has not thawed, there are no flowers and grass, what is there to go shopping? It's better to wait until March and April."

"It's not our family's garden, I'm used to being picky. Didn't you get the garden map of the Grand View Garden?" Lin Qingyun still felt weird thinking about this festival. They separated and got a garden map from Jia She.

"Yelao Shanzi's garden is really exquisitely designed, but our garden is not bad either." Tu Yan said in his mouth, but he was planning in his heart when he would build another Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Lin Qingyun didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked Xiangsi to reply to the Xue family's post, then sent Hong Ling and the others, and asked him: "What does the emperor say when you enter the palace?"

Tu Yan moved the plate of ginkgo fruit to him, peeled the fruit and said, "Father attaches great importance to it, and I think he will investigate secretly. You don't need to worry about Lawrence, even if Father believes me, he will still check with Lawrence, let alone this matter. This is not an exception."

Seeing what he said, Lin Qingyun didn't ask any more questions.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, Lin Qingjun went to Lin's house first, and then went to Jia's house with Daiyu.Now Lin Qingyun's identity is not what it used to be. Knowing her arrival in advance, all the female family members of the Jia family greeted her at the Yimen.It's all for others, but Jiamu is old and Daiyu's grandmother, Lin Qingyun will never accept her gift.There were no outsiders on this day, because Lin Qingyun was invited, You Shi from the East Mansion also came to accompany, and there were a few sisters, so it was quite lively.

Lin Qingyun noticed that there was no Jia Baoyu at the table today.

Lin Qingjun sat at the table, and only Jia's mother was at the same table.Mrs. Xing Wang sat with Youshi and Aunt Xue, Jia Jia Sanchun, Daiyu, Xiangyun and today's birthday star Baochai.These little opera singers were specially raised by Jia's mansion to prepare for the provincial relatives.

"Princess, please order a play." Jia Mu said.

Lin Qingyun smiled and declined again and again: "I'm not afraid of the old lady's jokes, I don't understand these things, so let's ask Miss Xue to order, she is a birthday star today."

When Jia Mu saw what she said, she ordered the playbook to be sent to Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai was naturally modest, but with Lin Qingjun politely refusing, and Jia Mu didn't allow her to refuse very much, Xue Baochai had to order one, but it was not "Journey to the West" in the original work, but "A Tour in the Garden" in "The West Chamber". A play sung when visiting relatives in Yuanchun.Then Xue Baochai came to Lin Qingjun with the playbook in hand and asked her to order a play.

This time it's hard to push it any further. Lin Qingyun watched the track, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "That's it. If Second Mistress Lian was here, she would definitely order this one too."

When Jia Mu watched it, it was "Liu Er Dang Yi", and she laughed immediately: "This is a lively show."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You all ordered plays one after another.

After watching the play, Jia Mu ordered Xiaodan and the clown to be called, and she was even more sympathetic when she looked closely.As said in the book, when asked about their age, they were given meat and fruit, but because Lin Qingyun was present and it was difficult to pass, no money was given.Lin Qingyun didn't care about that, but just thought, now that Wang Xifeng is not here, no one said that, the thing about Bixie will never happen again, right?What's more, Baoyu is not here.

But just as the thought flashed across his mind, Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "This child looks familiar, but I can't remember who it looks like."

No one else answered, only Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I see, she looks a bit like Sister Lin."

The originally lively banquet was suddenly quiet because of these words, and everyone looked at Shi Xiangyun, surprised, puzzled, and gloated in various ways.

Shi Xiangyun also reacted, his expression changed, he hurriedly looked at Daiyu beside him, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Lin, I didn't mean to..."

"Young girl Yun is still so outspoken! Sister Lin should punish you with a glass of wine." Jia's mother made a reassurance, not because she was worried that Daiyu would be annoyed, but because she didn't want Lin Qingyun to have a rift with Jia's mother.

Although Lin Qingyun didn't like Xiangyun's words, he hated Mrs. Wang even more. If her words hadn't come first, Shi Xiangyun wouldn't have said them.Why Wang Xifeng said that in the original book is hard to say, but Mrs. Wang's move has a lot of meaning.Mrs. Wang is definitely not targeting Daiyu. After all, Daiyu is engaged, and the Lin family is very powerful. Mrs. Wang can't make trouble with Daiyu. In this way, the person who designed it was actually Shi Xiangyun.Shi Xiangyun walked around in Jia's mansion since he was a child, and everyone knows that he is outspoken and outspoken. Madam Wang's plan is sure to make Shi Xiangyun offend Daiyu and make a fool of herself in front of Lin Qingyun and Jia's mother, in this way to express her unwillingness to let Shi Xiangyun be her daughter-in-law determination.

It has nothing to do with Lin Qingyun who Mrs. Wang chooses as her daughter-in-law, but she shouldn't use Daiyu's reputation as a raft!

Just as she was worried, Daiyu smiled and said, "Grandmother punished you very well. Today is the first time you catch Yun girl, and you must punish her with a glass of wine." As she spoke, she brought the wine glass in front of Shi Xiangyun to Shi Xiangyun's mouth, and personally After pouring Shi Xiangyun to drink, he went to see the little opera singer, nodded and said, "But you're not wrong, it does look familiar, it's hard for her. I learned to sing at a young age, I don't know how much I have suffered."

Lin Qingyun continued: "It's strange that I just thought this Xiaodan looked kind. If it wasn't for the Xiande concubine, I would have asked the old lady to give up her love." Whether the ending is really dead or not, at least it looks vivid and lovable now.He ordered Egret to give the reward.

With Lin Qingjun's statement, other people have expressed their opinions no matter what, and the senior official has benefited.

Today's events can be regarded as the past.

Things have changed a long time ago, Daiyu Xiangyun never got angry, Baoyu was not there, Baochai never gave him a lecture on "Parasite Grass", and Baoyu never planted the idea of ​​becoming a monk.

Changing clothes during the banquet, she asked Xichun curiously, and then she realized that because of her presence, Mrs. Wang said that Baoyu should avoid taboos when she was old, so she didn't invite Baoyu to the banquet.It is also said that Jia's mother moved Baoyu to the outer courtyard on purpose, just because there were too many things to take care of for a while, but Baoyu made a fuss, and she didn't want to go out to live just because she was afraid of Jia Zheng.

At the end of the banquet, the mother and daughter of the Xue family returned to their residences, and everyone else also dispersed. It was obvious that the atmosphere was not as good as it was at the beginning of the banquet.Others may not understand, but as Jia Mu's personal maid, Yuanyang has witnessed everything, but she is aware of the confrontation between Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang during the dinner.

Mrs. Wang was supposed to be locked up in the Buddhist hall, but today is her niece's birthday, and it's unreasonable not to attend. Besides, the first month is not over, and the news that Mrs. Wang is ill is not good, so Mother Jia ordered her to come out.Who would have thought Mrs. Wang never gave up, but she said those words during the banquet, almost offending Prince Chun's residence and the Lin family together, she is simply a fool!

The mandarin ducks had just brought tea when they suddenly heard Jia Mu say, "Go and call the old man."

Waiting for Jia Amnesty to come over, unexpectedly, Jia's mother told him about the exchange of residences between the two rooms.Because the empress had just finished the kissing, and it was the first lunar month, Jia She planned to wait until February to choose an auspicious day to move. He was more anxious than anyone else, and he was afraid that things would change if it was too late. Unexpectedly, the old lady would take the initiative to mention it. Jia Amnesty's first thought was not joy, but doubts and vigilance.

"The third day of junior high school is a good day. I changed the house on that day, so I don't have to worry about it early." Jia's mother was tired, and ignored what Jia She thought, and waved him out.

In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, the Rongguo Mansion moved aggressively. Jia She and his wife moved into the Rongxi Hall, but Jia Zheng and his wife lived in the East Courtyard.The servants talked a lot, but they only thought that the elder finally wanted to be the actual person in power, and he didn't know about the separation of the two houses, and Mother Jia didn't want to make it public, so she just moved out, and Jia Amnesty sent all the people in the house to the house. When they were convened together, they only explained the matter and clearly divided the subordinates in the mansion.

Jia She was originally thinking of bringing Yingchun to live here. Anyway, his only daughter will be able to help Lian'er in finding a good marriage in the future.Unexpectedly, within two days, the empress in the palace issued a decree, ordering Baoyu and all the sisters to live in the garden. Baoyu and others were happy, but Jia Amnesty was annoyed.

Now it’s no different than before, the family is divided, and each house is in charge of each house. Those who live in the garden have to be taken care of everywhere. It’s not a small expense after all.Furthermore, the Grand View Garden was not counted in the name of the family division, but the garden was dead, so it would belong to the Rongguo Mansion and be counted under the name of their eldest family.

Sure enough, as soon as this matter came out, the two houses argued hard and refused to pay more money.

Jia Zheng ignored common affairs, but Mrs. Wang was not an idle person. Even though she was locked up in the Buddhist hall now, she was still in charge of the affairs of the second house, and Jia Zheng could not take care of them by herself.So confinement is just a formality, and Jia Amnesty didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, the family has been separated, even if Mrs. Wang continues to go out and dance, it's none of his business.

Jia's mother got a headache from the quarrel between the two rooms, and her liver hurt from anger, so she simply said: "That's all! It's my own grandchildren after all, you parents don't care, my wife cares."

Because of this sentence, Jia Zheng, a filial son, was annoyed, he scolded Mrs. Wang, and then said: "Old lady, don't say that. I agree with elder brother. Since the two families have separated, then each of them will have his own mission." fee."

Mother Jia waved her hand, looking tired: "That's all! There is only one second girl in the first house, but there is Baoyu's third girl in the second house. Baochai is also a relative of the second house, and there is Lange, mother and son, and Xichun. Anyway, there is no separate family in this garden, from now on it will be managed by my wife, and all the expenses in it will be paid by me, which has nothing to do with you."

"After all, it is the old lady who loves her grandchildren." Jia Amnesty complimented her shamelessly, and suddenly said: "Second brother also has brother Huan. Baoyu has lived in the garden since he was 13 years old, so it's not good to favor one over the other. Besides We also have Brother Cong in our big house, he is a child, and he has always wanted to visit the garden."

"They are all my grandsons, so naturally they also live in the garden!" Jia's mother didn't know Jia She's stingy thoughts, so she didn't bother to get angry.

Jia Amnesty then stopped talking. Although Jia Zheng was ashamed, he didn't speak again under Mrs. Wang's signal.

Baoyu and his sisters gathered in the living room, discussing where to live in the garden. In fact, he liked the Yihong Courtyard when he visited the garden earlier, and thought the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was suitable for Daiyu, but it was a pity that Daiyu couldn't come and live there.Thinking of this, Baoyu was in a low mood and lost his energy.

On the 22nd, Baoyu, Sanchun and Baochai moved into the garden.Baoyu lives in Yihong Courtyard, Baochai lives in Hengwuyuan, Yingchun lives in Zhuijinlou, Tanchun lives in Qiushuangzhai, Xichun lives in Ouxiangxie, Li Wan and Jialan live in Daoxiang Village. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion was left to Xiangyun, and another Qingtang courtyard was given to Jia Huan and Jia Cong. In addition, Miaoyu lived in the Quicui Nunnery, and the Grand View Garden was very lively.

Daiyu was picked up by Jiamu to live for a few days, and she was invited to visit the garden. She didn't live in the garden at night, but lived with Jiamu.Mother Jia was also very cautious about whether she was engaged, so she never mentioned letting her live in the garden.

When she fell asleep at night, Mother Jia looked at Daiyu and couldn't help sighing: "I thought about keeping Yu'er by my side for the rest of my life, but now I see that she is someone else's daughter-in-law."

Now that Daiyu is grown up, she can't understand the meaning of Jia's mother's words. Although she has no thoughts about what happened in Jia's house back then, Jia's mother's love for her is true, and she also has a heart of admiration and respect for Jia's mother.Now that Jia's mother is in her seventies, she has silver hair, but she still has to worry about the Jia family, which makes her very sad.

Recalling what Lin Qingyun said to her last time, just in time, she said in a low voice: "There is something that Yu'er shouldn't have said, but..."

"It's just the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren. You have something to say." Mother Jia patted the back of her hand to encourage her.

Only then did Daiyu vaguely mention: "Sister Bao has passed her 15th birthday, and the second sister is one year older than Sister Bao."

Jia's mother was slightly stunned: "Yes, the second girl is sixteen."

This topic ended here, and no one continued to talk about it.

Peach blossoms bloom in March, which is another good time for spring.Lin Qingyun received a post from Princess Yongjia asking her to go out for a trip in the city. She replied to the post and invited Daiyu to go with her.The weather is warm these days, and Tu Yan's spirit is getting better. Hearing Ta Chun's thoughts, he goes with her.Lin Qingyun first ordered the carriage to go to the Lin Mansion, went out of the city with Daiyu, and joined Shilipo and Princess Yongjia.

In February and March, there are a lot of weddings, and when the horse-drawn carriage reaches the main street, you will see the procession of seeing off the relatives approaching with drums and gongs.Tu Yan ordered the carriage to lean against the side, and Lin Qingyun hurriedly ordered people to look at Daiyu who was following behind, in case the horse was startled by too many people.While waiting, Lin Qingjun looked at the sending team and noticed the difference.

"Which adult will marry a daughter? The dowry is so rich."

Tu Yan said with a smile: "Weiqing is not guilty of what you said? Looking around the capital now, which married woman has a generous dowry given by Mr. Lin? That is really red makeup."

"Who made my adoptive father love me?" Lin Qingyun said with a smile.

Tu Yan didn't argue with her, but listened carefully to the comments of the passers-by outside, and said, "It's Zhao Yushi's granddaughter who got married."

"Zhao Yushi? The granddaughter of Zuodu Yushi Zhao Ke? Husband's family name is Zhang?" Lin Qingyun was quite surprised.

"Well, it's his house." Seeing her like this, Tu Yan suddenly remembered that she had been engaged before, but most outsiders didn't know about it. "Do you know why the Zhang family divorced you?"

Lin Qingyun shook her head. She really didn't know, but she didn't care: "No matter what, it's a thing of the past, and it's useless to talk about it. In contrast, I'm more curious about how the girl from the Zhao family became her current temper? I heard that she It wasn't like this before."

Seeing her staring at him, Tu Yan smiled helplessly: "How could I know?"

"Then do you know?" Lin Qingyun knows many things about him now, for example, when he was not in the capital, there were still people collecting news about her in the capital, for example, before getting married, the emperor gave him all the information about her that he had found, and for example He knew early on that the Shangwen Building was her property, and he also found out her identity early on.

"I heard about it." Tu Yan didn't deliberately inquire about Zhao Yunshuang, but because of his grandfather Zhao Ke, he accidentally learned about the Zhao family's secret.Seeing that she seemed interested, I had no choice but to talk to her: "The girl is nineteen this year?"

"Nineteen last year, twenty this year." This age is definitely a late marriage in this dynasty.

"That was six or seven years ago."
