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

The author has something to say: It was very difficult to log in to the website today, and it took me a long time to post an article.

When the play kicked off, everyone took play sheets in their hands, with the title of the play written on it.Lin Qingyun glanced at "Pipa Ji".She doesn't like to watch operas, but it's marked as Yue opera, and remembers that the accents of Yue opera are soft and poignant, which mellows her ears.Watching the content of the play again, I suddenly lost interest.

This pipa story is about a scholar who was forced by his father to go to Beijing to take the exam after marriage, won the first prize, and was forced to enter the prime minister's mansion as his son-in-law.His wife served her parents-in-law at home, and when there was a famine, her parents-in-law died of famine, singing and begging all the way to the capital to find her husband.The daughter of the prime minister's mansion invited him into the mansion and helped the husband and wife reunite, and the story of the reunion of the three of them returning home together.

Lin Qingyun had only one thought after watching it: Nonsense!

Although she doesn't like to watch theaters, she does watch a lot of them every day when she has social occasions. She can't blame Jiamu for saying that those dramas are all based on the same story, even if they don't talk about talents and beauties, most of them are just the same.Just like this set of "The Story of the Pipa", there are several plays in it. What disgusts her the most is that the scholar in it has a forced and helpless attitude from the beginning to the end. Instead of remarrying his wife, he got two virtuous and good wives If he is not so cowardly, if he fights hard with reason, he is afraid that he will be able to return to his hometown after winning the first prize, his parents will not die of famine, and his wife will not suffer such suffering.

This is also one of the reasons why she doesn't like to watch operas. It's boring if you don't understand, but you feel bored if you understand.

He glanced at the others, but listened intently.

It's really good to abandon the story itself, just listen to the singing and words, and then look at the appearance.Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu are about the same age, only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, but for opera singers, especially those who sing Dan roles, they are already old, and their voices are not as good as when they were twelve, three or fourteen years old.Boys have a voice change period when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, which is also a catastrophe for actors. When Qi Guaner wanted to leave the palace, it may not be convenient to consider it.He is favored because of his singing, but if he can't sing, he will be in a dire situation.

I only heard the eldest princess say: "I've heard this Qiguaner's play before, but I can't imagine that after a few years, this voice is still good, which is rare. It's just a little different from before."

Lin Qingyun pays more attention to appearance and figure, and Jiang Yuhan is really beautiful in makeup.

After listening to the two-fold play, the servants said back and forth that the banquet was ready, so they moved to the lotus pond to sit.All the people here are royal family members, but there are high-ranking women with low orders, and there are also those like Lin Qingyun who are low-ranked but have high orders. Therefore, there is no big table arranged, just like a small banquet. Everyone sits alone, and there is also a good relationship. Put together side by side.Lin Qingjun sat with Princess Yongjia, and Concubine Gao was sitting next to Mrs. Zhen, but no one came to join her.

Before the banquet began, Princess Zhongshun smiled and said: "You must be suspicious in your heart, guessing why I held a banquet today. Let me tell the truth, if I don't tell you that you can't even eat wine. Our prince has an imperial mission, and we will be there next month. Leaving Beijing, I will go with the prince, the son and wife will stay in the mansion to take care of them. They are young, and the prince and I will not be here. If there is anything to do in the mansion, I will have to ask everyone to help. When I come back, I will definitely Thanks a lot."

Everyone was surprised.

Several concubines of the county looked at each other, but they never got any news. The princess of Dingjun was the most stable, and asked with a smile: "We haven't heard anything about such a big event. When did it happen? Emperor Zhongshun What kind of errand does Uncle take? Where are you going? In the past, the family members were in Beijing, so why is Aunt Huang willing to work together?"

A series of questions came out, no matter how calm the face was, the truth was missed.

Princess Zhongshun didn't take it seriously, she still smiled and said: "It's not that we hid it tightly. I just got this job two days ago. I was surprised when I heard it. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never left the capital since I was so old." , I heard that this time we can go together with the coke. Our Huiyi and daughter-in-law are so greedy, but they don't want to go. It is the emperor's grace to be able to go this time. Everyone knows the temperament of your uncle. , if I don’t watch from the side, I might not know how to mess around. Speaking of the origin of this errand, you probably all know that there is another auspicious disturbance in the south, and the prince is there for this matter.”

Lin Qingjun also heard about the auspiciousness. At the end of last year, he said that he had found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. .Although they are not in the same county, they are all located in the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The imperial court questioned local officials deliberately creating auspiciousness for their merits.

Lin Qingyun was also surprised, not because someone made auspicious signs, but because of the county magistrates.Being next to each other, they are regarded as "neighbors", and the other party's actions must be clear, not to mention the auspicious events reported to the court, why are they reported one after another?Is it true or false, or is it true?

Tu Yan said at the time that the motives of the three county magistrates were not pure, and they must have been involved in other things.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court would send Prince Zhongshun to investigate the matter.

Changing clothes during the banquet, Lichun brought in water from the outside, handed the basin to the little girl, avoided people and gave Lin Qingyun a note, and said: "Just now I went to the waiter to ask for water, and I met the girl next to Princess Chengjun. That girl stuffed this to me and said she wanted me to hand it over to the princess."

Lin Qingyun frowned slightly, and when he opened the note, he frowned even more.

After returning to the banquet, Mrs. Zhen had already left the banquet early, saying that she was worried about the young prince in the mansion.

Back at the mansion, Tu Yan was at home, and because he was talking about Prince Zhongshun going to the south, Tu Yan ordered the maids to retreat, and just said to her: "Prince Zhongshun went to the south not only for the sake of auspiciousness, but also for inspection. River course. In previous years, there were dangerous news all over the Yellow River at this time. This year, Henan, Anhui and other places have reported disasters, which is better than in previous years. After all, prevention has been strict in recent years, but few disasters have been reported in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and only a few are understatements. The emperor was not at ease, fearing that there would be another person who concealed the truth and did not report it, so he asked Prince Zhongshun to take advantage of the situation."

Lin Qingjun nodded when he heard the words, and went to look at Brother Rui. When he came over, he saw Chu Yang woke up and was arguing with Tu Yan.

"Mother, hug me." Chu Yang is now one and a half years old. Although he can't speak a sentence, he can speak a lot of words. It's rare that he can speak clearly. When he yelled out the little milky voice, it made people's hearts melt.It's still early for Chuyang to develop teeth, and now he has two big teeth, he can eat a lot of things, and he doesn't make any fuss when eating and sleeping.

He took Chuyang into his arms, weighed it, and felt that it seemed to be a little heavier, and then saw that his little arms and legs were all chubby, and he gritted his teeth while teasing his little face: "Little fat man, the food is really worth it!" , net growth."

Chu Yang was so teased that she giggled and kissed her face with a pair of small hands, licking her face with saliva.

Tu Yan hugged the little guy over with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "This bastard, he learned it from somewhere."

Lin Qingyun wiped his face with a handkerchief and smiled: "Who did he learn from? He eats so fat, and other people look cute, and they hug him when they see him, and kiss him twice from time to time. Didn't he just learn it?"

Tu Yan also laughed, and suddenly asked her: "You were very preoccupied when you first came back, what were you thinking about?"

Lin Qingyun told about Zhen's matter: "She asked me to meet at the Muni Temple outside the city on the first day of junior high school. Looking at the situation today, she is in a really bad situation. She is restricted even from going out alone. If she wants to talk to me in private, she has to It came secretly. I am suspicious, even if the Zhen family has collapsed, Concubine Qi Shu's mother and son don't like this concubine, so they shouldn't be so defensive, right? If they are really afraid, there may be some way to make Zhen's sick in bed."

Tu Yan didn't pay attention to other things, and only said: "Since she wants to ask you to meet, I'm afraid she has something to ask for."

"Please?" Lin Qingyun couldn't help but frown when she thought of Zhen's words during the banquet. If Zhen wanted to ask her to save Xiao Shizi... It's not that she was reluctant to part with a golden lotus seed. What she was afraid of was that the secret would be revealed. Many people come to beg, how does she deal with it?Everyone understands the truth of Huai Bi's crime. Now that she has two sons, it is absolutely impossible to take risks. What's more, to put it ruthlessly, there is no reason for Zhen Shi and that little son to be with her. Why would she spend golden lotus seeds? to save?

Tu Yan naturally thought of the "miracle medicine" in her body.The two never talked about this matter, but they both knew each other well. Afraid that she would be softened by that young son, Tu Yan said: "Mr. It's also uncertain what Zhen's plan is, if a trick is set up against you, you will fall into the trap once you go."

That's right, it was she who sued the Zhen family in the first place, which caused the Zhen family to be investigated and was involved in the subsequent house raids. The Zhen family hated her for making sense.Only vaguely, she felt that Mrs. Zhen really wanted to beg her.As a mother, I think about it differently, as long as I can save my son's life, even if I bow my head to my enemy for a while, it's nothing.

Lin Qingjun sighed: "There is one more thing written on the note. The Zhen family said that the king of the Chengjun had taken a fancy to the third girl of the Jia family, and planned to bring her into the mansion as a concubine when she fulfilled her filial piety. Regardless of whether the Jia family and the third girl are willing or not, If the king of Chengjun opened his mouth, it would be difficult to refuse this matter. The Jia family is already like that, and the third girl is eighteen years old, and her aunt was beheaded for committing a serious crime. The king of Chengjun wants the third girl What to do? I feel uneasy."

She was worried that King Chengjun wanted to explore the spring because of her own reasons, so she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Earlier, Daiyu told her that when Jia's family came out of filial piety, please ask someone to talk about family relatives for Tanchun.Although Tanchun was a good person, his parents had both committed crimes, so marriage might be difficult, so Daiyu wanted to find out what Tanchun said.Among the three springs in the Jia family, only Tanchun has the highest ambition and the most ideas. Although Daiyu wants to help, she is unwilling to do bad things with good intentions.

After hearing this, Tu Yan thought deeply: "This is not like the mother and son of Concubine Qi Shu. What's the benefit of the third girl in Chengjun's palace? Even the Jia family's relatives are only the Lin family, and it's okay to turn around with the Zhuang family It’s possible to have an idea relationship, but these two families are not easy to win over.”

"Both the adoptive father and the Zhuang family are pure ministers, and they are not willing to get involved in those things. There is no such thing as a random thing in the world. It must be beneficial for the king of Chengjun to want the third girl. Perhaps Zhen knows that she is using this as a bait." Tell me to go." Lin Qingyun had thought through this juncture and was determined to go there.

"I'll go with you." Tu Yan obviously took this matter to heart.

On the first day of the new year, the two went to the Muni Temple.

There were many people offering incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the incense in Muni Temple has always been at its peak. Earlier, Tu Yan ordered people to investigate everywhere, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.Mrs. Zhen arrived early. Since the incident with the Zhen family, Mrs. Zhen came to offer incense on the [-]th day of the lunar new year, rain or shine. Every time at this time, the king of Chengjun would go with her, and only ordered a few people to follow.Tu Yan sent Lin Qingyun to the apse of the temple, and Mrs. Zhen worshiped the Buddha inside.The incense money donated by Mrs. Zhen every year is the only generous one. The abbot of the temple opened the door for convenience. When Mrs. Zhen came, there were no other pilgrims in the apse.

Those who came from Chengjun Prince's Mansion had Tu Yan to take care of them, and only Zhen's confidant girl served at the door of the back hall. When Lin Qingyun came, the other party only saluted and opened the door to invite her in.

Kneeling on the futon in the middle, Mrs. Zhen didn't chant scriptures or do Buddhist rituals, but just quietly looked at the benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva statue in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.Hearing the sound of the door, Zhen Shi turned around and said, "Princess Pure."

Lin Qingyun didn't go around in circles, and asked her straight to the point: "Why does King Chengjun want the third girl from the Jia family?"

But Mrs. Zhen asked back: "Do you know how much the Jia family took from our Zhen family?"

Lin Qingyun thought it was the hidden property, so he said: "The things were collected by the second wife of the Jia family. After the second wife was convicted, the big boxes of the Zhen family were taken away by the court together with the seals. Prince Zhongshun did it himself."

Zhen smiled sarcastically: "I'm not talking about those on the bright side. Those big boxes totaled less than 10 taels, and most of them were antique calligraphy and paintings, and the gold was only 5000 taels. How could our family only have so few things?" " Without waiting for Lin Qingyun to answer, he added: "I'm not talking about the 10 taels of silver entrusted to Jia's family earlier. Back then, my father hid a sum of gold, about 5 taels, in order to guard against the latter. The number is for the restoration of the family, but..." Zhen's tears burst into tears.

It's just that Zhen Yingjia had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't calculate that not only the house was ransacked, but also the emperor's liquidation was so severe.None of the men in the Zhen family could escape, especially the descendant lineage, except for the lost Baoyu, there was no one alive.In the past few years, the Zhen family has been using the remaining contacts of the Zhen family to search for Zhen Baoyu, but they have not been able to find it. Only her and Zhen Shun in the palace are left in the Zhen family. Now, even the only sister will leave her. In the past, all she had was the 5 taels of gold, except for her sickly and short-lived son.

Lin Qingyun was shocked, fifty thousand taels of gold equaled five hundred thousand taels of silver, with the status of the Zhen family, I don't know how many things he could accomplish.

"What does this have to do with the third girl of the Jia family?" Lin Qingyun would never guess that Tanchun hid the gold, so she became more and more confused.

Mrs. Zhen sighed, and laughed at herself: "The Zhen and Jia families have been friends for several lifetimes. I thought there was a virtuous concubine in the palace. The Jia family could live on for a few years, but who would have followed in the footsteps of the Zhen family. My father The gold entrusted to the old lady of the Jia family was not cash, but ten money orders belonging to three different banks, hidden in the mezzanine of a carved rosewood jewelry box. These ten money orders are only required to be exchanged within five years , Deposited anonymously, evidence is available, expired and invalidated. That sum of gold was deposited a year before the accident in the Zhen family, and expired on the first day of December this year."

"You mean..." Lin Qingyun suddenly thought of a section, afraid that the box was in Tanchun's hands.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhen said: "After the accident happened to Jia's family, I wanted to get the things back, but that bitch of Mrs. Gao slandered me after the king of the county, and forbade me to go out as if to guard against thieves. Later, when something happened to Jia's family, the mess I didn’t look for an opportunity until the old lady of the Jia family passed away. You saw that when I went to the Zhongshun Palace that day, even if I went out to socialize, Mrs. Gao followed me. This is the opportunity I bought her with ten thousand silver. Oh, how ridiculous, my majestic Chengjun Princess wants to curry favor with a concubine." Zhen Shi glanced at her suddenly, and there was no meaning in her voice: "Don't underestimate her, she is not the kind of woman who can only compete for favor. , Her methods are powerful. I know that I have no chance to get back that sum of gold, and neither can my sister, so I deliberately leaked the secret and let the county king get it."

"In that case, the gold will not belong to you." And in this way, Zhen's life is really coming to an end.

Zhen was naturally clear, with a cold and calm expression: "I know very well that once they get the gold, I will die of illness. Once I die, who will take care of me sincerely? I'm afraid I won't live for a few days. That way A ruthless man who enjoys the benefits of our Zhen family, but turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, and even ignores the relationship between father and son. Since he doesn't care about our mother and child, why should I care about him!"

Lin Qingyun faintly sensed Zhen's intentions, he was both surprised and sighed, looking at Zhen in front of him, he recalled in a trance the first time he saw Zhen when he was in Qiuxi.At that time, Mrs. Zhen was proud and beautiful. Although she was forced to become the second concubine of the Prince of Cheng, it was obvious that the Prince of Cheng coaxed her well. During her pregnancy, Mrs. Zhen seemed very happy.

"What do you want?" Lin Qingyun asked.

Zhen smiled lightly: "Prince Chun said what do I want? I just want my little son to be healthy and safe. I know you must have a way. Even Prince Chun can be cured and healthy. Why can't my little son? As long as you If you are willing to save the young prince, I will not only hand over the gold, but also give you a few letters, which are letters between King Cheng and King Nan'an, and there are many treacherous things in it."

To be honest, Lin Qingyun is not tempted by gold, no matter how much money she has, she has no place to spend it.Even the letter that could overthrow the king of the county, she gave up after hesitating.Now those county kings wanted to find a way to use Tu Yan but couldn't, they were fighting with each other, why did she have to do hard work for others, and finally put herself in danger.After all, when those few people fight, they can benefit from it. If they lose one of them and make themselves the target of public criticism, they will have to make up for the loss.

All she cares about is Tanchun's fate, and when she has the ability to stop it, she always hopes to do something.

After weighing it up, she said, "I'm not interested in gold, but the letter you mentioned, how can I prove it?"

Mrs. Zhen had been prepared for a long time, and took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to her: "There are three letters in total, this is the first one, it was written by the King of Nan'an to the King of Cheng, you can ask Prince Chun to check the authenticity .”

As a prince, you don’t have to write the letter yourself. Usually, the officials write it for you, but you will definitely stamp your own seal on the letter. The more private the letter, the less you can save it. This is the key to showing sincerity and winning the trust of others. Because of this, many people pretend to be smart and hide such deadly letters, trying to save lives at critical moments.I don't know, "life-saving letters" are often reminders.

Lin Qingjun accepted the letter, only glanced at it briefly, paused for a moment on the seal of Lord Nan'an, and then put it away.

"I will ask the pure prince to have a look."

"How is my business?" There was a hint of urgency in Zhen's eyes, which showed that Xiao Shizi's situation was indeed not optimistic.

Lin Qingyun was ruthless, and shook her head: "I don't have any magic medicine and elixir, so I can only find you a doctor." Before Zhen Shi could respond, she said, "This man's name is Fan Shu, you should know him. I went to Jiuhua Mountain with the prince to seek medical treatment, and he was the one I was looking for. Although he did not heal the prince at that time, he came to the capital and cured Princess Anle. He is still good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and has a great research on children's diseases. If you want, I will You can ask him to come."

Mrs. Zhen was originally annoyed when she saw her refusal to treat her, but after hearing what happened later, her expression gradually calmed down: "Fan Shu, I naturally invited him, but he refused to come. As the father of Chengjun, he didn't care about it. It seems that the little prince will die early. If Fan Shu is willing to come..." I don't know what to think, Zhen shook her head again: "How can they let the little prince continue to live, I can't even save my own life, how can the little prince live."

Lin Qingyun couldn't think of what kind of father would care about his son's life or death, no matter how bad the Zhen family was, the youngest son was still the son of the royal family...it was all due to power.When vying for the throne, the princes not only compare their achievements, conduct, and prestige with each other, but also their homes, especially the number of heirs in the mansion, which is sometimes listed as a reference item. It is for this reason that the pure prince is so eye-catching when he has two legitimate sons.

"I'll be here on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and you'll come back a month later." After finishing speaking, Zhen ignored her and knelt down in front of the Buddha again, silent like a clay sculpture.

Lin Qingjun caught a glimpse of hesitation in Zhen's eyes, probably not completely giving up on King Cheng, or in other words, still had a little luck in the current situation.Now, Mrs. Zhen decided to try again. If what Chengjun Wang did made her dissatisfied, Mrs. Zhen would no longer care about the past.

Coming out of Muni Temple, Lin Qingyun's heart was very heavy.

On the carriage, she gave the letter to Tu Yan.Tu Yan was also surprised after reading it: "Unexpectedly, the king of Nan'an County would communicate with the king of Cheng County in private. The date of signing this letter is seven years ago."

"This letter doesn't seem to have any real content. Why did King Cheng keep it? Or is it not just three letters that King Cheng kept, and those three were stolen by Mrs. Zhen alone?" Lin Qingyun She shook her head as she said that, really Mrs. Zhen has that much ability?If three such confidential things are lost, how can King Cheng not know?

Tu Yan couldn't figure it out for a while, but he felt that there was a lot to be said here, and said: "If Princess Chengjun goes to test Prince Cheng again, I'm afraid she won't get any satisfactory answer. If she puts all her eggs in one basket and we are defenseless, It must be very passive. Why did the jewelry box get into the hands of the third girl of the Jia family?"

Lin Qingyun had some guesses: "After Jiamu's death, the two households of Jia's family will definitely divide her private house. I heard my sister mention this a few times. It is said that Jiamu made the list earlier, and everyone gets their share. Son, I'm not too partial to the second room, but Baoyu gets more. After all, Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most. Those who are unmarried or unmarried in the family are slightly thicker, and Tanchun Jiahuan is the same. Xichun has one share, even Xiangyun has one, just less, and my younger sister has several boxes of jewellery, and there are five or six pieces of calligraphy and painting antiques."

"So it was the old lady of the Jia family who gave the jewelry box to Tanchun?" Tu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise. Unexpectedly, Jia's mother gave the things to the third girl instead of telling the two sons, which shows that the third girl is indeed extraordinary.Tu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked her, "Does the third girl of the Jia family know what's in the box?"
