Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Seizing the heir apparent would have disturbed the entire world.

But Jia Min didn't expect...to come so early.Under her assumption, didn't she rely on the prefect and county magistrate to fight for a wave of land first?Why did this start with the feudal officials?

She suddenly felt lucky, "Could it be possible that the elders of the pavilion also feel that the second master of the Sun family will be difficult to protect at this time, so they can hold some handles on Mr. Zhou's side. In the future, they will either exchange the son or use it as a bargaining chip?"

Lin Hai nodded straightly when he heard the words, "I think so." He sighed softly, "Let's wait for the emperor's will."

If the sage really ordered him to write a self-defense essay behind closed doors, then... that's the only way to go.

Jia Min said angrily: "I want to see how the master's 'crime' is going to be made up?!"

Lin Hai smiled and said, "I can't be accused of any crime... At most, it's because I didn't recommend someone properly."

This is also thanks to the fact that during the time when he was the Xunyan Yushi, his daughter was sick, his eldest son died young, and his wife was bedridden for a long time but did not see any improvement... The trouble made him discouraged and unmotivated.

It is precisely because he has not been greedy or competitive for several years that he retired from the position of Xunyan Yushi. Not only did he win a good reputation, but he was also valued by the two masters.

Of course, now he not only has to make progress for his wife and daughter, but he also has to set up a decent "family property" for each of his three sons.

This "family business" is not talking about money - the Lin family has been passed down for several generations, with few people but a very rich family fortune, which is still...very rich when spread to each child.

So he said again: "Our sons and daughters are still young, so we can't talk about lax family management." He took his wife's hand and said softly, "I guess it's not a big deal, it's just that you are worrying about me. gone."

"My lord's words are really meaningful." Jia Min changed the subject, and asked immediately, "It means that the master is still Mr. Han, and there is only one thing that the lord recommended Mr. Han. Master San?"

If it doesn't involve Lin Hai, how can it involve Master Li and Master Zhou behind.

Lin Haidao: "I didn't see any dignified and stern look at the second prince. Besides, I don't have any ghosts in my heart, so I'm afraid of something. After all, Sun Er doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind. The boss of the Sun family is probably the real one. Feel guilty."

Jia Min nodded, and told Lin Hai one by one what the governor's wife and Baochai had said today. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and give the master a "speaking first".

She whispered: "If a relative does something illegal, the title of 'lax family management' can also be counted on the master."

The husband and wife have had an extraordinary understanding for many years. How could Lin Hai not hear his daughter-in-law's subtext? He patted his daughter-in-law's back to comfort him, "You are too careless. Your brothers are all yearning for the East Palace... You have persuaded them, but you will not be able to persuade them. I still do my best. There will be a day in the future, and we will not be able to implicate each other."

Jia Min forced a smile and said, "I hope so."

Her natal elder brother and sister-in-law probably wouldn't think of her when good things happen, but when bad things happen, they are sure to speak up, or even come to ask for help.So even if she wants to save her family from trouble, she will try her best to pull her nephew and niece.What's more, now it seems that both Zhu Ge'er and Yuan Chun are outstanding, and even Lian Ge'er has merits, and it is worth her painstaking efforts to support her.

At the same time in Beijing, the brothers Yin Hong and Yin Ze who were born in Prince Ning's mansion were also talking.

The two princes have arrived in Hangzhou safely, and Yin Hong is about to leave - the Holy One has prepared "contingency needs" for the two sons, what if Sun Er really messes around?

Yin Hong is one of this elite.These people have to go south secretly.By the way, Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong is also on the list of going south secretly.

At this moment, Yin Ze was quite restless, "Brother, Yuan Chun's uncle asked Yushi to participate! Is she worried?"

It was not our uncle who was involved.

It's not surprising that the younger brother is well-informed, because this kid has a very good friendship with Wang An's precious only son.

With a peaceful face, Yin Hong stood up and poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, "Take a sip of tea first and calm down."

Yin Ze raised his neck silently, drank half a cup of tea, and muttered, "Yuan Chun is very close to her aunt, and her brother is studying in Hangzhou and lives with her uncle and aunt."

I know the girl's boudoir name, and I know which relatives she is close to... This sister-in-law hasn't married yet, and something happened at home, and the younger brother came to ask for advice...

With a daughter-in-law, forget about brother!

But Yin Hong is simply happy to see the results: you have today, a monkey.

However, since his mother passed away, the two brothers depended on each other for life. Yin Hong couldn't bear to let his younger brother follow his sister-in-law's heart and mind, so he shook his head with a smile, "It's okay. Her uncle is a student of Mr. Zhou Ge..."

It is enough to wake up Yin Ze.

Yin Ze also had joys and worries, "After that, there will be nothing to worry about." Scholars have too many thoughts!

Yin Hong smiled and said, "To be fair, if she hadn't had a good uncle and aunt, you wouldn't be able to get such a daughter-in-law."

How did the brother's marriage come about? Even if Yin Hong didn't prepare for it at first, but now that the wedding date has been set, how can he not find out the ~inside~ of his brother's marriage.

In his opinion, the selection of his younger brother is because he is optimistic about their brothers on the one hand, and on the other hand...Lin Hai already has some friendship with King An, and this future sister-in-law is very favored by the concubine De.

In other words, everyone can at least be regarded as fellow travelers, so this relationship is not a loss.

Yin Ze blushed slightly, and laughed dryly, "She doesn't allow me to go around asking for advice this time, she just said that everything is up to you, brother."

Yin Hong frowned slightly, "If I don't say anything, if the girl doesn't stop you, you still have to ask Prince An's son?"

Being told the central matter, Yin Ze hastily defended, "I just went to inquire about the news, I didn't intend to plead for mercy!"

Yin Hongdao: "The girl is right. You are about to get married, think about everything in the future, and...discuss with your wife more."

In other words, Yin Hong has a very deep relationship with his wife.

He suffered a lot of secret losses from his stepmother, and it was also thanks to his beloved wife who comforted and dealt with him.

He just felt that his younger brother should be like him, marry a wife who is pleasing to his heart, who can tell the difference between hot and cold, and can discuss everything.Therefore, hearing his younger brother talk about Yuan Chun's words and deeds, not only did he not feel that Yuan Chun's actions were inappropriate, but he was really happy for his younger brother.

The two often meet and talk in private, and they can be regarded as "passing the bright road" with the elder brother.Yin Ze felt that he had lost one thing on his mind, and said, "Brother, I heard that Yuan Chun's second brother is leaving Beijing too?"

Yin Hong asked: "What? You still want to send a gift? My sister-in-law and her elder brother will definitely come back to attend your wedding. If you want to please your wife, just befriend your serious uncle and brother. Don't ask too much about it."

Yin Ze asked in surprise, "How did you say that?"

In Yuanchun's words, he was still very worried that his second brother would not be acclimatized and uncomfortable when he went to the southwest.

"Second Brother" refers to Jia Lian.

In fact, Yuan Chun really wanted his second sister-in-law, Sister Feng, not to stay in Beijing in trouble, and follow her second brother to the Southwest to take up a post so that it would be convenient for her to take care of her daily life.Of course, I can't tell my future husband and son-in-law directly about these thoughts.

Yin Hong replied to his younger brother, "My sister-in-law's second sister-in-law is surnamed Wang."

Yin Ze thought for a while, then blurted out, "She's Wang Ziteng's niece?!"

Yin Hong said with a smile: "My sister-in-law and her uncle have something to do with Uncle An. Wang Ziteng voted for the Sun family first, so he naturally wants to... that one. I guess what my sister-in-law means is that her second brother is Her second brother, her second sister-in-law is her second sister-in-law."

Wang Ziteng is starting to change his family, and he must give a big gift to the new owner.I don't know if his sister-in-law knows about this.

Yin Ze was shocked: "How can she have so many thoughts?! She is three years younger than me."

"Your daughter-in-law has been with Empress Defei for three full years."

Even if an idiot stayed in the palace for three years, he would still be half-human if he could come out alive.Yin Hong sighed: "You are too naive, there should be a shrewd daughter-in-law protecting you."

Yin Ze quit immediately, "Why is she protecting me?! Brother, why are you turning your elbows outward?"

Even so, there was no trace of jealousy or dissatisfaction on his face.

Because your daughter-in-law's best friend in the palace is your sister-in-law's natal cousin!Your sister-in-law has already inquired about her words and deeds in the palace.

Otherwise, why would I be so relieved that you secretly communicate with your daughter-in-law?

It's just that I won't reveal this to my brother.

Yin Hong said again: "I'm going to Jiangnan this time. I don't know if I can come back in time for your wedding. You should be careful at home and go to Prince An's side more often, so as to save some time and let you Our good mother and concubine have a lot of scruples. As for marriage, with your sister-in-law watching, nothing can go wrong, but you also have to remember to protect your daughter-in-law. Our mother and concubine are not particular, don't let her brain twitch It really made something difficult for everyone to look up."

Yin Ze frowned and said, "Understood, brother." You became more verbose, "That woman is shameless, but my father doesn't want to lose face in public!"

King Ning liked the concubine he married again, but he didn't really like it to the point of being dizzy.

But she said that Yuan Chun, who had met Yin Ze, returned to the mansion with her second elder brother Jia Lian, and heard that her father had not returned from a dinner party. yard came.

Mrs. Wang heard the movement and sent Jin Chuan'er over early to greet her.

Jin Chuan'er has a lively personality, Yuan Chun asked a few words along the way, and knew that when she was not at home, her eldest aunt, the wife of Wang Ziteng, came again.

Yuan Chun's complexion suddenly paled a little, "What did the eldest aunt say when she came back?"

Jin Chuan'er said honestly: "At that time, several of us girls were serving outside, and we only heard a few sporadic words, and my uncle and wife mentioned our third girl."

The whole family, especially the maids, respect the elder girl Yuan Chun far more than the two wives.

Yuan Chun nodded, "I see. You should be more careful when serving your wife in the future." He simply relieved Jin Chuan'er's worries, "If your wife asks, just tell the truth, everything is up to me, you don't have to worry about it." No."

It was rare for the eldest girl to talk so much at one time, and Jin Chuan'er knew that this was what she said, so she quickly thanked her without mentioning it.

But Yuan Chun entered Mrs. Wang's room, saluted and sat down beside his mother.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "How about going out for a stroll?"

When Yuan Chun went out, the excuse was that he had a look at the shops where he was married.Yuan Chun's side with Concubine De is almost equivalent to that of the chief minister of the palace, Shi, to the prince, and the business management and employment are much better than the average daughter's family.

Mrs. Wang couldn't be more at ease with her daughter's talent.

Yuan Chun smiled, "That's right. Mother..." As she spoke, she leaned on Mrs. Wang's shoulder.

Baoyu calls Mrs. Wang his wife, while both Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun call Mrs. Wang their mother.

But Jia Min also calls her father and mother at home, and when she is proud or coquettish, she can call out "father and mother" openly. Jia Daishan and his wife are willing to listen, so naturally no one dares to argue.

Mrs. Wang stroked her daughter's back with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Chun said in a low voice: "My daughter is... getting married. Mother has worked hard raising us."

Mrs. Wang moved and said: "My son, you understand my heart!"

Although she is very selfish, she has no sincerity towards her children, and she is more dedicated than Master Jia Zheng.

Yuan Chun said again: "To tell you the truth, mother, I went out to look at the shop, and I also caught sight of the second son of King Hui Ning."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and immediately thought that her daughter would always be accompanied by Brother Lian when she went out... She immediately felt relieved: she was very satisfied with this son-in-law.

No matter how much my master wants his daughter to accompany the king, or assign him as a concubine to the prince... No matter how much he honors and favors him in the future, he will still be a concubine!Women understand women's difficulties best. You see Baochai is such a good child, he can only lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye when he enters the palace, and he can only breathe a sigh of relief after giving birth to a boy.

How can it be like Yuan Chun, who married the imperial family in a dignified manner like Yuan Chun, and the seat can't be shaken at all.No matter how powerful that house-filling mother-in-law is, so what?

My daughter said at the time, "Everyone just live a peaceful life, if it doesn't work out, I'll go to the palace to find Concubine De to sue!"

Mrs. Wang was very refreshed when she said this.

Therefore, it was rare for her to secretly thank her sister-in-law. She didn't want to admit that her sister-in-law was very good to her brother Zhu and Yuan Chun-her brother only said it nicely, but in fact he never helped him seriously.

By the way, Xue Huan also went south to become an official with his family because he had seen through him.Even if this official is only seventh rank, he doesn't want to make another money bag for Wang Ziteng.

It's just that the hearts of the two children are completely biased towards the sister-in-law. Mrs. Wang's heart is full of sourness and resentment, and she can't live in peace for a moment, but she can't express this thought.

I want to take my sister-in-law's daughter out of anger, but she hasn't done anything yet, it's just a flash of thought, so my mother-in-law took it to teach me a lesson!

Wanting to take revenge on my sister-in-law, but afraid of offending her... Every time Mrs. Wang thinks about this, her stomach and appetite will ache.

Yuan Chun kept staring at his mother from the corner of his eyes, seeing that she was first happy, then gritted her teeth, and finally resisted, causing her smile to be a little distorted...

Yuan Chun also sighed: Mother always can't let go.

Jealousy of my aunt's good marriage and being more loved by her father and mother... That's nothing but jealousy, and the more you envy yourself, the more uncomfortable you will be... This kind of thing is that if you are jealous, can your aunt live a poor life?

Yuan Chun thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "I heard that my uncle asked the censor to attend, and I wondered why my father hasn't returned now, because of this."

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard the words, and the gratification on her face flashed away immediately.

What kind of person is Yuan Chun, how can he miss his mother's look, "so that mother can know that my uncle's teacher has entered the cabinet. Uncle's promotion is so fast, because there is a teacher who appreciates and cultivates him with all his strength."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback again, even ignoring her daughter's tone, "Why did you become an old man in the court. Take the main exam once, and be a teacher once. I don't know how many students there are. I remember it everywhere, and I can manage it?"

Seeing this, Yuan Chun couldn't help sighing: no one in my mother's natal family relied on the imperial examination to become an official, and did anyone seriously tell her mother how powerful and influential this crony formed by fellow villagers, classmates and colleagues is.

Needless to say, my uncle was promoted to an official because of the merits of having a teacher, but if the Holy Majesty didn't nod, how could he become a feudal official in less than forty?

The eldest uncle is also a second rank, but he is more than ten years older than my uncle.

Three years later, my elder brother should also end... At that time, I will also thank my teacher and have more contacts with my brothers and sisters when I am awarded a Jinshi.

Yuan Chun had to explain to his mother in general: if his brother wins, he will be grateful to his uncle for the rest of his life. Apart from joining his brother's line of future mentors, he may also use his uncle to climb up to this old Zhou Ge.

When Jia Zhu won the prize, the second house of the Rong Mansion changed from honorable to a scholar-bureaucrat's house...

Based on Yuan Chun's knowledge, he also knew that their family was becoming more and more speechless among the nobles, and it was time to change their path.

Mrs. Wang was delighted that her son would be able to become an old man one day, but she was very reluctant because he might have to be influenced by his uncle for the rest of his life.

Seeing that it was about the same time, Yuan Chun asked straightforwardly, "Is the eldest aunt here to talk again?"

Mrs. Wang turned her head suddenly, and said helplessly after a while, "Your eldest aunt asked your third sister."

Yuan Chun immediately became annoyed, "You plotted against me, plotted against cousin Baochai, and then plotted against cousin Daiyu, but my uncle and aunt are so powerful, she has no choice but now I think of my third younger sister who was born as a concubine?!"

The elder sister-in-law is greedy, and Mrs. Wang is also quite annoying, so she didn't refute what her daughter said.

Yuan Chun took a few deep breaths, and managed to calm down a little bit. She held her mother's shoulder again and said, "Why doesn't mother think about it, no matter how you put it, she said that entering the palace to be selected is to enjoy the wealth and honor, and support her mother's family. Why doesn't she let her own girl go? Don't talk about the Wang family's girl, just talk about the aunt's niece and niece, why don't you see her send it to the palace? It can be seen that it is not her own child that does not feel bad!"

Mrs. Wang only squeezed out two words "Yuanchun", and couldn't continue: how could she not know that what her daughter said was right?

Yuan Chun didn't want to end up here, thinking about simply getting rid of his mother's luck, "It's not necessarily true that it's my aunt's own idea. Without my uncle's consent, she can count on our girl twice or three times?"

Mrs. Wang said nothing: she felt guilty.

Yuan Chun said: "When a girl enters the palace, she is recommended by her uncle anyway. The girl has good fortune, and I have to be grateful for his recommendation. If she enters the palace and can't hear the slightest sound, he has nothing to lose, right? Even if there is good luck in the future Another hard fall, that's also a girl from a relative's family, so I can't implicate him!"

These words really completely exposed Uncle Wang Ziteng's face.Yuan Chun is also fed up with this uncle... You rely on your own ability to make progress, what's the point of always thinking about using girls to pave the way? !We deserve you to take advantage of it? !

Yuan Chun overheard the plans of the two princes, and now that she thinks about it, if she is not Concubine De's confidant, she might not even be able to find a coffin!The palace is really a place where death can be silent!

Yuan Chun supported his chest, paused and said, "Mother, don't try to rely on uncle to pull father... or Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang suddenly raised her head and stared at her daughter, "Yuanchun, you..."

How many people are in charge in the Rong Mansion?When Yuan Chun was in the palace, she figured out everyone's thoughts, and she was even more aware of her mother's wishes.

Baoyu's younger brother was born extraordinary, and it would be a lie to say that he had no expectations of him.But Baoyu is more than ten years old, and it is true that he is quite talented, but this talent is far from amazing.

But he is still unwilling to use this talent in a serious place.

My aunt cherished the few of them, helped the elder brother, helped her, and even the second brother was recommended by my uncle, but one Baoyu was missed-the aunt obviously looked down on Baoyu very much.

As for Baoyu's hustle and bustle in the inner room, she, as a sister, can't bear it!

Mrs. Wang has lowered her head, her complexion is very ugly: Zhu Geer and Yuan Chun are not Baoyu, they are not easy to be fooled, and they are very clever.

Yuan Chun's outburst this time was also intentional: after all, she is her own daughter, and even if her mother gets angry, she can't do anything about it.The point is that she had to cut some inexplicable thoughts from her mother before she got married.

The elder brother came back to attend her wedding, and he will definitely return to Hangzhou after that. The second elder brother Lian will take Sister Feng to the southwest to become an official. There is only one sister-in-law left in the mansion, who is well-behaved but will not speak out to persuade and block her mother... ... Yuan Chun's cruel words must be said first.

Mrs. Wang thought for a long time, and finally said powerlessly, "I listen to you, I listen to you."

Yuan Chun's eyes were also red when he heard the words, "Mother, my brother will end in three years. My uncle said that my brother must win. At that time, the eldest brother and the eldest uncle... will not be the same. Mother will always count on the eldest brother in the future, but It's not about uncle."

An elder brother who is married and has children is no match for the son he gave birth to!

Yuan Chun's last words finally moved Mrs. Wang thoroughly.

As for the second master, Jia Zheng, the mother and daughter tacitly ignored the past.

At night, Jia Zheng returned home wrapped in alcohol.He went straight to Mrs. Wang's room, and while changing clothes, he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's reddish eyes, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Yuan Chun is going out, so he came over today and said many sweet words to me."

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Yuan Chun has always been considerate of people."

Even though she made her daughter very uncomfortable and complained that her daughter was completely partial to her aunt, Mrs. Wang also understood that her daughter's intelligence was indeed extraordinary.

No matter how unhappy she is, she also knows that the future of the eldest son and daughter will be different from her and the master's.

What happened in the second room that day could not be hidden from Jia's mother.

The old lady believed in her daughter Jia Min's words very much: it is not impossible to send a girl into the palace, but it is sent in twice or three times... It doesn't matter whether others know about the fact that the Wang family asked our family to "borrow a girl" , this reputation is solid, let Zhu Geer how to deal with it in the future!

Therefore, Mother Jia got up early and waited for the second daughter-in-law to come to say hello. If the second daughter-in-law was bewitched by her natal sister-in-law again and she wanted to send Tan Yatou out, she would have no choice but to embarrass this daughter-in-law again.

You don't love the concubine daughter, but I still love my precious grandson!

Therefore, although the Rong Mansion is full of turmoil, it is rare to see peace from the outside.

When Jia Min received the family letter from his mother and Yuan Chun, Lin Hai also knew the decision of the Holy Majesty: the Holy Majesty kept the copy of the imperial censor... not to publish it.

It should be known that on the surface this is a struggle between the elders of the pavilion, but in fact the root cause is still on the prince.

As for the response of the Holy Majesty...in Lin Hai's view, the meaning is quite clear: the prince is still the prince, but the Sun family must be cut.

Lin Hai made a decisive decision, and handed over all the evidence of cheating in the hospital examination to the second prince Yin Mi with his brother Zhou Shixiong.

Of course, they didn't send them by themselves, but they went around a long circle, followed the courier on a stage horse, and delivered them to the second prince in batches together with the official documents.

I became blind and deaf for the time being, and Master Li was also very angry... He is also a first-rank official. Elder Ge, in addition to being at odds with Mr. Zhou, most of it is because of him: the two families have had quarrels for many years.

To put it bluntly, Lin Hai also suffered on his behalf.In order to help his beloved apprentice for a good life, and to save the Sun family from playing tricks, he simply used his confidants to find a way to send out the evidence secretly.

But after receiving the evidence, the second prince also had a bit of a headache: the second master Sun is hard to be kind, but at this time the involvement is a bit bigger.In the past, about one-third of the officials in charge of the hospital examination were not "exempt". Fortunately, there were no high-ranking officials among these people, but there were also many inextricable connections behind them.

How to goug out the carrion without hurting the muscles and bones, he had to think about it.

The second prince pondered the choice all day long, and the sixth prince was not idle. He used the name of an imperial envoy to inspect the commanders of the capitals of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's fine for the middle and lower level civil servants to be bribed by Master Sun Er. If the military officer has a big hole here, he will have to decisively use the thunder method.

He turned around and didn't see anything, and then he waited for a few days, but still no one came to see him secretly... The sixth prince is the only one among the princes who has actually been on the battlefield, and the other is his fifth brother .

He felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, his fifth brother actually sent someone to deliver a letter to him, with only two words on it: Be careful.

The next day, Han Qi rushed into the governor's yamen with his face covered in sweat—at the moment Lin Hai was discussing matters with Governor Jiang, and when he heard the report from his servants, he knew that Han Qi's visit was something serious.

Han Qi didn't even wipe off his sweat when he entered the door, "He's dead, he died in prison."

What he was talking about was his wife's natal relative, the one who made fake accounts at a deficit and planned to cheat Lin Hai severely.Ever since the man asked his wife for help, he caught him and threw him into the prison for his confidants to take care of him carefully.The past few days have been fine, but now suddenly died...

This is not over, the three of them were discussing how to deal with it, and the commander suddenly came, and the general's dark square face could be seen pale, "The pirates came and robbed a town by the sea. That town The largest family in the world is named Zhang."

Governor Jiang, Lin Hai, and Han Qi were silent for a moment: the last admiral, Xuezheng, was surnamed Zhang... This is his hometown that was robbed.

The Sun family really didn't say anything about their courage!
