Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

After all, Baochai was also a concubine picked by the virtuous concubine. When she entered the palace, she brought not only the eldest maid Yinger, but also a companion—the family of companions was the old Xue family carefully selected by Xue Huan for Baochai. And this family is very useful.

The sixth prince's main wife, the concubine Su Wang, has never been careless, so she let the family of companions continue to serve Baochai, and allowed them to enter and leave the palace in the name of buying, and pointed out the mother-in-law and concubine to one of her mother-in-law. Mama put it in Baochai's house.

This nanny also didn't like gossip, and she came to Baochai's side because she wanted to retire peacefully, so she definitely didn't say a word when the question came to her.

And there is a reason behind the princess's generosity.

The sixth prince has only two concubines, one is a senior court lady who has served the sixth prince in the palace, and the other is Baochai.

Baochai's father was the county magistrate of Qipin, who was originally an imperial merchant, with a family property of over one million, and was related to several noble families. Such a concubine helped the sixth prince a lot in his great cause, at least he didn't have to worry about money.

Not to mention that the mother-in-law and concubine are watching, the princess naturally can't be that "wicked person": If in the future... there will be such a day... won't it still be passed on to her son?She gave birth to the prince's eldest son, so she was basically invincible.

Baochai still can't see through Wang Hao's mind, and when he entered the palace, he just felt that Wang Hao was not difficult to get along with. Although Wang Ye was a little indifferent, he treated her well. In short, her life was not difficult.

However, although Baochai is young, she may not be able to figure out the thoughts of others, but the "essence" of her father's voice can always be heard: Is my father telling her not to care about her uncle's house anymore?

The prince is now starting to clean up the Sun family, so uncle should burn incense if he is not implicated.

If my mother knew, I don't know how to feel distressed!After thinking about it again, she was recommended by her uncle to enter the palace to be selected... Mother gave uncle an unknown amount of money, but uncle didn't get any shine, instead, she would cause a mess all over her body!

So Baochai tossed and turned all night, unable to calm down.When I got up the next day, my face was naturally extremely ugly, and I only suppressed it by applying a lot of rouge heavier than usual, but when I got up, my eyes blurred, and I almost fell to the ground.

Ying'er was startled, "Aunt...do you want to invite a doctor?"

Baochai shook her head, and immediately raised her hand to press her temple, but just as her fingertips touched her face... Yinger took the lead.

Baochai said softly: "No, I just didn't rest well last night. The prince is busy with business, so let's not make trouble."

After all, Ying'er is Baochai's confidant, knowing that her daughter is purely heartbroken, and it's useless for the doctor to come.She nodded, and began to massage her young lady attentively.

In fact, Baochai really thought too much, even if her uncle was convicted because of the Sun family, it would not involve her niece, not to mention that her father, Xue Huan, was only able to become an official because of Lin Hai.

In the ~official~field~, generally speaking, whoever gives the hat will kiss whoever.

Although Xue Huan is the county magistrate of Qipin, he is relatively well-informed because he is willing to spend money.Besides, his county government office is less than a hundred miles away from Hangzhou. If something happened in Hangzhou city, he would know the next day at the latest: The Sun family never stopped talking, but it would be hard for Sun Er to escape in this life. When he came back, his relatives and friends would probably have to be uprooted as well.

So Xue Huan asked his confidants to deliver letters to Baochai's companion, and they all ordered them in front of his wife.

When the confidant went out, Aunt Xue's legs were so frightened that her legs went limp, "Master, save my brother!"

Xue Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My brother-in-law, as a big official in the frontier, could he, a junior official of the seventh rank, be able to save him?The daughter-in-law's temper is really... Intuit straightforward.

He held his wife's arm and said: "Don't worry about it, my uncle has more than one backing."

Aunt Xue was taken aback, "Huh?"

"The cunning rabbit and the three caves," my uncle is much smarter than the rabbit. Of course, this is not a good thing to say, so Xue Huan didn't say it clearly, "I got my official position by relying on Mr. Lin."

These words... made Aunt Xue feel a little ashamed.

It's okay to post about my mother's family, the problem is that after so many years of posting, it hasn't gotten any better.The money at home was not blown by the strong wind, the master repeated it several times... No matter what he said, he was dissatisfied no matter what he said.

But after all, Aunt Xue still couldn't bear to go far away from her natal family.

As soon as Xue Huan looked at it, he guessed what his daughter-in-law was thinking about.There are two brothers and one sister above the daughter-in-law, one is more cruel than the other, but his daughter-in-law is kind-hearted and has the softest ears.

He has been in business for most of his life, and he has seen too many cruel and ruthless people, but he can't bear to be too harsh on kind-hearted people.

So he said: "Don't be busy, just look at what uncle is doing." After thinking about it, he said solemnly, "Baochai has already entered Su Wang's mansion, and uncle has always been close to the East Palace. How will we, Baochai, deal with the eldest brother who keeps giving me money?!"

Children are Aunt Xue's Achilles' heel.

When she was in the capital, she could directly give face to her sister-in-law, even her own sister.But after going back to the south, my sister-in-law wrote softly and begged several times. She couldn't save face, and she changed her mind a few times, but this time... the master woke up again.

Aunt Xue's eye circles turned red, she caressed her heart and said, "Master, I don't even know what to do."

Seeing his wife's expression, Xue Huan continued, "If Baochai gives us a little grandson, some of the family property will be reserved for Pan'er's children in the future, and the rest will help our little grandson. When our grandson grows up, why worry about our grandchildren?"

What he said is also half true and half false. Who can guarantee that his grandson will be able to support his own grandchildren in the future?

But Aunt Xue listened.

This is exactly the same as Yuan Chun's way of persuading Mrs. Wang: do you rely on your brother for your future prosperity, or do you rely on your own children?Even if my elder brother is an extremely human minister, can you get a royal order because of it?Even if the elder brother intends to take care of the younger sister wholeheartedly, doesn't the elder brother also have sons and daughters?

But look at Wang Ziteng's attitude towards his younger brother Wang Zisheng who had to resign after the incident happened, who would say that Wang Ziteng is a kind person?

Moreover, Wang Ziteng relied on honors to pave the way for him all the way from his fortune, while Xue Huan took refuge in Qingliu after many encounters.

Even if he doesn't consider his daughter's standpoint, he, Xue Huan, will gradually become estranged from his eldest uncle, Wang Ziteng... He tried to persuade his wife twice and three times, but he didn't want her to do anything to make Master Lin and even the sixth prince respectful. Wang misunderstood.

I have to say that Xue Huan is a real understanding person.

It didn't take long for Jia Min to learn about Xue Huan's actions from the wives she knew well, and she was also quite emotional: with the protection of her own father, Baochai's life could be a little more comfortable than in her previous life.

In other words, Jia Min can hear some personal words between husband and wife because Aunt Xue is soft-spoken and her mouth is not strict.It was Xue Huan's "solid wish" to pass these words to Jia Min's ears through the mouths of several wives. He has been an official for too short a time now, and his foothold is not stable, so he can't help Lin Hai. But it is necessary, especially at the critical moment of cleaning up Sun Er and cleaning up Hangzhou officials and businessmen related to Sun Er.

When Lin Hai came home, the tea party between Jia Min and the ladies happened to end.

In other words, it only took three days for the commander to wipe out Sun Er's cronies.

On the first night when the commander of the capital took care of Sun Er's clique, he first cleared out a bunch of people who planned to rebel.And the next day there was a heavy rainstorm, that is, the day the sixth prince had to return without success, and then the rainstorm turned into moderate rain, but it really didn't delay Du Commander and his group of wolf-like brothers to continue working.

It is still raining lightly in Hangzhou now, and some low-lying areas have accumulated water. Han Qi is personally leading people to patrol around... In such a ghostly weather, Jia Min posted a post asking the wives to come and have tea and talk. The wives are not "rain or shine".

Jia Min took this as a joke and told Lin Hai who sat down to drink tea, and Lin Hai also laughed, "They are all eager to find out the news."

Jia Min said: "That's not true, the knife still has to come."

Lin Hai nodded, obviously expressing his feelings, "Xue Huan paid for the construction of the dam. I thought he was a picture name so that he could become an official. But looking at the situation this year, I have to say that the dam has really made a great contribution."

Xue Huan was able to live until now because of his own whim, he paid a large sum of money to build a section of embankment, this merit is enough for him to survive the catastrophe of his fate.

In the future, if he can make the people peaceful and prosperous, his life span may not be short—for example, Han Qi, Miaoyu’s father, worked diligently as the magistrate, not to mention giving Jia Min a lot of merit, even he himself became stronger. His fat son and daughter Miaoyu disappeared as if they had changed their bodies.

If Baochai can do real good deeds under the influence of her father... Jia Min should also be able to earn some merits from Xue's father and daughter. Anyway, Xue Huan was recommended by her to the master.

For capable people who can earn her merits and save her family from illnesses and disasters, she decided to treat them a little better.

Thinking of this, she deliberately asked, "Can he still be of great use?"

Lin Hai thinks that Xue Huan is capable, but there are too many connections behind him, and this person's position has not yet been determined.He opened his mouth and said, "We'll wait for Xue Huan to talk about it. Who knows where he will go? Besides, the donated official is doomed to have a limited future."

Jia Min said: "I guess what Master Xue is most worried about is that the master thinks he has both ends."

Lin Hai got up, sat next to his wife, took her by the hand and said, "Madam, what's your opinion? What else can we husband and wife not say? What kind of rules do you have for your second sister-in-law and second sister-in-law?"

From the time his wife became pregnant with his elder brother... no, a little later, he found that his wife's attitude towards the two natal brothers had changed drastically: at first, she just didn't like the behavior of the two older brothers, but they were brothers and sisters after all. He still has some scruples about speaking... In fact, he hasn't spoken too bluntly, and he hasn't completely exposed the face of the two brothers.

Afterwards, the daughter-in-law was still not close to her elder brother, but she was obviously targeting her second brother, and her attitude towards her second sister-in-law was not enough to be covered by the word "resentment"...

Although they are all relatives, in all fairness, the second uncle and his daughter-in-law, who was born in the Wang family, did not become confused until around the birth of Brother Sui.

Lin Hai was more defensive, and didn't even ask why his wife suddenly changed, but the attitude of his wife towards her natal family was the same as his attitude towards Rongfu.

He was willing to persuade, but he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be really angry, and it was definitely not for the sake of the second uncle and his wife.

But Jia Min heard a different meaning from Lin Hai's question.

With the imperial envoys of the two princes, the master wiped out the power of the Sun family in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang. From this day on, unless there is a miracle, the master can no longer turn to the prince.

And the eldest brother, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, all handed in the "certificate of nomination" to the East Palace early-otherwise, what would it mean if they wanted to send a girl to the East Palace twice?

Because of his high position, Wang Ziteng still has room for substitutions, but the second brother can only follow the East Palace wholeheartedly. In other words, he has no future if he leaves the East Palace.

The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for change in everyone's position.A breakup at this point is unavoidable, but before the princes "decide the outcome", the brothers and sisters must of course "stay a little farther away".

Jia Min said resolutely: "I'm a younger sister, so I should say what I should say, and I should persuade you. People also have their own reasons. Anyway, I... In fact, it's the master who protects and respects our nephews and nieces. I believe you."

In the past, his daughter-in-law also said, "I listen to you", but at that time he was just inclined, unlike now, the steps have already been taken, and there is little room for repentance.

The daughter-in-law's determination and trust made Lin Hai's face blush—who would not need or care about the support and trust of his family when he makes a major decision that affects the fate of himself, his family, friends, and even future generations.

To choose one among the princes early on... is simply a gamble with one's family and life on the line.

But the old man revealed his "traces", and the expressions of relief and surprise complemented each other, which made Jia Min also laugh.

Daiyu looks the most like the old man. In this life, she has both sons and daughters, and she is very proud of her career. The old man doesn't have the frosty look of his previous life at all.

Seeing his daughter-in-law staring at her for a long time, Lin Hai wiped her face, "Is there dust on my face?"

Jia Min smiled and leaned on Lin Hai's shoulder, "Master is so handsome, I was almost dumbfounded."

If it was that hypocritical man, I'm afraid he would say "what nonsense", and he looked annoyed, but he was secretly happy.

And Lin Hai coughed lightly, "Good compliment, I like to hear that. Minmin say a few more words."

Jia Min twisted Lin Hai's arm resolutely, "I'm so proud..."

But they said that the couple were flirting, and the laughter could even be heard by the little girl waiting in the corridor outside. At this moment, neither Daiyu nor Brother Sui dared to come over to disturb...but some people had to for the sake of their future. Visit at night.

This person is Lin Hai's same subject, from Juren to Jinshi.It's just that after winning the Jinshi, he was not allowed to enter the Imperial Academy, so he came to the south of the Yangtze River to be an official, from the seventh rank to the current fifth rank.

This person made a few fortunes with Sun Er, and it was precisely because he was close to the Sun family that no matter whether it was Lin Hai or Zhou Li who came to work, he didn't come together to reminisce about the old days.

Now he belongs to the group of people waiting for the news at home—the real felons, some of whom have committed suicide, while others were killed or captured by the commander in chief during their resistance.

There are not a few people who come to Lin Hai to intercede, but those who are cheeky and uninvited come to the door to intercede... This is really the first one.

Lin Hai didn't reject the door, and used this person's mouth to spread the news of the imperial envoy, the master, the senior brother and his decision.

The two imperial envoys had no intention of avoiding concealment at all. While taking responsibility, it also meant that the two of them took most of the credit—this was what they should have meant.

Before the two princes ordered the two governors and commanders of Liangjiang to send troops, Governor Jiang and the others also reached a consensus that they would not protect civil servants who had anything to do with Sun Er, no matter what relationship these civil servants had with them.

Lin Hai didn't hide it, and his fellow subject turned pale when he heard this - he came in the rain, but he was actually a little embarrassed.

This person was silent for a long time, but Lin Hai didn't want to be too ruthless for the sake of the same subject, so he persuaded, "There is always someone in Jiangnan who should be an official." The law does not blame the public, but the road to promotion is really blocked.

Pity.Lin Hai thought.

Except for himself, a strange person who has made great progress all the way, among the same subjects, he can reach the fifth rank within ten years, and the third rank is basically pinched.

Lin Hai, a fellow subject, changed his expression several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lin, let me tell you where the Sun family hides the money, can you keep me a copy?"

Lin Hai was very open-minded, "It's useless for me to protect you. With all due respect, King Rong should write the guarantee." In fact, this is just showing the way, "I will take you to see King Rong tomorrow."

Sure enough, I found the right person!Hearing this, the person suddenly raised his head, "I know the Rong family should have heard the news and sent someone to distribute this windfall."

It is not unusual for Sun Er's downfall to be fueled by the Rong family behind him.The more unlucky the Sun family was, the more the Rong family could speak in front of the prince.

But the Rong family got hold of the Sun family's ~silver~ treasury, and planned to take it for themselves... This is taking advantage of the fire!Lin Hai stood up abruptly, "Let's go."

But he said that King Rong was in poor health, and if there was nothing serious, he would go to bed early, not to mention it was still raining outside... Lin Hai came quietly, and King Rong jumped out of the warm bed.

If you think about it with your feet, you know it must be a big deal!

It didn't count that King Rong got up by himself, he was like Fu Zhixin, and ordered someone to go to the next door to call his sixth brother - the sixth prince was also invited out of Baochai's room.

After Lin Hai entered the door to greet him, he didn't say much... Let him talk to the same subject.

The second prince took a deep breath and looked at his sixth brother, "Sixth brother, I'm sorry."

The sixth prince nodded and said, "Second brother, don't worry." He turned to look at Lin Hai's fellow subject, "My lord, lead the way."

The second prince looked at Lin Hai and said, "Master Lin, let's go together."

Lin Hai was not surprised at all, "Yes."

The Rong family's power is mostly in the northwest, but this time they can arrange for a good hand to come to the south of the Yangtze River... to grab peaches, who is giving them convenience?The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, who knows if there is anyone waiting for the fisherman to benefit? !

Therefore, the second prince must take this trip.As a real imperial envoy, if he doesn't go out on the horse, I'm afraid that the sixth younger brother will not be able to stop him with people there.
