Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

In this life, Daiyu and Baochai only played a scene in Rongguo Mansion - both girls have both parents, and they live comfortably in their own houses in Beijing. Who would live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time? ?

In short, the two gorgeous girls only left Baoyu with a short, stunning and vivid memory, and after that...he had no chance to get close.

Daiyu and Baochai are not here, so the bond between Baoyu and Xiangyun is of course deeper than in previous lives.

Xiangyun was very excited to be able to live in Rongfu because her uncle was a foreigner, and she could still hold back at home. Almost to the sideburns.

When Baoyu came back from school to visit Jia Mu, what he saw was Xiangyun smiling and nestling in Jia Mu's arms. The eldest sister Yuan Chun was sitting beside Jia Mu, looking at Xiang Yun with a smile and saying nothing.

Jia's mother originally thought about Baoyu and Daiyu's pairing. Firstly, they are of the same age, and secondly, they are more intimate. If the daughter and son-in-law can take care of Baoyu again, then Baoyu's future naturally need not be worried.

After a few years, however, Mother Jia finally understood: her daughter valued Zhu Geer, and also liked Yuan Chun, and even Lian Geer got a serious official position, but she ignored Baoyu—the daughter's attitude was already clear. She didn't want to make fun of herself either.

No matter how much the old lady prefers Baoyu, she knows in her heart that Baoyu's current status is not worthy of Daiyu.

The second daughter-in-law once even fell in love with her niece Baochai, and they also kissed each other more closely, but unfortunately, the girl entered the palace before she was fifteen years old... Every girl around her had thought about it, and after thinking about it, she felt that girl Yun was also a good girl. Not a bad candidate.

Anyway, the children are still young, and the marriage is not in a hurry, so it's better to pick and choose slowly.

Grandma's mind, Yuan Chun can guess eight to nine points.

Among other things, my aunt would never marry Daiyu's cousin to Baoyu.Although Baoyu was talented, she refused to make progress. She, the older sister, persuaded her several times, and even sued her mother, but her mother didn't take it seriously, and only said that Baoyu would naturally be sensible when she grew up.

Yuan Chun could also figure out what was going on in his mother's mind: probably the eldest brother and she were hard-winged, and each had more ideas than the other, and the youngest brother and mother had to "hold in their hands" whatever they said.

Anyway, the eldest brother and she can't act according to mother's expectations, so let Baoyu, who is gentle and considerate, calm mother's heart.

Yuan Chun thought about something, but he didn't show it.

Baoyu was asking at this moment, "Sister Yun, won't you leave this time?"

Xiangyun replied with a smile: "Brother love, I want to stay longer this time."

"You still live in the warm pavilion", "I still have something interesting for you"...the two talked happily for a long time: they both knew that Jia Mu always liked to be lively, and the two of them did not shy away from talking.

Yuan Chun glanced at his grandmother's face and said, "Just looking at them both makes me feel happy."

Mother Jia patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and asked with a smile, "How are you cleaning up?"

To be the main wife of the clan, the dowry is generous.Mother Jia prepared a large sum of money for her granddaughter, and daughter Jia Min also made up a whole box of good things.Not counting what every girl in the public has, and the part that the daughter-in-law sticks to the granddaughter, just relying on their mother and daughter, they can get it when they marry the prince's son, not to mention that the grandson-in-law is only the second son of the county king .

When it comes to dowry, Yuan Chun also can't laugh or cry: After reading the gift list sent by his aunt, his mother didn't speak for a long time.She nodded, "I checked it three times. Grandma is relieved."

After hearing this, Jia Mu asked a few more words.Just as Yuan Chun answered, a familiar laughter came from outside: Sister Feng is here.

Sister Feng came in and met Jia's mother, and after seeing Yuanchun Baoyu Xiangyun, she asked Xiangyun with a smile, "Are you coming to live longer? Will you stay here?"

No matter how straightforward Xiangyun was, he couldn't handle such teasing.She blushed, and immediately turned her head to complain to Jiamu, "Look at her!"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This monkey loves to joke."

Baoyu looked at this and that: He was obviously very happy, but for some reason he was inexplicably disappointed...

But Yuanchun came out of his grandmother's yard, returned to his room, and Baoqin personally handed over a thick letter.

Baoqin's elder brother is the eldest brother Jia Zhu's long-term follower, and her "body letter" to her is sent from Baoqin's elder brother, and Yuanchun also receives the letters for her.

Yuan Chun waited for Baoqin to pour tea before she sat by the window and opened the envelope.

In the letter, Jia Zhu first briefly introduced the current situation in Hangzhou - there is nothing to hide, and if Yuan Chun wanted to report to Zhang Di, he would naturally know.

What Yuan Chun cares most about is the elder brother's position.She was fortunate to have seen the true colors of the princes in the palace. She had long been influenced by the concubine De and had a slight criticism of the prince, and the prince was facing a situation where a group of brothers were attacking, and seeing the attitude of the East Palace towards her, Plus her future husband-in-law, Yin Ze, blows the wind from time to time...

The already firm position is now as stable as a rock!

She even secretly rejoiced several times: it is the best policy for elder brother to stay away.

Now, knowing from what her brother said inside and out, not only her brother, but also her uncle and aunt seem to be not optimistic about the East Palace, Yuan Chun is relieved again: Although she can't say it directly, she believes in her uncle's vision and methods more than her father and uncle.

Yuan Chun came back to his senses, and looking down, he saw his brother wrote: We will be one family in the future, my uncle and aunt send hello to the second son of Prince Ning.

My uncle is now a high official in the frontier, and my uncle and aunt are elders, so why do I have to ask him... okay?The uncle's family and his said that they are in-laws have taken a big turn... Yuanchun was instantly blessed: it turns out that his uncle, aunt and his family are really "family"?

Reminiscent of the two princes' imperial envoys who went south, Yuan Chun had an epiphany.

She was overjoyed, and when she closed the letter, she wanted to take Lian's second brother to see Yin Ze again, and tell him the good news.

Having said that, it wasn't that Yuan Chun was extroverted, it was that she was highly valued by Concubine De in the palace, and when she returned to the mansion, her parents still regarded her as an ordinary boudoir daughter, besides, her father was always persistent, at least her brother and her teaming up now couldn't persuade her.

But it is said that father and son have different backgrounds and have different choices, which is not uncommon among the powerful ~ expensive ~ families in Beijing.As long as the father and son don't both fail, the whole family won't suffer too much from the "wrong choice" depending on who "chooses the right one".

The poor Jia Zheng, the head of the second bedroom's family, didn't know what he looked like in the hearts of his children, and he was frightened at the moment: why did my brother-in-law... show no mercy to the mother clan of the Eastern Palace!What should I do if the crown prince blames me? !Is it possible to escape now by recuperating for a while in the name of being ill?

But the fifth prince also knew the attitude of the second brother and the sixth brother from his confidants: he has limited manpower in the south of the Yangtze River, even if he knew the places where Sun Er's money was hidden, no one would be able to safely transport this "windfall" back.

Then it's better to go with the second brother and the sixth brother, hand in part to the father, and share the rest.Having made up his mind, he ordered Chang Shi to deliver the message again.

After dismissing all the staff, he stepped into the inner house and went straight to the princess's yard... Hearing the news, the side concubine who had been elaborately dressed almost smashed the teacup in her hand.

The side concubine secretly hated and said: I never see newcomers laughing.After discussing matters with your confidants, why don't you come to my yard first? !

The fifth prince entered the main room, and when he saw the princess, he said straightforwardly, "Is the princess familiar with Han Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou?"

The concubine also has a quick temper, "I'm not familiar with it, but I usually have etiquette exchanges, does the prince have anything to say?"

"Let's talk about the old relationship first." The fifth prince sat on the kang, "I want to arrange some people in Jiangnan."

Sun Er ran away... Although the news on the surface is that he was ambushed by a pirate, and his life and death are unknown. Although the officials in the south of the Yangtze River implicated by him are not very high-ranking officials, there are too many of them--up to the fourth and fifth ranks, that is, Taoism At the prefect level of Taiwan, no matter whether it is promotion, transfer or demotion, it must be registered in front of the Holy Majesty.

To put it bluntly, for officials who have reached the fourth and fifth ranks, the future they pursue is no longer something that Sun Er or even the Sun family behind him can promise and decide.Therefore, relying on money, Sun Er did not really leverage a few fourth- and fifth-rank officials, except for those who participated in cheating in the examination room.

Therefore, most of the officials who were convicted this time were of the sixth or seventh rank, and the vacant official positions were enough for the fifth prince to arrange several talents who were close to him.But the details, as well as whether the second brother and the sixth brother are behind the scenes in Hangzhou, you have to find someone who understands to know a thing or two.

The fifth prince felt that it was too difficult for Lin Hai and Zhou Li - both of them were standing behind the elders, and the magistrate Han Qi was obviously a good candidate for "benefit without cost".

The concubine's father is optimistic about the fifth prince, otherwise he may not be willing to marry his beloved daughter.Concubine Han immediately responded when she heard the words, "The concubine sent someone to go back and ask."

Obviously, the fifth prince could not get the news from Jiangnan faster than his father.

The Holy Majesty has been sitting in the study for a long time in the past few days: the Sun family's power in the south of the Yangtze River has been cleansed up and down, and the two sons did not disappoint him.

But the Rong family also met with money, which was really beyond his expectation - the Rong family has been very honest for so many years, and it is precisely because of being too honest that they are so short of money.

From this point of view, the Rong family still cannot replace the Sun family, otherwise the precious son will have to worry about money... It's just that the two families have stretched their arms, and the Sun family will naturally lose an arm, and the Rong family... let them lose a finger That's all.

To make such a decision, the Holy Majesty didn't spend even half an incense stick of effort.

What really bothers him is that... the crown prince hasn't come to him so far to confess and condone the Sun family's mistakes, and he didn't even mention the Sun family after so many days—is he throwing the Sun family over to me to clean up?

At the same time, the Holy Majesty found that his sons' attitude towards the prince became more and more subtle...

As the emperor and father, he always had wishful thinking, thinking that his sons should grow up in a friendly sparring process, no matter how much unhappiness they had in the competition, they should continue to be brothers and sisters in the future, and the whole family should live in harmony.

The Holy Majesty thought that he was not a partial emperor, and he had always been very kind to his sons.He thought about it for two full days, and finally decided to give his sons a little sweetness first, so that they would not always miss their eldest brother.

The majesty's thoughts fell into the eyes of the noble concubine and the concubine de, and the two extremely shrewd women just sneered in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of summer, and the holy order came faster than Lin Hai imagined.

Originally, he thought that he, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, would be able to do it next year.But when he came home from the yamen, he smiled and held his daughter-in-law back, "Don't you regret that you can't go back to Beijing to watch Yuan Chun get married?"

Jia Min was taken aback, but was immediately pleasantly surprised, "What's the good news? Don't be a fool."

The master always enters the door with a smile, can it be a good thing?

Lin Haidao: "Go back to Beijing to report on your duties first, and then wait for the decree... I am definitely transferred to the Northwest. This is what the master asked Brother Zhou to tell me, there will be nothing wrong."

Debriefing is usually done every three or six years, and this return to Beijing is obviously a special case: there is no doubt that the Holy Majesty summoned him.

Jia Min nodded, "Master has decided who to bring there, and all these must be prepared in advance."

"Forget it, Brother Han, he's done a good job as a magistrate." Lin Hai didn't hide anything, "It's better for Shi Ping to follow him to the northwest. It's just that he lacks a helper of the sixth and seventh ranks, so I'm a little hesitant."

Jia Min thought for a while and said, "How about Mr. Xue? Seeing how he has built dams and been an official for more than a year, his family's wealth is naturally not greedy for petty wealth, and being an official is more about his name. If he can follow him to the northwest, The master can save you a lot of trouble." In the previous life, the sixth prince was dispatched to the Northwest by the Holy One after successfully completing his imperial envoy.

Lin Hai pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."

But he said that the two princes have not left Hangzhou yet.

Baochai didn't know that her father's future was almost entirely in the hands of Lord Lin Hailin. She just received a letter from her former good sister Miaoyu today.

He greeted her in the letter and talked about a lot of trifles, especially mentioning his uncle and cousin two times and three times... After that, he even asked about the sixth prince.

Baochai instinctively sensed that something was wrong, she was used to being with the sixth prince and she would report decisively if she had any doubts.

It happened that the sixth prince came to her yard that day, and Baochai handed over the letter directly.With a glance at ten lines, the sixth prince has already confirmed that this is not a letter written by little sister Baochai to reminisce about the past, but Han Qi is asking him for help!

The sixth prince held the letter, turned his head and went back to the study, and ordered his confidants to go out and check: to see if the prefect of Hangzhou is at home.

A quarter of an hour later, the confidant sent back a message: Mr. Han has disappeared since he left the Yamen.The magistrate's daughter even reported that the letter to the aunt was prepared early... something happened today.

At this time, the sixth prince already understood why the magistrate Han asked her for help - because the mastermind behind the scenes couldn't be suppressed by the commanders.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to order someone to inspect, the voice of the officer outside the door had already reached his ears: King Shui Rong of Beijing, and Han Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou, joined hands to ask for an audience.

This is really... a coincidence.

When the sixth prince, Yin Hao, saw Han Qi, he really couldn't say that clever word: Han Qi came in with his arms hanging and half of his face swollen - he even stumbled a little when he walked.Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong couldn't bear to see it, and directly took Han Qi's arm.

As soon as Han Qi bent down, the sixth prince held his arm.

The sixth prince said: "There is no need to be too polite, Lord Han speak slowly."

Han Qi let out a long sigh, "Thanks to the King of Beijing, the low-ranking officials survived."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "It's really a fluke to be able to save Mr. Han."
