Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber
Chapter 42
Daiyu and Miaoyu are among the ladies of the official family, but they are rare straightforward people - both of them also have the capital of straightforwardness.
Hearing that sister Miaoyu's clan elders wanted to send her into the palace, Daiyu also snorted, "Is this a poor donkey?"
Miaoyu's sarcasm was palpable, "Who says it's not. Those who are incompetent rush into the palace. They are reluctant to go in..." She whispered, "What else can I do in this life."
For those who are capable, the Holy Majesty and the empresses will invite the girls' parents into the palace separately, and the gossip reveals that they want to get married.Miaoyu's capable family uncle was treated in this way, and the daughter of this family uncle was indeed married to the fifth prince as the main wife.
Daiyu persuaded: "Don't be angry. My cousin was also sent to the palace by her family. She is very talented. After entering the palace, she was valued by the concubine De, and now she has a good marriage when she comes out of the palace. My cousin Baochai, who is more distant, is now in the Sixth Prince's residence."
Miaoyu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "So what?"
"No matter how good they are," Daiyu laughed, "Anyway, I don't want to go."
Miaoyu sighed when she heard the words: "No matter how beautiful the scene is, you can't help yourself."
Daiyu looked at Miaoyu for a long while, "Sister, you... are you..." Before she could finish speaking, she received a light pinch on her face, and Daiyu quickly covered her face, "You don't want me to speak anymore, I feel guilty."
Miaoyu lightly tapped Daiyu's shoulder, turned around and took an exquisite mahogany box from the shelf behind her, "Sister Yinglian asked someone to bring it to us, a good thing for us." She then explained for Yinglian, " Now the door of your house is not easy to enter."
Yinglian was in Yangzhou, and she had to rely on letters to communicate with her sisters.
Daiyu understood very well, "It's just that my family is not easy to enter for a while." She pointed to the east, "That uncle is very difficult to mess with, everyone has seen it. My parents are afraid that something will happen to me and my younger brothers. Very strict." After finishing speaking, he and Miaoyu put their heads together and read Yinglian's letter together.
The marriage between Yinglian and the son of the Fang family has already been decided, and they will get married only when they are old.When Yinglian returned to her biological parents, the lines in the letter were filled with happiness and carefree...
After reading the letter and sharing Yinglian's gifts, Daiyu said to Miaoyu, "Our family is going back to Beijing."
Miaoyu was not surprised: just looking at her father's expression and tone, she knew that her father must have won this match.My father got a lot of benefits from this, and my father's Uncle Shangfeng Lin would only get more.
Uncle Lin has already become a chief envoy, and the governor Jiang above him is older than Uncle Lin, so he may not be able to move, so Uncle Lin can only be transferred.
Miaoyu thought clearly, but she was very reluctant to part with Daiyu, "There are so many sisters, only you and I can say that. It would be great if... we could be together in the future."
Girls always want to get married, and they will be together in the future... With Sister Miaoyu's personality, she will never think of sisters serving a husband together, so the two sisters will only be the two sisters-in-law in the future.
Thinking of this, Daiyu immediately teased, "You still said you didn't... Oh, you can't say it, just do it, and you pinched my face again, and it turned red to see how my mother will deal with you."
Miaoyu stretched out her hand pretendingly, and grabbed Daiyu who was hiding from left to right, but in fact she poked or patted Daiyu lightly, "At least I caught all of these years."
When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help feeling sad, but she still persuaded, "Our father is both an official, and there will be a day when we will be reunited."
Miaoyu nodded, and laughed again after a while, "I'm confused. We're not together, so we can't get close?"
But in the study, Lin Hai not only told Han Qi that he was going back to Beijing in a few days, but also suggested to him: If the second prince and the sixth prince show their favor to win him over, he should do as he pleases.
Han Qi smiled knowingly, but it touched the wound, he covered his face and said nothing.
When Jia Min saw Han Qi's sturdy young son, he teased him for a while, and said a lot of words to appease Mrs. Han—the trouble caused by Mrs. Han's natal brother is still unclear.Apart from worrying, she felt sorry for her master.
Fortunately, Jia Min explained it, and she calmed down a lot: At this time, your master is not in prison and there is no need to shut up and think about it. What are you thinking about so much.
Lin Hai's family stayed at Han Qi's residence for dinner, and they left together after the meal.
In the next half month, the two imperial princes still searched Sun Er's Tibetan silver land conscientiously. As for the other finishing "chores", Governor Jiang presided over them.
Those officials who were imprisoned and pondered behind closed doors were either taken back to the capital for trial in batches, or they waited at home for the final punishment.
When it comes to punishment, it is the matter of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Officials. It does not make much sense for the officials who are to be punished to entrust their connections in Jiangnan—the only honorable family in Jiangnan who can "reach heaven and listen" is Sun Home.The future of his family is uncertain.
Therefore, in the last half month in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Hai's family lived a very comfortable life.
Daiyu and brother Sui followed cousin Zhu to the West Lake and back to Gusu, but unfortunately there was not enough time to go back to Yangzhou.
In early autumn, Lin Hai's family embarked on the road back to Beijing together with the two imperial envoy princes.
Back to Beijing by boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there was nothing wrong on the way, so the second prince and side concubine invited Jia Min and Daiyu mother and daughter to come and talk together. Of course, Baochai was also present.
Baochai may have had a heart for comparison, but now she knows that her future is very different from that of sister Daiyu.
How can Baochai make enemies indiscriminately if even the vicious and jealous Mrs. Wang dare not directly treat Jia Min?
Although the prince didn't say it seriously, she also guessed that Mr. Lin should be very close to the prince or the second prince.What's more, my father had to be helped by Mr. Lin to fill in the vacancy. If Mr. Lin "doesn't go well", my father may not end up well.
So Baochai always had a decent smile on his face, and he didn't try to make friends with Daiyu in front of his side concubine and Jia Min because of his familiarity with Daiyu.
Seeing it, Jia Min admired Baochai more: this child is much more stable.According to this, it may not be impossible to really "strive for a clear road" for myself and my natal family.
She didn't know if the Fang family girl would enter the palace in this life, but judging by the temperament of the sixth prince, Baochai would have had a child long ago.To be honest, she really didn’t choose Baochai, but Baochai’s life is good. Baochai’s father, Xue Huan, will be more motivated to work as an official—to find someone who is reliable, not greedy for money and has a heart of love for the people, who is willing to do things. How can it be so easy for an official who has made some political achievements and won a good reputation?
With imperial envoys "leading the way", the journey was naturally smooth, and it only took more than ten days to reach the suburbs of Beijing.
The two princes are the same as Lin Hai: after going ashore, they have to wait for the emperor's will first, whether to enter the palace or go home to rest.
When I heard that my uncle and aunt's family was going back to Beijing, Jia Lian was already waiting at the pier.Together with Jia Zhu, he led people to help the chief steward of the Lin Mansion carry the salutes ashore one by one.
After more than an hour, the great eunuch of the Holy Majesty brought an oral order: the boats and cars are exhausted, so everyone should go home and rest first.Wait until tomorrow's court meeting before entering the palace to play.
Lin Hai bid farewell to the two princes, as well as the eldest son of King Ning of Beijing Jing, and watched the motorcade of the princes leave.He turned around and smiled, "Go home first."
Jia Lian and Jia Zhu simply sent their uncle's family back home, and asked for tea and snacks before returning to Rongfu in a leisurely manner.
The two brothers went to meet Jia Mu first.
It happened that Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng's son Li Wan and his sister-in-law, Sichun and Xiangyun Baoyu were all there - it was morning, and it was time to study.
However, when Baoyu studied, he spent three days fishing and two days drying the net. If he didn't want to study, he would stay at home, or go wherever the excitement was.I heard that the eldest brother came back today, so there is no reason not to show up.
In short, Jia Zhu, who hadn't seen him for more than a year, reappeared, and he was much more nourished than before, especially at this time, his eyes, which were already divine, were full of indescribable charm: after many years of experience by his uncle, just watching I don't know how much knowledge I have gained, let alone he has done a lot by himself.
Looking at Fengshen's handsome grandson, Jia's mother was so relieved.
Love~movement~, the eye circles of the old man are a little red.Seeing this, Jia Zhu went straight forward for a few steps and bowed down in front of Jia Mu, "Grandson pays respects to grandma."
Mrs. Wang couldn't hide her excitement, and even wiped away her tears afterwards.
Yuan Chun was more tense than his mother, with a bright smile on his face.Just looking carefully, it's not difficult to see that her cheeks were flushed red, and it was even red to the tips of her ears.
Compared with the excitement of the women in the back house, Jia Zheng, who returned home in the evening, was much calmer when he saw the eldest son.
As usual, he first asked about his son's homework—the eldest son's homework is not something he can take the school exams at will now, but fortunately Jia Zheng still has this self-knowledge.
But a father should give advice to the eldest son. After drinking half a cup of tea, he said, "Following your uncle, your homework really improves a lot. But you don't have to post the dignitaries who often hang out with your uncle to ask for it." It's no fun."
Jia Zhu responded blankly: Does this mean that I shouldn't get too close to my uncle, and I shouldn't get too close to the two princes?Of course, how to do it is another matter.
He thought to himself: Will Donggong be harsh on father because uncle is helping the two princes in Zhejiang?After thinking about it, if the prince really called his father to question him, his father would never be so calm.
The more Jia Zhu thought about it, the more helpless he became: The prince might not remember his uncle and his relatives, could he?In fact, Lian's second brother had been a candidate for so many years, but he didn't make up for an official position until his uncle came forward...he had expected this.
Jia Zheng couldn't guess what his son was thinking.
Seeing that Brother Zhu was still sensible, Jia Zheng was quite happy, put down the teacup and continued, "Your uncle is going back to Beijing to report on his duties. Now that you are back, follow your mother and go to your uncle's place more often."
Jia Zhu remained silent.He suddenly felt that his father was a little pitiful.
When he was still a day away from the capital, he heard from his uncle that his uncle Wang Ziteng had arrived in Beijing and had been waiting for the imperial edict to summon him at the posthouse.But my father said that my uncle is coming back soon...
In all fairness, if Jia Zhu hadn't stayed by Lin Hai Jia Min's side and was deeply influenced by his uncle and aunt, he wouldn't have been so "partial" towards his father and uncle.
The next day, Lin Hai happened to meet Wang Ziteng when he was waiting for the Holy Majesty to summon him.
What Wang Ziteng has done these years has been hidden from Jia Zheng, but not from Lin Hai: Wang Ziteng first voted for the Sun family, but the Sun family was too greedy and did not help him in the future, so after he was transferred to the Northwest, he quietly disappeared. Leaning on the Rong family.
Thinking of this, Lin Hai also secretly smiled: Wang Ziteng is here to beat up the dog in the water?Just what I want.
It just so happened that the eunuch came to send a message, "Please come in and see Mr. Wang."
Lin Hai cupped his hands at the prince.Wang Ziteng also nodded, and immediately followed the eunuch.
Lin Hai waited for less than a quarter of an hour before the eunuch came to invite him in.He had just stood up when the sound of "The prince is here" came to his ears, so he had to bend down again, "I have seen the prince."
His gaze rested on Lin Hai for a moment before the prince said slowly, "Lord Lin, excuse me."
Hearing that sister Miaoyu's clan elders wanted to send her into the palace, Daiyu also snorted, "Is this a poor donkey?"
Miaoyu's sarcasm was palpable, "Who says it's not. Those who are incompetent rush into the palace. They are reluctant to go in..." She whispered, "What else can I do in this life."
