Enemies in the Red Chamber

Brother Yang is a qualified head of the family. He is calm, low-key and wise. .In the past two years, his great reputation is due to a great Confucian, who passed all his life's income to Brother Yang.

Shandong has always been a place where literati gather, and there are countless great Confucianists. It is not unusual at all, but this one is different. He is the most famous one in the past century. Counting his life, this gentleman can be called a strange person.This gentleman, surnamed Zhang, came from an ordinary family of squires. He was cowardly and cowardly when he was young. After his father died, his temperament suddenly changed.Just such a person, in this era where the reputation of filial piety is valued, Tsing Yi Manxue sat with a great Confucianist of the Confucian family empty-handed and discussed the Tao, and finally became the closed disciple of that great Confucian after three days.After finishing his studies, he did not stay out of office like his master did. Instead, he won the number one scholar and entered the officialdom. However, he was relegated to a remote village and became a seventh-rank sesame official because he scolded the head of the country for bullying others.At that time, the country had just experienced war, and it was time to recuperate. Due to the weak government control at that time, the life of the people was extremely miserable. Although it was not easy to change children and eat, drowning of female infants was often seen.Seeing the suffering of the people under his rule, an article centered on the overburdened corvee tax and the emperor's dislike for the people followed. It was widely circulated because of its gorgeous rhetoric, sharp writing style and sharp sentences. Since then, he has become famous all over the world. out of officialdom.

Thanks to his master's reputation is big enough, and his own reputation among the common people is good enough, the emperor at that time could only bear it even if he felt sick.After returning to Shandong, he abandoned the heart of governing the country and followed his master's ambition, and began to write books and lectures, and became famous among scholars again because of his novel angles and penetrating views.Later, the emperor changed two. As Zhang Jun got older, his edges and corners gradually became smoother. When he was young, he was introverted, and then he began to recruit disciples, and gradually became a famous Confucianist all over the world.When he died, Zhang Daru was already the most respected person by the students in Shandong, and he was also the most admired person by Yang Shili.

Zhang Daru is also weird that he has never been married in his life, and he doesn't even have a concubine. It's not because of any special preferences, but he made it clear that what he wants to find is a life partner, not a slave. , I even look down on myself, regard myself as a man's vassal, regard a man as the sky, and have no strength of character.Many people lamented that he couldn't match such a girl when he was young, but by the time he did, he was already old.Mrs. Yang had met him a few times when she was at Kong’s house. Sister-in-law Yang and Daiyu had overheard Mrs. Yang’s words. In fact, these words were just excuses. The real reason was that he had someone in her heart. Mrs. Yang remembered meeting him before. It is a portrait of a woman. The woman's hair and clothing are very strange. She stands with her head bowed. Her pair of sharp red phoenix eyes seem to be able to look down on the world. Those little sisters in those days guessed whether the girl in the building who was dressed so casually, because he was different from him I missed it because of the huge difference in identity, and later denied the guess because of those eyes.

If this is the case, Zhang Daru is just a great Confucianism, and his reputation is truly known all over the world after his death.The old man has peaches and plums all over the world, but in the end those students did not get a single word from him, and his life collection and manuscripts were not left in the Kong family, let alone Yang Shili, who was very close to Zhang Daru in recent years and was rumored to be the second of Zhang Daru. , Instead, when he was dying, he took Brother Yang as a closed disciple and left all of them to Brother Yang.Not to mention that outsiders are surprised, even Brother Yang himself finds it incredible.

When he was actually sorting out his manuscripts, Brother Yang carefully opened a rosewood box with a big brass lock, and the manuscripts inside were divided into two piles, both of which were wrapped in oiled paper.Opening the first book in one of the stacks, it read the words 'Heavy Weapons of the Country' at the beginning. He was taken aback, and closed it with a click. After calming down, he opened the top book of the other stack. It turned out to be the word "the foundation of all peoples".Halfway through the scroll, Brother Yang was so frightened that he didn't dare to leave the study room.He no longer paid attention to the etiquette of father and son, so he sent a servant to invite Master Yang to his study.After Master Yang came over, Big Brother Yang ordered his confidants not to allow anyone to come in, and closed the door with his own hands, tremblingly showing the manuscripts in the box to Master Yang.Only looking at the general outline of the first volume of the two stacks of manuscripts, Master Yang almost sat down on the ground, swallowed hard and said with difficulty: "This...if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart...".

Then he sighed: "The old man refused to admit defeat all his life, and he was still hurt after all. Otherwise, according to his temper, he would have to watch a little bit appear with his own eyes before he can rest assured! Who knows..." Shaking his head with a sigh.

This matter can't be discussed with the clan members with great fanfare. It's really a dilemma to put the pressure on the father and son.The two of them also thought about keeping things secret. If there wasn't such a thing, the Yang family really didn't need to show such a big limelight. It's a pity that the two of them might be a little cautious about small things for the sake of the family, but they weren't completely selfish when it came to such big things. It is a major matter related to the livelihood and lives of thousands of people, and it is a shame not to take it out.But after taking it out, everyone is innocent and guilty, and there may be that villain who thinks that everyone will have ulterior motives and think that the Yang family will stay behind. At that time, Brother Yang will definitely be under pressure as the entrusted person, and the Yang family will also Will stand in the limelight, but the Yang family can't guarantee that every generation will have descendants who will escort them, which is really worrying.

On the second day, his eyes were darkened, and the corners of his mouth were blistered. Brother Yang finally decided to donate the manuscript.Afterwards, things happened one after another. Master Yang was sitting at home, brother Yang and Yang Shili brought a full entourage, and they went to Beijing with a bookcase on their backs, and finally sent the manuscript directly to the emperor through Lin Ruhai's recommendation.After seeing it, the emperor jumped up, left the dragon seat and walked for a long time before he calmed down. Looking at Brother Yang who was kneeling below, he only said two words in a deep voice, "Very good!" and then sent him away.Without his order, Brother Yang also knew that he couldn't say anything outside.

The content in the manuscript is really unbelievable. According to "Heavy Weapons of the Country", it is possible to fight and attack the city without using ladders and wooden stakes. You can change the things used to make fireworks; you can use an iron block instead of arrows. You can shoot the enemy at a distance of 200 meters; you can see the enemy's situation hundreds of meters or even a thousand meters away with two pieces of transparent crystal glass; you can burn some boiling water instead of manpower to push the mill, pull the cart and spin the thread Weaving...these things were unheard of!But if it is true, it is conceivable that there will be great benefits, and the frontiers will be pacified and the kingdoms will not be far away.

Then I opened "The Book of Ten Thousand Peoples", and it clearly stated that several different kinds of rice were planted in a special way for several seasons, and all the land could grow Jiahe, and the yield per mu could reach eight, nine, or even a thousand catties; Ornamental flowers brought from the ground can become the staple food of the people; stones can be burned to produce powder that turns into stone when exposed to water; there are wheels that can keep carriages from bumping; glass mirrors and soap can be produced in large quantities. It’s still so cheap... Not to mention the latter, if the food item alone is true, adding some water in "The Heaviest Weapons of the Country" can save labor and effort. The car can run fast without horses, Don't you have to worry about the famine year...

The more the emperor thought about it, the more excited he became. It took him two days to turn the manuscript from beginning to end.Due to sitting still for a long time, he staggered when he stood up, and then his throat was sweet, as if a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and he sat back on the dragon chair slumped, no matter how good he was, he might never have a chance to see it. "Come on, call the prince here..."

In fact, what happened after that had nothing to do with the Yang family. After receiving a lot of rewards, they just waited for the court's action.The royal family did not conceal the achievements of Zhang Daru and Brother Yang. Everyone knew that Brother Yang was a closed disciple of Zhang Daru, and he personally presented books.In order not to be said to be a waste of national power, the imperial court finally decided to publish the general outline of the two manuscripts, which is the first book at the beginning of each book. Now they are waiting to see whether the contents of the manuscripts are true.

It takes long-term efforts to increase the yield of rice Jiahe. It can be seen from the manuscript that the right time, place and people are necessary. However, the promotion of potatoes, corn and other crops can see results in the second year. One of the trial planting counties coincides with In the drought, if we just planted beans, melons and vegetables to satisfy our hunger after the wheat harvest in the past, we would definitely starve to death everywhere. Just because we added a crop of corn, many people survived.After the news spread, many of the peasants put Zhang Daru's tablet in the shrine first.And those things that can be effective after understanding the method, such as glass mirrors, can see results quickly. Although it also makes some people lose their fortunes, most people are still grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and they also appreciate the other more incredible things in the manuscript The content has seven points of confidence.

So Brother Yang, who personally presented the manuscript and was a closed disciple of Zhang Daru, became popular for a while. The names of the master and apprentice can be heard as long as there are people, and even the history books have left a deep impression. Pen, these proven ones alone are worthy of the historians writing a piece of praise that does not belong to the emperor.For a while, Brother Yang's worth doubled, and almost everyone thought that Brother Yang must have a backup.

Under such circumstances, the Yang family had already come to a conclusion, and they would never take advantage of the situation to compete for fame and fortune, and the Yang family would not accept disciples.Although Brother Yang didn't know why he was accepted as a closed disciple by Zhang Daru, but he knew about his family affairs, he could be regarded as a registered disciple at best, and it would be a guilty conscience for him to accept him under the banner of a direct successor.However, some people prefer to use all means to achieve their goals, intimidate and lure them to pretend to be pitiful, and their tricks are endless. Not only the eldest son of the Yang family, but also Daiyu and Yang Shili are not immune.

But Lin Zhao and Cheng Hui, who were far away in Guangdong Province, actually added fuel to the fire, and wanted to ask Daiyu to help introduce them, so it was no wonder that they happened to hit Daiyu's muzzle.

The author has something to say: There are no idols in front of the country, just do it and cherish it.If you don't die, you won't die, light the wax for a certain company!

☆、Extra chapter Wulin's growth story 1

After giving birth to seven sons, one girl is born. No matter how many children, grandchildren, and blessings, the family must treat this girl as a treasure, not to mention Mrs. Wu and General Wu are not the kind of people who value sons over daughters. .Especially General Wu, the Wu family has always had many sons and daughters, no matter what generation, as long as there is a daughter, the whole family loves and pampers them.In the generation of General Wu, no matter whether it is his branch or other houses in the clan, there are no daughters, so when they were young, they yelled with their uncles and fathers to vent their anger for their married aunts.At that time, the man married by my aunt was weak, and their house could not be eaten by the family. After the death of my aunt, some people wanted to start a moth, and the men of the Wu family were eager to fight. Go to fight for my aunt in a mighty way.Everyone who heard about that battle was shocked!The elders of the aunt's family personally came forward to persuade a group of evil stars away. Although the aunt was a widow, she was not abused and treated badly until her death.At that time, General Wu was still a brat who was barely old enough, jumping up and down clamoring for anyone who dared to bully a girl from the Wu family for no reason, just wait!That vigor was no worse than the first time he went into battle to kill the enemy. Since then, he has made up his mind that if he has a daughter in the future, he will absolutely love him.

It's a pity that there are no absolutes in the world. After General Wu really had a daughter, even before he got married, his own daughter was wronged a lot.Until General Wu was old, and at the moment before he died, holding the hand of the old girl, he couldn't stop talking about "it's because father didn't protect you well back then." Mrs. Wu scolded him with tears in her eyes, "Old thing, how many years have passed?" , This is all dazed."

Having said that, after giving birth to seven sons, Mrs. Wu was pregnant with her eighth child. Both husband and wife were desperate for a daughter, thinking that it must be another son.When the midwife said "Congratulations, General, you are a daughter", General Wu was even happier than when his eldest son became a father for the first time.From the number of somersaults, it can be seen that when the boss was born, he had to do six somersaults to stabilize his mood. The daughter had a lot of somersaults after she was born, and the housekeeper counted more than ten.

Amitabha, fortunately Mrs. Wu understood that her daughter still had to go to someone else's house, and she didn't forget to teach the rules when she was petting her.Fortunately, General Wu has been away from the family since he was born to lead soldiers. There are only eight men in the family, and they are all submissively controlled by Mrs. Wu. .

Oh, Wu Bamei, who has been called for a long time, hasn't said her name yet.Since General Wu had a daughter, he tore out half of his hair and beard, and after a few days of hard work, he finally picked out the word Lin. The eighth sister was only called by her own name, and she was called Wu Lin when she met outsiders.It’s just that no matter whether it’s in the storybook or in the play, there was a Yang Bamei earlier, and it happened that the Wu family also joined the army. Although due to various taboos and taboos, people would not compare the Wu family with the Yang family generals, and mess around among the little girls A few words of address are still unavoidable, and the title of Wu Lin's Bamei Wu has gradually been called jokingly as she grows older.

When Wu Lin was born, General Wu was the general guarding the frontier, a dignified official of the third rank.In the area of ​​Xihaiyanzi, there are only one or two people who are higher in rank than him, and none of them have soldiers in their hands.In Xihai Yanzi, where wars are constantly going on, only those who have soldiers in their hands can count their words. Otherwise, no matter how glamorous the surface is, they will not be arrogant. Unfortunately, General Wu is very good at speaking from top to bottom.Among the girls from the official family, no matter what she does, she takes the lead.

The folk customs on the border are not as prosperous as the capital city where singing and dancing are peaceful. It is common for women to show their faces along the West Sea. When the war is urgent, it is also possible to send women to sew and cook to take care of the injured soldiers.As for men's and women's great defenses, they might not be able to save their lives, so why pay attention to those things?Even when the war is not urgent, there are not a few women from small households who come out to support their families.At first, it was just that the families of those men who had lost their top-ranking households couldn't live on anymore, and they came out to replace men to do work, and then it gradually became a custom, and everyone got used to it after a hundred years.That is, the ladies of the official family don't have to work like the girls from small families. Horse racing outings, horse hunting, and archery hunting are common.Mrs. Wu was born in a scholarly family, but she has to do as the Romans do. At most, she is forced to practice the Beijing rules and etiquette while having fun with her daughter.

Growing up in such an environment since she was a child, it is not easy for Mrs. Wu to develop such a character that is not unruly, self-willed, unreasonable, and knowledgeable about etiquette.But there is still a difference in the end. After returning to Beijing, compared to girls raised in other people's houses who can turn eighteen turns in one sentence and have several meanings in one look, Wu Lin's temperament is a little more innocent, cheerful, lively, Candid too much.Of course, it seems right to say that she is 'single stupid' to those who don't like her.

In the West Sea, where there is chaos every ten days, the general who leads the army has a higher status than the civil servant who can only grasp the pen.But in the capital city where wealthy businessmen are not as good as dogs, especially in the peaceful years, the status of a military officer is obviously not as good as a civil servant.Following General Wu's transfer from Xihaiyanzi, which is equivalent to being raised by honor, Wu Lin also returned to the capital with her father. Here, her status is really nothing.

Wu Lin has only experienced few setbacks and is not very discerning. She is still smart and has not yet gone out to socialize alone. She only noticed this change in status when she followed her mother to visit others and receive female guests.So when her mother said she wanted her natal girl to take her out, she didn't refuse, and made serious preparations, and made up her mind to be cautious in her words and deeds.

However, sometimes it is like this, even after making preparations, there are still all kinds of unsatisfactory things on the court.When we were in Xihai Yanzi, there was an unwritten rule among the girls, that is, the relationship between girls does not involve the grudges of adults. For example, the fathers of two families who have different political views will ridicule them when they meet, and the girls of the two families are more important than anyone else. Well, it's pretty common.In Beijing, it seems that there is a vague limit to the intimacy of girls. There is no other girls from different families who can hang out together. If you are too hot, people will think you are playing some bad idea. Those with a better temper smile and turn to leave, those with a bad temper can give you a supercilious look, this alone has brought Wu Lin a lot of trouble.

The various in-law relationships in Beijing are messy. For Wu Lin, who is not very familiar with the various genealogical relationships in Beijing, sometimes you think you are a stranger to others, but you don’t think that person may have long been hostile to you and is planning to cheat you. A hand.The power of the Wu family in the army, the natural ally of the Wu family, Mrs. Wu's natal family, and the natal families of several young wives are a force that is not easy to underestimate, and naturally there are families who are not at odds.Even with the reassignment of General Wu, a new enemy, the Nan'an Palace, was naturally established.

For other people's hostility, Wu Lin may not understand the reason, and will not fight back very well, but this girl has a big heart, and there is a saying that is good after hundreds of years, staying in the depths will naturally darken, Wu Lin will not Knowing this, but that's what she did.Adhering to the mentality that I can't afford to be offended and can afford to hide, I fled leisurely, relying on it, it doesn't matter if I leave, anyway, there is still my cousin, anyway, I won't be cold, so I restarted the topic.There are always a few people who don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. Even if she gives her cousin face, she will not make her cold. She has experienced many new things, and she is straightforward and cute. Slowly, most of the people gather around her , the next time we get together, I will naturally say hello, and after a few more words, I will become an acquaintance, and I will really kill the popularity of trying to isolate her.In the eyes of outsiders, this person who is even more stupid than that straight-hearted girl from the Shi family made her a best friend with her cousin and Daiyu from the Lin family, and through Miss Lin and some girls from the literati's family Befriended, and even led many girls to play games together, which really made some people who wanted to watch the fun secretly hate in their hearts.

Of course, these little girls are not the only ones who make small troubles. There are many nobles in Beijing, and princesses are not often seen. Those princesses and county owners often come out to socialize, although most of them are noble girls with strict etiquette, ( To a certain extent, these people represent the face of the royal tutors. Those who can get the canonization are all descendants. The mother is from a famous family, so the upbringing can't be bad. If the difference is too big, the queen can't agree. I really think that the mother is just sitting there. It’s okay to be used as a target by noble concubines, concubines, and concubines, it’s so naive!), but there are also one or two wonderful things who are spoiled, and their scheming methods are simply not on the table.There have been some things like doing it directly, but Wu Lin herself is not low in force, and there are seven older brothers and a father who loves her daughter, so they won each other without suffering a big loss.

If it's just like this, of course it's not worth it for General Wu to remember that when he was dying, he said that he wronged his daughter back then.

After General Wu was reassigned and returned to Beijing, the prince of Nan'an who took his place in Xihai Yanzi replaced him. As I said earlier, General Wu climbed to the position of general step by step from a small soldier by relying on his own ability. Whether it is a soldier or a young general, he respects him from the bottom of his heart.Although it is said that soldiers are controlled by soldier talismans, soldiers should be ordered and prohibited, but soldiers are also human and have their own ideas. Zhang Jiajun and Li Jiajiang are not joking.The soldiers led by General Wu are known as the Wu family army in private, and the Prince of Nan'an, just because he is a prince and has a noble status, wants to boss him around and incorporate him smoothly, which is a dream.Even if General Wu didn't intentionally make things difficult, the former subordinates would deliberately pose some difficulties to Prince Nan'an because of their dissatisfaction, so if they went to Nan'an Palace twice, they would naturally become hostile to the Wu family.Especially when Prince Nan'an's battle there was not going well, he didn't think he was not capable enough, but he blamed the Wu family even more.

Nan'an Palace can't touch the Wu family for the time being, they can only wait for the opportunity with their hands tied. It just so happens that the other enemy of Nan'an Palace is Lin Zhao, and what's more coincidental is that when they plan to plot Lin Zhao, they can just pull Wu Lin together.Come on, killing two birds with one stone couldn't be more wonderful!Didn't the Wu family spoil this daughter so much, then let's taste the taste of their daughter's reputation ruined first, if you can't win, you will have to hate you to death.Nan'an Palace is so cheap!

These days, the reputation of the daughter of a wealthy family is worth nothing, and a girl whose reputation is ruined will either die or be a green lamp and ancient Buddha for a lifetime. This trick can be said to be vicious.

Fortunately, Lin Hai is a kind person, and Jia Min has a good impression of Wu Lin in his heart, and it is okay to marry her as a daughter-in-law. Lin Zhaoguan's Wu family did not completely object, and finally let Wu Lin find a way out.Otherwise, no matter how the two families cover up this matter with rhetoric, they will always find out when someone else's family chooses a daughter-in-law. This one is not the only one who meets the requirements, so why bother to find a stained one? Ignore it, what's the matter!Even if you can marry, you can only marry at a low price. I don't know if my husband-in-law will mind.Marrying into the Lin family is the best way out.

Based on this point alone, Wu Lin is extremely grateful to the Lin family in her heart, so Wu Lin will always give in to Lin Zhao's various unsatisfactory things in the future.If you really use your temper, the life of the Lin family will be really lively.

Hey, even if it is a step back, the life of the husband and wife is very lively...
