[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

He defeated the foreigners and took back a lot of spoils. All the soldiers and officials who participated in the war were rewarded.

After the war, the Ministry of Industry was responsible for researching captured rifled flintlock guns and warships of the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations.Da Honglu was busy receiving foreign diplomats from various countries who kept coming to Beijing.

Su Yibo and General Lin Han from the second grade Yunhui once again brought a few carts of treasures and treasures that had just been rewarded, and visited Lin Ruhai, the servant of the household department, but this time it was not as simple as giving gifts to please the future father-in-law, but a thorough sit-down. Realize the identity of Lin Ruhai's future father-in-law.

Facing his stubborn daughter and Lin Han who was waiting for his reply, what else could Lin Ruhai say?My daughter has gone thousands of miles to the army to pursue her lover, so can we not allow their marriage?Besides, he was actually quite satisfied with Lin Han, who had a future, good looks, and a gentle and calm temperament, which just happened to complement Yiyu.Moreover, she is willing to adopt her and Yiyu's second child to his family.There's nothing wrong with being older, but on the other hand, older age hurts.So, Lin Ruhai waved with a smile and asked Lin Han to take away the carts of belongings and exchange them for the presents.

When Yiyu heard this, she jumped up for joy, hugged Lin Ruhai and acted coquettishly.Although she is not Lin Ruhai's real daughter, she truly regards Lin Ruhai as her father.Although she has identified Lin Han, she will not be happy if her marriage does not get Lin Ruhai's permission and blessing.

Lin Han's icy face (Li Lianyu) also broke through the ice, revealing an expression of joy and excitement.

Of course, Lin Ruhai still sticks to the bottom line, saying that Yiyu will not marry Yiyu until she reaches Ji.But for Lin Han, this is not a problem at all, but he can afford to wait a few years.As long as the identities of the fiancée are officially confirmed, he will be overjoyed.

Lin Ruhai looked at a pair of beautiful sons-in-law stroking their beards and smiling straight from one side, and an imperial edict descended from the other side.

"...I heard that Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the servant of the household department, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The queen mother and I are very pleased to hear it. Now that the emperor's fifth son year is weak and suitable for marriage, you should choose a virtuous woman to match. Lin Shi Daiyu is waiting in Yu's boudoir, and she and the five sons of the emperor can be said to be created by heaven and earth. For the beauty of being a beautiful woman, you are specially betrothed to marry the five sons of the emperor as the princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor. When I reach Ji, I will choose a good day to get married...I will announce it both at home and abroad, so that the envoys will hear about it. I respect you."

After hearing the content of the imperial decree, Lin Ruhai felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife, and he was in pain.

I thought that after the eldest daughter Yiyu was allowed to go out, there would still be a lot of time to carefully plan the future husband-in-law of the younger daughter Daiyu, and find a man who was unique in ten thousand, capable in both civil and military skills, who would love his wife and would not take concubines.Unexpectedly, an imperial decree came down to marry Daiyu to the "ignorant", "well-developed limbs, and more developed mind"... In the future, he will have a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right! ?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai felt his eyes go black, and his sky was spinning, but he had to pinch himself to prevent himself from passing out.Otherwise, a charge of contempt for the royal family cannot be escaped!

Daiyu, who didn't know what kind of thunderbolt was in the old father's heart, accepted the imperial edict gracefully.

The eunuch Xia Bingzhong who was in charge of announcing the decree couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the second girl of the Lin family is still young, she can already see that she is a beauty, and she will be a stunning beauty in the future!It's no wonder that the fifth prince would not think about eating and drinking for her, changed his old temperament, instead of wielding knives and guns, he danced with writing and ink, practiced calligraphy every day, and kept asking the teacher in the study for advice.

Xia Bingzhong said flatteringly: "The empress often praises the second girl Lin for her talents and looks in the palace. According to this old servant, His Highness the Fifth Highness and the second girl standing together are a match made in heaven!" Regardless of his position in the palace, No matter how high he sits, he always remembers that he is a servant, just a servant of the emperor and the royal family.

Daiyu blushed, bowed her head and remained silent.

Because of the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Li Lian, Daiyu has entered the palace several times under the leadership of her aunt Xiao Zhang and her cousin Jia Shan.Every time the empress treated her very warmly, she wished she could become her own daughter-in-law tomorrow, which made Daiyu almost overwhelmed.

The fifth prince, Li Zhan, was beaming from inside to outside at the moment, and he could feel it no matter how far he traveled.

He said with a smile on his face: "You slave talk to please me, this purse is your reward!" He tore off a puffy exquisite purse from his waist and threw it to Xia Bingzhong.

Xia Bingzhong quickly took the purse with both hands, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Regardless of the gold and silver inside, this purse is worth dozens of taels of silver just because of the gold thread embroidered on the outside, its material and its own craftsmanship.

"Old slave, thank His Highness the Fifth Prince and the Second Miss for their reward!" He could see clearly that the heart of the Fifth Prince had already flown to the second girl of the Lin family. To please the Second Miss Lin is to please the future Fifth Prince and Concubine. Fifth Prince.

Lin Ruhai, who managed to regain his composure, saw the big-tailed wolf shaking his head and tail at his precious daughter, and rushed forward to interrupt their interaction.

As soon as Li Zhan saw Lin Ruhai, he immediately felt guilty.

He originally planned to rely on his "true ability" and sincerity to ask Lin Ruhai to let go, and then express his heart to his father and mother, and ask for a marriage.Unexpectedly, the empress mother felt sorry for him and kept his hand on the scroll every day during this time, reading at night with the light on, and the fourth and sixth younger brothers were there to persuade him, and she actually persuaded the emperor to give the order of marriage directly.Although this is very satisfactory to him, it also disrupts his plan to please the old man!

You have to know that he "forcibly" married Lin Shilang's favorite jewel before he got Lin Shilang's approval. If he were Lin Shilang, I don't know how angry he is now. I'm afraid he didn't even think of killing someone with a knife. Have!

Xia Bingzhong on the side didn't know what Li Zhan was thinking, and wanted to sell the fifth prince and Lin Shilang, so he covered his mouth and smirked and said, "Ah! His Highness is now the son-in-law of Lin Shilang, how can you be so unfamiliar with him?" ? His Highness Fifth, don’t hesitate to call father-in-law!”

Hearing the word "father-in-law" forbidden, Lin Ruhai felt that his heart, which was already seriously injured, had been shot again, and he could not help but look more fiercely at Li Zhan.

Xia Bingzhong's "God Assist" really hurt Li Zhan, but Xia Bingzhong only had good intentions, and Li Zhan would never take his anger on him.

Concentrated, Li Zhan saluted Lin Ruhai respectfully.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law!" He bowed to the end.

"Your Highness Fifth, please get up quickly!" Even though Lin Ruhai wanted to leave in a huff, but under Xia Bingzhong's sight, he could only help his "son-in-law" up with both hands pretending to be flattered.

However, Li Zhan did not follow the trend, and still maintained a bent posture.He didn't want to get up, Lin Ruhai's weak waist of a scholar really couldn't support him.

"From now on, Zhan will definitely treat Daiyu well. She will never accept a second concubine for life, and will never make Daiyu sad! Father-in-law, please rest assured and hand over Daiyu to Zhan!"

Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Zhan brightly.

Li Zhan smiled at her and showed a row of white teeth, almost blinding Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai thought that by not allowing Li Zhan to enter the backyard, and by asking Li Zhan to shut the door, he could stop Li Zhan from abducting his daughter, that's too naive!

When Yiyu was chasing her lover thousands of miles away with the army, Lin Ruhai had to go to work every day, so Daiyu was the only master in the backyard of the Lin family in Youda.

Daiyu didn't like having too many people around her, so she only left the eldest maid, Xue Ou, to wait by her side, and the little girl Xueyan, who talked about it to relieve her boredom.

The back garden of the Lin Mansion was specially designed by artisans to be Jiangnan style. It is exquisite, beautiful and moving. Daiyu especially loves to play the piano, practice calligraphy and paint under the willow tree in the back garden.And this gave Li Zhan, a big-tailed wolf with ulterior motives, a chance.

The original owner of the mansion next to the Lin Mansion was a Tui Cheng of Dali Temple, who fell down during the last Beijing-cha turmoil and was seized by the government and ransacked his house, so the mansion was taken back by the court for future use.It just so happened that Li Zhan tried his best to get it from the emperor.The wall that separates the back gardens of the two mansions is neither high nor thick. If there is any noise from the two sides, the other side can clearly hear it.

Although he has not yet been entrusted, Li Zhan has to go back to the palace every day before the palace goes down, but he still goes out of the palace early in the morning to come here regardless of the weather.Reading aloud every morning attracted Daiyu's attention; playing music with incomplete tone in the afternoon made Daiyu laugh again and again, and couldn't help correcting her.We are not strangers in themselves (there are a lot of connections), and the two of them become more and more acquainted after coming and going, and even a small wall can't stop Li Zhan.From time to time, Li Zhan took some snacks from the palace and exquisite gadgets from the outside, leaped lightly, jumped over the wall, and landed in the back garden of the Lin Mansion to play and read with Daiyu.

Li Zhan is a stubborn guy. Ever since he fell in love with Daiyu at first sight, he only felt that there was nothing wrong with Daiyu. He didn't care about his dignity as a prince, and he always looked down on Daiyu like a big dog.

And Daiyu didn't know when she started, she was secretly concerned about Li Zhan.

Perhaps it originated from the figure that stared at him stupidly when we first met;

Maybe it started with the friendship of two people playing and reading together;

Perhaps it was moved by Li Zhan's heart that always cared about himself;

Perhaps it originated from Li Zhan's ability to tolerate her little willfulness;

Maybe it's because of Li Zhan's happy look from the bottom of his heart every time he sees him;

Daiyu is sensitive and careful, her love is simple, warm, simple and pure.Now that she has identified Li Zhan, no matter whether Li Zhan is a prince or a beggar, how difficult the future will be, she will always go on.

"Your Highness Fifth!" Xia Bingzhong growled anxiously, not caring about the distinction between superiority and inferiority.The royal family emphasizes more children and more blessings, so there is no such thing as monogamy! ?No matter how clean he is, there will always be a few beautiful concubines around him, not to mention that the fifth prince will at least be a prince in the future, besides a concubine, he can also have two side concubines and countless concubines!As soon as the fifth prince said this, if the emperor and empress thought it was because of his "misleading", he might lose his life!

Li Zhan ignored him, but stubbornly bowed his waist to salute, and met Lin Ruhai's eyes firmly.

"Why did Your Highness Fifth say this? Your Highness Fifth is distinguished. Although my daughter is young, she is familiar with women's precepts and understands women's virtues. She is by no means the kind of person who is jealous and can't tolerate others." Lin Ruhai suspected that Li Zhan was using it. Talking tentatively, running on himself (although he had never been seen to have such a high IQ in the past), and afraid that Xia Bingzhong would enter the palace to sue the emperor and queen, so he had no choice but to speak insincerely.

"Father!" Daiyu called out dissatisfied.

Lin Ruhai solemnly motioned her to shut up.

What Lin Ruhai thought of, Xia Bingzhong naturally thought of it too.

Xia Bingzhong suddenly realized, and stared at Li Zhan's handsome face with admiration.

He just said it!How can there be a cat in this world that doesn't steal?The Fifth Highness is brilliant!With Lin Shilang's reply, no matter how many beautiful concubines His Highness Fifth Highness will take in in the future, as long as the girl from the Lin family is guaranteed the status of concubine, Lin Shilang can't say anything!Otherwise, wouldn't it be self-blaming, thinking that her daughter violated the women's precepts, jealous and intolerant!

"Zhan's words are absolutely not false!" Li Zhan saw Lin Ruhai and Xia Bingzhong's expressions, and he knew what they were thinking, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Daiyu. .”

Daiyu knew that with Li Zhan's nature, since he said what he said, he would definitely do it.

She was so moved that her eyes turned red.

Seeing that Li Zhan was so determined, Xia Bingzhong hesitated again.

Looking at the fifth prince's affectionate look, it doesn't look like a fake, and he has such a high IQ, can he come up with such a way?

Xia Bingzhong was still half-believing, but Lin Ruhai was more than half convinced.

Firstly, because he knew Li Zhan's IQ well, and secondly, the imperial decree was ordered, and judging by the appearance of his own daughter, he might have fallen too!

The most important thing now is not to worry about the sincerity and credibility of the fifth prince's words, but to find a way to realize them!Since you can't pick a perfect son-in-law, then you can personally train and train a perfect son-in-law!

"Your Highness, please hurry up." Lin Ruhai turned his head to Xia Bingzhong and said without saying whether he believed it or not: "The emperor's kindness is so great, I am truly honored. Only by continuing to work diligently on the emperor's affairs can I repay the emperor's great kindness." Just in case." Waved Daiyu back to the room first.

Although he was thinking about how to "tune and teach" Li Zhan, on the surface Lin Ruhai invited him with a smile on his face: "Why don't the angels and the Fifth Highness come in and have a sip of tea!"

After the emperor's envoy announced the decree, no matter how the person receiving the decree was in his mood, he had to invite the angel to have a drink of tea and pay for his hard work. This was also an unspoken rule.

"Thank you Lin Shilang for your kindness! Our family has to go back to the palace to return to our orders, so we won't bother Lin Shilang any more!" Xia Bingzhong refused in a good voice. He also needed some time to organize and think about how to report to the emperor and queen.

"Then it's not easy to force me to stay!" Lin Ruhai signaled to the butler Lin who was already prepared beside him.

Butler Lin quietly handed him an exquisite purse.

After Lin Ruhai took it, he stuffed the purse into Xia Bingzhong's hands.

When Xia Bingzhong saw it, he waved his hands again and again: "What's the meaning of Lin Shilang? You can't do it, you can't do it!"

Lin Ruhai pushed forward, and said with a smile: "It's just a little thought, everyone has worked hard to make this trip, the right is for the tea, the right is for the tea."

Xia Bingzhong even used both hands, trying to push Lin Ruhai back, with his left hand behind and his right in front, and the cuffs were just in front of Lin Ruhai's eyes.

Lin Ruhai was a sensible person, so he took advantage of the situation and stuffed it in.

After Xia Bingzhong squeezed the thickness of the purse indiscriminately, he pretended to decline for a while before he gave up in satisfaction.

Although the material, craftsmanship and weight of the purse are not as good as the one that the fifth prince rewarded, but from the thickness of the inside, you can tell that there must be several large banknotes inside.

After receiving the money, Xia Bingzhong knew how to report to the emperor and empress in a short while, at least the "bastard talk" that the fifth prince said could be gently brushed aside with the spring and autumn style of writing.

Lin Ruhai pinched his nose to recognize Li Zhan as his son-in-law, and after he bought Xia Bingzhong, he had already prepared a set of plans in his heart for training and training Li Zhan, in order to train and train a perfect son-in-law who loves his wife.

Regardless of how Li Zhan was tortured to the point of death, the recent happy events in the capital can be described as one after another.

He Qi, who had already retired behind the scenes, came forward in person to propose marriage to the current colleague of Zhengsipintai Hospital for his second son.As soon as the news came out, the matter of replacing the daughter of the servant of the household department as the fifth prince's concubine immediately became a hot topic in the capital.

You must know that Zhao Guogong's He family has a clean and upright family style, full of loyalty and loyalty, and he alone controls hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Lantian camp. It can be said to be one of the most powerful families in the Zhou Dynasty.As long as the He family releases the news that they want to see their daughter-in-law, no one knows how many noble girls are rushing to be the daughter-in-law of the He family, even the empresses in the palace will be alarmed.If He Cheng, the eldest son of He, hadn't been caught by the royal family quickly and married a princess, other powerful families in Beijing would not have given up on it.And after He Cheng, they have been staring at He Xin, the second son of the He family, but it is a pity that even his elder brother He Cheng has two children, but the marriage of the second son of the He family has never been the slightest bit. audio.Many families had no choice but to marry their daughters to others, but more families still coveted the congratulatory letter.

However, there are so many high-ranking ladies and ladies who don't look into Zhao Guogong's eyes, and now Zhao Guogong wants to marry a barbarian girl from the southwest as his wife for his second son! ?This can't help but everyone is talking about it!

That's right!This Tongzhi of the Sipintai Hospital is Dangan, the head of the Miao nationality who led the people to make great contributions to the eradication and arrest of the Seven Nations Allied Forces, and the Southwestern Yi girl is Xin Youduo.

Although Dangan is the leader of hundreds of ethnic groups in the southwest, he would not sacrifice his daughter's life for the sake of harmony between the Yi people and the Zhou people.He also did not "give in" because of He Qi's illustrious reputation. Instead, he seriously investigated and observed the details of the He family. .And after many investigations, Dangan discovered that He Xin, a young man with a simple and upright nature, valuing filial piety, diligence, and patriotism, is really a good young man, worthy of his daughter's lifelong entrustment, so he let go of He Qi.

Xin Youduo grew up in the mountains in the southwest and was used to running and playing in the mountains. Even though she entered the Tiance Mansion later, she was protected by a group of military masters and mistresses from the Tiance Mansion, and her temperament was still very innocent.As a father, Dangan must plan well for this daughter.In addition, very few outsiders are not afraid of their daughter's "little pets" ─ ─ cute little Guta, little base snake, little scorpion, little centipede and little spider. Long Jia's son-in-law.

There are thousands of insects and hundreds of Gus in the world, even if there are thousands of silks and feet, but which one has a vicious heart?Everyone in the world is afraid of their barbarian Gu worms, but they are the most poisonous in people's hearts. This is the reason why they have lived in the southwest mountains for a long time.

But no matter how much public opinions are out there, Zhao Guogong's mansion still followed the rules in an orderly manner, and hired three letters and six ceremonies to the Imperial Hospital and the magistrate.

The emperor who heard about this was first stunned, then overjoyed.

He was thinking about how to make the barbarians more integrated into the Great Zhou, when this opportunity came.

Therefore, the emperor decreed that Xin Youduo should be made the princess of Yongping, and a letter of congratulations from the fourth-rank general Xizhong Lang on marriage.Under his enthusiastic intervention, the speed of the marriage between the two families has been greatly accelerated. In just half a year, a series of steps such as accepting Cai, asking for names, accepting auspices, accepting enlistments, and asking for a date have been completed, and the day of welcoming them directly came.

On the day of the wedding, all the generals of the military came together.

As early as fighting against foreign devils... no, it should be as early as during the snoring of Han Xie, they more or less felt He Xin's "bad intentions" towards Xin Youduo.And when he was fighting against the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations, everyone knew what the idiot He Xin was thinking!The dignified generals of the Lantian Camp went to Tiance Military Medical Camp to report every day, helped Xin Youduo, and competed with others from time to time, intentionally got a little injury, and went to Xin Youduo's place to heal his injuries. It's not obvious! ?

Fortunately, Xin Youduo is a daughter of the Miao family, with a simple mind, she was simply deceived by He Xin, and many military ladies of the Tiance Mansion who watched her grow up hated her teeth.
