[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Shen Yue went back to his own yard, and told Shuang'an: "Go to Lin's house to see, what happened during the military chaos just now? Did any rebels rush into the mansion, and did you suffer any losses?" Then he sat down at the table and thought about it. .

What happened at the palace banquet is obviously a live version of Prince Yizhong's bad deeds in the original book.Since he was not at the scene, Shen Yue couldn't figure out how to become the Supreme Emperor after today.As for who will be the current emperor, in Shen Yue's view, there is no suspense, it is nothing more than the most unlikely one.

But in the original book, why did the new emperor Lin Ruhai have such a big opinion on Lin Ruhai, and why Lin Ruhai became a victim of the game between the Supreme Emperor and the present, Shen Yue couldn't figure it out.

Shen Yue secretly hoped that in this life, Lin Ruhai could really be blessed by misfortune, as Xue Xueshi Shen said, so that Daiyu could live a safe life with both parents - no matter how colorful the Grand View Garden is in the original book, it is just a Utopia-like existence, which cannot be overcome Realistic wind and rain.What's more, even in such a utopian existence, Daiyu doesn't have everything going well, so she doesn't want to go.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue couldn't help but think of that virtuous concubine with great fortune. I wonder if she can be concubine again in this life. If she is not conferred, then the Grand View Garden doesn't even need to be built, wouldn't it be better?

"Oh," Shen Yue knocked on his head, and called out: "Shuangyue." Shuangyue came in when she heard the sound, and saw that Shen Yue had already taken out a pen and paper, and she automatically sharpened the ink for him without asking. Come.After the ink was finished, Shen Yuezao started to write a letter in a hurry.

No matter how fast Shen Yue wrote the letter, it couldn't keep up with the speed with which Beijing was closed.Although the second day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were not many people who set off cannons in the whole of Beijing.The four gates of the outer city were even more tightly closed, but Jin Yiwei and the guard battalion worked together on missions to arrest those who conspired with the First Prince.Except for soldiers in armor going back and forth on the street, there are few pedestrians.

Even if the letter could not be delivered, Shen Yue had no choice but to let go of his thoughts and focus on following the news about Shen Shangshu and Shen Xin—after what happened the day before, Shen Xin felt that Shen Chao and Shen Yue were still useful, After talking about the performance of the two of them, they have a place in the study.

There has been no news from the palace, and the celebration of the first day of the new year that was supposed to be held was also notified to be cancelled. It was only heard that the residences of the third and fifth princes were also besieged by soldiers.Shen Chao was thinking about the seventh prince, and when Shen Shangshu said that he had nothing to do with the sixth prince, he didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Yue was a little curious about the princes: "Why have you never heard of the fourth prince?"

Shen Shangshu glanced at him, motioned to Shen Xin for him to explain to Shen Yue.Only then did Shen Yue know that the fourth prince's birth mother was of a low status, and he was born with six fingers, so let alone doting, it is already a great fortune to be able to grow up.This fourth prince has always had low self-esteem, except that he rarely appeared in front of people at palace banquets, and he didn't receive any errands.

No wonder the third prince and the fifth prince joined hands.Hearing Shen Shangshu's cryptic mention of several palace banquets, Shen Yue became more confident about who the next emperor would be.The Shen family has always shown others as pure ministers, now that the next emperor has been determined, there is no need to rush to show any loyalty at this time, so as not to fall behind.

It's just that Xueshi Shen angrily reprimanded the eldest prince in public. In the eyes of others, he is loyal to the present and can protect the prosperity of the Shen family for decades. In Shen Yue's opinion, it is more difficult for Shen Ren to return to Beijing.Maybe if you want to meet again, you have to wait for Xueshi Shen or Mrs. Shen...

Shen Yue would not bring up such a rebellious idea, so he pulled Shen Chao to sit a little farther away, and asked him softly: "Could it be that you just keep reading with the Seventh Prince and don't take part in the imperial examination?" No matter who is the next Emperors, as the eldest prince said, will grant Enke upon ascension to the throne. Whether Shen Chao will take the exam or not, he must have a plan.

Shen Chao also thought about this question himself: "What's the hurry, I'm only old now, even if I take part in the imperial examination, I'm still in the middle of nowhere. It's better to still study in the study room." After thinking about it, he said: "But if we go again, the study room requires It's quieter."

The upper study room is a place for the sons and grandsons of the dragon to study. Today, no crown prince has been established, and the adult princes have not been crowned kings. All the children of the prince's family go to the study room without discrimination.However, the prince's accompanying reading is two more than the emperor's grandchildren's accompanying reading to show the difference of superiority and inferiority.Among them are the eldest prince, the third prince, and the grandchildren of the fifth prince's family. Now that the three houses are under siege, if it is dealt with today, I don't know how many grandchildren will still be able to study in the study.

Seeing that Shen Yue nodded to show that he understood, Shen Chao smiled and said: "That's fine, others are fine, the two of the eldest prince's family have always looked down on anyone, and the companions are also very angry." After finishing speaking, Gu Zi shaking his head.

Shen Shangshu also listened to the conversation between the two grandsons, and said to Shen Chao: "Talking about what people do behind their backs, you just have to read your book."

Shen Chao stuck out his tongue at Shen Yue, and stopped talking about this topic.After a while, seeing that Shen Shangshu had nothing else to say, he said to Shen Yue: "The seventh prince praised and praised the portrait you drew for me last time, but it's a pity that he can't get out of the palace, or he said he wanted to ask you to draw one."

After hearing this, Shen Yue hurriedly said: "Now the grandfather is punishing me for this, so don't make trouble for me."

Both Shen Shangshu and Shen Xin knew that this punishment was requested by Shen Yue himself, but Shen Chao didn't know: "What is this? Did that Yang Jia make a fuss? My grandfather is afraid that you will become famous for your paintings again, and some people will say you go away." Didn't the right way ruin the reputation?"

Hearing Yang Jia suddenly mentioned, Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat.It is said that Yang Sen and Shen Ren have torn their faces after telling the story of Fang Shi and Daiyu.The Yang family was on the side of the first prince, and now that the first prince is dead, the Yang Sen family should not be left alone.Shen Yue didn't care about the life and death of others in the Yang family, and there was a Yang Yi in the family who would definitely be implicated, which made Shen Ren feel a little uncomfortable.

Shen Chao couldn't hear his answer, and saw that he was not in the right place, thought he was uncomfortable, and tried to persuade him: "Didn't it mean that all the people in the Imperial College asked for your portrait? It can be seen that a good painting is not a bad thing, and it is also one of the six arts of a gentleman. Yes, why do you care what other people say?"

Shen Yue collected his thoughts and nodded to Shen Chao - at first he had a good relationship with Yang Yi because Yang Yi's temperament was somewhat similar to Shen Chao's, so Shen Yue had a good impression of him.It's useless to think too much now, I can only hope that although Yang Sen is in the first prince's team, but now he can't blame his wife, or bring the Yang family to Beijing, then he might be able to help Yang Yi.

In the evening, news came one after another that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and the right servant of the Ministry of Officials were Yang Jia's home, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, the Deputy Commander of the Guard Battalion, and others were ransacked within a day. The Ministry of Punishment and the Shuntian Mansion couldn't fit in the prison, so they had to detain the female relatives of these families in each house, and they were not allowed to move around or visit them.

This result is not surprising. Except for the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the deputy commander of the guard battalion, the rest of the big princes who stand in line are all on the bright side, but I don’t know if there are any people who have been exposed in the dark. These people can return after this battle. Dare to think otherwise.In the original works that Shen Yue had read, there was Qin Ye, a repairman from the Ministry of Industry, who was still alive and well until Daiyu entered the Rongguo Mansion.

Counting the time, Qin Keqing has already married into the Ningguo Mansion, right?Shen Yue felt that if Qin Keqing married into the Ningguo Mansion while the eldest prince was still there, even if Qin Keqing's birth mother's status was not honorable, the identity of the eldest prince would make people ignore the fact that he was a disciple. There should be quite a few people related to the prince, why did Jia Yuanchun become the capital of the whistleblower?

Shen Yue didn't know, because Lin Ruhai's few secret documents made the eldest prince jump over the wall in a hurry, and his actions were much less secretive than the original book. If it wasn't for the last little eunuch who poisoned today's wine glass, it would be even more so now. He was so angry that even the third and fifth princes were not lenient in dealing with them.In this way, many things that can be called secrets in the original book have been revealed to the public in this life, and many things can no longer be guessed according to the original book.

When the next day was the day when the married woman returned to her mother's house, Liu Shi started it again, and Shen Yue had to feel that the child in her stomach was calm - when Fang Shi gave birth to a brother, he just listened to it. Frightened after a few threatening words, Mrs. Liu survived the swordsmanship of the previous two days.

In this way, Mrs. Shen couldn't go back to her natal family. Fortunately, her parents had passed away, and her natal family only had her brother and sister-in-law, so she just sent a letter there.Shen Yue went to Fang's house instead, as a New Year's greeting to Fang's family.

His grandfather was also a person who attended the palace banquet, so he naturally knew that it is not appropriate to move around at this time. After meeting Shen Yue in person, he encouraged him a few words and let him go back. He also told him to be cautious in his words and deeds these days, not to go out too much walk around.Even Fang Fang Si and Fang Fang Ming, who are familiar with Shen Yue, did not go back to their natal family, which shows how cautious people in Beijing are.

Shen Yue, who originally wanted to go to the old house of the Lin family, gave up his past thoughts and asked Shuangquan to hand over the letter he wrote to Butler Lin, and then let him come to the scholar's mansion for business and that's it.

So when everyone is waiting for the sage to deal with the eldest prince's last boot, and no one is in the mood to visit relatives and friends, it is not surprising that Shen Yue received a post from Jia Lian asking him to a banquet, then it is strange: " Who sent it? Is he still there?" He asked Shuang'an.

The last time Shuang'an went to Rongguo Mansion with Shen Yue, he also met this Second Master Lian: "It was sent by Second Master Jia's servant. The door says that he is waiting for your son's reply in the concierge."

"Tell him to come in and answer." Shen Yue continued to look at the red post in front of him, and said at the same time: the words on the post are mediocre at best, the writing is weak and unrefined, and the structure is even more unreadable.Maybe it was Jia Lian's own handwriting, Shen Yue became more and more curious about Jia Lian's invitation to himself at this time.

"Please be safe, sir." As soon as Wang'er entered the study, he saw that the left and right walls were covered with bookshelves, and the books on them were densely arranged. There was a big desk on the ground, and the only thing on the desk was a pen holder more than a foot high, and it was full of books. There is a pen, and the pen in the pen holder next to it is even more evenly aligned to the sky.It's strange that this little son was selected as a scholar at the age of nine, so it doesn't make sense to see that the study is not selected.

Thinking of this in her heart, Wang'er didn't dare to respectfully wait for Shen Yue's orders like she smiled at her master when she was in Rongguo Mansion.After Shen Yue looked at this servant who was somewhat conscientious and refused to kill anyone: "What's the situation in Beijing now, your second master really wants to treat you."

Wang'er put on a smile on his face: "Our second master said that we should invite young master to drink New Year's wine in the mansion, but the current situation also knows that young master knows that no one dares to serve wine, so we invite young master to have a gathering outside .”

Please yourself?Shen Yue fixed his eyes on Wang'er, but he was looking down and couldn't see it, so he could only say: "Go back to your second master, I appreciate it. The elders don't ask you to go out these few days, and I will wait until the situation eases." invite him."

Wang'er heard that Shen Yue didn't want to go, so she knelt down as soon as she got short: "I beg you to take pity on the little one, my second master said that if you don't come, it must be because I can't speak and I have annoyed you. Hit me."

After hearing this, Shuang'an took a sip: "What a naughty slave, who hasn't done his own business, your second master will invite our young master to get it? Besides, who didn't send the invitation here early? You're the one What, let our son have pity on you!"

When he just spoke, Shen Yue didn't stop him, and when he finished speaking, Shen Yue cursed with a sullen face: "I want you to talk more." Not only Shuang'an said, but even Wang'er, who was kneeling on the ground, blushed—this was a temporary experience. It's really not polite to treat guests just after posting.

Turning around, Shen Yue still asked Wang'er: "You really don't know why your second master invited me? If it's the same as just now, you don't have to say it."

One sentence made Wang'er stutter: "After the palace banquet that day, our master fell ill when he returned home, and the second master couldn't find a place to inquire about the news in the past few days, just thinking, thinking... ..."

Needless to say, Shen Yue asked curiously: "Is your master sick? Is it General Jia or Jia Yuanwailang?" Anyway, the names in your house are also a mystery, and Shen Yue is not afraid to make them even more confused.

"Ah? Oh, it's my master who attacked a first-class general." Wang'er raised his head when he heard the question, and saw Shen Yue looking at him with a puzzled face, then lowered his head again, thinking that he should remind him when he went back Look at the second master, the people outside really don't even know who is the rightful owner of Rongguo Mansion.

Shen Yue really didn't expect Jia Amnesty to be ill.Did this one also stand in line, or was he frightened by thinking of Qin Keqing because of the eldest prince?If it's for the latter, then Jia Amnesty's political sensitivity is not low, and he shouldn't be the fainted person in the original book!

"Go and report to the master, just say that I want to go out." Shen Yue thought for a while, and let Shuang An report.Wang'er had already given up hope, but Shen Yue agreed to go to the banquet again. She was overjoyed, and without Shen Yue calling, she stood up by herself and asked Shuang'an to give him a glare when she went out.

Shen Yue pretended not to see Wang'er getting up, and repeated his words sentence by sentence. Before Shuang'an came back, he already knew that people in Rongguo Mansion were in panic these few days: Jia Amnesty is qualified to attend the palace banquet, but the seats are not lined up. It was too far back, so the soldiers were not so polite to him, and there was a knife scratch on his neck when he returned home.

It was this scratch that made Jia Amnesty go back directly to the East Courtyard, and instead of reporting to Mother Jia what happened at the palace banquet, he sent someone to invite the imperial physician.But there are so many people who were surprised at the palace banquet, they are more than empty-handed. The powerful people in Rongguo Mansion don't know how many people there are. The courtyard scolded the servants for not doing their best, and someone wanted to take the opportunity to put him to death as a grand master who attacked the noble.

When he scolded like this, even Mother Jia couldn't ask him to go to Rongqing Hall to discuss matters. Only Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, who were not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, were asking around like chickens without heads.

The officials who were escorted out of the palace by Jin Yiwei first let the second prince beat them once, and then they were frightened by the successive house raids today. Who would dare to talk about the palace banquet in detail?So after a few days of busy work, the Rong and Ning mansions couldn't find out any news.

At this time, Mother Jia thought of Shen Yuelai, who was carrying things for her family, and wanted to let him go to the house, and finally she was a little shrewd, knowing that the Shen family was not someone she could come and go as soon as she called, so she did it. They sent Jia Lian who entertained Shen Yue last time, thinking about how old Shen Yue was, it was easy to get some words out of his mouth.

This can be regarded as rushing to the doctor in a hurry, Shen Yue sneered in his heart, and asked in an unobtrusive manner: "Your grandma and natal master have made great contributions this time, why didn't you disclose any news?"

Speaking of this, Wang'er's face changed again: "It is said that uncle has lived in the camp since the palace banquet, and has not even returned to the mansion. Uncle and wife are also confused."

It seems that Wang Ziteng's appointment as the governor of the Beijing camp has been settled, Shen Yue nodded: "Your uncle is a cautious person." Otherwise, he would give some news to the Rongguo Mansion.

Just as he was talking, Shuang'an had already returned: "Master Hui, the master said that he understands that you are not allowed to drink outside, you are not allowed to return late, and you have to take more people out."

Shen Yuezao stood up and listened to Shen Shangshu's explanation, and said "change clothes" to Shuang'an, and there was nothing else.Seeing that Wang'er was still standing still, Shuang'an stretched out his hand to him: "Brother, please go out and wait for a while." Why is he so blank.

Wang'er responded hastily, and walked out the door by herself, patting her chest twice with her hand.Although Shen Yue didn't see him going out, he still said to Shuang'an: "Be more polite."

Shuang'an bowed his head without answering, and helped Shen Yue change his clothes for going out.Now that the situation in the capital is unclear, Shen Yue refused to wear fancy clothes, and only wore a straight gown with light ocher embroidery and a dark blue fox fur cloak before going out.

The people who followed had already received the letter and waited for a long time after pulling the cart at the side door. Wanger saw a dozen or so healthy servants surrounding him, and she only followed behind. Shuang'an asked, "But Jinzhixuan?" Only then did Wanger come back to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes." After everyone heard this sound, a coachman had already whipped the horse, and they went out like the wind.

Jinzhixuan is on the edge of the west city. It is a three-storey tea house. The house also brought Shen Yue here. The waiter at the door saw a visitor, and his eyebrows were crooked with a smile: "Young master is here, today is the day." One son, the son is very elegant."

Isn't it very elegant?In this way, everyone goes out on a day when everyone is hiding at home.Shuang'an raised his chin to Wang'er: "Is Second Master Jia from Rongguo Mansion here?"

Xiaoer nodded quickly when he heard this: "I've been here for a while, do you dare to have an appointment with the young master? Please come to the private room on the second floor, young master." After speaking, he put the handkerchief on his shoulder, and turned sideways to lead Shen Yue.

There were fewer people following upstairs, and when they reached the door of Jia Lian's room, Xiaoer sang loudly: "Mr. Shen is here." He raised the curtain with his hand to invite Shen Yue to enter.Shuang An followed him in, and seeing that Jia Lian was really the only one in the room, he silently slapped Jia Lian, and then retreated silently, making Jia Lian give Wang'er a hard look.

Knowing the situation, Wang Er came out with Xiao Er herself: "Hurry up and bring the tea ordered by our second master." After finishing speaking, he did not enter the room, and smiled and said to Shuang'an: "The next door is also ordered by our second master. Brothers, let's moisten our throats together?"

Here he and Shuang'an are polite, and Jia Lian in the room is also smiling at Shen Yue: "I said earlier that I would invite Brother Shen, but I didn't have time until today."

Shen Yue also smiled slightly: "Second Master Jia is too polite, the elders in the family don't allow me to go out more, so I can't get close to Second Master Jia." We are not familiar, and my adults don't want us to be familiar with each other, you know?

Jia Lian is indeed a person who is prone to change, and smiled as if he didn't understand what Shen Yue said: "We are relatives, so it doesn't matter if we move around more. But brother Shen's family rules are strict, and we should be more cautious now." Said After that, Shen Yue was invited to take a seat, and ordered tea for him personally.

Shen Yue picked up the tea leisurely, put it under his nose and sniffed it first, then took a sip, and praised: "Good tea." He didn't say anything.For a while, Xiao Er came in with various refreshments, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Jia Lian looked at Shen Yue's expression and saw that he only glanced at the refreshments that came up, neither surprised nor costly, in his heart he took a look at Shen Yue, and thought that some of them were close to Zhixuan's famous ones. Dim Sum pushed in front of Shen Yue: "It's said that the refreshments are worth seeing, Brother Shen, try it."

Shen Yue smiled again, and told Jia Lian that he would concentrate on tasting the desserts, as if Jia Lian really only wanted to invite him to drink tea, so he also concentrated on tasting tea.Before the tea was offered three times, Jia Lian couldn't sit still, and asked tentatively, "The old man and the master in the house, are you surprised when you come back from the palace banquet?"

"Oh, ah," Shen Yue seemed to have just turned his mind back from the dim sum, and put down the dim sum he just took a bite of in his hand: "With the Son of Heaven in the hall, the demons and monsters will naturally retreat. Although great-grandfather and grandfather were slightly frightened, Fortunately, it will be fine to go back to the house for recuperation."

After speaking, he seemed to remember, and asked Jia Lian, "I heard that General Jia was frightened, but it's not quiet in Beijing, and it's not easy for me to visit at home. I wonder if General Jia is now?"

Jia Lian was waiting for his words: "That's right, this matter happened one after another, and there was no time to stop. I finally invited the imperial doctor the day before yesterday, and said that I still have to rest for two days."

Shen Yue expressed his annoyance to him again, and asked: "Supposedly there is also a familiar imperial doctor in the mansion, why did he not come here until the day before yesterday? General Jia also has an elderly person, so it might not be good to delay like this."

Jia Lian unexpectedly thought of Jia She's scolding words during his illness, and felt a little uncomfortable, and he gave a false answer, and then asked Shen Yue: "I heard that the saint also vomited blood that day, I don't know..."

Shen Yue yelled softly: "Second Master Lian!" As if he was a little embarrassed to call out because of his impatience, he glanced at the door curtain and whispered: "This matter cannot be discussed."

Can't discuss what kind of tea should I treat you to?An annoyed look appeared on Jia Lian's face: "It's not that I want to inquire about the Tian family's affairs. It's because our master was really scared this time. The imperial doctor also said that heart disease needs heart medicine. For the sake of the master's body, I will do everything else." I can't care less."

Shen Yue seemed to be moved by his filial piety, and said with some emotion: "Second Master Lian's filial piety is touching." He also glanced at the door curtain, saw Jia Lian nodding slightly to him, and lowered his voice: "Who knows? It's not unnerving for others to think about their own things, not to mention the flesh and blood of your own family, isn't it even more chilling?"
