[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

Linlin looked at the piece of jade, and then at the emperor.

If my memory is correct, this piece of jade should be one of the colorful stones used by the legendary Nuwa Empress to mend the sky.

"I remember how many words were engraved on it?"

"It's engraved, let General Xiao Guo use the official seal to wear it off."

"General Xiao Guo sent someone to take this piece of jade away and didn't ask how my cousin is doing now?"

"Okay, it's the same as usual. So I feel that he definitely didn't bring it from the mother's womb. If it was really brought from the mother's womb, your cousin will be injured if this piece of jade is in our hands, but you see Look at him alive and kicking now."

Linlin was always worried, so she took the jade off Xiezhi's body and stuffed it back into the emperor's hand.

"No, no, we don't want it, maybe he really brought it from the mother's womb, maybe it's full of gods and Buddhas watching at this time."

The emperor felt baffled, "This is not like you. You don't believe this."

Putting the jade into Linlin's hand again, "Did you hear that last time there were demon monks and demon priests praying with this thing, and it cured your cousin's illness. Don't worry, Xiao Guo stared at it. As for them, as long as these two dare to enter the capital, they will be decapitated immediately."

Linlin held the piece of jade in her hand with some trepidation, wondering if someone like herself who escaped from Meng Potang would be discovered?

But when I thought about it later, my mother was an atheist in her two lifetimes.Even if there is a god, he can't control the old lady.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Linlin recalled that she had never killed, killed, or robbed anyone in her two lifetimes.

As for when she first entered the palace, Gui Tai wasted the lives of those bastards... Amitabha, if it is really a liquidation, let's wait until the next life to talk about it.

So I put this piece of kodama in the box, planning to make it out of sight.

Yan Yu returned to the capital from Jiangnan, and in half a month, he will marry Princess Shouchun.

After returning, he and the emperor talked for a long time in the imperial study, but no one knew what they said.

As long as Linlin confirms that Qilin is safe in Jiangnan, she doesn't care about other things.She is not very interested in government affairs, nor is she particularly obsessed with power.

So the husband and wife are in peace.

Linlin is about to give birth at this time, and other than Princess Shouchun's wedding, what she has to worry about now is Lin Daiyu's affairs.

Speaking of Lin Daiyu's matter, it's not Linlin's turn to worry about it.Even if it is the eldest son of Dong'an County King, Linlin has never heard of it, let alone seen it, so she is a little worried.

After Linlin mentioned this person to Jia Min, Jia Min went back to discuss with Lin Ruhai and his wife.

Lin Ruhai, Lin Hao, and Lin Jiao's father and son paid special attention to this son Mu Cistan.

At present, the Lin family is quietly watching the boy for various investigations.Beiwang Mansion still gave away things with great fanfare.As for how this matter will end up in the end—Linlin expressed that she has a headache and doesn't want to think about it.

Concubine Dong Gui came here every day, even though she was in a hurry every day, Concubine Dong Gui had a happy smile on her face.

Finally in early June, it was time for Princess Shouchun to get married.

Princess Shouchun was the emperor's first child and the first child to marry.The emperor was very concerned about this matter.

As soon as Linlin was confinement, the emperor came over, and at night in front of Linlin, he insisted on recalling how cute and sweet Princess Shouchun was when she was a child...

Linlin thought that this was not born by me, and I don't know if I was chubby when I was young.

The two of them were in the bright yellow tent, and two lamps were lit by the bedside. At this time, there was no one around, and Linlin could only pull herself together and listen to him reminiscing about the past.

"... At that time, she was a small ball, and I was still thinking why she wasn't a kid. If it was a boy, I would be considered to have a child..."

After he finished speaking, he sighed, stretched out his arms to hold Linlin's head, and kissed her on the forehead.Said to Linlin in a very proud tone, "Fortunately, you are up to date."

Linlin slapped his hand away, thinking that the old lady owed so much, because your words completely wiped out everything.

I wanted to start talking to him, but I heard the emperor was planning what to do with Qilin's marriage in the future.

"Qilin is my eldest son and also our prince. Although he is still a little young now, it is time to pay attention to the candidate for the crown princess. In the future, you will send a message to those imperial orders and ask them to bring the ones at home. Girls come to greet you."

It's about Qilin, so Linlin decided not to talk back to him at this time, "Do you have a clue in your heart? You have to give me a range so that I can choose a suitable one among these few families."

The emperor was a little worried, "I don't know what to do in my heart. You should read it first, and then we can discuss it after you have read it. Usually, when choosing concubines for princes, we always look at their family background first and then their character. Let's do the opposite at this time." As a matter of fact, first look at character and then family background.

There are little girls you like, please pay attention first, I will send someone to touch the bottom of their house. "

As soon as these words were finished, the husband and wife sighed at the same time.

The two of them leaned on the head of the bed, and Linlin touched her face unconfidently, "I'm going to be a mother-in-law in a few years, time flies so fast. I just gave birth to a little guy, I'm still young..."

When the emperor heard this, he just squinted at Linlin. "Satisfy you, don't look at you, you are almost 30 now, you send someone out to find out, who's 30-year-old principal can still have children, and I will pamper you."

There is no way to talk to such a person, Linlin told herself silently in her heart, this person in front of her is a super old antique, compared with the things she has accepted, there is a gap of thousands of years.Don't compare with him...

Seeing that Linlin didn't speak, the emperor stretched out an arm to wrap her around her, "I don't ask you to be grateful to Dade, you should give me a smile anyway. What's the matter? It couldn't be Zou Wu who made you angry again." Bar."

"It's nothing to do with him. Don't blame him for everything. I'm angry with you."

"Let's talk about it, what did I do wrong, which made the lady angry." While talking glibly, the whole person came over.Before Linlin could speak, her mouth was blocked.

When it was still dark the next morning, Linlin woke the emperor up with a push.

"You should go to court in a while. I can't sleep for a while. Let's have a good chat."

The emperor opened one eyelid in a daze, looked at Linlin, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you ask me yesterday what made me angry?"

A certain person who was glib yesterday turned over indifferently this morning, with his back to Linlin. "Still angry... Keep angry, I will ask you when I come back at night."

who! ! !

After about half an hour, someone outside asked in a low voice if the emperor and empress were awake?

Linlin had already slept very comfortably during her confinement period, but she couldn't sleep for a few days after her confinement period.Hearing the urging from the eunuch outside, he kicked the emperor under the bed.

"It's time to go up, get up quickly."

I thought in my heart that even if you are the Ninth Five-Year Master, in fact, like the social animals of later generations, you have to get up at some point.

The emperor got up reluctantly, adjusted his belt before leaving, sat on the edge of the bed and said to Linlin who was lying under the quilt, "You see, why are you angry when you live like this, my husband is a wife before going out It’s all arranged for the husband and sent people out, and you can look at you—lazy lady.”

Linlin pulled the quilt over her head to cover her own head, "The concubine sends the emperor off with respect."

The emperor slapped the quilt directly, stood up and left, and met Bai Ze and Zou Wu who got up for a morning run at the door.

The two brothers were about to run to the Empress Dowager Xi to ask Ann before running back.

The three father and son met, and after speaking a few words briefly, the emperor went to the front court, and the two brothers went to the Empress Dowager to pay her respects.

The Empress Dowager also woke up very early, and Princess Shouchun's wedding will be in a few days, and the Empress Dowager is more concerned about this matter.

Even if the two grandsons came to the front, they just pulled the two brothers and said a few words before letting them go back. When they left, they asked their brothers to bring a message to the queen, "Just say what I said, if your mother is not busy, Come here first, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go through what happened that day."

The Empress Dowager said so, how could Linlin dare to go back to sleep, she found someone to pack up her clothes, dressed herself up, hugged her youngest son, and went to the Empress Dowager together.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started from the general aspect, "The guard of honor, the order of the wife, and the dowry are all ready."

After finishing speaking, he handed the dowry list to the Queen Mother, "Look at this, after reading it today, let them send it to the Princess Mansion tomorrow."

A court lady took it over and read it to the Queen Mother one by one.The Empress Dowager Xi had read this dowry list a few days ago, and it was just in case to read it again today.

The dowry matter was handled very quickly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the guard of honor.

Linlin took out another list, "According to the princess's guard of honor, here are some ritual utensils that will be used above, please go through it again."

On this aspect, the Empress Dowager Xi didn't quite understand it, and she just listened to the maids around her read it.Even if she was asked to pick mistakes, she couldn't pick out what was right and what was wrong.

Then I talked about some married women and noble girls who accompanied me.

"As the old saying goes, 'Aunts don't marry aunts, don't send them off'. The old aunts in our family can't follow the sedan chair from the palace to the princess's mansion, so all the ones who are married are ordered by foreign surnames."

He took out another booklet from his hand, "You may know all the people on this book, they are all of high moral character or have both sons and daughters. They are all blessed, and their zodiac signs and ages have nothing to do with our princess. I will read these few people and listen to them to see if they are suitable."

I read these people again, Linlin's memory is relatively good, and the notes she made are relatively complete, and she checked all the eight married women's natal families.

The Empress Dowager was even less familiar with this, so she just nodded, "It's up to you to decide, it's all right, I think it's all right."

After talking about the married woman, let's talk about the noble ladies who accompany me.Linlin put Lin Daiyu's name first, "My sister takes one of the remaining eight girls..."

The Empress Dowager Xi had a good impression of Lin Daiyu, "Your sister is very appropriate, and I like her gentle and gentle temper. If I still have a young son, I will definitely hire your sister as my daughter-in-law."

After saying this, everyone in the room laughed.Linlin also squinted her eyes and laughed for a while. After explaining all these things clearly, there was nothing to be picky about in the general direction.

The two called Concubine Dong Gui over, because Concubine Dong Gui was responsible for all the small details.

From the wedding dress to the purse that was given to the Yan family after the bride went, there were all kinds of unexpected things, and they talked about it all morning.

The three people's mouths were dry, and it was finally smoothed out.

The Empress Dowager Xi sat all morning, only feeling dizzy, and waved her hand to let the Empress and Concubine Dong Gui go back.

"You guys should go back and rest too. The maintenance has been taken care of these few days, and when the time comes, cheer up. Our princess will only do this once in her life. Your elders should love her more."

Concubine Dong Gui was very emotional, she was about to shed tears, she stood up quickly, and thanked the Queen Mother and Queen.

After Dong Guifei left, the Empress Dowager Xi said to Linlin, "She is also a hard-working person."

Marriage, the word has two interpretations.

There is a saying that a woman agrees to get married only when she is in a daze.There is another saying that a ceremony held at dusk, with the participation of women, is called marriage.

However, Linlin agreed with the first statement in her previous life, and she agrees with the second statement in this life.

Lin Daiyu came to the palace early in the morning, and first went to the Queen's Palace to pay her respects.

Linlin looked her younger sister up and down, and saw that although she was dressed up happily, her current attire was well proportioned and did not steal the bride's limelight.

Just leave my sister by my side and let her have breakfast.

During the meal, I also said to my sister, "Although many people came to the Yan family, they have never seen the big world. When they meet, they will definitely not dare to speak or move. You don't need to worry about other things, you just need to be with me. It's enough for the princess to talk. If someone looks down on the Yan family, you can just scold them."

Lin Daiyu agreed, "The Yan family are serious relatives of the royal family, no one would dare to despise them."

Linlin just smiled and glanced at her sister, wanting to tell her, silly girl, you are still too young, according to the folk saying, all the concubines in the palace are concubines, and the concubines' natal families are not relatives.But how many people regard themselves as relatives of the emperor, do you want to say that these people don't understand etiquette?They know better than anyone else!

The two sisters were eating when Zou Wu ran in from outside.Wearing a small red robe, with a golden ring around her head, she was dressed in a rich and festive manner.

"Mother and aunt, you are all here... Mother, where is Xiezhi? Quickly let Xiezhi go out with me to Sister Shouchun's place. I heard people say that when the brother-in-law comes, he must give something to the brother-in-law. Bribe, otherwise we Don't make room for him. Take my brother there too, and ask my brother-in-law to give him a big red envelope."

Speaking of this, Linlin not only sympathized with the Yan family.How can it be easy to be in-laws with the emperor.

At the beginning, it was aimed at the Lin family's millions of money, and the money spent when marrying her was like running water.Not to mention that the Yan family is marrying a daughter-in-law now.

Just from this marriage, it can be seen that the son-in-law is not a vain person.

Their family put all their efforts into organizing this marriage, and they didn't refuse all of them if others offered to help.They came to help pull a table and set up a chair, and the whole family was very grateful.If someone gave gold and silver to build a relationship, this family would not dare to accept it.

Since the marriage between Yan Yu and the princess was announced to the world, many people defected to their family. These businessmen defected to the rich and powerful with their property, but the Yan family confiscated none of them.

So Linlin has already thought of it, even if it is a big red envelope that reaches the sky, it is only eight or nine copper coins.

"You go, don't take your brother with you, your brother is still young, you can't go out to see the wind at this time. Wait a while, your aunts will come, and those aunts and aunts outside your palace will also come to see your sister off , I will wait for them in the palace."

Lin Daiyu ate less, put down her chopsticks now, and beckoned to Zou Wu. "His Royal Highness, eat some too. Let's go together later."

Zou Wu was not too polite, so he sat down and wolfed down a bowl and a half of porridge, wiped his mouth, took his aunt's hand, and the two went to Princess Shouchun's bedroom together.

First, those princesses who were married outside the palace came to the palace, first went to the queen to say hello, and these people sat in sedan chairs to talk to Princess Shouchun.

After a while, the princesses outside the palace also came.

All present here are the daughters-in-law of the Cui family. Everyone gathered together, all of them dressed up happily, and they were full of applause when they spoke.

A group of people were saying this, Xiezhi woke up and was crying, the nurse took him out, Linlin hurriedly put the son in her arms and patted her son a few times.

These aunts and aunts praised Xiezhi again.

Seeing the sky at this moment, Linlin seemed to be approaching noon, so she asked the maid beside her if the banquet outside was ready.

Let these concubines go out to eat, Linlin hugged her youngest son and kissed him on the forehead a few times, "Hey, I've wronged you today, let's make do with the wet nurse for a long time, and come back after the mother marry your sister look at you."

As soon as he finished speaking and handed the youngest son to the wet nurse, he heard the palace maid announce from outside that the Second Princess had come in.

"Second sister-in-law is not eating in front, why are you here?"

"I'm just telling you the news I heard. I heard the eunuch of our prince imitating me early this morning, saying that there is something in our uncle's family..."

As soon as Linlin heard what happened, she quickly asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? We're going to get married soon, so there's something wrong with the son-in-law, right?"

"You think too much, it was our eunuch who told me that our son-in-law's house prepares tofu banquets. The meat served with meat dishes is all pork, all of which are fatty slices... I'm afraid that after this marriage is over , the rich and powerful in the city laughed at our girl."

Linlin sighed, and rubbed her temples, "Don't I know that the son-in-law's family is poor, and it's not like I didn't have someone secretly stuff some money into their family, so that they can make this wedding more beautiful. But our son-in-law has a stubborn temper, the money was returned, and he said how much money he had to do so many things... The emperor heard this and praised our son-in-law.

I just said that this person is a bit too pedantic, and the emperor also said that this is not pedantic, it is open-minded, it is free and easy, it is open-minded... I can't help it. "

The second concubine also sighed after hearing this, "Don't think too much about it, it's the best of humanity to do this. The princess was not born by you, and you didn't find this in-law's family for him, even if there are any complaints. It can't fall on you."

Linlin followed suit and nodded, stood up and asked the second concubine to go to the banquet, and she had to go to Princess Shouchun to have a look.

There is also a banquet in Princess Shouchun's bedroom, and all the princesses eat here.

After Linlin arrived, she looked around again, and she casually ate half a bowl of porridge, before being dragged by the person responsible to look at the sedan chair.

When the royal family was almost ready, the Yan family's wedding team also set off.

The welcoming team can only go to the gate of the palace.This has always been the case for princesses of all dynasties, and the princesses were all married at the gate of the palace.

After the guard of honor and the sending-off team set off, Linlin finally breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at the teary-eyed Concubine Dong Gui, she said, "Don't think too much about it, go back."

Afterwards, the princesses said their goodbyes and left the palace in chariots and horses, and Linlin finally rested.

I don't know whether Princess Shouchun's marriage is good or bad. People say that when you get married, you have to be in the same family. Obviously, the son-in-law's family and your own family don't mean that the family is in the same family.

Moreover, the son-in-law's private property is only the 200 mu of land in his hometown.This time they got married, his father and brother paid a lot of money.

The Yan family's tutoring is good, but they are a bit poor after all.

Just as he was thinking, the emperor came in. He drank a lot of wine today and was a little drunk.

When he came over, he saw Linlin leaning on the couch, and he didn't need anyone to help him. He stumbled over and sat next to Linlin, put his arms around Linlin's neck, and kissed her on the face with a straight head.

"It's hard work today, lady."

Linlin stretched out her hand and pushed his head to the side, "You will be able to speak well. I just heard the second sister-in-law say that the son-in-law's house is full of tofu feasts. This is a bit wronged for our children."

The emperor didn't take it seriously, "What do you know, our children are not the ones who hate the poor and love the rich, or you can teach the children, teach our girls to be polite and generous..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I never taught your daughter." I thought you didn't think about Concubine Dong Gui when you said this, but the emperor couldn't remember it, and Linlin wouldn't remind him.

The emperor opened his mouth with a smell of alcohol, "Among these children, my favorite son is Qilin, and my favorite daughter is Shouchun. It's a pity that we are such a good girl, but we are entrusted to Mrs. Dong's belly. If the two had known each other earlier, our girl would have been born in your womb."

Linlin saw that his words were getting more and more out of order, so she got up and supported him, telling him to lie down for a while to sober up.

The emperor was drunk and didn't want to sleep, so he yelled and carried Xiezhi over. Linlin thought that her son had just fallen asleep, and if she carried her over, she would definitely cry.

Just holding the emperor's hand and talking with him, when the couple continued talking without saying a word, the emperor suddenly asked, "How is that girl from the Su family?"

"Which Su family?"

"It's Mr. Taipusi. I heard that he has a girl who can recite poems and make pairs at the age of two..." The voice became softer, and Linlin seemed a little sleepy when she saw his eyelids. Look, quickly took a blanket to cover him.

After going out quietly, he called Qian Sheng over, "The Su family... is the girl from Taipu Siqing Su's family, have you heard of it?"

Qian Sheng nodded quickly, with an expression of admiration on his face, "It is said that girls from this family have been like grown-ups since they were young. They can read and read very quickly, and they are also very filial..."

During Qian Sheng's explanation, Linlin felt that this girl was perfect, and if she was not allowed to be a princess, she would be sorry to the people of the world.

Linlin didn't listen to what he said, but said lightly, "It's hard to live up to the reputation, I pay attention to this person."

Qian Sheng saw that Linlin's expression was not very good, and he didn't dare to continue.

Taking advantage of this time, Linlin went to clean up Xiezhi's personal property.

From the moment this kid was born, a warehouse has been specially arranged for this kid to store his personal property.

On the 9th day of the boy's birth, the relatives of the royal family sent birth gifts, and another gift was given at the full moon.In a word, Xiezhi, who is less than two months old now, is also a rich man.

The catalog of his personal property is as thick as three books.

Linlin took these catalogs and checked them one by one.

Not surprisingly, I saw psychic gems in the category of jade.

Of course, there is no psychic jade written on it, but a "Yingyu" is marked on it, and the size and color are clearly marked.

When the maids put the jade in front of Linlin with trays, Linlin could still see the precious light shining on it.

Then think about the origin of this beautiful jade... I told the big palace lady of Xiezhi, "Take it first, this jade is too small, don't wear it lightly for His Highness, I'm afraid you won't see it and His Highness will accidentally swallow it." .”

Xiezhi's grand lady agreed.Put this jade in a box and press it under the box.

Jia Baoyu, who lost the psychic treasure, did not change much in the first few days, but then he became a little confused.

The specific manifestation is that no matter what you do, you can't cheer up, and sometimes you fall asleep while sitting there.

These behaviors lasted for a long time, and they were discovered by Mrs. Wang and the old lady.

Mrs. Wang never thought that her son's piece of jade was lost. Instead, she felt that her son had too little rest.

I couldn't help but wondered, is it because there is no one guarding the Grand View Garden, so the goblins there are working hard every day?

So I told Zhou Rui's family to go in often.

The servants of the Jia family have always kept things secret. There are some things that the masters don't know, but the servants know very clearly.

Zhou Rui's family wandered around the Grand View Garden for half a month, and she really discovered something very important.

On this day, seeing no one around, Zhou Rui's family walked slowly into Mrs. Wang's yard. They didn't say anything straightforward, but went around in circles and said to Mrs. Wang, "Looking at Xiren's frowning, it doesn't look like a girl. gone."

Mrs. Wang was very surprised when she heard it, and after thinking about it, she quietly told Zhou Rui's family, "You should pay attention to this matter, and don't let these rumors spread and be heard by relatives."

Zhou Rui's family knew in their hearts that it seemed that his wife still hadn't given up on letting Bao girl be Bao's second grandmother.He nodded and agreed, "It's just the attackers in the yard..."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and thought for a while, "Brother, at this age, you don't have to restrain them. Find a chance to use money from my share to subsidize Xiren."

Zhou Rui's family agreed.

Mrs. Wang thought that Baoyu hadn't been energetic in the past few days, and it was probably because these things consumed her energy.

Although I was satisfied with the attackers in my heart, I was a little dissatisfied after all, thinking about finding time to beat them well.

The reason Mrs. Wang didn't do it immediately but wanted to make time was because the Jiangnan Zhen family sent a letter.

The letter said that he planned to buy some farm shops in the north recently, but he didn't find any suitable ones, and it would be troublesome to bring the silver. He first deposited the tens of thousands of taels of silver in Jia's house, and then used them when needed.

In the early years, Jia's family kept their money in Zhen's house.

Speaking of which, why don't you keep your own money in your own home, but in someone else's home... This is a bit ambiguous.

In the early years, the noble concubine was very favored, and the fifth prince at that time was one of the most popular candidates for the heir apparent after Prince Zhong's misfortune, and the Jia family tried their best to curry favor with her.

At that time, there was a lot of giving money to others, but later the mother and son of the noble concubine lost, and they invested a large amount of money without seeing anything in return, and the young and old in the Rongguo Mansion felt a little uncomfortable.

At the beginning, they bribed in the name of depositing silver, but later in the name of taking money, they wanted to get the money back.

The Zhen family seemed to have forgotten the past. When the Grand View Garden was built, the Jia family sent people to collect the money, and they gave it to them happily.

Now people use this trick to put money in their own homes... Mrs. Wang feels a little proud.It seems that feng shui turns, and the truth of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi is not false at all.

Their family also took a fancy to the pride of the imperial concubine and empress in the palace, otherwise they would not have to send money home.

Mrs. Wang accepted the tens of thousands of taels of silver with peace of mind. The money was collected quietly, and most people in the house did not know it.

Wang Xifeng could more or less get a little bit of such news, but it was not accurate enough.

After Jia Lian came back, the two couples sat together to discuss.

"I knew that a sum of money entered our house and was in the hands of my wife, but the ins and outs of this sum of money are not clear."

Jia Lian's temper is also because he wants to get rid of Yinzi when he meets Yinzi.

The husband and wife share the same mind, and Jia Lian explained to Wang Xifeng.

It didn't take long for Wang Xifeng to find out that the money was sent from Jiangnan.

I was a little proud in my heart, "What if my wife keeps it? After all, I still have to take it out and spend it. As long as she dares to make a move, I can get a layer of skin out of it."

So Jia Lian told the emperor about this incident as a recent novelty.

After speaking, I still have some emotions. "The two of us are incomparable. Although our family will be mine in the future, this group of people now eats, drinks, spends and spends in the public. You have earned money to eat and drink at home. It is different after all."

The emperor took a sip of wine with his wine glass, "I advise you not to touch this sum of money, but to let you know a piece of news quietly, the emperor's son-in-law went to the south again after eight or nine days of marriage. Do you know what it is? ?"

Jia Lian had heard the news and shook his head indifferently. "Brother Cui, you are thinking too much. The eldest son-in-law took the princess to the south to worship the ancestors. What do you think their newly married couple are doing in the south?"

Princess Shouchun and Concubine Yan did go south, and worshiping the ancestors of the Yan family is one aspect.On the other hand, it was to assist Bai Gangtou in handling the case.

"The shopkeeper of our family in Jiangnan sent a message last night, saying that someone is investigating the case of Zhen's family. You'd better not accept their things, or the government will come to your house to ask for the money and say it's dirty money. What do I see you do?"

"Impossible, their family has deep roots in the south of the Yangtze River. Those small cases can't bring down their family. Besides, the Supreme Emperor is still alive, how can he watch others bully the Zhen family?"

The emperor was just reminding Jia Lian, so he didn't go on talking about it here.

The two of them drank as usual, and this time the two of them met because the emperor sent a plate of jade and pomegranate to Princess Shouchun as a wedding gift to thank Jia Lian.

So the conversation turned to that plate of jade pomegranate.

"My daughter-in-law looked at it and said that a plate of pomegranate carved out of such a whole block of agate is worth at least 5000 taels of silver."

"The main reason is that the craftsman's mind is ingenious, and the color of this piece of agate is different, making this plate of pomegranates is a natural thing. Speaking of which, the price of agate is not expensive, and the expensive is because of this craftsmanship.

Let me tell you that I can only take out such a good thing once, and it is not certain whether I can encounter it next time. "

The emperor held up the wine cup and toasted Jia Lian, "These gems are naturally hard to come by. I understand. I got a piece of jade for my youngest son last month. That piece of jade is worth some money, but it's a little small. , so it can’t be called priceless. But such a beautiful jade is only a small piece.”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help asking Jia Lian, "How is your cousin Jia Baoyu?"

Jia Lian never thought that the emperor would ask him. "Why do you ask this? It's the same as before."

"I've read a few poems written by him in the past few days, and I think they are very evocative. So I want to ask about them."

Jia Lian put the jug on the table, "I haven't written anything recently, and I just heard that he has not been in a good mood for a while, and he doesn't like to go out and walk around. He nests in the Grand View Garden every day. Maid girl, thinking about being there, I'm already too happy to think about leaving."

The two of them drank another cup and went home.

After Jia Lian came back, he said to Wang Xifeng, "Don't touch the money from Jiangnan. Brother Cui told me that it might be dirty money. Recently, someone is investigating the case of Zhen's family."

Wang Xifeng didn't care, "What are you afraid of, who knows that we got a hand with this money."

"God knows, you know, I know. I told you that it's important to have a son. It's best not to touch money that comes from bad sources."

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian was in a hurry, "Okay, okay, I listen to you, let's not touch the head office."

Seeing that she agreed, Jia Lian felt relieved and sat on the sidelines thinking. "Is it because the Zhen family tree is attracting attention, or has it really been found out that it has done something extraordinary? Otherwise, how can we investigate their house?"

Hearing him talking to himself, Wang Xifeng couldn't help interjecting, "Their family has a big tree that attracts the wind, and they have done things about people they don't see. I heard people say that Uncle Lin was poisoned in the past, and it was their family who killed him." hand.

I also heard that the whole family of the grandfather of our Long Live Lord was killed by the Zhen family.

This kind of news is flying all over the sky, there are true and false, who knows which is true and which is false. "

Jia Lian squinted his eyes for a while and said, "No wonder, what Brother Cui told me is never true. Their caravans are all over Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and they know more news than others. Remember, In the end, don't interfere with their family's money, and don't go around when someone comes to their family."

Wang Xifeng felt that the situation was serious after hearing what he said, and felt that there was no need to be divorced because of Yin Zi and his wife, so he agreed, and the couple packed up their things, blew out the candles, and lay down to rest.

The moon is bending over Kyushu, and some families are happy and some are sad.

Qilin was worrying at this time, and had a lot of evidence in his hand, but these evidences could not immediately uproot the Zhen family.

These are all small cases, either forcibly robbing civilian women or occupying fertile land.There are also life lawsuits, but there is no fundamental and direct evidence. At that time, their family can just push out a slave or a manager to take the blame.

And the most terrible thing is that the Zhen family has been operating in Jiangnan for a long time, and the reputation here is still good.

This kind of good reputation is all boasted by those scholars.It is said that the Zhen family is sympathetic to the elderly and loves the weak.

Every time the female family members of their family go out, they carry white rice, white flour and white steamed buns with them, and share them with everyone they see.

Everyone in Jinling City knows about such a good thing. When incense is offered on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, many beggars and poor people gather around the door of Zhen's house, waiting for their wives and grandmas to go out.

Being so merciful on the surface, he did a lot of bloody things behind the scenes, but not everyone saw it.

There is another thing that made Qilin slap the table the most.

That is the debt of the people in their family who led the donkeys to roll.

The principal of the donkey rolling is not the Zhen family's, but
