Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 354 Major Events
Jia Min said: "There are so many bird's nests, but they all came from it?"

Xue Hong nodded: "Aunt Lin has a sharp eye and discerns pearls. Isn't this the way to go? Baochai told Sister Lin a long time ago that there is too much ginseng and cinnamon in the prescription you often take. Although it is beneficial Qi nourishes the spirit, and should not be too hot. The most important thing is to calm the liver and nourish the stomach first. Once the liver fire is flat, it cannot suppress the earth. If the stomach qi is not diseased, the diet can nourish the person. Get up early every day and take one or two high-quality bird's nests. , Rock sugar costs five cents, and you have to get used to it to make porridge with a silver spoon. It is better than medicine, and it is the most nourishing yin and qi." Along with these words, there is also the blood swallow that Sister Lin is given. As soon as you said it. Did you forget that you just remembered and asked me to bring you here to apologize? "

Jia Min wondered: "Since they are advanced, why are there so many? It is said that there are not many blood swallows in the palace, right?"

Xue Hong smiled awkwardly: "This... This year, our caravan was responsible for buying the blood swallows. The emperor rewarded some, and Princess Shuyi rewarded them. There are so many in total, and I brought them all. "

After hearing this, Jia Min said, "What's the point? You've brought all these precious things here. What do your mother and sisters use? You don't need so much, so bring some back."

Xue Hong shook his head: "I didn't take this privately. My mother agreed to it. She said that the blood swallow is just a daily nourishment for them. It is the same without the blood swallow but with the white swallow. But Sister Lin and Aunt Lin takes blood swallows to nourish her body, but the meaning is different. These blood swallows are more effective. When I went out, my mother specially told me that this is the rarest thing to nourish yin and replenish qi. , you must let Aunt Lin accept it. If I take it back, my mother should say that I can't speak. Good aunt, just keep it."

The blood swallow is indeed precious, but the Lin family can't bear it. Xue Hong said it so earnestly. Jia Min also remembered that this is the best food for Daiyu's cough, so he said with a smile: "It's true. It’s hard for Bao girl, who really thinks about us Daiyu, and hard for your mother to be so generous, and you have to send it yourself. If you accept it, it really makes me feel uneasy.”

Xue Hong smiled and said: "Aunt Lin doesn't need to do this, we are relatives, and Bao girl and sister Lin are so close, we should do these things."

Here, Xue Hong came to Lin Ruhai's study from Jia Min. Lin Ruhai really selected some articles about current affairs and politicians and Jiangnan students for Xue Hong.

Lin Ruhai saw him looking like he had found a treasure, and asked with a smile: "Have you signed up for this year's scientific examination?"

Lin Ruhai had read the article written by Xue Hong and thought that he was ready to take the test. However, he was still young and could take the test or not.

Xue Hong knew in his heart that this year was the 51st year of Kangxi, and a big event was about to happen, which was related to Princess Shuyi. Maybe there were many things that could be of use to him, so when Li Zhixing suggested him to sign up for the scientific examination last time, he He just used the excuse of being too young to push it away, and now Lin Ruhai asked this question, but he gave the same answer.

"Uncle Lin was joking, how old am I? How much do I have in the article? Even Lian's second elder brother said he couldn't take the exam, so why should I bother myself? When I fail the exam and fail the exam, I will be sad again It’s sad, it’s better to suffer for a few more years, I’m still young anyway.”

Lin Ruhai disagreed with his words: "If you are still young, it doesn't matter if you want to wait a few more years, but what you said just now is too frustrating. A manly man, standing between heaven and earth, failed a mere scientific examination Is it worth being sad? This is too irresponsible. Besides, I see that your article is already good, so don't belittle yourself."

Xue Hong nodded: "Hong'er wants to teach Uncle Lin. It's just that I want to wait and don't want to be too anxious."

Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing this. At his age, there was really no need to be too hasty.So he changed the subject: "I heard...that Princess Shuyi is a relative of your family?"

Xue Hong said with a smile: "Why did you hear about Uncle Lin just after he came back? That's right. Princess Shuyi's mother was originally my biological aunt, but many things happened to you, so that now the family can be reunited. My father and mother are very happy to be able to recognize the princess. They love the princess very much, and the princess is willing to get close to her. The Xue Mansion and the Princess Mansion have been coming and going frequently. "

Lin Ruhai just nodded, but remained silent, with a serious expression on his face.

Xue Hong smelled a strange atmosphere. Could it be that Lin Ruhai didn't just ask him to give the book this time?Is there any special order?

"Uncle Lin, what's the matter with you?"

Xue Hong asked tentatively, but she didn't want Lin Ruhai to sigh, "Hey...speaking of it, it's still unknown whether it's a blessing or a curse for Princess Shuyi and your family to recognize this relative."

Lin Ruhai was a close official of the Emperor, so what he suddenly said was not groundless. It only made Xue Hong feel a thump in his heart, secretly thinking that it was not good.

"Uncle Lin, what do you mean by that? It's a big matter, you can't scare Hong'er."

Lin Ruhai said: "Do you know what I am going to Jiangnan this time?"

"Didn't you order an imperial envoy to be imprisoned in Yangzhou together with Mr. Zhang Penghe to deal with the case of Jiangnan Examination?"

Lin Ruhai nodded: "That's right. But did you know that in this case of fraud at the Jiangnan Examination Center, six or seven out of ten people were actually subordinates of the prince?"

"Too... prince?"

"That's right, the crown prince just lost a lot of wings because of Shen Tiansheng's bribery case in the household department, and another fraud case occurred in the Jiangnan examination room. The emperor was furious and killed many officials of the princeling party. The power of the princeling party is extremely weak now. Now, if someone with a heart wants to report something about the prince in front of the emperor at this time, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid that the prince's status will not be guaranteed, and he may be deposed again?"

Although it was an interrogative sentence, Xue Hong said it very firmly. This is what he has been worried about. The major event that happened in the 51st year of Kangxi, Prince Yinfeng was abolished for the second time.

But this time he was deposed, and there was no possibility of recovery. Even the officials who later petitioned Emperor Kangxi to reinstate Yinreng were severely punished.Of course, this is history that Xue Hong knows. Whether it will happen here is probably unknown.

But Lin Ruhai's eyes widened, how did he know?Still looking so unsurprised?
