Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 452 Master Zhen's Father-in-Law

Xue Hong adhered to the principle of listening to people's persuasion to eat enough, and soon left Xiatianzhu Temple.It's just that I have a new understanding of the Zhen family in my heart.

Counting it, the Su family's accident should have happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Concubine Zhen was in favor.No, it should be said that Concubine Zhen was the Noble Concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was always very favored in the first 20 years of her entering the palace.The good things in Lord Kangxi's hands were sent to her Palace of Yanxi Palace like flowing water, and the Palace of Yanxi Palace has been rebuilt twice in ten years.

Concubine Zhen often went out and hugged her back, and her battles were no worse than that of the most arrogant and highest-born Concubine Wen Xi in the palace.Of course, Concubine Wen Xi and her are both noble concubines, so naturally there is no difference.It's just that she is a daughter of the Han people, and as soon as she entered the palace, she surpassed Huiyi Derong's fourth concubine and became a noble concubine. The imperial concubine can fight her for several rounds.

It's a pity that no matter whether it is the imperial concubine or the noble concubine Wen Xi, they are not as blessed as Zhen Guifei, and they all passed away early.In the 33rd year of Kangxi, after the death of Concubine Wen Xi, Concubine Zhen dominated the palace for several years, and even dreamed of becoming a queen.

This dream has been realized in the 39th year of Kangxi. The emperor canonized the younger sister of the late imperial concubine Tong Jiashi, known as the little Tong Jiashi, as a noble concubine, and she was equally divided with Zhen Guifei.At the beginning, people thought that the emperor enshrined Tong Jia as a check and balance on Concubine Zhen, but it was not the case.

Little Tong Jia came from a famous family and was the emperor's wife and sister. Her mother's family behind her was many times more noble than Concubine Zhen Gui.Ever since Little Tong Jia was registered as a noble concubine, the emperor seemed to have put Zhen Guifei in the cold palace, not only the rewards were gone, but even the daily visits were gone.It is also said that Concubine Zhen is always fond of extravagance, and has completely handed over the right to manage the six palaces to Concubine Tong Jia.Where is this check and balance?It was completely obvious that Concubine Zhen slapped Concubine Zhen a big slap in the face. Concubine Zhen was ashamed and indignant for a while and refused to go out. When she came out again, the climate in the palace had changed into another appearance. She couldn't help her arrogance. I only know Concubine Tong Jia, but I don't know that there is another Concubine Zhen in the palace.It wasn't until the emperor visited her once a month later that everyone in the palace seemed to remember that there was such a number one person as Concubine Zhen.

After that, Concubine Zhen also regained her favor for a while.However, those who are interested can easily find that every time the court needs money, the emperor will spoil Zhen Guifei for a period of time after asking for a large sum of money from the Zhen family. Faded.

On the surface, Concubine Zhen could take it easy, and she always said to Lord Kangxi that beauty could not last for years, and she didn't mind that Lord Kangxi liked young concubines.But behind the scenes, all the concubines that Lord Kangxi loved, there was no concubine who was not jealous of Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Liang was the first to bear the brunt.

Concubine Zhen is such a number one person, and his mother's family is even more domineering.Over the years, I have heard that the Zhen family is the same emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, but most of these news have been suppressed by the people in the court, so that the Zhen family is still at ease. If the Zhen family is to be brought down, where is it? so easy?

However, Xue Hong couldn't believe it. With Master Kangxi's wisdom, could it be that he really didn't know the crimes committed by the Zhen family?Was the Zhen family's deceitful effort really so impeccable?Or did Lord Kangxi deliberately turn a blind eye to the Zhen family's money?Didn't that become the Zhen family's accomplice in harming the common people?
Which one is the truth of the matter?What is the Zhen family really like?

Xue Hong had too many questions about the Zhen family in his heart, and these questions even disturbed him at night, no, he wanted to go and see what the real Zhen family was like!

In the south of the Yangtze River, it might be quite difficult to inquire about other families, but if the Zhen family was mentioned, everyone would know about it.

Zhen Yingjia, the current patriarch of the Zhen family, was the Daotai of Jinling Province at that time, and his family covered everything on the ground in Jinling.Zhen Yingjia's younger brother, Zhen Xujia, is in charge of business matters in the family.This Master Zhen Er is the most cold-hearted person, everything in the world, in his eyes, only distinguishes whether it is beneficial or not, valuable or worthless, it is the most impersonal thing.

In short, the two brothers wore a pair of trousers, and their claws extended to the whole of Jiangnan. They hadn't done personnel work for many years.

Xue Hong was sitting in a teahouse near Zhen's house, listening to everyone talking about Zhen's house with relish.

Among them was a well-dressed middle-aged man. When he mentioned the Zhen family, he was filled with righteous indignation and dared to say anything ugly.Usually, everyone dared not speak out about the behavior of the Zhen family, and no one dared to speak mercilessly like this person.

In fact, Xue Hong was very puzzled, why did this person dare to utter nonsense in such a close place to the Zhen family, and what he said was extremely ugly. Isn't he afraid that the people of the Zhen family will hear it and arrest him to find trouble?

He went up reluctantly, grabbed a little brother next to him and asked in a low voice: "Hey, who is this master? How dare he say that about the Zhen family?"

The little brother looked Xue Hong's eyes up and down, and felt that his eyes were strange: "Yo, you are from other places, right? You don't even know Mr. Meng? This is the father-in-law of Mr. Zhen's family. He has a er My son is an official under Mr. Zhen. Mr. Zhen has recently gained the filial piety of a nearby salt merchant. Mr. Meng thinks that Mr. Zhen's share to his son is too thin, and he is not happy. For a few days, he went around in teahouses and restaurants, and scolded everyone. We people just listened to it for fun, and in the whole of Jiangnan, he is probably the only one who dares to scold the Zhen family like that."

Xue Hong was delighted when he heard it, thanked the little brother, he went up and took a pack of tea leaves on the table of Mr. Meng, and told the waiter: "Go, make some good tea for Mr. Meng." Come."

Mr. Meng was just talking about how he might as well let a boy disturb him when he was in the mood, but he immediately became angry: "What are you doing, boy?"

Xue Hong hurriedly smiled and said: "No, no, this junior has high-quality tea here, take it out to honor Master Meng, you continue, continue."

Xue Hong's tea money has already been paid for the work of the tea house, but now it is just making an extra pot of tea for the guests, so what's the disadvantage?After a while, the tea was brought up.Master Meng lifted the lid of the teapot, and the aroma of the tea instantly filled the entire teahouse.Well, it's really a good thing.

Mr. Meng smiled and said: "Oh, what a good tea. I see that you are quite a stranger to me, so I'm not stingy in taking action. Well, consider it your filial piety. I'll finish the tea later, sir, and then I'll continue!"
