Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Xue Chang did not speak, but went to the Duobao Pavilion behind him and opened a secret compartment in front of Jia Zheng.

Then he took a step back, stretched out his hand, and asked Jia Zheng to come over and watch.

"This is……"

Jia Zheng looked through it and found that there was a conspiracy written in the secret letters in the secret room. The people who came and went were different, and one of them was addressed to Xue Chang.

"Ahem, if you cut off other people's wealth, others will cut off your livelihood. Before you even came to Jiangnan, someone sent a message to buy your life, ahem."

"Oh, I really can't see that my life is so valuable."

Jia Zheng looked at the familiar names and laughed. "Governor Li is really hiding his secrets! At that time, he didn't let any news slip when I was in front of him."

"Governor Li is a graduate of Northwest China. He finally went to a place like Ludi, just waiting to stand up and earn a fortune for his family. It would be weird if you interfered with his good deeds and didn't plot against you secretly."

Xue Chang coughed and closed the secret compartment and gave the key to Jia Zheng.

"From now on, this secret line will be given to you, and you won't have to pay for the information. Ahem."

Jia Zheng looked at the other party and knew that this smart man had guessed his plan, otherwise, he would not have given him the information channels he planned to send to the emperor.

"You've made me angry."

Jia Zheng said helpless words, but calmly took all the secret letters into his arms.

He now had information about Xue Chang and knew that he was collecting the privacy of court ministers without the emperor's permission. It would be fine if he was really dead, but if he wanted to survive, he had to conspire with Jia Zheng.

"I don't care what you say. I am a person who has died once, and I only hope to survive. You, on the other hand, are so cowardly that you want to plot... cough."

"It's not that exaggerated. What I'm thinking is that I don't want to put my life on the mercy of others. I don't feel comfortable cutting off my limbs and waiting for others to take care of them."

Jia Zheng said, took out the secret letter again, put it in Xue Chang's hand, and then patted it comfortingly.

"I guess you think so too, why not just keep it yourself."

Xue Chang's dark pupils trembled, and it took him a while before a smile broke out on his face.

"I think Baoyu is very good, and we are also destined to Baochai, why not..."

"I really want to agree, but I'm afraid that I'll miss the children. Now outside, you see Baoyu as a millionaire. But inside... that's it! If Baochai likes it and Baoyu is willing, I will naturally support it with all my strength. Just look at the children, it’s not like you can’t live.”

"Right."

Xue Chang smiled, his eyes full of hope. He was a businessman who valued integrity more. Now that it's been decided, there will be no turning back.

After a sumptuous banquet, Jia Zheng took Baoyu's hand and got into the carriage. Seeing the Xue Pan brothers and sisters going out to see each other off, they agreed to bring Baoyu to play together more often in the future.

After getting into the car, Jia Zhengcai rubbed his head and asked Baoyu what he thought of Baochai.

"Sister Bao is very good."

"Then how about asking her to be your wife?"

If Bao Dai's relationship had been broken off early, Daiyu's life might not have been wasted.

"I don't want to." Baoyu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Master Wen said that when I look for a wife in the future, I will look for someone with a strong family background. Sister Bao's family is a merchant, so she is not suitable."

"Oh?"

Jia Zheng didn't expect to hear this from Baoyu's mouth. What did this old man teach you nonsense? How can you talk about this?

"Master Wen said that we are a noble family and we don't lack money and power, but we only lack a reputation in the literary world. Therefore, when looking for a wife, we should look for someone from the literary school."

Baoyu said with a bitter face: "He told me many people, and also showed me portraits of their little girls, and strongly recommended that I marry a girl from Lu."

"Oh, Baoyu doesn't like it?"

Jia Zheng took Baoyu, but he was gritting his teeth in his heart. When he went back, he must settle the score with Wen!

"No."

Baoyu shook his head in distress and said, "I just feel like I'm still young. Is it too early to consider this? Besides, Sister Xiren has been unhappy since she found out. I don't want her to be unhappy."

"Oh, attacking~"

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth. Seeing how well she treated Baoyu and didn't touch her even though the old lady sent her, she didn't want to start instigating Baoyu now!

"It's really too early for you to consider this matter now. This is a matter of your life, so you can't draw conclusions too early."

"Why?" Baoyu looked up at Jia Zheng. Master Wen said that he had better think about it earlier, so as not to be dazzled when he grows up.

"Because your body has not grown up yet. When your body grows up and you become smarter and stronger, you will be able to afford a home and raise children."

"And like Xi Ren, she is older than you, her body grows faster than you, and she makes decisions earlier than you. When you grow up and look at the decisions you made early, you may regret it. Because this It was others who induced you to make the decision."

Jia Zheng said, but he didn't know whether he should tell the dangers of puppy love in advance. It’s only after raising a child that he realizes how difficult it is for parents. He wants to make Baoyu responsible for his life, but he is afraid of misleading him.

"Does dad find this very difficult? I think so too. I have to grow up before I make a decision."

Seeing that Jia Zheng was in trouble, Baoyu kindly helped Jia Zheng find a way out. He felt that it was better to study more when he was a child, so that he could benefit the people if he had the same skills as his father.

Jia Zheng didn't know his glorious image in Baoyu's mind. He brought Baoyu with him in the hope that he could teach by words and deeds.

He still had a lot of things to do in his government affairs. In addition to his intrigues with Jinling officials, he also had to deal with the emperor's suspicious and seriously ill superior.

Although he and Daiyu were already very close, he didn't have a chance to visit them for a while.

Baoyu and Tanchun went to Yangzhou to deliver New Year's goods to Jia Min. Because Lin Ruhai's youngest son was not in good health, the family did not dare to go out. It was not until Jia Zheng's three-year term in office was over that he had time to visit Jia Min's family.

"Why are both your children so sick?"

Daiyu, who has a younger brother and a mother, is undoubtedly more lively. She wasn't that cautious when getting along with Baoyu.

Looking at Daiyu like this, she looks better than he did before. However, Jia Zheng still found fault, looking down on his brother-in-law Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is indeed a humble gentleman, more gentle and cultivated than the fake Xue Chang.

It's so beautiful, but it can't be lifted by hand or carried on the shoulder. It looks like an embroidered pillow.

"Brother~"

Jia Min acted coquettishly and did not want Jia Zheng to teach her husband a lesson. She was different from the noble lady from a distinguished family in Jia Zheng's memory. She looked like a child obsessed with love.

No wonder Daiyu died crying to Baoyu. Her mother Jia Min was a role model.

Jia Zheng didn't like her, he even disliked her. Because she failed to give birth to healthy offspring for the Lin family, she suffered from postpartum depression. This was all caused by Lin Ruhai, who stood aside and could only see her face!
