Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

As soon as Qi Guogong said this, there was an instant silence at the banquet!

Chen Huai quickly came to his senses, and gave a stiff smirk, "It's good that Rui'er comes back! You were playful and lost, and the whole family cared about you for a long time, why don't you ask your grandfather for your sins? You are not young anymore. It’s time to be sensible and stop worrying your family.”

Everyone looked at Chen Huai meaningfully, only to see Chen Rui lowered his eyes lightly, and said: "Grandfather, grandson was taken away by human traffickers, and it happened that no one was around to serve him, so he couldn't escape for a while, so he had to go with the boat Jiangnan. Thanks to the help of the nobles, some traffickers will be captured and sent to the government, so that my grandson can return to Beijing again."

"Okay! Rui'er is a good person, so you can meet noble people. When you turn bad luck into good luck, you will have good fortune. Come, sit down and rest!" Qi Guogong pulled Chen Rui to his seat, as if he couldn't see the tit-for-tat confrontation between his son and grandson. He can't tell clearly based on unfounded facts, it will only make people laugh, he can see clearly at his age, he has made a decision in his heart, immediately cut off the conversation between the two of them, happily toasted with everyone to celebrate the return of his grandson!

Qi Guogong's sentence "There must be good luck in the future" immediately turned Chen Rui's misery into a blessing for himself. How could such a good boy who turned danger into fortune be ignorant?Everyone was very knowledgeable, and praised Chen Rui according to Duke Qi's words. The atmosphere was very lively. Seeing Chen Rui's expensive attire when he came back, no one guessed how hard Chen Rui was at the beginning, and only wondered who the so-called nobleman was in his heart. .

The male guest concealed it with a few words, and then revealed the matter, but the female guest got the letter, but the atmosphere was very delicate!Seeing Mrs. Liu's froze smiling face, many people gloated and murmured in their hearts, loudly congratulating Mrs. Liu for finding her eldest son, and Mrs. Liu shed a few tears in excitement to show her concern.

They are all the mistresses of the house, who doesn't understand Liu Shi's thoughts, Chen Rui's words made everyone sure that what happened back then has nothing to do with Liu Shi, so what if there is no evidence?The gossip and gossip in private ruined the reputation even more, which can be said to be a big blow to Liu, who has always been hypocritical!

At the end of the birthday banquet, the Duke of Qi toasted with everyone, and once again brought up the matter of giving the title to the eldest grandson Chen Rui, without giving Chen Huai a chance to find a way to stop it, and sent the memorial requesting the title to the palace early the next morning.It just so happened that when he took the exam for Chen Rui, he found that although Chen Rui was living abroad, he didn't delay his homework. This grandson has always been smart, and he might be able to come back from the Jinshi exam in the future. Let him ask for an order and have more confidence.

The emperor's health was getting worse day by day, and he was worried about his sons' open and secret struggles. When he saw the memorial, he understood that the turmoil in the Duke of Qi's mansion was also for the sake of winning the title. He simply approved and agreed, and Chen Rui became Qi Xianghou in this way!The title was only lowered by one rank!

Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng didn't expect things to go so smoothly. From this, it can be seen that Qi Guogong attaches great importance to Chen Rui, and he is really happy for Chen Rui.But Chen Huai and Liu Shi were dumbfounded. They never expected that Chen Rui would come back suddenly and suddenly hit them by surprise!No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can't harm Chen Rui at this moment, or they won't be able to get away with it!

Liu's angry chest seemed to be pressing down on a boulder, and she lay sickly on the bed and couldn't get up. Nanny Xiao immediately seized this opportunity and asked Mei Chaofeng for a debilitating medicine. From then on, he helped Chen Rui get rid of Liu's confidantes, and slowly took the Chen Mansion into his hands.

Mei Chaofeng sneaked into the Chen Mansion every three days to teach Chen Rui, seeing that he had lost some weight but had bright eyes and more energy, so he stopped meddling in the affairs of the Chen Mansion.If you want to be an indomitable man, you have to bear the wind and rain by yourself. People in Peach Blossom Island will not spoil their apprentices!

After several dismissals and the appointment of new officials, the third prince took control of the Jiangnan officialdom, relaxed a lot, but kept a low profile.Not long after, the prince couldn't stand the emperor's suspicion and the other princes' attacks, and he joined forces with the emperor's servants to force the palace to usurp the throne!The third prince and his men were the first to break into the palace to rescue the emperor. He was stabbed in the body for the escort, and the emperor was moved by the prince's cold heart just now, and he valued this usually low-key son!

Everyone in the capital was in danger, and the Lin residence also closed the door to thank guests. Chen Xuanfeng saw Mei Chaofeng enter, put down the scroll in his hand, and sighed, "Don't worry, the emperor has been hit this time, and I'm afraid his condition will worsen. Sooner or later, I will ask the Third Prince to approve my resignation letter, and we will be able to leave this place."

Mei Chaofeng looked at him and shook his head, "Don't worry, everything needs to be in order, and if Ye'er takes part in the imperial examination in the future, he can also pave the way for him in Beijing. I just didn't expect Beijing to turn over so soon. Damn, yesterday the old lady of Jia's mansion sent someone to talk to me about some important matters, I'm afraid she has some idea, after all you still have an official position, so you are stronger than Jia's mansion."

"It seems that Jia Yuanchun, Jia Zheng's eldest daughter, entered the Third Prince's Mansion as a concubine, but the family that funded the prince's rebellion before is probably one of the Ningguo Mansions. If they are really that stupid, they will end up badly. Don't move around at this time. No one can find out why, just ignore it." Chen Xuanfeng often met with the third prince, and occasionally heard a word or two, no matter whether it was a deliberate temptation or not, he would not get too involved with the Jia family.

Mei Chaofeng nodded and put these things behind, and suddenly smiled excitedly: "The people who sent to the East China Sea to inquire before sent back news that there is indeed an island over there, but they saw the island from a distance, but they always rowed to see the island. If we encounter an undercurrent and cannot get close, I guess it is Peach Blossom Island! Go check it out as soon as we leave the capital!"

Chen Xuanfeng also smiled, "There must be some kind of formation! I don't know if there are any descendants of Master on it. If not, we will definitely restore Peach Blossom Island to its former appearance! Now that the crown prince is dead, the emperor posthumously named him Prince Yizhong. The prince's injury has also healed, and it seems that the throne will be passed on soon, and we won't wait too long."

"Well, I have been here for more than 20 years, I can wait."

Sure enough, the emperor took action very quickly, and when he was recovering from illness, he named the third prince as the prince and acted as an agent of the government.And the third prince discovered Chen Xuanfeng's extraordinary literary talents in the process of talking with Chen Xuanfeng many times, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned it to the emperor, and named Chen Xuanfeng, who was not in good health and unsuitable for an official, as the prince and tutor!

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin! Your Highness the Crown Prince values ​​you very much!"

Chen Xuanfeng accepted the imperial decree with a smile, asked someone to stuff a purse into the eunuch who passed the decree, and sent him away politely.After returning to the room, he put the imperial decree on the table, and looked at each other with Mei Chaofeng.

Mei Chaofeng frowned and asked, "What does he mean? Didn't he say he didn't want to be an official? Besides, he's so big and so sinister, why do you need a tutor?"

Chen Xuanfeng tapped the table with his fingers, and pondered: "The Grand Tutor is just a name, as for what he is thinking, we will not know until we meet."

Before he could think about it, the crown prince had already sent someone to invite him to visit the mansion. Although the third prince named him the crown prince, Prince Yizhong had just died not long ago, and the current crown prince still lived in the third prince's mansion, so it was convenient for him to meet important officials.

Chen Xuanfeng changed his clothes helplessly and rushed over, and saw the prince in the study.The prince smiled and asked him to sit down, "Master Lin also knows that there are several forces in the court, and there are not many people available in the lonely hands. I also hope that Master Lin can stay and help the lonely to clean up the court."

Chen Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and looked at him seriously, "His Royal Highness, how can this humble minister He De take on this important task? There are many capable people around His Highness, and he will be able to control the court soon. After a serious illness, the humble minister has no intention of going to court, so I just Please go back to the countryside and be with your wife and children every day, please be fulfilled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince carefully looked at his expression, seeing that he didn't seem to be a fake, he didn't know whether he was relieved or felt helpless.He did this to test out that Chen Xuanfeng used to work for his father, but after being chased and killed by the crown prince, he gave him the ledger, so he had to be wary.If Chen Xuanfeng wanted to continue to be an official, he would naturally arrange a seat for him, but if Chen Xuanfeng resigned as resolutely as he first met, he would be more at ease.It's just that it's still a pity that the court lost such a capable official.

After a long silence, the crown prince smiled relievedly, "That's it, I don't have to force anyone to do anything. I heard that you have a son in your family. If you want to enter the officialdom in the future, it would be better for you to have an official position. The Tai Tuo doesn't have to quit. Not good, if there is a suitable place to recuperate, you can leave Beijing to recuperate, it can be regarded as a dedication to the Taifu."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chen Xuanfeng walked out of the Third Prince's Mansion, looked back before getting into the carriage, and chuckled lightly.The crown prince's show of favor is also a reward for him to hand over the account book. If he pushes it completely, the crown prince might suspect that he has other plans.This is very good, the two will not owe each other in the future, and both parties can feel at ease. As for the title of Tai Tuo, since the future emperor doesn't care, what does he care about?

Mei Chaofeng was very happy to know the prince's intentions, and ordered people to start to take care of the ceremony and prepare to leave the capital. Although the prince could not leave until the prince ascended the throne and fully took power, this did not stop Mei Chaofeng's good mood at all. She didn't get angry even after the Taifu repeatedly urged and asked for a relationship.

One month later, on Jia Mu's birthday, Mei Chaofeng was invited to come to Jia's house again, but Mei Chaofeng couldn't refuse, so she had to take Lin Daiyu and Lin Ye with Chen Xuanfeng to Jia's house to celebrate her birthday.After the fun, Jiamu left Mei Chaofeng to talk in the room, Mrs. Wang's face was not very good-looking, but it was rare that she didn't target Mei Chaofeng, and sat quietly on the side.

Mei Chaofeng frowned slightly, intuitively thinking that they didn't want to simply chat, and after a while, Jia's mother glanced at Mrs. Wang and began to turn the conversation around Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu!

"Min'er, it's rare that the two children are both smart and clever, and they are so cute and cute, isn't it a perfect match? If the two Yu'er are together, we will kiss and get closer. They are both from our own family. From now on It will not let Daiyu be wronged. Moreover, Baoyu's sister-in-law is now by the prince's side, and Ruhai is the grand tutor, and all these goings and turns are all from her own family. If Yuanchun gains power, Baoyu can be more promising. Daiyu is ordered to add her body, and she is favored by her cousin in the palace, so life is not like a fairy." Jia's mother said something expressly and implicitly, and gave Mrs. Wang a wink to ask her to say a few words of agreement.

Mrs. Wang is showing weakness by sitting here for the sake of her son and daughter's future, and she will never be able to make her flatter Mei Chaofeng again. Now that she thinks about what she said when she taunted Mei Chaofeng last time, she feels her face burning up, thinking that he has lost, She climbed up to the crown prince, wouldn't that slap her in the face?How can she speak soft words to my sister-in-law who has hated her for half her life?

Mei Chaofeng looked at the expressions of the two of them, went over Jia Mu's words in his mind, and his face turned cold, "Daiyu is still young, don't worry, my master is not in good health, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has granted the master to rest at home, can't we see each other on weekdays?" When it comes to His Royal Highness, Yuan Chun may not be able to help you much."

"Min'er!" Mother Jia lowered her face, "We're all a family, why are we getting more and more divided? You don't have an old man watching over you, so it's inevitable that you haven't thought carefully, and now my mother is doing it for you..."

"Mother, the Lin family and the Jia family are two families after all. Mother should not say too much, otherwise the master will get angry, and I am afraid that it will be the next mother's birthday, and the daughter will not be able to come."

"you!"

"It's getting late, the master has to go back to the house to drink medicine, and my daughter will leave first." Mei Chaofeng casually said a few polite words and got up and left. Dislike, this kind of snobbish people will naturally hide as far away as possible.

Jia's mother didn't expect Mei Chaofeng to be so tough, her plan was thwarted, and she couldn't get angry, so she opened her mouth and pointed at Mrs. Wang and scolded her, blaming her for offending Mei Chaofeng in the past and now hurting Baoyu and Yuanchun's future.Mrs. Wang didn't dare to talk back, she gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded Jiamu and Mei Chaofeng all over, her hatred for Mei Chaofeng reached its peak.

A few days later, a rumor spread among the relatives of the central officials in Beijing that Jia Min, the wife who trusted the Taifu, became ill with Jiamu on the day of Jiamu's birthday, and refused to visit her to plead guilty, which was extremely unfilial.

Mei Chaofeng's family didn't go out very often, so they didn't pay attention to this matter at all. It was Mammy Xiao who heard about it and came to tell Chen Rui.Chen Rui has now truly taken control of the Chen Mansion. He dismissed a lot of Liu's staff when Liu was sick in bed. Later, when Prince Yizhong forced the palace and the capital was chaotic, he led thieves into the mansion to kill Liu. It also frightened Chen Huai into confusion.Afterwards, a few beautiful concubines were arranged to serve Chen Huai, and Chen Huai, who was so obsessed, huddled in his room day by day, forgetting to snatch his son's title. Anyway, his son is filial, and life is more comfortable than before. What's the big deal about being the Marquis?

Afterwards, the eccentric Chen Jue was arranged to be raised in a remote courtyard like a bastard. After all, Chen Rui killed Mrs. Liu and would not do anything like raising tigers. Forget about family training.The change of Chen's house happened when Prince Yizhong rebelled, no one noticed, and when they settled down afterwards, everyone just lamented that Chen Rui is a good Erlang, and he is really lucky to support the Marquis's house at a young age!Let Chen Rui gain a firm foothold in Beijing.

Mei Chaofeng sneered when she heard Chen Rui's unfilial rumors, knowing that it was Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang who did it. Ordinary women would definitely compromise when encountering such a thing, and make a superficial intimacy with their natal family. She had to answer one of Jia Mu's requests.But she is extremely disgusted with this matter, so how can she handle her?dream!

Chen Rui looked at Mei Chaofeng anxiously, "Master, is there something difficult to do? This disciple is considered to have two powers now, and the master can only follow orders. Although the rumors are not a big deal, they will damage the reputation of the master after all. Disciple knows that Master doesn't care about these things, but in the future... in the future, someone who cares about it may damage the reputation of Senior Sister, so I have to be cautious."

Lin Ye slapped the table with a stern face, "Those gossips, sooner or later they will be dealt with!"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and looked at Mei Chaofeng with a smile, "Mother, my daughter is not afraid of these rumors, but the Jia family is plotting against us, so we can't teach them a lesson. Since they want to talk about their reputations, why don't we treat them with each other?" If the way is returned to the other body, their reputation will be completely stinky, and outsiders will think that it is reasonable for us to stay away from Jia's house."

Mei Chaofeng patted her head and smiled, "Oh? What idea do you girl have?"

"Grandmother is getting old, and if something bad happens, I won't mention grandma. People like Second Aunt must have a lot of gossip in private. We found out and passed it on to her, embellishing the truth with falsehoods. It's enough for her to burn out!"

Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and applauded, "I'll order someone to investigate when I get back. The sooner this matter is the better, Senior Sister is so smart."

"Then thank you, Junior Brother." Lin Daiyu smiled and glanced at him with a quiet and elegant look.

Chen Rui couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Outsiders were deceived by her appearance when they saw the senior sister. Only a few close people in his family could see the cunning and clever side of the senior sister, and he didn't know who would be lucky enough to marry the senior sister in the future.Thinking of the fact that his grandfather mentioned two days ago that he wanted to look at the marriage for him early and find a suitable mistress, Chen Rui felt uncomfortable. A ten-year-old child does not understand love, but he feels that if he wants to have a wife who will accompany him day and night in the future, no one can do it. Comparable to my senior sister!They all learn kung fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from their master, and there are always endless topics to talk about together, and they will definitely be as loving as their master and master. Thinking of this, Chen Rui blushes a little when he looks at Lin Daiyu again.

Mei Chaofeng accidentally caught a glimpse of Chen Rui's reddened ears while drinking tea, and couldn't help being taken aback, followed his line of sight to see Lin Daiyu, understood in his heart, and smiled silently.

Lin Daiyu was by Mei Chaofeng's side every day, and her temper changed a little bit. She was a bit like Huang Rong, but she was much more stable and reasonable than Huang Rong, which made Mei Chaofeng feel proud every time she looked at her.It's just that this world is too harsh on women. She taught Lin Daiyu to be like this, and she worried about what kind of husband she would find in the future to make her daughter happy. Looking at Chen Rui now, she thinks he is a good candidate, but the child is still young. No later than six years.

Mrs. Wang's flaws are easy to check if you really want to investigate carefully. With the help of Chen Rui, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's private loan sharks and monopoly lawsuits were found out within two days.Mei Chaofeng would not be soft on this kind of person, and directly put the evidence in the study of an impartial and strict censor.

Three days later, the censor participated in the court hall to play Jia Amnesty and Jia's lack of strictness in politicians.The crown prince was dissatisfied with the Jia family's support for Prince Yizhong, so he came to deliver a pillow when he was sleepy, and ordered people to investigate and immediately put the big and small Wangs into prison.Jia Amnesty seized the title, Jia Zheng was dismissed from office, and Wang Ziteng was reprimanded.The emperor didn't blame him for being strict with the veterans of the family, the law is the law, even the female family members in the mansion are making trouble like this, Jia's treatment is not wrong.

After this incident, the emperor somehow felt that he was getting old, so he quickly ordered the crown prince to be given the seat of Zen, and he took his favorite concubine to live in the garden for the elderly, regardless of political affairs.

The crown prince was overjoyed, and he also opened the door to the Jia family. He only killed the big and small Wang family, confiscated half of the Jia family's wealth, and demoted him to a commoner.Poor Jia Yuanchun was just excited for her husband to become emperor in the backyard of the deep house, when she learned that she had a mother who was punished for crimes, and entered the palace without even a title, as if staying in a cold palace, and hated her mother's family in her heart The meaning is to accumulate more and more deeply!

The Jia family is over, but no one truly mourns for the Jia family, and those people who have been oppressed even celebrate wildly.Mei Chaofeng, as Jia's mother's daughter, bought her a villa in the suburbs of Beijing and ten maids to take care of her. The previous rumors of unfilial piety were self-defeating.

The new emperor enthroned, amnesty the world, and every household in the capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, but the Lin Mansion was completely empty.

Next to a small island in the East China Sea, the four members of the Lin family paddled around and wandered around. After half an hour, they avoided the reef and set foot on the small island.Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng walked in quickly, Lin Daiyu and Lin Ye looked at each other and followed inexplicably.

Turning the corner and seeing a luxuriant peach blossom forest, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng were moved to tears. When they walked around the formation, they saw that the house was dilapidated, the lettering on the pavilion was blurred, and it was obviously deserted.The two ran around inside and out, and finally walked towards the tomb of Master Feng Heng with heavy steps. When they saw a big tombstone engraved with the joint tomb of Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng, the two finally couldn't help crying.

There are traces of their past lives here, and there is a master they respect and love in their hearts, but the world has changed, and now the two of them can only worship the tombstone of the respected master in other people's names. The powerless sadness makes the two of them feel heartbroken !

The four settled in Peach Blossom Island. Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng built the house they would live in, pruned the peach trees, took care of the deserted island, and slowly restored Peach Blossom Island to its original brilliance.Behind the tombs of Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng, they found a row of tombstones of Taohua Island disciples, including Mei Chaofeng and his brothers, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Cheng Ying, Sha Gu, etc. They cleared the weeds, Wipe all the tombstones clean, light incense, and look at the names of Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng on the tombstones with moisture in my eyes, but no more tears.

The past is over, they will live well, do good deeds, and pass on Peach Blossom Island.

In a few years, Chen Xuanfeng developed the industries of Peach Blossom Island all over the country. Whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster, he would be the first to donate money to save people. The plaque of the little peach blossom logo has become a conscientious business in the hearts of the people. As long as you see the peach blossom logo, you will not worry about being cheated.Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng are walking step by step according to their original vows, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, atone for the crimes of the previous life.

Lin Daiyu and Ji This year, Chen Rui brought the treasures he had collected for many years and officially went to Taohua Island to propose marriage. Lin Daiyu entered Beijing long before his departure, and along the way, she followed him along the way. However, he finally returned to Peach Blossom Island and nodded with satisfaction.

After hundreds of years, Peach Blossom Island was once again covered with red silk. Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng sat in high positions and watched their apprentices and daughters tie the knot, smiling at each other.

Three days later, when everyone returned to Beijing, Chen Xuanfeng helped Mei Chaofeng board the boat carefully, and kept telling him, "Now that you are pregnant, how can you be so busy like before? For the sake of the baby, you must not use it these few months." Martial arts, so as not to move the tire gas, if you have anything to do, ask me to do it, be careful yourself."

Mei Chaofeng smiled and pushed him, "Okay, my daughter and son-in-law are still here, don't nag me! She's already four months old, and the fetus is very stable."

Chen Rui took Lin Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Mother is still listening to my father. You must be more careful after traveling and traveling. When Yu'er and I have a baby, we will play with my little uncle!"

Lin Daiyu blushed, stepped on him and ran into the cabin, Chen Rui cupped his hands in salute, "Father, mother, cough, my son-in-law will go and have a look." After speaking, he hurriedly chased Daiyu away, making several people haha laughing out loud.

This trip to Beijing was for Lin Daiyu's wedding in Beijing, and for Lin Ye to participate in the scientific examination. The family traveled slowly for three months before returning to the Lin Mansion in Beijing. The emperor summoned Chen Xuanfeng and finally approved his resignation paper.

On the day when Lin Ye won the first prize in the examination, Mei Chaofeng gave birth to a pair of twins. Lin Daiyu felt like vomiting when she saw the blood. Looking at the two little people in my arms, I feel that everything in this life is worth it...

Contrary to the joy of the Lin family, the Jia family in a village in the suburbs of Beijing was gloomy. Jia Baoyu took Xi Ren's hand to pull her burden, "Xi Ren, why did you leave? Didn't you say you would take care of me for the rest of your life?" ? Where are you going? Are you going to find that neither man nor woman Qi Guaner?"

"That's enough! What's not a man or a woman? Young Master Jiang earned his fortune by himself. It's my good fortune to be considered by him. If you are really good for me, you should let me live a good life!" The man pushed him away expressionlessly and strode away, ignoring the crying accusations behind him.

Shi Xiangyun sneered and glanced at Jia Baoyu, "Hey, husband, didn't you say that you and Xiren are sincere and no one can separate you? Today you can see her true face?"

Jia Baoyu hastily turned back and pulled her, "Sister Yun!"

Shi Xiangyun shook off his hand and walked out of the room, "I just came to see a good show today, you divorced me for the attacker, my dear brother, I am really happy to see your fate! If there is an afterlife, I only hope that I will never see each other again." !"

"Never meet...Never meet..." Jia Baoyu stumbled after him and fell to the ground, tears kept streaming down his face. If you marry a man, you will become a dead fish, even if you marry him!

Let's go, these unintentional people should have left long ago.

Looking at the dilapidated and empty Zhuangzi, Jia Baoyu felt desperate. His mother asked him to kill him. My aunt stole some property and disappeared, and Lian's second brother didn't know where he went.He only had Sister Yun and Xiren as his two caring people, and now they are gone...

What is he left to do...

Jia Baoyu got up with dull eyes and walked blindly along the road. He didn't stop until he collapsed from hunger at the gate of a small temple.
