I am a traitor in the Red Mansion

Jiang Ling waited for three days until the day of Xiumu. The two originally agreed to go to the village for a few days, but Shen Zhou also missed the appointment.

He was about to take advantage of his position as the secretary of the South Study to go to the palace to find His Royal Highness, but a letter from Lin Ruhai arrived from Jiangnan.

The first thing in the letter is that Xu Ge is old and seriously ill, and he is popular.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but look serious. With Xu Ge's open-mindedness, it must not be a trivial matter to be sick.

It's not a big deal, but it's not a small one either.

Xu Ge's older grandsons are mediocre in learning, and those who have won the exam are considered the best. If they can't start a career, they will always succeed in getting married. When the grandson ranks sixth, there will be a pair of troubled parents. Fourth Mrs. Xu.

Although the family property is rich, the heirs are prosperous after all. Mr. Xu Ge is not pedantic. Apart from Mingyue Tower, there are many other industries in the south of the Yangtze River. Fourth Master Xu is in charge of the tea business.

Last year, a shop specializing in exotic tea came to Yangzhou city. The owner's surname is Wu. He got to know each other as soon as he went to do business. There happened to be a young girl in this shop. marriage.

The Wu family's shop is full of imported and precious tea. Although they are not as wealthy as the salt merchants in daily life, they have become a famous family in Yangzhou in a short period of time.

Fourth Mrs. Xu had seen the daughter of the Wu family several times at other people's banquets. Seeing that the girl was well dressed and treated people with a certain sense of propriety, she would occasionally speak foreign words that others could not understand, so she moved her mind and wanted to hire her back. To Master Sixth Xu.

Fourth master Xu was unwilling at the beginning. Mr. Xu Ge was a prime minister after all. During his term of office, although his sons and daughters were not from a high-ranking family, they were also from a noble family. How come Xu Xiaoliu married a businesswoman here? .

"Besides, if you want to find merchants, why don't you ask Brother Ruhai to match up and find those salt merchants, who are more wealthy than the Wu family." Fourth Master Xu was very straightforward, but he told Mrs. Fourth Xu to spit on her face.

"When you were still a father-in-law and a chancellor? Can the salt merchant take a fancy to you? Now this kind of family is pretty good, so you don't necessarily want to find a poor scholar to be your in-law?" Mrs. Xu Si only hated Xu Xiaoliu for not being born a few years earlier. , Just in time for these people to take tea to cool down.

Seeing the vivid dialogue here, Jiang Ling was a little speechless. Was this written by Lin Ruhai himself, or was it built into the system, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

To be reasonable, it will be OOC.

The serious marriage proposal went smoothly, and when it came to the dowry display day, the Wu family daughter's dowry was so rich that it was eye-catching. There were countless coral agates written on the list, and when the cage was opened, it was all made of high-end fabrics.

Fourth Mrs. Xu felt that she had married a God of Wealth and returned home, and her back was much stiffer. Even if the Wu family didn't bring back the Xu family's betrothal gift, she didn't care much.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu saw that something was wrong. The granddaughter-in-law wore these clothes and jewelry everywhere, or they were rewarded by the elders when she recognized her relatives.

The old lady had experienced many things with Xu Ge, and she became suspicious. She was a vigorous and decisive person. One day, she left her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to talk, and ordered her long-term confidant to go to the Wu family's daughter's library to find out.

It's okay if you don't touch it, but once you touch it, something will happen to her.

The materials are all covered with a layer on the outside, and the inside is coarse cloth. Those gold and silver faces have long since disappeared. In short, in short, if you look closely, they are all a bunch of fakes and low-quality products. of.

Because the woman's dowry is private property, Wu's daughter never expected that someone would pry her treasury, so she messed up at that time, and Mrs. Xu Si even chased her and beat her, saying she was going to divorce her.

After checking with her natal family, the Wu family had long since slipped away, leaving behind many creditors on credit. When people from the Xu family came, they all sought out this in-law's family.

If the dowry is low, the Xu family can't accept it. For example, Xu Xiaoer's daughter-in-law is still an orphan, and the dowry is subsidized by Mrs. Xu in private.

But pretending to be rich is a matter of character.

Xu Ge's father also recognized it, and ordered his family to pay off the Wu family's debts. The old lady reprimanded the Wu family's daughter again, and the ancestral hall was uncovered after kneeling for a few days.

It never occurred to Mrs. Xu Fourth that she hated and poisoned her daughter-in-law. She set the rules and punished her by kneeling. The family ancestral hall was hanged.

Then there are those creditors who spread the word all over the city with embellishments, saying that the Xu family is a mean family who is greedy for the woman's dowry, and they also satirize in fancy ways that stealing chickens can't make a fortune, and they met such liars.

There are even good-natured people who make up ballads, and the children will say a few words when they have nothing to do, such as "the daughter is fake, the fake daughter, once the Xu family dies."

The reputation of Mingyue Tower over the past ten years was almost destroyed.

Xu Ge always felt that his children and grandchildren were unworthy. When encountering such a thing, it was like the last straw on the camel's back. Mr. Xu, his wife, father and son would still make a scene in the mansion all day long, trying to survive the funeral of Wu's daughter. Then he fell ill.

Those who went to Beijing together, besides Lin Ruhai's people, there was also a reliable guard in front of Xu Ge. It's even more messy. You... If you can get away, go back and take a look, the old man will die if you just watch."

The gold belt that Mr. Xu Ge gave him bloomed just right in Jiangfu, but they told him that the old man who planted flowers was dying.

Who allowed you to bully our NPC like this?Has someone in Jiang agreed?

Jiang Ling said, "You stay here for now, I'll go to the palace to seek His Majesty's mercy."

Lin Ruhai's second steward, Lin Kuan, came to Lin Ruhai's house, and declined, "My master will be in Beijing to report on his duties soon. This time, besides delivering letters, I also came to tidy up the house. I appreciate Mr. Jiang's kindness. One more thing, I would like to ask Mr. Jiang if he can Ask the imperial concubine for a favor, and ask the princess to go out of the palace to meet the master at that time, there is no mistress in our house who can enter the harem to say hello, but after all, father and daughter are united."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about it, I will arrange it myself." Jiang Ling didn't talk to them, changed his official uniform and hurried into the palace.

Coincidentally, today is not in the imperial study, he and Shen Zhou are talking in the Tai Chi Hall.

The head eunuch personally exhibited pictures of girls of various ages, and introduced them to Shen Zhou one by one. Shen Zhou blew on the hot tea in his cup, resting his chin in one hand, and said calmly, "No, this fat one."

"Then look at this? The little princess of Dongping Wang's family is said to have a light body and can dance in the palm of his hand." The steward raised his hand, and the little eunuch untied the scroll of the little princess and handed it to him.

Shen Zhou didn't even look at it this time, "It's too thin to bear children, the imperial concubine said it."

Today I was about to criticize him, when I heard that Jiang Ling was in a hurry to see him, he said, "It's enough to announce him to come to Tai Chi Hall, Qianli is also the age to be engaged, so it's okay to have a look with Xiao Qi."

Hearing these words in the ears of everyone, they only felt that Mr. Jiang was in the heart of the emperor, and he couldn't be more simple. You must know that these are all noble ladies prepared for His Royal Highness, and Mr. Jiang can choose together.

Only His Highness was biting the rim of the cup calmly.

Ha ha.

After Jiang Ling entered the palace, he first saw the little Highness who tilted his head and looked at the beauty picture, and subconsciously softened his heart. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang has very good self-control, so he didn't delay in greeting the emperor.

He said the matter, "I implore Your Majesty, Yunchen will return to Yangzhou to take care of the teacher. If there is no teacher, there will be no minister today."

"Qianli, now is the time for the court to employ people." Jinshang pointed to those pictures of beauties, "I am preparing to choose a good wife for you. Isn't there Mrs. Lin involved in the matter of Mr. Xu?"

"Teacher is disrespectful to Chen Entong again. I'm afraid that if I don't go back this time, I won't be able to see him for the last time."

"After all, it's not the biological father and son. The biological father and son also have the theory of seduction." Jinshang suppressed his smile just now, "You are a person who knows the current affairs, don't let me down."

Before Jiang Ling could open his mouth, Shen Zhou spoke first. He said, "Father had a decree that those who hide their funerals and refuse to report them will be dismissed. Now, even though Master Jiang is not his own father and son, he is pure filial piety, so he can set an example for all officials and let others see him." Look, we also have people who know the etiquette, so don’t threaten your majesty with a little credit in the future. You have made money in front of the official, but you have to push the responsibility to the father’s arrogance. "

He blocked the two key names by himself.

I thought for a moment, "Forget it, don't tell you to hate me, I will reserve your position for you."

This promise is very strong. Many people have nowhere to go in their official careers after Ding You came back.Therefore, civil servants have always envied and hated military officials at this point, because military general Ding You did not dismiss his official post, but only gave him a holiday for mourning and so on.

Jiang Ling thanked him and was about to leave, but today he called Shen Zhou to go back, "Since you are not satisfied, I will send you some new ones tomorrow, I have to choose something that suits you."

Shen Zhou responded casually, and nodded towards Jiang Ling, "See you, Mr. Jiang."

"Your Highness, go slowly." Jiang Ling saw a little white hair protruding from his sleeves, and laughed dumbly, he probably won't really elope.

"It's fine if you go back to Yangzhou this time. It just so happens that I'm still hesitating about who to choose." I ordered a few booklets today and ordered the eunuch to pass them to him. Many of them lead to tragedies, you are young and nimble, and cooperated with the governor of Huaiyang to clear Jiangnan for me."

Jiang Ling said, "I'm young and my official position is not high. I'm afraid I'll disappoint His Majesty. Do you think it's better to send a prince to monitor for you? Or to show the people in the south of the Yangtze River a great grace."

"What you said is true, then the third..." Today remembering the matter of King Nan'an, whose Highness the Third Highness never appeared, he changed his words, "Xiaoqi, he has been to the south of the Yangtze River, so he can do things easily. "

"I have thanked Your Majesty." Jiang Ling thanked him this time with sincere feelings.

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Jiang Ling saw the little Highness wearing light green clothes squatting on the ground watching cats fluttering butterflies, stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness?"

"Your Majesty." Shen Zhou stopped looking at the cat, picked up the hairball and left, not caring that the little white cat got his hands full of dirt.
