Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

Speaking up to this point, probably no one has thought that it is still necessary to stick to the hard bone of Jiangnan.At this time, there were still three days on the waterway from the pier in the suburbs of Beijing, and the tall boat of the Zhen family was slowly approaching.

Zhen Yingjia, who was about to be promoted, was sitting in front of the boat window, holding several letters in her hand.Some of these letters came from Jiangning Mansion, and some came from the capital.Although he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he knows everything about what happened in the capital.But the one that concerned him the most among these letters was the one that mentioned the whereabouts of the former subordinate's son.

Zhen Yingjia looked at the contents of the letter and pondered slightly: since Wen Li died of illness, it has been a long time since Wen Li has seen this surname.Now his heirs have returned to their ancestral home, and are even going to take part in the imperial examination?In my impression, Wen Li once mentioned that his son is not a reading material, he only knows how to eat, drink and play all day long.

Now that he is so motivated, could it be that the prodigal son turned around?If he gets fame, he can make this young man miserable for the rest of his life with just one word.It's just a pity that it can't be cleaned up so easily now.

He sighed, and took out the letter from Rongguo Mansion.The superior said that Wen Yishu had a good relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Gong, but Zhen Yingjia felt it was a falsehood.The backer behind this son should be His Royal Highness King Zhao.As for how the two met?Mr. Zhen stroked his beard and looked towards the stern of the boat, and he was only in Jiangnan for a while.

At that time, Binglai's incident happened suddenly, Zhen Yingjia was busy dealing with it, and didn't think much about it.After thinking about it, I think it was too coincidental, what happened by chance in the street, making decisions for the people, no matter how you look at it, it was all arranged.If it turns around in one or two days, he can see the flaws in it by comparison.The victory of this plan lies in being caught off guard!

The arrangement of Bingyou's murder of a substitute was kept secret, and there was no leak. The matter of Taihuitan buying a girl and giving it to King Xian was also an old calendar.Those who can leak it should be very close people.Zhen Yingjia's first reaction at the time was that someone around Taihuitan leaked the secret, how could he think that Wen Li, who was already dead, could give him a favor.

They asked someone to investigate, and they found out that Wen Yishu had been hiding in Yaqiu Academy after his father's death.What a Ji Lin from Yaqiu Academy, usually quiet and obsessed with learning.The ability to pull bridges and wires for students is so skillful.Without the dean's help, Wen Jiazi and King Zhao would definitely not be able to meet each other.

Thinking that he has been in the officialdom for many years, but he was torn off by this yellow-mouthed kid with such a small trick, he really couldn't swallow this breath.

Zhen Yingjia thought that in front of Wen Li, he treated Wen's family well.Even after hearing the ceremony, he didn't know good and bad, and always wanted to be a straight and upright official with a clean sleeve, and he also cared about his old relationship and didn't do anything to him.Now it's good, that kid from the Wen family didn't know how to be grateful and beat him up.

Also, King Zhao was not sensible, so he handed it over when he handed it over.Who would have thought that this person would still engage in such stern and selfless tricks when he returned to the capital, and he never took to heart the words that persuaded him at the banquet.Could it be that he really thinks that he is the prince, so there is nothing he can do?Even if the prince sees him, he has to treat him with three points of courtesy!

The son of a stepmother...

Zhen Yingjia snorted coldly, and read: "I really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

This time I went to Beijing to report on my work, I might as well teach a lesson or two, if they don't know how to receive the materials, don't blame myself for being rude.Thinking of it this way, Zhen Yingjia also felt a little bit sad.I only sigh that I am getting older and no longer as sharp as when I was young.Many tricks are too old to recognize.

Feeling so emotional, he looked at the vast river and wanted to write a poem to express his mind.Just as one or two was brewing, the steward of the Zhen family who was going to Beijing at the same time came into the cabin.So I had to put down my pen and ask what was going on.

The housekeeper's name is Zhen Sui, and he has worked in Zhen's residence for half his life.When going out on the Jiangning Mansion Street, everyone would bow down to salute him.Because of Zhen Yingjia's trust, she was by her side almost all the time.

He entered the cabin and reported: "My lord, we will land on the shore in less than three days. Let me report from the other side of Beijing. Although one or two people are missing, I also know who the backer of Wen's family is."

Zhen Yingjia nodded and said casually, "King Zhao?"

Zhen Sui bowed and praised: "Master is wise."

"There's no need to follow, the blind and lame ones at home can't do anything. What else?"

Zhen Sui got the order, and said: "There is also the case of the Yinzhuang, which has been dragged on for a long time. Can the master give you instructions?"

Zhen Yingjia was reading with tortoise-shell glasses, but now she pulled the tortoise-shell glasses from her nose and stared at Zhen Sui with her mouth curled up, "You've been living longer and going back. It's a small merchant, and I need to worry about it." ?”

The butler showed a little shyness, rubbed his hands and reluctantly said: "This should not be bothering the master. It's just that this matter involves my useless son-in-law, so I have to ask with a shy old face."

As expected, the root of Yinzhuang is in the south of the Yangtze River.The shopkeeper is Zhen Sui's son-in-law.Taking advantage of the power of his father-in-law, this person squeezed out other traders and became the largest firm in the area.The land in the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than this rich, so he came to Beijing and did the business with the fastest money.

Who would have thought that this time it was so unfortunate that it caused a small trouble.This son-in-law is nothing more than a hypocritical person, seeing that there is nowhere to manage in Beijing, he was afraid that he would be found out, so he immediately came to beg his father-in-law.

Zhen Yingjia clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and reprimanded: "Your son-in-law has borrowed your prestige to do so many days of angry things. Now that he touches the tiger stool, he should learn a lesson!"

Zhen Sui nodded again and again, "The master's teaching is the same, and the family training is the same. It's just that children are a piece of their parents' hearts. Now that he is about to suffer, I... can't help."

"I really haven't seen the world," Zhen Yingjia spat, "It's just a small village head, if it's gone, it will be gone. Why are you so nervous? You just ask him to clean up the head and tail, of course you can't find him. After the limelight is over, are you afraid that you won't have any money?"

In fact, Zhen Sui thought the same way, but he didn't want his daughter to suffer, so he was unavoidably frightened.Now that I got the master's word, I have a bottom line in my heart, and immediately said: "The master taught me a lesson, thank you very much!"

"Forget it, you go down," Zhen Yingjia waved his hand, waited for a while, and then called the person back, "You have prepared the gift, and when I get to Beijing, I have to meet my old in-laws. Things should not be thin, Do you know?"

Zhen Sui nodded and bowed, and laughed along with him: "You don't need to be ordered by the master, the good things have already been obtained."

"That's it. Jia's family and our family are old relatives for many years, honor and disgrace are shared together. If you neglect one or two, your master and I will also take the blame," Zhen Yingjia said with emotion.Just thinking of another matter, he couldn't help sighing: "Although that's the case, this relationship is only between two people. After a layer of separation, it is inevitable to become unfamiliar."

Zhen Sui observed his words and expressions, and immediately knew what his master was referring to, and said, "Master, there is no need to worry. That Lin Hai is always the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, and he couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, so he told the old lady Jia to teach him a lesson, and he knew it Master's painstaking."

"I think Tan Hualang was born, so I can't help but feel a little angry. He looks like Wenli, and it's disgusting to see," Zhen Yingjia snorted, and said, "His ancestors are also Liehou, so why can't he see the situation clearly. "

Without waiting for Zhen Sui to agree, Zhen Yingjia sighed: "That's all, I just asked him to suffer a little bit on the salt tax, so he also came to beg me. I think he was so powerful at the time when he heard the ceremony, didn't he also fill in most of his family's property to make up for it?" Hole. Let me see if Lin Ruhai doesn't have the salt merchants rushing to fawn on him, where can he find money!"

Indeed, as Zhen Yingjia said, Lin Hai, the master of Yangzhou salt class, has had a hard time recently.There is no other reason, because when checking old accounts from previous years, this master Lin found a big hole.The big hole made Lin Hai feel at a loss.When I wanted to take over by myself, it was clear that the books were in balance and clean.

But now it looks so unbearable!

At this time, he really believed Wen Yishu's words, and believed that Wen Li was tortured to death in office.

He originally had doubts about taking refuge in King Zhao to clean up the officialdom, but the current situation is not a matter of standing.As long as the matter is exposed, he is afraid that the lives of the whole family will be lost!If this is the case, it is better to take refuge in King Zhao and give it a go, saying that there is no way out!

Thinking of Zhao Wang Liangyu stopping the prince who came to blackmail him, Lin Hai was grateful but also understood.This is a kindness that attaches equal importance to kindness and might. If you don't know good from bad, then you may have already prepared the killing stick.

Throughout the ages, those in positions of authority have surrendered to those who would not obey.

Lin Hai already intended to submit, but what finally shook him was the correspondence with his daughter.After he mentioned in his heart that he was going to take his daughter home, the tone of his daughter's letter was clearly more joyful than before, and it was many times better than the usual report of good news but not bad news.

Moreover, when Dao Linhai sent his beloved daughter to Beijing, he was obviously discouraged, thinking that the Yue family would treat their daughter well, so he didn't pay much attention to it.Why pay more attention now?This is the idea of ​​Wen Yishu.

Because King Zhao had many correspondences with Lin Hai, he didn't do anything else, but collected what he saw and heard in Jia's mansion and sent it to Lin Ruhai.

What he wrote was fragmentary, but he exaggerated a lot the gossip in Jia's mansion.For example, the comparison between Hakka girls, what eats and lives for free, what gold is not gold, jade is not jade, and wood is not wood.They are all specious, but extremely heart-wrenching words.Lin Ruhai felt angry when he saw it.

However, this kid was still not satisfied, so he added a paragraph viciously: I don't know if Master Lin can think of arrangements for his daughter after his death?Could it be that the betrothal to the second son of the Jia family really meant to facilitate good things?Now that even I, an outsider, knows this, I am afraid that these words are already conclusive, and they are what Master Lin thinks in his heart.

The world is pressing, if you don't fight, you will die. If you fight hard, there may be a way out.Even for the sake of his only daughter, Lin Hai had to put away his heart of not caring about the political struggle.

The author has something to say: What happened on Weibo recently is really disappointing.I think it's so dark today!so sad...
