Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

After Jia Huan returned to the house, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until the early morning of the next day. Just after breakfast, someone from the palace issued an order, ordering him to reflect on himself at home and not to step out of the house for two months.

The trip to the northwest was a mess, Jia Huan had expected that the emperor would punish him, so he was not surprised. After receiving the imperial decree, he stuffed a heavy purse into the eunuch and asked, "How is Prince Jin doing now?"

The eunuch was tactful, bowed and said, "Back to Mr. Jia, Prince Jin was also banned for one month. But..." After a pause, he lowered his voice and continued, "Anyway, sooner or later, this matter will cause trouble As you all know, it’s okay for the miscellaneous family to tell you first. The emperor is very disappointed with Prince Jin. He has dismissed his posts as inspector of the eight prefectures and imperial envoy of Gu Ming. A fictitious title of a prince."

"Have you ever gone to the palace to announce the decree?" Jia Huan asked again.

"Go to the prince to announce the decree first, and then arrive at the Rongguo Mansion."

"Is the prince okay?" Jia Huan handed over another purse, stuffed with a stack of banknotes.

The eunuch twisted it with his fingers, and smiled flatteringly, "Young Master Jia, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the prince. Although the emperor was furious for a while, he sent an imperial doctor to stay in the palace to take care of him. It can be seen that the prince has not completely lost his sacred heart." .”

Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction, ordered some small and exquisite items, and sent him out of the house.

After leaving Rongning Street, the eunuch whispered in the ear of one of his attendants, the attendant promised, slowly fell behind, and took the opportunity to leave quietly.Not long after, Cao Yongli got the news and hurried to the study.

The third prince was staring at the banner of 'Gold List Title' in a daze on the wall. It took a long while before he looked at Cao Yongli who was kneeling by the door. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse. "Is Huan'er all right?"

Cao Yongli made a bow and replied softly, "Eunuch Jiang said that the third master is very good. After receiving the imperial edict, he didn't look depressed or resentful, and his attitude was very flat." Then he laughed and said briskly, "He returned it to Jiang Father-in-law has given you a lot of benefits, and after asking about you, it can be seen that I have always remembered you in my heart."

"Yes, that's good. You step back." The third prince's heartstrings, which had been tensed all day and night, finally relaxed. He picked up the strategies, copybooks and other things left by the young man in the study room, and looked through them carefully, sitting down for a while. all day.

Prince Jin's mansion was in turmoil, but Jia's mansion exploded.Putting aside how Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng and others gloated, Aunt Zhao almost fainted when she heard the news. She pinched herself hard and asked, "What's going on? How can you be grounded properly? The palace examination at the end of April What should I do? Don't take the exam?"

"Of course I can't pass the exam." Jia Huan wiped the instrument knife with a silk cloth, his expression focused.

"It's not your responsibility to mess up the errand, how can the emperor do this, ruining your bright future with one sentence!" Aunt Zhao's eyes were red, and she kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief.Seeing that his son was about to win three yuan in a row, and was kicked off when he was only one step away from reaching the sky, the feeling of ups and downs was really not something ordinary people could bear.

But Jia Huan was not an ordinary person, his brows were not wrinkled, his mood was not disturbed, and his tone was very flat, "The exam will be the same after three years, don't worry."

"But Sister Tan will be 21 years old in three years. Don't worry, she is in a hurry!" Aunt Zhao cried even more fiercely, and sighed, "I wanted to wait for you to win the first prize of the Guangyao family, and replace Sister Tan." I'm looking for a good family. Now that your official career is hindered, and the person blocking you is still the emperor, it is very difficult for Miss Tan to marry a good family."

Jia Huan inserted the shimmering Yi knife into the scabbard, and said casually, "Why do you have to marry into a rich and deep house? Look at yourself, can you live happily in Jia's mansion? Marrying a family is simple and the family is well-off. Isn’t it good? There are no strict rules, no wives and concubines to fight, no intrigues, no filth, life is safe and easy, and the life expectancy is longer than others.”

Aunt Zhao slowly stopped crying, she raised her brows and pondered, and felt more and more that her son was right.

Only then did Jia Huan raise his head, and glanced faintly at the half-closed window.

Tan Chun was startled, and hurriedly left quietly with his servant book. After returning to the room, he sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, and after a while, he burst into tears.

"Girl, don't cry, be careful that Mr. Huan hears." The servant hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"If you hear it, you can hear it. What can he do to me? I still think he is promising, but I don't want to be a man who does not succeed in success but fails in success. There are so many big mistakes in the Northwest, so many senior ministers and ministers avoid them, and he ran to meddle in nothing. What's the point? I messed up my errand, and the only thing I can do is to be pushed out! Idiot! I don't care if I'm stupid, so why bother me!" Getting angry, Tanchun swept the dowry and cursed, "Call me! My majestic duke's daughter married into a poor family and lived a life without clothes and food, thanks to him being able to speak out! I would rather twist my hair and be a sister-in-law than give in!"

"But now Mr. Huan's official career is hindered, and Aunt Zhao is born in a family with limited horizons and contacts. No matter how anxious you are, there is nothing you can do about it, right? Come, drink some rose dew and calm your mind." The secretary advised in a low voice.

Tanchun brushed away the fragrant dew, covered his face and wept, "How can I be so miserable! Such aunts and brothers at the booth have never lived a day of comfort! If I had known this, I shouldn't have come here in the first place. There is no benefit, but it is nothing I've been dragged down! If my wife was still there, how could I have fallen into such a situation..."

The waiter wiped away tears while tidying up his things.Neither of them noticed that Aunt Zhao stood outside the door for a long time, and finally tore off the generous dowry list in her hand, and left with a livid face.

The two-month period is neither long nor short, enough to change the number of days in Daqing.

The affair between the crown prince and Qu Zehou broke out, implicating hundreds of officials.In the Northwest officialdom, from first-rank officials to low-level officials, none of them could save their lives. If all of them were executed, the Northwest government would be paralyzed.The emperor had to draw a death line of 2 taels. Even so, there were still 80 to [-] people who were beheaded.

Prince Jin, who re-entered the court, was deprived of all real power due to his inability to handle affairs, and became a short prince.The four princes took their place, appointed supervisors, Gu Ming imperial envoys, ministers of the Ministry of Punishments, and bestowed Shang Fang with a sword to take the lead in thoroughly investigating the major Northwest case.

Then the prince fought back with his last breath, exposing to the emperor that the four princes united with the seven princes and eight princes to accept bribes, sell their officials and nobles, and said that the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River was controlled by the four princes. The son opened the door for convenience, and was secretly placed in an important position. Even Meng Guliang, the Minister of the Guard and Internal Affairs, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, and Jiang Jingwei, the Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, secretly obeyed the orders of the fourth prince.

The emperor was furious, and immediately replaced several people, and recalled Prince Teng, the governor of the nine provinces who was patrolling the southern border, to thoroughly investigate the major Northwest case and Jiangnan fraud case.In just ten days, Wang Ziteng was re-elected Minister of Criminal Affairs, Chief Minister of Military Affairs, and Bachelor of Baohedian.

The Qu family ransacked the family and exterminated the family; the prince was deposed and demoted to a commoner; Queen Qu was thrown into the cold palace and committed suicide.The fourth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince are confined in the forbidden mansion, and they will never leave without purpose.

The Northwest and Jiangnan officialdoms were completely cleaned up, and because of the leakage of the test questions of the current subject, all the candidates involved in the incident were dismissed, and the scores of the others were invalidated.There was an extreme shortage of people in the court, and the emperor had to send out all the officials who stayed in the middle of the capital to wait for the vacancies, and promoted a large number of people from the grassroots officials to take up real positions. Only then did the crisis in the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River be resolved.

After this incident, the emperor aged rapidly, revealing the meaning of the Zen position faintly.Those who are interested count all the princes carefully, only to realize that the eldest prince, fourth prince, seventh prince, and eighth prince are all imprisoned; the second prince is deposed;However, the actions of the fifth prince have always been absurd and unpopular. In addition, his mother and concubine died early, so he has no help, so he is no match for the ninth prince.

After the matter calmed down, the emperor really named the ninth prince the Prince of Yiyong, and ordered him to go to the Ministry of Household for training. Then he promoted Concubine Rong to the title of Royal Concubine Rong, granted the seal of phoenix, managed the harem affairs on her behalf, and supported Concubine Rong's mother's family. The meaning of the prince's momentum.

With such a move, the ministers still had something they didn't understand, and they turned to the Ninth Prince one after another.

??

Not only did the situation of the Daqing Dynasty change suddenly, but even the Rongguo Mansion was turned upside down.Mrs. Wang, who was dispatched to her hometown in Jinling because of the prince's vacation of the throne, finally ushered in her first day.

"Girl, have you heard? My wife is coming back!" The waiter ran into the door panting.

"Her face..." Tanchun was startled.

"I heard that Mr. Wang found a genius doctor in southern Xinjiang, who removed the toxins from his wife's body. Yesterday, Mrs. Wang came to visit the old lady to discuss the matter of welcoming her back."

"What does the old lady mean?" Tanchun squeezed the handkerchief tightly, his voice trembling.

"My wife's natal family is powerful now, can give the second master Bao a lot of help, and can suppress the third master Huan, the old lady is naturally very willing." The servant said worriedly.

Tanchun bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Take out all the good things in my private treasury, and let's visit Baoyu and Sister-in-law Feng."

"How do you explain to Master Huan and Aunt Zhao?" Shi Shu hesitated.

"I'm eighteen. Which girl can't get married after eighteen? If you want to explain, it's up to them to explain to me!" Tanchun sneered, and went behind the screen to change clothes.

When they stepped into Baoyu's room, they saw him lying on the table, sucking a pile of white powder with a small bamboo tube, with an obsessed expression on his face.A group of gorgeous actors surrounded her, smiling coquettishly.

Nowadays, the noble children all have the habit of taking Wushisan. Tanchun didn't think it was strange, and he smiled when he finished enjoying it, "Baoyu, how are you doing recently?"

"Third sister is here, please sit down quickly." Baoyu fell into the arms of an actress and panted.

In the past three years, Baoyu lost a lot of weight and her face was very pale.Even though Jia Huan was also pale, there was a chilly aura lingering around him, making him seem very difficult to provoke.Unlike Baoyu, he is weak at first glance.Tanchun sized him up unobtrusively, frowning secretly.

The effect of Wushi's scattered desire to celestial beings was gone, so Baoyu opened his eyes, put on the embroidered robe, and said, "Third sister came at an unlucky time, I have an appointment with Prince Yiyong, and I will leave the mansion immediately. Please Go back." He is no longer the ignorant boy who cried every day without his sisters and suffered from insomnia every night.I haven't come to visit for three years, but it's too late to come back at this time.

"That's really unfortunate." Tanchun forced a smile, stopped at the door, and asked, "I heard that my wife is coming back? When?"

Baoyu's spirit was lifted, she squinted her eyes and smiled, "I'll be back at the beginning of next month, and I'll go to Jinling to pick her up myself."

"Yeah, I'm finally coming back. It's great. Be careful on the way..." After walking out of the Chuhuamen, Tanchun came back from his trance, and walked worriedly to Lian's Second Grandma's yard.

When Wang Xifeng heard that Tanchun was visiting, she sent her away without showing her face, but kept all the valuable gifts.

Tanchun came back frustrated, upset, but Aunt Zhao called her into the room and scolded her, "Why did you go to see Jia Baoyu again? Don't you remember how miserable he caused you? Did you hear that My wife is coming back, and I have the idea of ​​clinging again? My temple here is small, and after all, there is no room for a big Buddha like you! If you want to leave, just ask!"

"My wife is my mother-in-law. I should respect her. How could it become clinging?" Tanchun screamed in shock, with a resentful expression on her face, "Don't you look at how old I am this year, I'm not even sure of a decent family. Next! You can't help me, and you don't allow me to plan for myself?"

"Didn't I find it for you! Come and see, they are all good people." Aunt Zhao was short of breath in an instant, and handed over a roster.

"Merchant, scholar, petty official, squire... This is what you call a good family? Why don't you just assign me to a servant? I am the third girl from Rongguo Mansion, a decent official lady, not a lowly one. Let's have a baby!" Tanchun's voice suddenly turned up, and before Aunt Zhao could distinguish, he lifted the curtain and rushed out, saw Jia Huan standing in the courtyard wielding a knife, and smiled coldly, "You still have time to wield a knife and a gun, I don't know what's going on outside. What has become of you? It is said that you and the Prince of Jin were indulging in pleasure and ruined the errands, which caused him to fight with the fifth prince. The emperor regards you as a treacherous and sycophant, but he is concerned about your descendants of Duke Jia. Because you saved Prince Jin twice, you didn't kill you, but blocked your official career. Now that the Ninth Prince is about to take the throne, the third and fifth princes are having a hard time, but they can no longer protect you Already! Didn’t you find out that the third prince lifted the ban enough to come and not even ask you? Three years later, you will be admitted to the imperial examination, so you should save yourself as soon as possible!”

Jia Huan raised a ceremonial knife and split a piece of wood as thick as two arms in half, and then split it into pieces horizontally. Then he squinted at her with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

"You can smile vigorously, sooner or later you will cry!" Tanchun gritted his teeth and left.

"Come here, help Jia Tanchun move the yard, how did you get here back then, and how do you get out now, don't take anything that doesn't belong to her!" Jia Huan said lightly.

The servants bowed to accept their orders, and immediately 'invited' the third girl out.

Now, Aunt Zhao couldn't care about her daughter anymore, and asked impatiently, "Huan'er, is Miss Tan's story true? Are you really Prince Jin's prostitute?"

"I'm not his pet," Jia Huan danced the ceremonial knife with a careless attitude, "but our relationship is indeed extraordinary. Auntie, I only like men, and I only get hard on men, so this You don't plan to marry a wife in your life, and you won't have children, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Aunt Zhao swayed, rolled her eyes, and passed away.
