The Jade of the Red Chamber

Shui Yang left Beijing in a hurry this time, and didn't even care about Zhenyu's affairs, but it was because of the Zhen family.

The vacancy left by Lin Ruhai's coming to Beijing was finally taken over by Mr. Gu, the capital's transfer envoy, Si Yun envoy.However, at the critical moment, three or four large salt merchants in Zhen's family used the salt that his family was in charge of to distribute, and it happened that the second-tier salt was mixed with sand. For him, the Zhen family was very busy with the aftermath, but his family was deeply rooted, and this incident could not shake the foundation.

Today, however, he does not intend to bear it any longer, and wants to seize this opportunity to pull out a bunch of stinky fish from the Jiangnan Salt Administration, and lay out the secret line.Among them, the important and confidential work is naturally handed over to my own brother.

The Zhen family still doesn't know what their plans are going to be, but they still want to get involved in the Jiangnan Salt Administration. What's the point of only holding a few shares of Yan Yin? The position of Shi Yunshi is held in the palm of his hand, and most of the salt merchants in Jiangnan are leaning on their home, so what about the officials at the top, the Yangzhou Salt Administration is still surnamed Zhen!

Furthermore, this person naturally doesn't need Master Zhen's family to sit in person, just a member of the family he likes, and Master Zhen can also spare his hands to "catch up" with old acquaintances in the capital!The Zhen family felt that their family was defeated in the capital because their power was too shallow and they had no support.

Rongguo Mansion is naturally the first choice. I heard that although the eldest daughter of his family has been demoted, she is still the emperor's favorite. Well, the Lin family and the Wang family are also in-laws of the Rongguo Mansion, aren't they a "big tree"!

It was the year of the Supreme Emperor's birthday, and the Zhen family members came to Beijing to congratulate them. They had to send gifts to each family to say hello, and they also went to the Lin Mansion, but Lin Ruhai still claimed that he was sick, and did not even accept the gifts.Knowing this, Jia's family was very displeased, and Mother Jia even posted a few times to ask Ru Hai to go through the mansion to tell her about it. Today is different, Ru Hai's heart has been exhausted because of the last sympathy for Rong Mansion from his late wife Jia Min. How can he be called around by such a dignified second-rank official like him? !

Therefore, Lin Fu only sent people to decline Rong Fu's invitation due to busy business, and they didn't even see Lin Zhenyu's face. Why don't you persuade your master! The friendship between the Zhen family and us for several lifetimes doesn't even give this a bit of dignity? Your master is so old, I shouldn't say him, but the relatives and elders are watching He just took this "independence" way and didn't talk about it, wouldn't he be harmed! Even if he is sick and can't see you, your uncle should come out to meet the elders of Zhen's family, at least he has done his best! Go, go! You go Tell your master what I said, let him think about it, your family is weak, should you have relatives to help you?! I know that your master and uncle are busy people, and I don’t If you disturb them, just send Daiyu and Fuyu to accompany me for two days."

Lin Fu didn't say yes or no, he bowed respectfully and left.On the way, Swing asked his father: "Are you really going back to the master?"

Lin Fu glanced at him, and said angrily: "Your father and I are old with dim eyesight and poor ears. The old lady of the Jia family speaks so fast, how can I, a poor old man, hear clearly? Remember?! Thinking about it, it doesn't really matter. Forget it, it's important to go back and check last month's account, so I have to send it to the girl quickly."

Swing sticks out his thumb, his father is so righteous and confident, inconsistent!

In fact, Mother Jia is also anxious. She is old and mature, and she has learned a lot from the Duke-in-law's side in the early years. It can be said that most of the Jia family is supported by her now.The eldest son is no good, and the second son is too upright to turn corners. Although she is not proficient in court affairs, she has a good sense of smell and eyes. Mother Jia only feels that the recent wind is not in the right direction.

The hole card that held back the Lin family was gone, but she couldn't expose it until it was confirmed that it was the Lin family's fault. She could only pretend that Aunt Zhou was still there this week. She didn't know what Lin Ruhai thought, but this Lin Zhenyu was too glaring. He's obviously a humble guy, but now he's better than her Baoyu... the wife who comes to see her often asks about him!Jia's mother tightened her fingers, the Lin family is not easy to offend now, so let's wait for the future.

It seems that the Lin family intends to distance themselves from the Jia family, and the Wang family's intention is also unclear. Some time ago, the empress had such a big incident, and his family didn't come to say anything, let alone help.Jia Mu was worried in her heart. The four major families have always been hugged together. Now the Wang family, which has the most outstanding posture, shows signs of drifting away. Therefore, Jia Mu is bound to win over historians tightly. A historian with two lords Although he doesn't have much real power in the court, he is a hundred times better than the Xue family, and the Xue family can't let go, at least his family still has a lot of money.

Mother Jia repeatedly sent people to pick up the sisters of the historian, but every time she only picked up Shi Xiangyun. Although the historian flattered that he was close to the Rongguo Mansion, he was reluctant to let the girls go to his house. Well, the girls from the Shi family dress more plainly and don't want to go to another house, but Xiangyun is cheerful and straightforward and doesn't care about these things, so he puts his hands aside and doesn't care about them.

Shi Xiangyun lived in Jia's family and was very happy. At the beginning, he said that he would leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for Daiyu.Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the closest to Yihong Courtyard. Xiangyun has always liked "Love Brother, Love Brother" called Jia Baoyu. The two have known each other since childhood, and now they are even closer.

It’s just that Xiangyun is straightforward, and he always says something like “working at home until the third watch” and “doing for others at 01:30, aunts and girls are not used.” It’s okay once or twice. Those with shallow eyelids looked down on Miss Shijia even more, and even Jia Mu was a little displeased, but Xue Baochai was gentle and considerate, and thought about everything with her, and the "sister, sister" of Xiangyun Town became closer to her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and a big incident happened in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zhen family was confiscated for crimes such as neglecting human life, being short-lived, embezzled, accepting bribes, overstepping the system, and bullying others by members of the Zhen clan, and returned to Beijing for punishment!

Mother Jia didn't finish listening, her heart was beating so hard that she hurriedly waved her hands to stop Madam Wang from talking.

Mrs. Wang was also very frightened, she felt short of breath and dizzy. This morning Jia Zheng came back from the outside in a hurry. Before Mrs. Wang was happy, she told the mansion newspaper in his hand that she was scared out of her wits. The Zhen family was convicted and ransacked .Mrs. Wang didn't know what to do, so she came to ask Jia Mu for instructions.

Mother Jia regained her breath, lay on the couch, and said weakly: "Let's not worry about other people's affairs, and discuss that it is serious for us to enjoy the moon on August [-]th." Then she asked them to step back.

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, so she was busy going down. After returning to the room, she ordered the whole family not to mention the Zhen family. She waited anxiously for a few days. Feeling relieved, when Yuan Chun sent the little eunuch to pick up the banknote, he also sent a message: "It's okay, I have you." Only then did Mrs. Wang get better.

Mother Jia was not so optimistic in her heart. The Zhen family and the Jia family made their fortunes together in the early days, with similar foundations and connections. Over the years, the masters of the Zhen family have skills and talents, and the Zhen family has more power than the Rongguo Mansion.Such a big family collapsed as soon as it was said, and there was no news beforehand, so it didn't look like it.

Jia's mother changed her usual style of an old lady and ran to the banquets diligently, but everyone in the city said that the Zhen family fell so quickly because they blamed themselves. Is it not big enough? Zhen's family didn't think so, another child in the clan killed someone, and that family went to Beijing to appeal for grievances.

Mother Jia heard that it was his family's own problem, and she was relieved that it had little to do with others.

In a few days, several women and mothers-in-law of Zhen's family came to the door in a panic, looking pale, and there were some things.Mother Jia didn't want to see them at first, but she wanted to know something from them, so she closed the door with Mrs. Wang and talked for a while.

The matter of the Zhen family was settled, Master Zhen and several guilty men were exiled, the female relatives and servants and maidservants who were charged with the crime were sold, and some others were released, but the Zhen family property was confiscated, and life may pass. Very difficult.

……

Lin Zhenyu was too young, and although he was appointed editor, it was not his turn to make edicts, annals, and literature. The head of the Imperial Academy treated Lin Zhenyu well, so he shared a small room with him. Asking him to be in charge of compiling the history of the country, meeting the requirements, etc., is actually just finding out the pages of the old anthology, revising and copying them again, and handing him some copies of the edicts and laws of the previous dynasty for his study.

Lin Zhenyu felt helpless looking at the figure sitting on the teacher's chair next to the desk, when did this person learn these rogue tricks?

Shui Yang leaned back on the grand teacher's chair in a grand manner, holding the file and reading it with gusto, not caring that the black air above the head of the person beside him had already permeated the whole room.

Endured and endured, Zhenyu couldn't bear it anymore, put down the brush, stretched out her foot and kicked the man's chair: "Hey! You have been with me for four days! You sneak into this room every day like a thief. Come on, is your lord Jing so free?"

Shui Yang glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.Zhenyu is so angry, hey, this man has a rich facial expression for him to see!

Shui Yang said slowly: "Who told you to hide in the den as soon as you rest and take a bath, I will send someone to pick you up, um, afraid of the heat..."

Zhenyu wants to cry but has no tears. The two of them haven't determined the relationship yet. Why does it seem that he has become this person's exclusive property?

Shui Yang turned around with a serious expression, and his tone was neither urgent nor slow, but his tone was very gloomy: "People who are afraid of heat will take their younger brothers and sisters to the village in the suburbs the next day? I heard Zhou Shilang told Lin's eldest son Very satisfied, always praised."

He did this unethically, but why is it so uncomfortable for a few days? Zhenyu said helplessly: "Uncle is praising his nephew, my mother, uncle and father all know that I am Unintentional."

Shui Yang nodded in satisfaction, picked up the teacup and took a sip, Zhenyu looked at the teacup that should belong to him resentfully, swallowed her throat, she was in a panic, got up and reached for it and drank it in one gulp, ordering Shui Yang: "Make me another cup of tea!" It's no surprise to drink some tea that other people have drunk. In the previous life, a dozen boys drank a bottle of water, and it's not wrong!Zhenyu comforted herself like this, but her neck and ears turned red.

Shui Yang got up to make another cup of tea for him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, showing a very comfortable smile.Well, only one teacup is good.

After laughing a few words, Lin Zhenyu lowered her head to copy the pages of the book carefully, while Shui Yang continued to sit on the grand teacher's chair and read the file.

Coincidentally, there are no errands these few days, and Zhenyu is a little awkward and always reluctant to see him, Shui Yang simply put on the official uniform of the Imperial Academy, and came in generously every day, anyway, although the Imperial Academy is noble, the official position is real. It’s not that big, the one who met him is the academician of the academy, but he has already calculated that Zhenyu’s small room is so remote, there may not be a person passing by in a day, and he will not cause Zhenyu any trouble here .While reading the file, Shui Yang was thinking of finding some good items to visit "uncle". This relationship still needs to be established well. Both Zhou Shilang's brother and he appreciate him.

Lin Zhenyu was writing furiously on the desk, yelling to tell Shui Yang to leave quickly, but in his heart he still liked to be here with him, the child who had never smelled "meat" in two lifetimes was shy...

When it was almost time to go to Sanya, Zhenyu packed up the files and books, and when they were almost gone, they talked with Shui Yang, and the two got in the car and went to Taibaiju. The person next to him said, "You haven't been to my place for so long since you've been in Beijing?"

Zhenyu smiled and said: "Isn't it suitable now? The Zhen family has just been convicted, and those people are uneasy! If they knew that I knew you, wouldn't they have to trample on the threshold of the house? Don't ask others to talk, father and I'm most impatient with this."

He asked again: "The Zhen family has collapsed? I heard from my uncle that the property of the Zhen family was not very rich, and the crime of the Zhen family seems to have been lowered."

Shui Yang raised his eyebrows and said with disdain for the Zhen family: "The Zhen family has collapsed, and the old factions are still there. If the conviction is too serious, it will be a startling start. Besides, the Zhen family's wealth is nothing more than that. It's in several other places!"
