'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Daiyu was very happy to hear the news that Lin Ruhai was staying in Beijing, and ordered the kitchen to prepare some delicate side dishes. (Online Games: Bullets) When Lin Ruhai comes back, including her and Lin Dian, the family of three will celebrate together.

In order to celebrate that the family of three can be stationed in the capital safely in the future, the father and daughter made an exception to drink and celebrate.Lin Dian also made a fuss about drinking, but Daiyu couldn't stand him, so she only allowed him to drink a small cup of plum wine.After drinking this small cup, Lin Dian blushed and started talking nonsense.

"Father, you shouldn't be betrothing my eldest sister, that Gu Ling is not worthy of my eldest sister!" Lin Dian shouted while standing on a stool, holding a glass of wine.

Lin Ruhai just took a bite of the food, when he heard the words, he almost spit out the food.Could it be that Lin Dian has heard someone say that Gu Ling is not good?He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and asked Lin Dian why he said this.

"I, only I am worthy of eldest sister! If elder sister marries me, our family will be together forever. I don't want elder sister to marry!" Lin Dian pouted, blushing like an apple. After saying these words, little sister The body staggered and fell backward.Mrs. Ding accepted it, and took Lin Dian back to her room to rest.

Lin Dian Tong's words were outrageous, which made Lin Ruhai laugh out loud.

Daiyu blushed, and scolded with a smile: "No matter how good this guy is at reading, he is just a child at heart, and he only talks nonsense; if outsiders listen to it, he will be laughed at."

"Oh, it's all my family, it's okay."

Lin Ruhai looked at her precious daughter with a smile, no matter how beautiful she looked, no wonder children like Lin Dian liked it.His daughter has both virtue, talent, and good looks. Whoever marries her will be blessed in eight lifetimes. That kid Gu Ling is taking advantage of it.

Daiyu heard that Lin Ruhai was staying in Beijing as an official, and he was still a very important official, so she couldn't help worrying after she was happy.Since the ancient saying "A companion is like a tiger", after Lin Ruhai became a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he must always accompany the saint, if there is a slight difference, touch the wrong tiger's butt, is it okay?

The Qing Dynasty here is an overhead dynasty. The country’s operating system is similar to the Qing Dynasty in history in some places but also different in some places. There are also traces of the Ming Dynasty and Tang Dynasty in the system. (Mr. Misfortune of online game) The Qing Dynasty here has ruled the Central Plains for more than [-] years. The fortune of the country is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.However, the peace is also accompanied by worries, such as the problems of government corruption and aristocratic arbitrariness are also very prominent.In addition to these, there is another great worry, which is also an inevitable struggle in the royal family since ancient times-the battle for the reserve position.

The current emperor is nearly forty years old, and his body is still in good shape.He had nine sons in total, except for the five princes who died, there were eight princes in total.The first prince, 25, born of the empress, was established as a prince, and has since been imprisoned in Luoyang for the crime of treason; the second prince, 21 years old, born of the concubine Dai; The noble concubine was born; the sixth prince and the seventh prince were seven and six years old respectively, and they were born by Concubine Shu; the eighth prince, who was two years old, was born by concubine Wan;

Among the nine princes, from the sixth son onwards, they are all relatively young, not yet qualified to compete for the crown prince.Therefore, the court ministers mainly supported the Second Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who each had their own parties and supporters; the most powerful of them was the Third Prince who was born of the empress, and the voice of supporting him as the Prince was the highest among the ministers.However, since the emperor experienced his eldest son's rebellion, he seemed to have become wary of rats. Since the prince was deposed, he hadn't established a reserve for three years, and he watched the ministers in the court with a cold eye.

What Daiyu is most worried about is that Lin Ruhai will be forced to stand in line when she just became an official. No one can say for sure about the prince's struggle. Once she takes the wrong position, she will be in danger.

Seeing Daiyu's sad face, Lin Ruhai asked why, and after hearing her daughter's frankness with her.Lin Ruhai stroked his beard with a smile, patted Daiyu's hand and said: "The emperor is the emperor after all, and he will not sit firmly on the throne without some means. Do you think it has been two months since I came to Beijing for my father? Canonize me until today? During this period of time, he must have pondered and assessed several times before making a decision. What he values ​​is not only the ability to be a father, but also the simple and clean background of our Lin family. He has only one purpose for keeping me, I hope that I will be a courtier who is only loyal to him, just like Taifu Gu."

Master Gu?Daiyu nodded understandingly.Indeed, Grand Tutor Gu is considered a strange flower in the imperial court. Although he taught the knowledge of the six princes (the eighth prince and the ninth prince don't need to be taught temporarily when they are young), he never got close to any prince.It is definitely a magical existence to find a check and balance point among the three major factions and survive. (Fairy God Yi)

Now, Lin Ruhai will also join the ranks of Gu Taifu's balance point.

Lin Ruhai was afraid that Daiyu would be worried, so he comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. Speaking of it, among several factions, naturally your father, me and your future father-in-law are the safest. Who can fight against the emperor?"

Don't look at the emperor conniving at the chaos of the princes in the court, in fact, he has always been the manipulator behind the scenes.No matter how hard the princes fight, the ultimate winner can only be the emperor.The emperor's city is unfathomable, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people like them can casually guess.

Lin Ruhai firmly believed in this, as well as in his ability to judge people.

Daiyu nodded, she didn't personally participate in the court affairs, so it's useless to speculate in vain.To celebrate today, there is no need to worry about anything.

Daiyu smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai drank it, and Daiyu poured him another glass. He seemed to be happy, and drank five glasses in a row.

Lin Ruhai was slightly drunk and talked too much.He held his daughter's hand and told him repeatedly: "Yu'er, don't worry about Gu Ling's character. He dared to marry the Gu family after repeated investigations for his father. In terms of appearance, character, and talent, he is definitely the best in the capital. First, only his temper is a bit cold, but he is not close to women. In the future, if you marry, you will not need to worry about it in the back house. Speaking of this marriage, I really want to thank Duke Chu. He reminded me. Although he may have other intentions, but after all, he has achieved a good thing, and we should thank you for what we should be thankful for. Looking back, the marriage proposal has been made, please prepare some generous gifts in my name Send it to Chu Mansion."

"My daughter knows."

……

Chu Mansion, Yinghua Garden.

King Ying got the news that the emperor promoted Lin Ruhai, and rushed to the Chu Mansion with the third prince Shui Jie immediately.

Chu Gonggong and his eldest grandson Chuzai were playing chess in Xin. When they saw a distinguished guest, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Shui Jie turned away from Duke Chu, snorted coldly, sat down on the edge of the chessboard, looked at the endgame, and frowned.

King Ying glanced at Duke Chu meaningfully, and muttered: "The emperor's mind is becoming more and more elusive."

Shui Jie was interested in the endgame, so he recruited Chu Zaixin to play with him.As for the dialogue between King Ying and Duke Chu, he just listened but did not speak.

Chu Gong glanced at the third prince and laughed at himself: "At the beginning, the purpose of this marriage was to weaken the Gu family's power in the future. Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty directly promoted the Lin family. Alas, it is difficult for the prince to intimidate the Gu family. Master."

"What the Holy Majesty meant, we can't do anything about it. This is all right, it scares the old man into a coward, and it will be difficult to step on him in the future, not to mention Lin Ruhai is next to him. The Holy Majesty seems to favor him a lot."

The king sighed.Why did he have a brain twitch and stand on the side of the third prince? He also learned from Taifu Gu. How good he is to the emperor.Perhaps this time, the things he planned have already developed smoothly.

Shui Jie smiled and made a move, taking Chu Zaixin's three chess pieces.Le said: "Eat you up."

Chu Zaixin smiled meaningfully, dropped the pieces in another place, and instantly became encircled, eating twelve pieces of Shui Jie.

"God, I didn't even notice."

Chu Gong sighed: "We match up the Gu family and Lin family's marriage, it's like sending a sheep to the tiger's mouth, completely feeding the Gu family, and growing their momentum, miscalculation, miscalculation!"

Hearing this, Chu Zaixin said with a smile, "Grandfather, if I had known this earlier, why bother. I have long favored the daughter of the Lin family. If you insist on sending her to the Gu family, you will ruin a good marriage."

Knowing that his grandson was joking with him, Duke Chu scolded, "You bastard!"

"Eh? Brother Chu likes Lin Ruhai's daughter? That's strange, I didn't expect you to like women." Shui Jie joked.

Chu Zaixin explained to Shui Jie: "If the third prince saw the 'letter' letter from Lin's daughter to her father with his own eyes, he would also be fascinated. Such a pure and filial woman is rare in the world."

"Co-author, you haven't seen what other people look like, you just read a few lines of words, and you remember it?" Shui Jie felt so strange.As a woman, you still have to be beautiful to sleep comfortably.

Chu Zaixin curled his lips, not intending to speak.Talking about this with Shui Jie, who treats women like playthings, is tantamount to playing the piano with a cow, which is extremely boring.Chu Zaixin patted his ass, found an excuse, and said goodbye to his grandfather, King Ying, and the third prince.

"Hey, leave as soon as you say, really." Shui Jie stretched out his hand to disturb the chessboard in dissatisfaction, and sat on the table irritably.King Ying and Chu Zaixin were still studying the affairs of the Gu family and the Lin family, and Shui Jie was upset.He frowned and said: "Don't count, it's just a close friend of the father, there is no threat. If you can't figure it out, you will be pulled down. The important thing is the second brother, who is getting more and more rampant. The day before yesterday, he tripped me in front of the father. .”

King Ying and Duke Chu hurriedly sat down and discussed with Shui Jie...

Chu Zaixin made an appointment with Gu Ling to meet at Fengxian Tower in the afternoon.The two ordered a table of food and wine, chatting while eating.

Chu Zaixin thought of the marriage between Gu Ling and the daughter of the Lin family, and said congratulations.

"You boy, you are really blessed. I can marry such a good wife. I envy you."

"You're jealous." Gu Ling peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth, looking at Chu Zaixin faintly.

Chu Zaixin raised his eyebrows helplessly, and talked about how he met bandits on the road and accidentally got a letter from the Lin family.He admitted frankly: "Yes, I'm really jealous. I'm not afraid to tell you that if I were willing to open my mouth, this marriage might belong to my young master." Chu Zaixin did have the idea of ​​proposing marriage to the Lin family, but it's a pity that he hesitated I am also worried that his status is not worthy.It was the first time he resented his identity after growing up so big.

Gu Ling noticed the unconvinced look in Chu Zaixin's eyes, and sneered. He didn't expect that the always free and easy young master of the Chu family would also have a sad face.

"Why are you laughing!" Chu Zaixin was dissatisfied.

"You can only watch helplessly, and you will never get it."

Chu Zaixin was stunned for a while before realizing that Gu Ling was talking about the Lin family's marriage, and he was speechless for a while; he pointed at Gu Ling with shaking fingers, not knowing what to say.
