The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Yes, deeply puzzled.

As a courtier, the most important skill is not to be very smart, nor is it to be hardworking, and it is not to be able to flatter.One of the most important skills is to be able to look at people, especially the eyes of the emperor.Don't let the emperor tell you to go east, you just want to go west.

Few of the people who acted against the emperor ended well. After all, not everyone was Wei Zheng, and not every emperor was Tang Taizong Li Shimin.Besides, even if the emperor is Li Shimin, you may not have the talent of Wei Zheng.Therefore, at certain times, it is better to listen to the emperor's words, and those who are obedient will be rewarded.

What Master Lin couldn't understand was why Emperor Xuande would say such a thing. Since his ascension to the throne, this emperor has shown a different style from when he was a prince, tough and powerful, plus narrow-minded.

Except for the time when he gave Lin Hai a marriage, he never meddled in other people's business. Once he intervenes, it means that you have been caught by him, and you are about to die!

Not to mention that Master Lin is depressed, in fact Emperor Xuande is also depressed. He is not a kind person by nature, nor does he have any interest in being a Yuelao. something happened!

kindness?

First Emperor?

What does this have to do with the late emperor?

It seems that it has nothing to do with the first emperor, but in fact it has something to do with it.

This is going to be about N years ago!

N years ago, during the private visit of Emperor Xiandi, one was accidentally followed by someone, and then he was given a strong aphrodisiac, and another accidentally gave XXOO to a passing woman from a good family!

Although there were no major incidents after that, such as crying, making troubles and hanging himself, there was still a small trouble in the end, that is, the woman from a good family was pregnant with the late emperor's child!But because of the poor health of the woman from a good family, the mountain doctor at that time did not give the exact month, so the husband of the woman from a good family thought that the child was the child.It belongs to their family.

It stands to reason that this is a situation where everyone is happy!The emperor doesn't need to have a dark reputation, and the woman from a good family has not been kicked out of the house by her husband's family, or soaked in a pig cage.But because the woman from a good family later gave birth to a daughter, and because of her family background, that daughter had to marry a petty official, so the first emperor suddenly had a nervous attack and felt sorry for the mother and daughter.

After all, if she is a dignified princess, even if she is the least favored, it is impossible for her to marry so lowly.The face of the royal family is still needed, the most is to marry some embroidered pillow characters.How could it be possible to marry such a small official!

So, someone guessed the truth!

That's right.Mrs. Du is actually the illegitimate daughter of the first emperor and the half-sister of Emperor Xuande.

This is also the reason why Master Du, a son of a family of meritorious service, was able to rise to the top and become a minister of the Ministry of Rites. The wife who can't stand him is the illegitimate daughter of the late emperor!

The first emperor always felt sorry for his daughter.In addition, the Du family has been honest all these years, and Master Du is cautious, and the synonym of cautious is careful.Therefore, the late emperor did not find any chance to add Mrs. Endu. With this apology, the late emperor told Emperor Xuande about this matter, telling him to treat the Du family well.Especially Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du's children.

To be honest, Emperor Xuande was really taken aback when he first heard the news.Then it calmed down.With the heart of a villain, I muttered there, who knows if this is true or not!And what doctor misdiagnosed, what if he lied to the late emperor, what if Mrs. Du was originally from that family.She is no longer the daughter of the first emperor!

Fortunately, the first emperor just asked Emperor Xuande to take good care of Mrs. Du.Instead of letting Emperor Xuande make an order to let Mrs. Du recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, otherwise Emperor Xuande decided to let go of this matter.The face of the royal family can't afford to be hurt!

After hearing the news, Emperor Xuande sent someone to the Du Mansion to keep an eye on the family. If they lived in peace, he didn't mind giving them some grace.If you are restless, then I'm sorry, the royal family can kill even the prince, let alone an illegitimate daughter!

This Du family is worthy of being the one that the late emperor could not even afford to do, and the whole family is honest and honest.Later, Emperor Xuande received the news that the Du family wanted to follow the path of the scholarly family. He also thought it was good, and he heard that the eldest son of the Du family was a good student, so he was going to give him a favor, which was regarded as the whole family. The first emperor's daughter-loving heart.

So when they heard that the Du family wanted to marry the Lin family, the Lin family was shot lying down!

Speaking of the Lin family, Emperor Xuande is still very satisfied, he is a loyal minister, and he is a loyal minister who is only loyal to the emperor.But at this time, Emperor Xuande's narrow-mindedness broke out again!

Some time ago, Prince Zhongyi and Marquis of Qi rebelled and were snapped by Emperor Xuande!Wasn't Master Lin presiding over the work of confiscating the house in Jiangnan at that time?Got a lot of things.

Emperor Xuande was not jealous, but he just felt unhappy. After all, the Lin family was not the most loyal family to him, but this kind of good thing fell on the Lin family, and he felt that the Lin family had taken advantage of it.

However, after knowing that the Du family intends to marry their daughter to the second son of the Lin family, Emperor Xuande had a new idea.

Obviously, with Jia En and the Du family, this is impossible!As an emperor, as long as he is not a faint emperor, he is consciously weakening the power of the meritorious family, which is why civil servants are so popular in the middle of a dynasty.

Since the Du family wanted to transform into a scholarly family, Emperor Xuande of course strongly supported it. After all, the blood of the Du family now also includes the blood of the royal family.Naturally, I don't want to see them take a crooked road.

But it is obvious that the Du family has no one on Qingliu's side, so Emperor Xuande felt that giving the eldest son of the Du family a good second place in the list so that he could marry a daughter-in-law of Qingliu, and the Lin family, Mr. Lin was originally a smart person , a little hint, he will understand.Of course, if Master Lin doesn't understand, Emperor Xuande has a way to make him understand.

In this way, wouldn't Master Lin's things be distributed to his two sons in the future?Strictly speaking, Du Limei is still Emperor Xuande's niece. Thinking about it this way, Emperor Xuande felt much better. At last, he didn't take advantage of others, and he was still rotten in the same pot.

In other words, Master Lin is worthy of Emperor Xuande's heart and eyes, and he immediately understood what Emperor Xuande meant.

Isn't it just marrying a daughter from the Du family?Just marry the Lin family, what's the big deal.

To be honest, Du Limei's conditions are very good in all aspects!Except for the reason that maybe because he was raised by a nanny in the palace since he was a child, his personality is a bit calm, there is nothing wrong with the rest.

According to Master Lin, being calm also has its benefits. At least there will be no disasters, and he will be able to support his small family in the future. After a hundred years, he won't have to worry about his two sons anymore!

However, it is obvious that the Jiang family doesn't think so. Hearing Master Lin said that he wants to settle down the daughter of the Du family, the Jiang family can't help but said anxiously: "Master, why are we going to settle so soon! Shen'er is not particularly old. , and..." And it's hard to say, there will be a better candidate in a few days!

Although Jiang didn't say this out loud, Master Lin and Jiang have been husband and wife for so many years, so how could they not know what she meant!Master Lin didn't want to give the best to his son, but Emperor Xuande had already hinted at this matter. If he pretended not to understand, he would just choose another person for Lin Shen.

Emperor Xuande may not say anything on the surface, but he may hold a grudge secretly. He has seen the emperor's narrow-mindedness.The future of the Lin family is worrying!

"Settling down early also has the advantage of being settled down early, so that Shen'er can study at the Six Arts Academy with peace of mind. Although the Du family has no connections in Qingliu, they have no such influence in the House of Merit. It is inferior to the four kings and eight princes in the early years." If it weren't for this, Master Lin would not have agreed so readily.

Marriage and marriage are actually for the benefit of both parties. If you don’t show something that makes others feel excited, why do others want to marry you? right!

The reputation of the Lin family in Qingliu is very attractive to the Du family.Similarly, if the Lin family wants to gain a foothold in the imperial court, they should not only focus on the affairs of Qingliu, but also pay attention to the affairs of other class circles.The Du family has very good contacts in the circle of meritorious service. Although they don't have any real power and don't have much speaking ability, they can get first-hand information in the first place, which is very powerful!

It is very helpful for the Lin family to understand the important affairs of the court.After all, the Lin family has completely jumped out of the circle of meritorious service now, and the in-laws who are married are also somewhat scholarly families.

"But we are going to the Qingliu side! And the ladies from other mansions are not bad either! Mrs. Zhang told me not long ago that she is her eldest daughter..." It's not a good thing to be on two boats with one foot, Jiang's Couldn't help but persuade.

Mr. Lin was a little dumbfounded, and it wasn't that he was going to step on two boats at once. As for the daughter of the Zhang family, even if she was as good as a fairy, at this time, the Lin family can only marry the daughter of the Du family. What do you know! Anyway, I’m going to make an appointment with the daughter of the Du family, and in a few days you will send someone to deliver a new one, go and make a small order!”

"En!" Seeing how stiff Master Lin was, Mrs. Jiang stopped talking!

Jiang's favorite thing about Mr. Lin is that he is obedient.Maybe she will put forward some different opinions, but in the end, she will obediently do what you say.This made Master Lin very satisfied. Obedient women are much cuter.
