Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

"Xi Ren, you will have to work hard these few days, no matter what happens, you must not let Baoyu go to the Shi family."

The attacker hurriedly said: "It's not that you don't know what kind of temper our young master has. He insists on going, but who can stop him? Besides, once he goes out, how do I know where he is going? Is it possible that I can still let him stay at home and not go out?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yuanyang laughed, "If there is anyone in this room who can persuade Baoyu, I think you are the only one. It's not like you don't know how Miss Shi went to her house earlier. It is said that the old lady of their family has gone, and that’s why Miss Shi went home, but in truth, there is a reason. Baoyu doesn’t know, but can we pretend not to know?”

Xiren couldn't help but think of the past two years.

At that time, Jia Min was not dead, and Daiyu had never been to Rongguo Mansion, but Shi Xiangyun was taken home by Jia's mother, took her with her, and grew up with Baoyu.At that time, Xiren was not with Baoyu, but only obeyed Jiamu's order, and waited on Xiangyun with Cuilu.A few years passed like this, Xiangyun got a little older, there was another funeral at Baolinghou's mansion, Xiangyun's grandmother passed away, and Xiangyun returned home.

At that time, Xiangyun and Baoyu were young, and some things were not known to them.When Baoling Hou Shi Nai's wife Chu came to pick up Xiangyun, she discussed with Jia's mother that Xiangyun was getting older, and it would not be good to live with relatives for a long time, so he was no longer prepared to let him go. Xiangyun lived in historians for a long time.

Jia's mother was not very willing, but she got Xiangyun's grandmother to agree to take Xiangyun to Rongguo's mansion that day. Now that Xiangyun's grandmother passed away, the closest relatives are her second uncle and aunt, and Jia's mother can't do this. I had no choice but to let Xiangyun go home.

Xiren is a girl bought by the Jia family from outside, and there are parents and elder brothers in the family, who may come to ask for permission to redeem her body in the future, so Jia's mother only let Cuilu follow Xiangyun back to the Shijia.

When Cui Ling went with her, she found out the reason why Mrs. Chu, Shi Nai's wife, insisted that Xiang Yun should not live in the Rongguo Mansion in the future, and later told Xi Ren, mandarin duck.

It turned out that Mrs. Chu suspected that Baoyu in Rongguo's mansion often hung out in the inner curtain and lived close to Xiangyun. She was afraid that when the children were a little older, they would have some unsuitable gossip, and even harm the other girls of their historians. This is why he is so anxious to let Xiangyun go home.

In the past, it was because of the intention of the old Mrs. Baoling Hou that it is not easy for them to be juniors to surpass the elders, and Xiangyun is young, but he is just a child, so he endured it. Now that the old lady has gone, they have no scruples, so they can Xiangyun must go home.

Mother Jia didn't like Mrs. Chu before, but now that she still has such thoughts about Baoyu, she doesn't know if she is too indulgent to Baoyu and annoyed Mrs. Chu first, so she still picks up Xiangyun from time to time. Going to play at home, regardless of Mrs. Chu's thoughts.

It's just that Jia's mother also knows that Mrs. Chu has a lot of complaints about Baoyu, even if she doesn't care much about Mrs. Chu, she won't let Baoyu take the initiative to go to Baolinghou's mansion to make fun of her.

Furthermore, Baoyu now always wants to go to the historian's house to play, but to get together with her sisters.But when he came to the historian, how could he be the master?His own historians stopped him from entering the place where the women's relatives played and played. Even if Baoyu went, he would not be able to do so.

After being reminded by the mandarin duck, Xiren knew in his heart that Baoyu would definitely not be able to get rid of the historian.

She was still thinking about how to dissuade Baoyu, or find something new to divert Baoyu's interest, and Yuanyang asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Qin Zhong?"

Xiren was stunned at first, but when he realized it, he smiled and said, "It's really a good idea. But how do we find Qin Zhong?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Yuanyang also laughed, "It's all right to find a boy to talk to Qin Zhong. Baoyu pretends to be sick and doesn't go to school, so let him come to visit Baoyu! The old lady also likes Qin Zhong. Maybe we will keep him at home for another two days, if we can make the old lady happy with Baoyu, that would be even better. The old lady will really not be happy if Miss Lin goes to this house."

The attacker agreed, and Yuanyang took her back to the inner room and went to bed.

In Lin's mansion, Lin Ruhai hadn't gone to bed yet, and was sorting out something in the study with the lamp on.

Suddenly there was some noise from outside the door, he frowned and shouted: "Who!"

The door of the study was pushed open, and a small head poked in, grinning at him.

Seeing that he didn't show anything, the owner of the head became more and more proud, and the whole person got in, turned around and closed the door, and then trotted to Lin Ruhai's side, and said with a smile: "Daddy, I was ordered to ask you why you are still here?" unrested!"

Lin Ruhai scolded with a smile: "Order? Whose order are you taking?"

"If I say I'm following my sister's order, my father will definitely not believe me."

Lin Ruhai nodded.

Daiyu had been driving for a long time today, she was more tired than usual, and she was already sleepy with the calming medicinal food prepared by Mo Zongliang's kitchen, so she went to bed earlier than usual tonight.

Chongyu said again: "Then I can only say that I was ordered by Uncle Mo. Uncle Mo saw that there was light in Dad's study, so he felt that it was inconvenient to come here rashly, so he had to send me to have a look."

What he said is true or false.It was true that he was with the three brothers Mo Zongliang and Yang Liutong before he came, and the truth was that Mo Zongliang didn't ask him to come, but he wanted to come.

Naturally, Lin Ruhai could guess that his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, and he became more and more angry and funny, so he knocked on his forehead and that's all, just asked: "What kind of idea is this?"

"What did Dad's teacher do back then?"

Lin Ruhai was startled, but she wasn't very surprised.As early as Xu Zhong told him that Chongyu had mentioned this matter, he knew that Chongyu would come to ask himself sooner or later.

He was not in a hurry to answer, and asked first: "My teacher's name is taboo, do you know?"

Chongyu looked serious, nodded and said: "I know."

In those books, the signature of Lin Ruhai's teacher Gu Zhenying was left, and he had already read it.

After pondering for a while, Lin Ruhai asked again: "Where's Daiyu?"

"I never told my sister." Chongyu shook his head, "When I was in Yangzhou, I peeked at some books in my father's study, but I never told my sister."

Lin Ruhai became more and more astonished in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he nodded nonchalantly.

Chongyu waited quietly for his next words.

Lin Ruhai waved to him, let him get closer, and finally hugged him in his arms.

Chongyu let him hold him, and also noticed that his hands gradually trembled slightly, and then calmed down again.

If he hadn't been paying attention all the time, he might not be able to feel this subtle change.

Finally, Lin Ruhai talked about the past.

This dynasty was established less than a hundred years ago. The first generation of emperors immediately set up a family, fought south and north, and suffered from a serious illness. Not long after they ruled the country, they distributed meritorious ministers one by one. crashed.

The second generation of emperors, however, followed the first generation of emperors to fight on the battlefield. He suffered from a serious illness, and his father died in the pain of calming down the world. After a few years, he also died.

The third emperor is the son of the second emperor.Although he also went to the battlefield with his father, he has no ability to unite in battle, but he has taken a lot of credit for his status as the emperor's grandson.In the past, his father was only concerned with fighting in the north and south, and had no intention of women's sex. He was the only adult child, and the more he never experienced any battles, he ascended the throne easily.

The second emperor had another young son who was named Prince Yizhong.

This Prince Yizhong is the old son of the second emperor, and he got it only after the initial war ended, unlike the third emperor who seldom sees his father all year round.Prince Yizhong grew up by his father's side, and won the favor of his father, and because of this, he also got the jealousy of his brother.

When Prince Yiyizhong grows up, his ability and ability are even higher than that of his elder brother, which makes the emperor's brother more and more unhappy.

When the three emperors came to the throne, the founding nobles headed by the four kings and eight princes had already been established, and the new emperor was docile and deceitful. looting civilians.

It just so happened that there were still foreign enemies ready to move, and it was up to them to solve the foreign enemies, and the three generations of emperors became more and more fond of them, and their own brothers fell behind.

Prince Yizhong saw everything in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.He had no place to fight in the imperial court and was repeatedly excluded, but he never lost his morale because of this. Instead, he worked harder and harder secretly, recruiting upstarts in the imperial examination, trying to use these upstarts to take away the power from the founding lords.

Lin Ruhai's teacher, Gu Zhenying, was born as the No. [-] Scholar back then, and his literary name spread far and wide. Later, he presided over many imperial examinations, and his students and old officials are all over the world.

Prince Yizhong and Gu Zhenying fell in love at first sight, and they discussed repeatedly.

At that time, due to the small population of the Lin family, they did not have close contacts with these large and aristocratic families, so they became the target of Prince Yizhong's wooing.Gu Zhenying likes the scholarly family of the Lin family, and the family style is different from other families, so she also wants to unite with the Lin family.

The Lin family also did not want to collude with these honorable groups, and seeing that Prince Yizhong had no intention of becoming the throne, but only wanted to support the crown prince Li Longwang to ascend the throne, they moved closer to Prince Yizhong.

Although Prince Yizhong is Li Longwang's uncle, he is only a few years older than Li Longwang, and the two get along more like brothers of the same generation.Because of this, when Lin Ruhai was in the capital in the past, he got along more with Li Longwang and Prince Zhongshun Li Longning.Among them, Li Longning is several years younger than Li Longwang, and Ru Hai is younger than Li Longning.

The conspiracy of Prince Yizhong and Gu Zhenying was finally discovered by the Xungui Group.For this reason, the Xungui Group beat back and wronged Prince Yizhong for wanting to seize the throne.

Three generations of emperors have always been afraid of their younger brother, and after hearing what the Xungui Group said, they believed it.He has always loved fame, so he only confined Prince Yizhong in the palace, and replaced all the people who waited on the palace with his people.

But Gu Zhenying, as the military adviser who conspired with Prince Yizhong, was sentenced to be executed.The Lin family would also be implicated, but with the two princes Li Longwang and Li Longning as guarantors, it is not a problem.

Not long after Prince Yizhong was under house arrest, he fell ill and passed away.When he was ill, he had to order a coffin, but the illness was so severe that he passed away before the coffin was transported to Beijing.It was the height of summer, and it was inconvenient to delay the funeral, and everyone knew that he did not like the emperor, so they hurriedly dismissed the funeral.

Although the emperors of the three generations didn't like this younger brother, they felt a little sick after seeing him pass away, so they passed on the throne to Li Longwang and became the Supreme Emperor himself.

Li Longwang's ascension to the throne, not only knowing that his father did not really fully delegate power, but also knowing that the Xungui Group is still eyeing it, he simply put on the appearance of Longen Shengde going far ahead of his predecessors, giving more rewards to the Xungui, but secretly gradually taking away the power in their hands .

The conferment of titles on the surface makes these noble families seem to be in their heyday, but secretly, they have less real power.

Naturally, the Lin family was no exception. They were also enshrined in the queue, but they were only granted the title of Father of Ru Hai, and inherited the title of another generation.

After Lin Ruhai was born in the imperial examination, he was sent to a foreign post only after he was awarded a prize.

In this way, Lin Ruhai broke away from the vortex in Beijing early, and accumulated power for the emperor in other places until now.

After Chongyu listened, some problems were solved, but some doubts arose.

He turned around in his father's arms, looked up at Ruhai, and asked, "Then dad, how did you marry your mother?"

From what Lin Ruhai said, the relationship between the Jia family and the Lin family is not that good!And the Rongguo Mansion has received more gifts after ascending the throne. On the other hand, although the Lin family has received more practical benefits, on the surface, there is not much beauty.
