[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Lin Daiyu sent out the pigeon letter, and there was a response within a few days. Apart from Nan Gongxu's promise to go to the southwest, he also sent two boxes.

The two big boxes piled up in the garden full of flowers were really abrupt and strange, but Lin Daiyu stared at them for a long time, but she didn't dare to ask anyone to open them.

Xueyan also remembered being frightened last time, and said hesitantly.

"Girl, why don't we ask a few servants to open it? Then ask the old doctor to come over, he will know how to deal with these things."

"No, since I promised, I should keep my promise."

Four or five people felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they stretched out their hands several times to test them, and let go when they touched the box, not daring to continue.

Finally, Lin Yun came over.

"What are you doing?"

Look at the crowd, then at the box, and understand.

"What's the matter, I'll come."

Lin Daiyu immediately led the people back, looking at Lin Yun as if looking at a hero who fell from the sky.Then I saw her randomly pull up the lock of the box and lift the lid.

It was extraordinarily quiet and nothing happened, Lin Daiyu bravely stepped forward, hugged Lin Yun's arm tightly and probed.

Inside the box are piles of dead grass.

No matter what precious medicinal herb is, in the eyes of people who don't know medical skills, it is a dead grass.

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief before coming out from behind Lin Yun.

"Thought it was some strange thing, it turned out to be these, but fortunately there is no strange thing."

"It looks like there is wormwood, why send this thing here, isn't it available in any pharmacy?"

The probe found that most of them did not know each other, so Lin Yun turned and walked towards the box next to him.

"insect."

"where?"

Lin Daiyu panicked, clutching Xueyan's arm tightly to run away, but when she turned her head she saw Lin Yun smirking.

"You, you lied to me. You lied to me knowing that I was afraid."

He mustered up his courage for serious business. Unexpectedly, Nan Gongxu didn't send any strange things, so he was frightened by Lin Yun first.The more Lin Daiyu thought about it, the more wronged she became, her eyes turned red.

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat.broken.

"I was wrong, sorry, sorry, I shouldn't scare you."

She hurried forward to apologize, but Lin Daiyu turned around and left.

"I really know my mistake, and I won't dare to do it again."

The two chased away one after the other, leaving the girls looking at each other in blank dismay.After a while, a little girl standing behind muttered.

"When I was young, my elder brother always frightened me. I thought it was only my elder brother who was like this. It turned out that my elder sister was also like this."

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, he saw Lin Daiyu sitting at the table sulking, and Lin Yun turning around.

"What's the matter today? Where did Yu'er feel wronged, and she spoke out to make decisions for her father."

"I was wrong."

Lin Daiyu didn't say what she was complaining about, but was immediately blocked by Lin Yun, and immediately became more angry.

"Where in the world will you do something wrong, I am obviously timid. If you talk about it, I should apologize."

"How can this be called cowardly? It's clear that the beauty is like a weak willow Fufeng, so pitiful, it makes people lose their minds. My good sister, please forgive me."

While talking, Lin Yun made a bow.

"laugh."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, remembering that she was still angry, she immediately put on a straight face.

"Glib, thank you for not being a man, otherwise how many girls would be deceived by this mouth."

"No, I only say this to those who have a scorpion head, moth eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth. How can others compare with my younger sister who has turned into a fairy? I have asked people to get ready in the garden. Can this fairy go and see?"

"Hmph, forgive you this time."

The two went out talking.

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Lin An looked around and hurried forward.

"Master, the hot water is ready, please go take a bath."

"Hey, old man."

After stroking his beard, Lin Ruhai went to take a bath and change clothes.

Before resting at night, the two sisters came to say hello.Lin Ruhai glanced at it, and turned around with the book.

"Father, the weather is getting hotter, so I ordered someone to prepare fresh lotus seed tea. Let someone change it tomorrow."

Just after listening to Lin Yun's words, Lin Ruhai managed to accumulate some temper and instantly dissipated.Put down the book, Lao Huai comforted me.

"You have a heart. I'm busy with things now, and I'm not in a good mood at noon. It's better to change to some refreshing tea."

"Then order people to prepare more. The household department and the official department are involved clearly?"

It was originally a conspiracy involving the safety of the Lin family, so Lin Yun asked straightforwardly.

Lin Ruhai didn't hide anything, and laughed a little.

"It's easy over there. People can be detected within two or three days, but are they the ultimate goal? If you want to involve the Inspectorate, it depends on whether I agree or not."

On the second day, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials reported back according to the facts.

"Your Majesty, the matter of selling officials and titles without authorization has been investigated. Zhao Zhong and others sold their official positions to merchants and other people for personal gain. However, they were not greedy enough and wanted to occupy more treasury silver, so they designed the crime. I hereby submit Confession."

After speaking, he took out the confession from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

The eunuchs came with the results and forwarded them to the emperor.

Prince Zhongshun listened with a smile on his face at first, but when he realized something was wrong later, his expression was indifferent.

"There is such a thing, it must be investigated thoroughly, and the fish that slipped through the net must not be let go."

The Minister of the Ministry of officials handed over.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, all the verifications have been submitted, please Your Majesty to make a decision."

There were two pages of testimony, and the emperor sneered when he read it.

"I entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but they actually deceived the superior and the inferior. Minister of the Household Department, the confession stated that you once instructed him to raise the official price. Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, I have never done this before. I am wronged."

Suddenly being named, Hubu Shangshu stepped forward and knelt down, his hands trembling slightly in his sleeves.

Things were not as expected, and Prince Zhongshun came out in two steps.

"Your Majesty, it is not trivial to involve the second-rank Shangshu, and it is better to handle it carefully. Qian Shangshu has always been loyal, so there must be something hidden in it, which needs to be thoroughly investigated."

"Is the prince suspecting that the lower officials are favoritism? Except for Zhao Zhong, all the officials involved in the matter have been questioned, and all suspects will be reported."

"This king has no such intentions, but it's just that the matter is so important that other people will inevitably be involved, and those who slip through the net should be strictly investigated."

It is not uncommon for the court to argue. The emperor waited for them to quarrel for a while before stopping.

"Okay, the two lovers insist on their own opinions. Where is Dali Temple? Put Zhao Zhong and others in prison for interrogation, and we must find out the truth."

"emperor."

Prince Zhongshun bowed his hands, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand.

"Can things in the southwest pay off?"

The topic is diverted, is this the end of the matter?Prince Zhongshun glared fiercely at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then looked at the Minister of the Household Department, and it happened that he also looked over.

Lines of sight staggered and separated immediately, no one seemed to notice.

After the court, Mr. Chen passed by Prince Zhongshun and greeted him politely.

"My lord, go slowly."

"Master Chen, today the household department and officials are fighting with each other. As the right deputy of the Inspectorate, don't you have anything to say?"

The voice was low, and it seemed to be speaking from the chest while suppressing anger.

Lord Chen cupped his hands and smiled.

"My lord doesn't know that the matter in the Southwest is not over yet. The officer has already asked His Majesty for an order and is about to go on a tour. Therefore, all matters of the Inspectorate have been handed over to other colleagues and have not interfered."

"what?"

Prince Zhongshun's face changed continuously.

The trap specially set for him was avoided by such a mistake.Why didn't Zhao Zhong reciprocate?To sabotage the big plan for the sake of petty profits, the success is more than failure!

Master Chen didn't seem to notice his anger, he left with a smile, and turned to greet Lin Ruhai.

"Master Lin, the next official is about to leave Beijing, and I have to ask you to do something, please take a moment to speak."

"Master Chen has worked hard, please."

Watching the two leave side by side, Prince Zhongshun looked fiercely.

"You guys are lucky, let's see how to escape next time!"

With a cold snort, he walked away.

Under the city wall, Lord Chen cupped his hands in thanks.

"Being entangled by someone a few days ago was a coincidence. If Master Lin hadn't mentioned something, this encounter cannot be avoided. Please accept my respect."

"You and I have similar temperaments and are in the Inspectorate, so you don't have to be polite. If he succeeds, how do you know it won't be me next time? But you must be careful when you go out of Beijing."

The strife in the officialdom is not bloodless, Lin Ruhai has experienced it personally, and he emphatically exhorts it.

Master Chen thanked you again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be more careful this time, knowing that there are fierce beasts around behind me, how can I not be prepared?"

The two talked for a long time before taking their leave.

Zhao Zhong was arrested, and the official positions sold by him would naturally be taken back, and the Liu family was among them.

"The official position bought for 5000 taels of silver is gone like this, and the silver can't be taken back. Isn't this a scam?"

Madam Liu looked at her son, her blood welling up.

"No, I'm going to ask her for an explanation."

He charged aggressively in front of Shi Xiangyun's gate, shouting loudly before entering.

"Although our family has silver, it wasn't blown by a strong wind, throwing a few thousand taels for fun. Brother Zhen is your nephew, and you will rely on him for the elderly in the future. You are not like an aunt, should you explain to me?"

After the last sentence, she went into the house.

Shi Xiangyun was feeding the child on the couch, glanced at her and slowed down unhurriedly.

"It's strange what you said. It was you who were begging for mercy. Sister Lin kindly pointed out for my sake. Could there be something wrong?"

"Bah! We listened to what she said, but now we don't have any official position or money, shouldn't we explain it to me?"

5000 taels is not a small amount, and now she has lost all her money, and Madam Liu's distressed intestines are green.

Shi Xiangyun's eyes were full of ridicule.

"Sister Lin pointed out to you, didn't you buy an official position? Since you bought it, you were not lying to you. Now that you haven't kept the money for the official position, what have you got to do with me, Sister Lin? Go out and inquire. Did anyone who bought the official position lose their position?"

"This this……"

The sons of eunuchs and the sons of ordinary people bought the official, so naturally they didn't lose it, but did she deserve it if she lost it?Unable to swallow this breath, Mrs. Liu argued.

"Since she pointed out the way, I should be responsible to the end."

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Did you give me a tael of silver? Or did you give me a penny as a gift?"

At the beginning, with the idea of ​​taking advantage, of course no money was given.Mrs. Liu's eyes fluttered, and Shi Xiangyun was even more sarcastic.

"Sister Lin has a bad temper. Even when I was at home, I was reprimanded several times by her. If my sister-in-law is not angry, feel free to come to her door. The only thing is, don't come to me if she gets annoyed."

"you!"

The merchants of the Liu family have managed to get involved with officials for generations. They dared to discuss Shi Xiangyun secretly, but they dared not find the Lin Mansion and the Wei Mansion.Such behavior is really cowardly!

Shi Xiangyun was very happy in his heart, the grievances of these days were slightly relieved by the water drift of 5000 taels of silver.

"If I were you, I would just pretend nothing happened. If people find out that brother Zhen failed to buy an official, then my future will be ruined."

Mrs. Liu came here in a rage, and left in a rage, without any benefit.

Shi Xiangyun carried the child back to the couch, suddenly noticed something, turned around, and saw a young man standing in front of the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"You are my wife."

The person who came was none other than Saburo Liu, the husband Shi Xiangyun hadtily married.They are supposed to be people who will join hands for a lifetime, but they only look at each other with indifference.

"I heard Brother Zhen's official position was taken away, do you have an idea?"

"What ideas can I have? Anyway, I only have a daughter. In the future, I will be satisfied with marrying a scholar with a few aunts."

It is a good result for a girl from a merchant family to marry a scholar.With Wei and Lin as their backers, there is no need to worry about finding reliable candidates.Parents love their children for far-reaching plans, Shi Xiangyun had already figured it out clearly.

Liu Jiasanlang was moved, his eyes swept over his daughter, and he quickly retracted.

"Yan'er is happy, I know you can't have another child, if she gives birth to a son, it can be recorded in your name..."

"Do your Spring and Autumn Dream!"

Shi Xiangyun turned around abruptly, his eyes rarely showed a fierce look.

"Remember to take advantage of my son's benefit under my name, and use the power of Lin and Wei to raise your son? Don't forget that I grew up under Mrs. Rong Guo's knees, and I want to fool me with this idea!"

His chest rose and fell violently, and he put down the child carefully and tore his face.

"Which do you like to pet, even if you give birth to ten or eight children, as long as I don't recognize them, how many sisters will take care of them? If you still have a little brain, just give up your daughter. I won't make it in this life. How can I know her?" You won't marry someone who is an official butcher, and one day I'm happy to deny you as a father, and you are worse than cats and dogs!"
