Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Mr. Wan was having a headache when he was asked by the mistress of the host family. When he turned around, he saw his disciple stupidly bringing in a few bunches of zongzi from outside to please him.Xue Pan first handed the zongzi to the boy who came to lift the curtain, and when he saw the master cupping his hands, he bowed and said, "Please trouble me, sir." Mr. Wan thought, when will you not bother me?He didn't show his face, he pointed to the chair in the corner of the room and sat down, Xue Pan followed him and sat down, saying: "My mother told me just now, I'm so sorry." Mr. Wan almost wanted to reach out and hit him : "I heard that you wanted to compete with others on the street to buy a little girl in the early years, why didn't you feel ashamed at that moment?"

Xue Pan scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Didn't I have to teach you at that time, sir, please don't mention it, I'm so ashamed." Mr. Wan stopped teasing him, shaking his sleeves and asked: "Although marriage is supposed to be between the elders and the elders. You make up your own mind, but after all, you have to be kind to a daughter-in-law, and the two of you will live a lifetime, what do you think?" Xue Pan said "hehehe" a few times: "Just... find a good temper, I can get along with my mother and my sister. I see Tian'er running outside, but they get along a lot at home. If they don't get together, it would be a big deal. Besides, hehehe, if you can be beautiful It would be better if you know how to manage the house, even if you have a great idea." As he spoke, his voice drifted away, and he didn't know what to think.

Mr. Wan glanced at him angrily and said: "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, how can you ask so much, and don't read your own materials first. Go, go, go, go down and recite "Five Beetles" for me." Silently, let's see how your handwriting is doing recently." Xue Panhan smiled and went to the study to ask the servant to watch and write silently. Here, Mr. Wan is going to pay his respects to the clothes and hand them over when Lin Ruhai takes a rest. Post a door-to-door visit.

After all, the Lin Mansion is also the residence of a second-rank official, who would dare to go up and talk about it?Mr. Wan knocked on the door, the door was opened a crack and asked clearly, he hurriedly opened the corner door to welcome people in, and said as he walked: "Is it Mr. Wan? Our master has been looking forward to seeing you since he accepted the post. This way, please." Mr. Wan walked in with him, and all he could see was lush forests and tall bamboos, verdant and verdant. meaning.After passing the screen wall and walking to the atrium, Lin Ruhai's personal escort came to lead Mr. Wan to continue walking in, and the door would continue to guard.

Mr. Wan looked around slightly as he walked, and couldn't help but sigh that the Lin family is indeed a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Just by looking at the arrangement of flowers and trees in this garden, one can get a glimpse of the interest of the owner.Entering Dongkua Courtyard, there are young servants in common clothes busy going back and forth inside, and some servants stand with their hands down, presumably it is the outer study.Mr. Wan coughed lightly and straightened his clothes, only to see the door of the study opened and a tall and slender middle-aged man in Taoist robes came out from his head. , presumably this is the current Minister of Rites, Lin Ruhailin.Mr. Wan didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying: "Student Wan Jia, I have met Master Shangshu." Lin Ruhai came up a few steps and helped Mr. Wan get up with his own hands, saying: "I have been friends with you for a long time. Just talk about family etiquette, please hurry up."

Mr. Wan insisted on completing the ceremony before he got up and followed Lin Ruhai into the study room, where the host and guest sat down and served tea with a neat young servant.Mr. Wan didn't talk about the politeness, he took a sip of tea and said: "This time, I have no choice but to take the liberty to visit. Mr. Lin knows that my student has nothing wrong with him except his simple-minded temper. It's a pity that the lost father has no one to teach. His mother is inconvenient to visit you, so I have to mediate. I want to ask you to help him find a lady in a scholar's house to marry. Mrs. Xue said, do not ask for dowry, dowry Enough, as long as the girl has good character and good looks, nothing else is required."

Lin Ruhai knew about Xue's family, and the real head of the family was Xue's Baochai, the eldest girl. In the future, she would have to marry out of the family, but didn't she have to marry a good housekeeper first?Besides, Xue Pan's temperament is not disciplined, a girl who is slightly older and can take care of the family is perfect for him, and there happened to be such a girl in the family at the same year. The gentleman came to the door and immediately nodded and said: "The so-called starting a family and starting a business, doesn't a man have to get married first before he can establish a job? It is inevitable that he will make plans for Xue Pan, and at least he will be a half-teacher." He was actually thinking in his heart. Go to the same year office first and ask, if the girl is not picky, then you can talk about it below, lest it seems like a partnership forced marriage.

When Mr. Wan got the right words, he immediately cupped his hands and thanked him, stood up without talking much, and wanted to leave.Lin Ruhai hurriedly stopped him and said, "You can't leave. Mister can carve rotten wood into pillars, so he must be a great talent. Although it's a bit embarrassing to be a Jinshi, but Mr. really doesn't want to go further in his official career?" Mr. Wan repeated He shook his hand and said, "I can't bear my bad temper. It's okay to sit in the hall and teach a few urchins, but it doesn't work in the officialdom. Besides, my old lady is old. It would be great if I could take care of her for a few more years." In fact, Lin Ruhai stopped recommending him, and dragged Mr. Wan to the front hall for lunch before letting him go.

Lin Ruhai ordered the housekeeper to send Mr. Wan out, then turned around and went back to the study to write a letter to his family servants, so that he could really take care of Xue Pan for a while.As soon as he put down his pen, the butler who was sending people out hurriedly returned and whispered something in his ear. Lin Ruhai stood up abruptly and asked repeatedly: "Are you telling the truth?" Bending his hands and bending down: "Indeed. People are waiting outside." Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite people in, avoid your eyes and ears, and then go to the girl and say that I can't accompany her for dinner."

Butler Lin bowed and stepped back, telling his mother-in-law to pass on a message to Daiyu without mentioning it, and ran to the corner door to open a crack. Seeing that no one was in a hurry to open the door outside, he greeted a man in a blue cloth that was not eye-catching. A young man in a long gown came in.The two of them avoided the servants and went to Lin Ruhai's study along a secluded road. Seeing that the Minister of Rites was standing there, the young man hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Master Lin, Shen Yu, the fourth-rank officer of Fusi in Xiaguan North Town, command I have a mission to give you something." As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized mahogany box from his sleeve and put it on the table, Lin Ruhai reached out and pushed it away, and said with a serious face, "I don't know if Mr. very!"

Shen Yu stood straight and turned back to him: "It seems that Master Lin knows this thing. So that Master Lin can know that this thing came out of Zhenjiashun. I don't know what you think about it." Lin Ruhai came out from behind the table and looked it up and down. The young man in front of Fan said: "It is said that there will be no good for Jin Yiwei to come to the door. Mr. Shen, tell me the reason for coming first?" After that, he walked to the study room and sat on a chair under the window. The door is wide open here, and there is a wild cat in the yard. You can see clearly too.Shen Yu walked over with him, sat down first and said: "Master Lin is a smart man, and I am taking the liberty of being an official. May I ask how your late wife...how did you get there?"

Lin Ruhai paused, clenched his fists tightly and said: "It's nothing more than a death, what's the matter?" Shen Yu sighed: "Master Lin, we are all working for the emperor, so there is no need for each other to be so on guard, or not?" I didn't need to bring out the things just now, did I?" Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Shen is really a young talent, we old fellows are not as sharp and difficult as you. You just say what you want. "

The courtyard outside was quiet, only the sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves, Shen Yu reached out and knocked on the small box and said: "The emperor ordered Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate the matter of Prince Yizhong's old age, you must know. "He paused, and saw Lin Ruhai nodding before continuing: "When the officials were investigating this matter, they accidentally discovered the case of corruption of ink by the river workers in Jiangnan and Huanghuai. You should also know about it. , the Zhen family is going through the needles here, and I am afraid you have some guesses about whose hands the greedy money is. The only thing I am wondering is how the Zhen family blocked the ears and eyes of all officials. I don’t know how Mr. Lin taught Am I?"

Lin Ruhai's eyes turned red and said: "Is this difficult to say, easy to say, you just need to hold people's handles. If you have no handles and don't take threats, just get rid of them." If not, it's already full Why did the three-year-old son suddenly disappear, and how did the wife linger on the sick bed until she passed away.If it wasn't for his daughter's timely letter, he might have wished he could end up with the Yangzhou Donation Hall.Shen Yu got up and bowed to the ground: "This is the result of my dereliction of duty by the Jinyiwei, and I hope that Master Lin will mourn." Lin Ruhai raised his hand and shook it as if he was ten years old: "If you don't do Jinyiwei, the Zhen family has run the business for generations. , I am in the south of the Yangtze River and I can't figure out the essentials, how can you wait for the defenders of the capital to penetrate the mystery?"

Only then did Shen Yu sit down again and said: "The official came back from the south this time and brought Sun Shijia, the magistrate of Ruizhou Prefecture, into Beijing. Did Mr. Lin know about this person?" Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Yes, this person is a Jinshi in the [-] year After being admitted to the imperial examination, he first served as the magistrate of the first county in the south of Jiangxi Province, and then he was promoted to the magistrate of Ruizhou. It’s enough to scare him hard.” Shen Yu arched his hands and thanked him: “This person is just like what your lord said, and brothers have already taken confessions, but I don’t know if you can get a glimpse of it. Otherwise, This trip to the south, from Dongting down to Songjiang Mansion, all along the way is full of water, the upstream may be fine, the further down, the worse it is, until the embankments of several lands under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi South Road have collapsed, and the people of Zeguo are in dire straits. It is a matter of causing chaos. This case is no small matter. The emperor has known all about it, and he is afraid that it will be exposed in the court. However, the Zhen family has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for several generations. It is really a centipede. Come to ask for advice, sir."

After Lin Ruhai listened carefully, he glanced sideways out of the window, leaned closer and said to Shen Yu: "Old Madam Feng An of the Zhen family and the emperor have the kindness of breastfeeding, if it is not a shocking event, it is necessary to move the fur. I will show you two ways First, why the four princes received huge amounts of gold, silver, money and food; second, the Zhen family took advantage of all the officials, so there must be evidence that can threaten people, and where are these evidences? These things , only look for the four kings and eight princes, and if you hold it, you can really pinch the Zhen family's seven inches, and the other side can't make the emperor's heart shake." Shen Yu also looked out the window sideways, got up and looked at Lin Ruhai again. Yi said: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your guidance. I understand. Please be more careful when you go in and out recently, in case the wind is strong." Lin Ruhai nodded, and personally sent him out by the side door, and then returned to the study to ponder for a long time, also feeling a headache. Where does the home store everything.

Over there, Shen Yu resigned from Lin's mansion, turned around, got on his horse and galloped straight back to Beizhen Fusi, entered the yamen and went straight to see his immediate superior.Ma Zhao, the current commander of Jinyiwei, is sitting in the side hall, looking through Sun Shijia's confession, and checking the account books sent by Xue's family. Come in.Shen Yu followed the little official in to salute, Ma Zhao pointed to the chair and said, "Sit and talk."

Shen Yugong sat down with his hands clasped, and recounted everything that Lin's mansion had said just now, and added a few words at the end: "The lower official feels that Lin Ruhai is not lying, although he didn't say a few words, it is still a direction. He Since it is said that the things are in the hands of one of the four kings and eight princes, I am afraid that they are inseparable." Master Ma Zhaoma said: "These accounts were reported by the royal merchant Xue's family? Please go through it carefully." Shen Yu made the hidden Xue's restaurant At the beginning, the cook told the whole story of all the misunderstandings inside and outside, and only mentioned Baochai, trying not to make her stand out.Master Ma stroked his beard after hearing this: "I'm afraid the latter will have to fall on the Xue family, but he can understand the holy will and wake up, he must be a good family loyal to the emperor, and let them find their own way to get themselves Come out. It’s too late to find these things right now, and I’ll leave it to you to investigate secretly. As for the matter of the River Works, it will be a result of the official meeting of the Dachaohui in the future. It is estimated that another batch of dead ghosts will be arrested. Tell the brothers below not to work too hard."

Shen Yu promised, bowed her hands and saluted before retreating back to the stronghold to discuss arrangements with Liu Zian and Liu Qian.

Liu Zian was standing outside the stronghold talking to a tall and heroic young man, when he saw Shen Yu approaching from a distance, he hurriedly dismissed him with a few words, and raised his hand to greet Shen Yu.Seeing that they were getting close, Shen Yu got off her horse and stopped, smiled at the person who hadn't had time to leave and asked, "I wonder who this brother is?" Liu Zian pointed at the person and introduced: "This is my old cousin. My mother Didn't he separate from other people and set up a separate residence? He is a son of my mother's family from the side branch of Li Guogong's mansion. Both parents died and he has no real career. He is better off wandering in the market on weekdays, and likes to play romantic dramas. His surname is Liu and his name is Xianglian. Because he needs to find a job to settle down when he gets old, my mother asked me to find a job for him. My brother, besides, is really handsome in boxing and feet, and he is also handsome , I was just about to ask him if he would like to come and work with me from the bottom. After three or two years at least, I will change to a thousand households, and then marry a good wife so that my mother can rest assured."

Shen Yu thought in his heart that you have pulled people into Jinyiwei to be spies, and you even talked about marrying a good wife, so make your own plans first.But she nodded with a smile on her face and said: "This relationship is good, but there is a shortage of manpower. There is a new job assigned to the superior, and black and white must be reversed for a few days." He said with his hand, "I'll visit my aunt in a few days. I'll go back first, so I won't delay my brother's errands." Liu Zian said goodbye to him, and only then entered the stronghold house with Shen Yu when he saw someone walking out of the alley.Shen Yu walked side by side with him, passed the screen wall and the second gate, and said: "The commander said that the Hegong case will be given a result for the time being, and the water will be deep, and the investigation must be continued slowly. You move four kings and eight kilometers. Buried thread, I will find a way to infiltrate the Xue family and ask, maybe the case of Prince Yizhong, who broke things, and Lao Qiansui will also be explained here."

Liu Zian frowned and came up with an idea: "This Xue family has been cleaned up like an iron bucket, and nothing can be seen from the outside. How about this, I will send a few more vicious brothers to the door of Xue's house to make a few fights." , They came from Jinling, and if they were in a hurry, they would find some nursing homes. Not to mention that informants can easily get in, you can also use this as an excuse to come and sell them. It's a pity that the Xue family only relies on a girl in the middle of the house. If the method is a man, I really want to invite you into the North Town Fusi to sit in the capital, and it looks like a good hand!" Because he talked about the girl, Liu Zian rubbed his chin and smiled: "Hey, tell me about Shen Qian, what's the matter? How does the eldest girl of the Xue family match my brother? I just don’t know how she is born, but Xianglian intends to only ask for a stunning beauty to fulfill his wish, and he will look down on her for nothing.”

Shen Yu slapped him on the back when he heard it, and said: "You don't even look at the height of the lintels of the two families. Even if the Xue family has a merchant's background, there is a word 'Huang' in front of it. Wait for fourth-rank officials like you and me Not to mention that you are not in the eyes of others, your brother is afraid that he will be weighed by others." As he spoke, he recalled that he had dealt with Miss Xue several times before, and that her character, ability, and appearance were all top-notch, If she hadn't been born in a businessman, and her life expectancy is high now, she might really enter the palace and become a concubine, it's strange that everyone misses her.Immediately, it was like enlightenment, so I had to rush to my yard in a hurry, and I didn't have to listen to the old man's urging of marriage in the future.

When the discussion was over, he just rolled his eyes a few times and said to Liu Zi'an: "You make arrangements, when the Xue family is in a hurry, I will find a way to put someone next to Miss Xue, as long as you don't have a reputation as a bad person." My daughter-in-law, don't you have to take good care of her from the beginning?In order not to be called twisting ears and kneeling on the washboard in the future when Dong Chuang's incident happens, I hope that Miss Xue is as good as she is, and she is not so aggressive.

Liu Zi'an didn't doubt that there was him, so he flipped through the almanac, checked it against the book, and said: "In June, many people in Jia's family have passed their lives, and it is inevitable to invite relatives to a banquet. Then let people lie in ambush on the way back. If you get scared and go away, it must be done immediately. Just arrange whoever goes in and be ready, don't make extra troubles."
