Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

When Zhen Yingjia heard that King Yizhong had recovered, she wrote a letter to her daughter-in-law in Beijing, asking her to check out the tone of the palace and sincerely "renew the relationship" with King Yizhong.

Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with King Yizhong, and it would explode immediately.The trouble made his wife feel ashamed, and Zhen Yingjia had to live with her tail curled up.

As the saying goes, people live like skins, Zhen Yingjia remained calm on the surface, and did what he should do in Jinling, but in his heart... he was so anxious that he was about to boil over: his desire to return to Beijing to take up a job was probably going to fail.

The facts are obvious: If Jia Zheng stays in the south of the Yangtze River as an official, he will not only be a fifth-rank official, but also a fifth-rank official who has not been promoted for more than ten years. But for a family, the result of staying away from the political center for a long time No further chance.

Zhen Yingjia doesn't talk about ambitions, but he will never be satisfied with the position that the Zhen family has always been a local rich man in his hands.

After receiving Lin Hai's letter this time, Zhen Yingjia's old heart, as if soaked in ice water, suddenly warmed up a little: With the brothers from the Shi family as companions, it is a wise move to go to the Southwest.

He has nothing serious about his political achievements and credits. If he goes to Beijing to seek real vacancies, he can only fight for contacts and money... How can he lose money!

Zhen Yingjia sat in the study and pondered for a long time, during which time she read Lin Hai's letter over and over again: the letter introduced the current situation in Beijing and China one by one.

It is said that Lin Hai has always adhered to a principle: If you want to give a favor, then give it a real one.

Zhen Yingjia will naturally keep this favor in mind.At the same time, Zhen Yingjia agrees with this sentence: listen to people's advice and eat enough.When he had made his decision, his daughter-in-law's letter also "belatedly arrived".

Although Mrs. Zhen's family was so ashamed because of King Yizhong that she couldn't walk around with Prince Yizhong's mansion for a short time, but she had been the mistress for most of her life, but she was a master with a clear distinction between public and private.

In her letter to her husband, she wrote the whole truth: It is very difficult for the princes to get online, and if they do it by force, the price will be too high to be worth it.

With the current status and momentum of the Zhen family, taking refuge with the princes is called hugging thighs. How can there be any reason in this world to hug thighs without paying anything?

Besides, apart from the fourth prince who is weak and must have no hope of great treasure, the other three, five, seven, ninety-four princes... can't tell which one is extremely outstanding, can far surpass the other brothers, and even has the potential to win!

Don't forget that the Holy Majesty is only in his forties this year, and he is in his prime.The Holy Majesty may not have a very good way to deal with the Supreme Emperor, but it is really easy to deal with his son who is disobedient, filial and not yet powerful.

Mrs. Zhen's family felt that even if King Yizhong directly slapped her face, the Zhen family should still "rebuild the old good". In all fairness, the Zhen family was at fault first.

In the past, when King Yizhong was abolished, when King Suduan and King Zhongshun collected evidence of the abolition of the prince, some of the "evidence" handed in by Jia She and Jia Zheng were guided by the Zhen family. The most important purse of former prince Yizhong Wang.

The Zhen family is not always silent like the historians.

Both Zhen Yingjia and his daughter-in-law now feel that the Zhen family's little scheming in the past did not hide the truth from Yizhong Wang: If you want to avoid getting settled after the fall, then hurry up and do more meritorious service.

Now that Zhen Yingjia thinks about it, it won't work to just make meritorious service to please King Yizhong, and he probably needs to make up a vote: he really has to go to the Southwest...Anyway, it's worth a daotai.

Two days later, the ceremony was almost done, and he had also handed over to his successor colleagues. Zhen Yingjia had a rare leisure time at home, and was playing with his youngest son in his arms. Letters from Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also came along.

The two brothers have similar meanings, they haven't seen each other for many years, they miss each other very much, and look forward to reuniting in Beijing.

The Rong Mansion still wholeheartedly wanted to be good friends with the Zhen family, and they didn't mention the situation in Beijing and Central China at all in their letters... That's because their brothers really didn't know much and didn't know much about it, so they didn't "mislead others".

Holding the letter from these two good brothers in the past, Zhen Yingjia was filled with emotion. He shook his head and looked at the end of Jia Zheng's letter: Jia Zheng seems to intend to become a family with the Zhen family.Feeling that my children are growing up, especially I asked a few more questions from Miss Zhen Yingjia.

It was probably because Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were moved by hearing that the eldest daughter of his family had never found a good match in the capital.

It is said that King Yizhong is dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhen's family, and it will not be known to everyone.Therefore, Jia Zheng and his wife did not know that the eldest daughter of the Zhen family was in an embarrassing situation.

The couple would ask about Miss Zhen's situation. To put it bluntly, they just thought about what was in the pot while eating what was in the bowl.The couple have already realized that Daiyu, the daughter-in-law, cannot be easily obtained, even with the support of the imperial concubine.

Mrs. Wang once took advantage of Yuanchun's pregnancy in the first month of the lunar year. When she entered the palace, she mentioned Baoyu's marriage and asked the noble concubine to make up her mind. In the end, Yuanchun said "no hurry, mother is busy with business" and her face flushed with embarrassment and choked. Chest tightness: Why is it not a serious matter to find a wife for Baoyu?

How did she know that Yuan Chun was worried that his uncle would be involved in the old grievances of several old concubines. If this matter is not handled well, there is no need to worry about whether there is a good daughter-in-law, because the head is gone.

But Zhen Yingjia suddenly remembered that Baoyu in her family used to talk about Sister Lin for a while, but now... It seems that she has forgotten it!

Zhen Yingjia didn't think that Jia Zheng and his wife wanted to eat swan meat: the news of Yuan Chun's pregnancy had already reached his ears, and he had heard of Jia Baoyu's talent in Jinling, so Baodai was a good match just because of his family history.It's just...Jia Baoyu doesn't care much, and Mr. Lin probably doesn't like it.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yingjia had a headache: I have to say that Zhen Yingjia and Jia Zheng are really in the same boat when it comes to their son, especially the surviving eldest son.

The two Baoyus are both fourteen this year, and it is time to take a serious look at each other... However, Zhen Yingjia understands better than Jia Zheng, whether his son is tall or not!

An eager "Master" brought Zhen Yingjia back from his contemplation. He raised his eyes and saw his servant appearing by the door with sweat on his forehead.

Got the master's wink and hurried forward, the confidant who has been serving the master for seven or eight years bent almost in half, "Master, the girl in the master's room is happy." The wife is not at home, and this kind of thing has to be bothered. The master himself decides.

Zhen Yingjia's mind buzzed, and he said coldly without hesitation, "You can deal with it as you want."

But even in a place like Ning Mansion where even the stone lions at the entrance are not necessarily clean, there has never been any incident of a maidservant giving birth to a concubine's eldest son, let alone the Zhen family, which is more face-saving and well-behaved.

The servant retreated quickly, and Zhen Yingjia slammed his fist on the desk: How long has his wife been gone, and there is trouble in the back house?

That's all in Jinling. When he returns to Beijing or even becomes an official in the southwest, these are all ready-made excuses: self-cultivation, family management, and country peace.

Originally, he thought it would be fine to go back to Beijing to report on his work alone, but now it seems that he has to bring this troubled son along with him!

As soon as he was about to vent his anger, he heard several screams from the back house, followed by the roar of his confused son: "Let go! You bastard! You bastard!"

Thanks to Zhen Baoyu's age, he has never entertained cats and dogs outside, so he can't do any tricks in cursing...

But Zhen Yingjia's face turned gloomy, and she walked straight to the back house.The confidantes around hurriedly followed, and each of them lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

Just when Zhen Baoyu was yelling, "Who gave you the courage", he happened to appear behind his son, and lightly added, "I gave it to you."

At this moment, the old lady Zhen was also holding a cane, supporting the girl to appear tremblingly, but seeing the current situation, the old lady's eyes darkened, and she almost lost her breath.

Zhen Baoyu was holding a stool with both hands and seemed to be waving it wildly. After scaring away the women, she was also out of breath, and right at his feet, a girl with disheveled hair and an outstanding appearance was kneeling on the ground, sobbing softly.

This is the woman who came to arrest the man under Zhen Yingjia's order. As a result, the "human prisoner" didn't even touch a hair, but his young master turned him on his back: several nuns were beaten on the face and body. A few blows, not heavy, but uncomfortable in face.Especially the nanny who is leading the way to take this girl away is also the confidant of Mrs. Zhen's family, and she served Zhen Baoyu when she was a child.

Zhen Yingjia didn't care about these details at all, he rushed to his mother's side first, "Mother, are you alright?"

The old lady Zhen just didn't come up in one breath, and she was not confused. She stretched out her hand and waved away her anxious son, and looked at the precious grandson who was still holding the stool but was stunned by fright. The elderly parent sighed, " See what this looks like?"

No matter how much the old lady loves her grandson, she can't lose the reputation of the whole family.And the old man knew very well that even if she was reluctant to part with Zeng Shu's eldest grandson, her son would not show mercy.

The final outcome is naturally that Zhen Baoyu's slender arms can't twist his father's thighs, and he was pressed on the bed so that his father also slapped the back seat with a stool... and the girl who climbed on the young master's bed was also drugged and died later. sold out.

What's interesting is that this girl is not the son of the Zhen family, nor is she the first-class girl in front of Zhen Baoyu.That's how the silly boy got tricked!

Zhen Yingjia helped her forehead, and called her son, who was still unable to sit still, to him, and said earnestly once in a while, "You are not young anymore, because of a girl, you beat and scolded the nanny who is useful to your mother... such a nonsense On the scene, are you worthy of the old lady who treats you like a sharp-edged one?" After finishing speaking, he told his son what he could say about the current situation of the Zhen family.

Halfway through Zhen Baoyu's hearing, her face flushed red, and then her blood faded, her eyes widened, "Huh?"

He said so much earnestly, but his son only responded with an "ah"... Zhen Yingjia stroked his forehead: If you don't teach it carefully, I'm afraid it will be useless...

There is a limit to the love of the elders... Zhen Baoyu is still in the rebellious stage, and when he realized this, his heart ached to death.

Zhen Baoyu got a little annoyed, and let his father take a serious look.Zhen Yingjia didn't say anything serious, but couldn't hide her disappointment, "Let you be well-clothed and well-fed, and say the same. Now, you are actually repaying your grandmother and your father and me like this."

Zhen Baoyu, no matter how insane he is in secondary school, he still has a conscience.His father's words directly made Zhen Baoyu "sober".But this is enough to make Zhen Yingjia very happy.

When Zhen Yingjia came to Beijing and visited Lin Hai first after meeting the king, when the two chatted, Zhen Yingjia told Lin Hai all about her family's scandal and homeschooling.

Zhen Baoyu is much stronger than Jia Baoyu.

This was Lin Hai's first feeling: whether Zhen Baoyu is reckless or ignorant, at least he knows how to protect "one of his own" and knows how to resist; in the original book, Jia Baoyu seems to have committed a crime, and either escaped or stood obediently In front of parents, weep or get beaten afterwards...

It is said that a few days ago, Lin Hai casually found a job for Jia Rong as a petty official in the car driving department.In terms of grade alone, it was several grades worse than the Forbidden Dragon Captain that Jia Zhen sold to Jia Rong, but when Lin Hai sent the letter, Jia Zhen came to thank Jia Rong with Jia Rong... The gratitude did not seem to be fake.

Lin Hai suddenly felt that although Jia Zhen was an out-and-out beast and bastard, she would not be a venomous predator at present.

For this reason, Mrs. Wang murmured a few words to Jia Zheng secretly: Brother Lian and Brother Rong are so caring, but I don't see my brother-in-law looking for a good teacher for Baoyu...

Lin Hai had recommended a strict teacher to Baoyu long ago, and Baoyu is indeed studying with this gentleman now, Mrs. Wang is not ignorant, she just couldn't help complaining a few words--her daughter Yuanchun Youxi, her brother has just been appointed as a minister, a close minister of the emperor, indeed More confidence to complain.

Jia Zheng had also returned to his original post at this time, he was in a good mood, and his tone was very gentle, "If you don't have fame and fame, it's not the right way." This sentence is very fair, and Jia Zheng himself has a deep understanding of this sentence, "Baoyu Can't go my way."

How can Mrs. Wang not know that reading the imperial examination is the right way?She just couldn't bear Baoyu's son to suffer - Baoyu has lost a little weight since he came to visit his teacher after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is said that Jia Baoyu's current master never taught him the skills of the eight-legged essay and other serious imperial examinations. He only taught him poetry and the Four Books and Five Classics, and Baoyu did not have any conflicts. I".

Baoyu was busy studying and didn't spend much time in the back house. Xiren didn't see the second master all day long; She brought some good news—good tidbits.

Anyway, everyone gets what they want...

It is rare to have a month of silence, and when the northern spring is warm and the flowers bloom, it is true that when the rivers and rivers melt and the earth returns to spring, the people of Beidi will break the pass.

The two dynasties faced each other for the first time, and the Beidi people captured a general on the battlefield... This person happened to be Jia Daishan's former subordinate, an old friend of the Rong Mansion, and... the side concubine of Yizhong Wang, her cousin...

Just preparing food and pay for the Northwest is enough for Lin Hai to be exhausted. When he heard in the court that this person had defected to the enemy, he could also mourn for the Rongfu: It's really a bad time...
