Practical Life in the Red Mansion

The matter of Xu's family has come to an end, and Jia Min is just expressing emotion with Lin Yang. Although Jia Min is a housewife, she has heard a little about Xu Zhifu's actions. Mrs. Xu and Ms. Xu are gone. Jia Min wanted to get acquainted with Mrs. Xu, and secretly sent someone to visit Ms. Xu. Then Ms. Xu has already brought her home. Mrs. Xu took care of everything properly, so Jia Min felt relieved .

But Lin Yang was sensitively aware that there was an awkwardness between his father and Mr. Yang. In the past, after his father came home from the office and had dinner with them, he would go to Mr. Yang from time to time to drink tea and talk about books and paintings.But recently, my father was gone.

Lin Yang went to find Lin Hai, and when Lin Yang said his intentions in a roundabout way, Lin Hai cut to the chase and said, "The matter of the Xu family was written by my father."

Lin Yang was a little taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Hai to make the move.

"Xu E's talents do have some talents, but he is arrogant and self-indulgent. He indulges his subordinates to sell officials and nobles. He is in the fish and meat village. His brother of a concubine uses his name to forcefully sell other people's land and seize other people's girls. On the day you come back, the bitter master will come. In front of me, I will impeach Xu E."

Lin Yang is still a little puzzled, what does this have to do with Mr. Yang's Qi.

"The sufferer was arranged by Yang Ziqi, and he also asked the sufferer to stop me on the road on the day I went out. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Yang Ziqi and I would go out for a spring outing and the sufferer would meet him."

Lin Yang defended his husband: "My husband is also kind, and I can't bear that the sufferer is cornered. Knowing that my father is upright, he will definitely make the decision for the sufferer."

"Stop praising him. I'm not angry that he is the master of the sufferer. When encountering such a thing, I will deal with it fairly and give the sufferer an explanation. What makes me angry is that he is plotting against me. You think it's just a sufferer calling for grievances. Is something wrong?" Lin Hai's expression was a little stern. "Xu E is a narrow-minded person who should hold grudges. The sufferer shouted grievances in the street and made things big. Even if I didn't do anything, Xu E would still hold grudges against me. For my own sake, I have to impeach Xu E, and my hand If you hold some evidence of Xu E, you can also impeach him."

Lin Yang was a little puzzled, "Although Mr. did this to plot against his father, he did nothing wrong." Lin Yang still felt that there was something in it that made him ignore it.

Lin Hai sighed and said, "Do you know who Xu E belongs to? He belongs to the fifth prince. The fifth prince is about to recommend him to participate in politics."

Lin Yang went through it in his mind. Mr. Yang borrowed his father's hand to get rid of the fifth prince. "Does Mr. Yang have any entanglements with the fifth prince? What he did made his father offend the fifth prince."

However, Lin Yang suddenly thought of something, and said to Lin Hai: "No, father, I remember that the day I came back, my mother went to visit Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu was sending Miss Xu away. Presumably, she already knew that the magistrate Xu was going to do something wrong. But that day my father just met the sufferer, and he has not yet impeached Xu Zhifu." The time is not right.

Lin Hai sat by the lamp, his whole body lost the spirit of the past, a little more vicissitudes, he was a little relieved when he heard his son's words, and said to Lin Yang: "This is the real purpose of Yang Ziqi. When Xu E was working in Kaifeng He was greedy for money to build the river, and cut corners to cause the Yellow River to burst its embankment. Because of the fifth prince, he was lucky enough to escape and came to Yangzhou to take up a job. Unexpectedly, when the seventh prince checked the old account of the account department, he found out that it was as early as the day the bitter master saw me. , the Seventh Prince impeached Xu E, and the Emperor was preparing to deal with Xu E, and received my impeachment note."

Only then did Lin Yang understand: "Sir, let outsiders think that my father has taken refuge in the Seventh Prince, or let my father take refuge in the Seventh Prince."

Lin Haidao: "Ziqi grew up with me, and he knew that I would impeach Xu E even if I knew that I would fall into this situation today. I counted my father's temper. But Ziqi." Lin Hai paused." Ziqi was very clever since he was a child. He had read many books and knew many things. He was favored by the empress dowager Yang and supported by the Yang family. The empress and the crown prince died, and the Yang family also half-retired. Ziqi suffered a huge blow, but he was even more unscrupulous in his actions. He was stubborn and did not allow others to refute him. Just like this time, he is optimistic about the seventh prince. But he didn't want to join in, so he designed to let me join in."

"Mr. teaches me poetry and books every day, and he is not a radical and reckless person. How could he take refuge in the prince early. He also warned me not to easily participate in the matter of seizing the heir, even if he cannot be reused in the future because he is a pure minister. It’s easy to rely on the prince.”

"Back when Ziqi came to Yangzhou, we talked about it. We meant to wait and see what happened. However, a few days ago, Yang Xi received a letter from Fujian saying that his sister who married the king of Dongping County was seriously ill. Not only did the king of Dongping not allow anyone to see the princess, but he even planned to marry a bride, who was the distant cousin of the fifth princess. Fortunately, Ziqi's nephew invited the princess back in time, which saved the princess' life. Ziqi learned that Feeling enraged by this matter, I took refuge in the Seventh Prince."

"Father, what's the matter now, what's father's plan?" Lin Yang asked. In the eyes of outsiders, their Lin family had already boarded the Seventh Prince's bandit. They had to come down and offend the Seventh Prince, or go all the way to the end.It's just that the father is the emperor's confidant, so the Seventh Prince and his father can't please the emperor. Lin Yang complained that his husband was not careful in doing things.

"What do you think?" Lin Hai interrupted Lin Yang's thoughts and asked.

"I, father, you were single-handedly promoted by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks, but in this way, the emperor will think that the confidants he personally selected are in collusion with his son, and you will definitely be rejected by the emperor. The emperor knows that you are still his confidant, and you are innocent with all the princes." As for how the emperor treats the seventh prince, let my husband worry about it.

Lin Hai nodded with some relief, "I've already made plans for my father, since I impeached one person, why not impeach a few more." Lin Hai added: "It's the Seventh Prince."

Lin Yang said: "Father did this to let the emperor know that you and the seventh prince are not on good terms, but whether you will offend the seventh prince." Having already offended a prince, and offending another prince, the situation is really bad.

"You underestimate the Seventh Prince too much. If he is a small-bodied person, you, Mr. Yang, would also look down on him." Lin Hai said lightly.

Lin Yang suddenly understood something in seconds, he jumped up, and said excitedly: "Father." Lin Hai glanced at him, and Lin Yang took back the words that came to his lips, as long as he understands some things, there is no need to say anything.

Lin Yang came out of Lin Hai, and stopped by Yang Xi's place. Yang Xi was lazily lying on the wicker chair in the yard watching the stars. When he saw him coming, he didn't lift his eyelids: "You are here, you know La."

"Yes, I know all about it."

"Your father is a man who sounds cautious and careful, but is timid and fearful when he sounds bad. He has to be pushed by others." It seems that Yang Xi was also very angry, and criticized him in front of his son. Lin Hailai.Lin Yangzi complained in his heart, his father died when he was young, and he walked alone for many years without the help of his clan, but Mr. Yang, you were a bully in Beijing in your early years. The two grew up in different environments and naturally have different personalities.

Yang Xi said again: "Whatever you should do in the future, just bury it in your heart when you know it." Yang Xi's words were a little vague, but Lin Yang understood that the two sides were only tacit, and the difference was still clear on the surface.

Lin Yang asked cautiously: "The current situation has come to this." Could it be that the Lin family really had to make a choice.

"Yes." Yang Xi replied with only one word, and Yang Xi had his own way to know the news from Beijing.

Lin Yang sat beside him in silence.

After a few days, Lin Yang learned that his father had impeached the Seventh Prince, and the Emperor happily slapped him off. The Seventh Prince impeached his father for usurping his power, but the Emperor refused to publish it, and even praised Lin Haiyi verbally. Fan.The wife of Yao Zhongxing, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, took her children north to worship their ancestors, passing through Yangzhou. Jia Min took Lin Yang and Daiyu to visit.

Yao Zhongxing's wife is over fifty years old, and this time she mainly brought her eldest grandson and his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law back home to worship their ancestors. The wife of the Bank of China went north in the name of worshiping the ancestors, first to find out the news and second to deal with some things.

Yao Zhongxing is the confidant of the emperor's confidant, and Yao Zhongxing's wife stayed in Yangzhou on purpose, maybe she was testing the Lin family and finding out the details of the Lin family. Naturally, the Lin family attached great importance to it. It was not convenient for Lin Hai to come forward, and the heavy responsibility fell on Jia Min and Lin Yang. Yes, I want people who pass through the Yao family to show their loyalty to the Holy One without any trace.

Lin Yang also inquired about Yao Jingxing, the eldest grandson of Yao Zhongxing, although most of them said that he was a generous and honest person, usually quiet in speech and quick in action, obsessed with learning, and ignored world affairs.But how can the eldest grandson who can let Yao Zhongxing, an old fox, surpass the eldest son to cultivate him is a generous and honest person.However, since his reputation abroad is that he likes to read, he can come to Lin Yang to discuss poetry and books with him if he wants to.

Yao Jingxing did have a simple, honest, gentlemanly face, but the more honest a person is, the more he will pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. After meeting him, he knew that Lin Yang was the leader of the examination, so he dragged Lin Yang to discuss knowledge. up.During the period, Yao Jingxing tried to test a few words, but Lin Yang pretended not to understand because he was still young, and only talked about knowledge.Seeing this, Yao Jingxing didn't try to test it out, so he concentrated on talking about knowledge with Lin Yang, but later told his grandmother that Lin Yang was either an innocent and scheming fool, or a cunning and cunning little fox.

Seeing Jia Min's slightly happy face, Lin Yang knew that the goal had been achieved, so he sat in the carriage with Jia Min and Daiyu cheekily, and said coquettishly to Jia Min: "Mother, Brother Yao and I have talked all morning about knowledge. My head is going to explode, I want to go back and eat delicious food." Then she pulled Jia Min's sleeve like a child, and Daiyu also followed her brother's example, pulling Jia Min's other sleeve, Milky voice: "Eat delicious food."

Jia Min patted her son's hand in amused manner, "How old is she and she's acting like a baby, Yu'er is also good at learning." Daiyu heard her mother mention her name, but she didn't understand what it meant, her big eyes flickered at him. Looking at Jia Min, Lin Yang hugged Daiyu with a smile: "Yanyan is kissing me, what delicious food does Yanyan want to eat?"

Daiyu's eyes lit up: "I want some snacks." Then she counted with her fingers: "horseshoe cake, cloud slice cake, hazelnut cake..." Daiyu's life was not as frail and sick as the book said. There are no taboos about eating, and she has a good appetite. Like Lin Yang, she likes to eat snacks, but Jia Min doesn't allow her to eat more. One is afraid of delaying her serious diet, and the other is afraid of being gluttonous, so she is rationed every day.Lin Yang knew Jia Min's intentions, but for Daiyu's sake, he naturally supported Jia Min unswervingly. Unfortunately, every time he was defeated by his younger sister's coquetry, but he couldn't be Jia Min's master. He broke his promise and signed a series of unequal treaties in front of Daiyu.

Jia Min looked at his son and daughter talking with a smile on the side, and seeing Lin Yang's embarrassment, he didn't let go of the siege, and said with a half-smile: "Yu'er only wants to be with your brother, and your brother will naturally get it for you."

Daiyu looked at Lin Yang expectantly when she heard the words. Lin Yang couldn't bear to disappoint her sister, but in the Lin family without Jia Min's permission, no one could give Daiyu snacks privately, and naturally Lin Yang didn't dare to give Daiyu a snack secretly. Yu can only look at Jia Min eagerly: "Mother~"

Seeing his son's pitiful appearance, Jia Min couldn't keep teasing him, saying: "Today, you can eat an extra piece of each item." Lin Yang and Daiyu both smiled happily, and Jia Min couldn't help but said to Lin Yang: "You can't do everything. Follow her, if you can't do it, you won't lose your majesty as a big brother."

On the other hand, Lin Yang made Daiyu giggle: "I don't want to be a majestic elder brother." Then he laughed and said to Jia Min: "Father is used to being a strict father, and secretly asked me why I was in front of Daiyu. I'm not so serious, I'm afraid Daiyu won't get close to him." Jia Min laughed when she heard this.

Looking at the smiling faces of Jia Min and Daiyu, Lin Yang felt extremely happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
