Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Xue Yuan handed in the papers of impeachment of Zhen's family. He was not qualified to go to court, but his papers were directly handed over to the emperor by the cabinet.It lists all kinds of crimes against the Zhen family, such as deficient in office, embezzling salt tax, extorting high profits, embezzling and accepting bribes, seizing fertile land, disregarding human life, etc., which add up to enough to have the Zhen family raided dozens of times.

The emperor stayed in middle school and went to the Taishanghuang with the booklet. He thought he would run into trouble with the Taishanghuang, and he was ready to be reprimanded by the Taishanghuang, but the Taishanghuang waved his hand and said: "Just check according to the regulations. It doesn't matter, but you have to remember that Shi Yi is your younger brother."

The Supreme Emperor originally kept the Zhen family for his eleventh son, so that the eleventh son would be able to protect himself after the new emperor ascended the throne, but now the Zhen family not only cannot help the eleventh, but has become a trend that cannot be lost, and the most important thing is The most important thing is that the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River only took the sky with one hand, sold their officials and titles, and even murdered court officials, which has threatened the majesty of the emperor, and this is something that the Supreme Emperor cannot tolerate.

In the mind of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor was his chosen successor. He never thought of abolishing the emperor. He hoped that the emperor would respect him and his subjects would still listen to him, but he also hoped that his subjects would listen to the emperor.He is sympathetic to the old minister, but he has been the emperor for nearly 40 years, so he naturally knows what is good for the court, and he will never let his selfish desires threaten the safety of the court.

With the permission of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor acted resolutely and immediately sent Zhen Yingjia to the prison and ordered the three divisions to interrogate him. To the emperor's surprise, King Shen was the emperor's eleventh younger brother and Zhen Yingjia's nephew. The emperor smiled, and also wanted to see what the younger brother wanted to do, whether to shield the Zhen family or kill the relatives, so he readily agreed.

Knowing the attitude of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, all the officials impeached the Zhen family one after another. The emperor not only imprisoned the officials of the Zhen family who were related to Zhen Yingjia, but also summoned Zhen Lin among the members of the Zhen family to interrogate Yangzhou. Some officials in the salt class actually involved Lin Hai.

The emperor was furious and threw the account books of Lin Hai's salt tax payment in Yangzhou for several years in front of those people, but Lin Hai still took the initiative to ask for a break to avoid suspicion.

After the court was over, Lin Yang looked worried, but Lin Hai patted his hand funnyly and said, "We have a clear conscience, what are you worried about?" Lin Hai took a deep breath and smiled, "It's just that I can rest for a while, I haven't Go to that Zhuangzi, I heard from your sister that the Zhuangzi is very exquisite, and it has the taste of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lin Yang couldn't help pouring cold water on him and said: "You can't leave the capital now, you can only stay at home." Lin Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that he could only stay in the Lin Mansion, and the entire Lin Mansion There are only two masters, he and Lin Yang. After Lin Yang goes to the yamen, he will be alone. Lin Hai can't help but regret that he has to take a break. Save yourself."

Lin Yang had a playful smile on his face: "Father is lonely in the mansion alone, why don't I ask for leave to be with my father?" Lin Hai couldn't help but punched him, and Lin Yang helped Lin Hai get into the carriage without hiding his smile.Lin Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Something happened to the Zhen family, and the Jia family had to come to plead for mercy. What does father plan to do?"

Lin Hai squinted his eyes and said: "There is no one in the inner house, so we can only send men from the Jia family. Jia Zheng claims that a gentleman can't do such a thing. As for Jia Amnesty, do you think he is facing our family or the Zhen family?" What about it?" Lin Yang thought that Jia She, Jia Mu, and the second room were never on the same mind, and Jia She would most likely contradict what Jia Mu meant.

Sure enough, Jia She came to the Lin family and had a drink with Lin Hai to appreciate the antiques. Then he took the treasure that Lin Hai gave him and went back to Jia's house contentedly. And with Lord Shen watching, the Zhen family will not be wronged." Mother Jia couldn't help but want to hit Jia Amnesty with the crutch in her hand, of course she would not wrong the Zhen family, but she hoped to keep the Zhen family safe.

Jia Amnesty was a bit surprised why Mother Jia wanted to protect the Zhen family so much. Mother Jia's temper was mostly clean, but he was too lazy to use his brain, and he just returned to himself without asking Mother Jia. I went to play with the antiques brought back from the Lin family.

Mother Jia was at her wit's end, she couldn't go directly to see Lin Hai, Jia Min took Daiyu to the outskirts of Beijing, Gu Jing returned to her mother's house, there was no one in the Lin family's back house, she could only secretly pray in her heart that the Zhen family could hide Get through this calamity.

But at this time, the Lin family's Zhuangzi was enjoying themselves. Mu Zheng went to the academy to pick up Lin Yun and sent him back to the Lin family in person. It stands to reason that Lin Yun should receive Mu Zheng, and Jia Min should be the one who received Mu Zheng, but Jia Min didn't think about Mu Zheng. When I came back suddenly, I went to a nearby monastery to offer incense. Daiyu was the only one at home.

Lin Yun was dissatisfied with Mu Zheng, although he returned home under the lure of Mu Zheng, but he didn't intend to talk to Mu Zheng, as soon as he arrived at the Lin family's Zhuangzi, he ran to the back to find Daiyu, and left Mu Zheng alone in the main hall. There was no one to serve tea.

When Daiyu heard the news of Mu Zheng's arrival, she was embarrassed and uneasy, and lingered behind for a long time. Later, it was Mu Zheng who sent someone to say that she had something to say to Daiyu, and Daiyu made up her mind to bring her displeasure. Lin Yun went to the front yard.

Daiyu was accompanied by a maidservant and Lin Yun. Nurse Ding thought that Daiyu and Mu Zheng would be husband and wife in the future, so they could get acquainted with each other first, so she turned a blind eye and let Daiyu meet Mu Zheng. .

As soon as Mu Zheng saw Daiyu's graceful figure, she came towards him with flowers and willows, his eyes immediately lit up, and his expression softened a bit, making the girls who followed Daiyu blush, and Daiyu saw him scorching He immediately looked away and changed the subject: "Why is there no one serving tea?"

Zhu Xuan hurriedly ordered people to serve tea, Daiyu felt that she had neglected Mu Zheng and made him wait in the living room for a long time, so she brought a teapot and poured tea for Mu Zheng herself, but Mu Zheng kept his eyes on her, watching Daiyu felt uncomfortable and flustered, she didn't check the teapot in her hand and spilled a few drops of hot tea onto the table.

Seeing that Daiyu wasn't scalded, Mu Zheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the table, took the teapot from Daiyu's hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a chuckle, "Did Yanyan just want to splash tea before gambling on books? "He lowered his voice, and there was a hint of charm in the originally magnetic voice, which stirred Daiyu's heartstrings.

Daiyu's face turned red all of a sudden. This is an allusion between Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng. Although Mu Zheng said it in response to the scene, it sounded provocative, and he called it so kindly, which made Daiyu uneasy. Rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, he glanced at Mu Zheng with shame and annoyance.

Seeing her delicate chin, white and slender neck, Mu Zheng's heart was already on fire, and when he saw Daiyu looking at him shyly and timidly, her eyes rolled around, and there was a charm that was different from her usual dignified and generous, and she felt even more His whole body seemed to be on fire, his voice was a little dry and tight, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yanyan."

But before he could say anything, Lin Yun reacted and stopped in front of Daiyu and said with a full face: "My sister has already poured tea for you, so you should speak directly if you have anything to say."

Only then did Mu Zheng remember that there was a brother-in-law who was staring at him with deep hostility and regretted in his heart that if he had known that Jia Min was not there, he would not have sent Lin Yun back to the door. At that time, there would still be this obstructive person there. Woolen cloth.

Mu Zheng didn't speak, and looked around. Daiyu understood that he didn't want the girls to hear him, but if he really rejected the girls, it would be too unruly. Mu Zheng saw Daiyu's hesitation and smiled: "I Seeing that the water lilies are blooming just right outside, sister Yan might as well take me to have a look."

Daiyu nodded slightly, took Lin Yun's hand and walked towards the pool, the girls fell far behind, Mu Zheng glanced at Lin Yun who had been staring at him, frowned imperceptibly and said to Daiyu: "Come on Someone in the hall impeached the Zhen family, and my uncle has resigned at home to avoid suspicion."

Daiyu was a little flustered when she heard this, but after seeing Mu Zhengyun's indifferent demeanor, she felt a lot more at ease in her heart, and she asked, "Father, he..."

Mu Zheng stretched out his hand and touched Lin Yun's head, and when Lin Yun ducked away angrily, he smiled lightly and said: "It's all right, I'm here to tell you, I just don't want you to know the news suddenly, and worry in my heart. Your Majesty Uncle Kua is honest and upright and dedicated to the public, so naturally no one will get involved with Uncle, Uncle will be safe and sound, Uncle's move is just to avoid suspicion."

Seeing that Daiyu and Lin Yun's expressions improved, Mu Zheng felt a little disappointed. After finishing talking, he had no excuse to stay and talk to Daiyu. Who knew that Daiyu said politely: "It's almost time for lunch, Mu ...Brother might as well stay and have dinner and go back." Mu Zheng looked at Lin Yun who disapproved and Daiyu who was polite, and couldn't help but want to tease him, and said cheekily: "Okay."

Daiyu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, why is this person so thick-skinned, she was just being polite, how could she stay with the trend? Seeing Daiyu's surprised expression, Mu Zheng couldn't help laughing, saying : "I'm kidding, I have to go back, I have to go back to accompany my grandmother."

Daiyu felt a little shy because of his laughter, but when Mu Zheng mentioned his grandmother, she still couldn't help asking: "How is the princess, but it's getting better?" Mu Zheng restrained his smile, and his expression was also a little worried. Said: "There are good times and bad times, even when spring comes, I can't get out of bed."

Daiyu remembered that only Mu Zheng and the princess depended on each other in the huge mansion. When the princess got sick, Mu Zheng didn't know how worried and anxious he was. He still had to run errands and take care of his grandmother. Daiyu felt a little sour, and said: "Brother Mu, don't worry too much. The princess will worry even more when she sees you, and the illness will recover more slowly." Daiyu lowered her voice and said, "Brother Mu should also take care of his body."

Mu Zheng felt warm in his heart, and said softly, "I see, you should go back quickly."
