The World of Peace in the Red Mansion
Chapter 42
No one in the capital knows that Prince Zhongshun has the most perverse temper, but he is also favored by the emperor, and the imperial censor's repeated impeachments are all in vain.Therefore, even though the people present were from everyone, they didn't dare to offend the prince, so naturally they dared not refuse.
The crowd followed Zhang Xu upstairs and entered the compartment, only to see a few people inside. On the way there, Zhang Xu introduced the nobles inside, so that they would know what to do and avoid committing big crimes. Offended people by mistake.
Shen Jinyu was lucky enough to meet Prince Zhongshun once, but now he immediately recognized the one in the middle as the prince.The one sitting at the side looked somewhat similar to Prince Shun, and there were two other people present who were related to Prince Shun, so I don't know which one this is.
He originally came in with the crowd and only observed secretly, but suddenly felt a line of sight that seemed to be sizing him up, looking back inadvertently, and just happened to see the young man standing by the window beside him.
Zhanbiqiao, green bamboo and Yiyi, there are bandits and gentlemen, who are as cutting as they are, as if they are as sharp as grinding.Shen Jinyu suddenly jumped out of the words in the Book of Songs in his heart, and sighed, he really deserved to be that heir. When he was young, he had the honor to meet the late champion, and he was also the most respected person in his heart.
He had long heard that the champion Hou had a son who grew up in the court since he was a child, and was taught by Prince Mingxuan himself. He heard that he was quite the father of his father, but his temperament was quite good, very arrogant and domineering.Although he didn't know him, he was certain that this person should be Cheng Xiao, the heir of Duke Cheng, the son of former champion Hou Chengqi.
Shen Jinyu looked back at Cheng Xiao, the two looked at each other, and then staggered.But they each have their own thoughts.
Today's meeting was indeed Cheng Xiao's deliberate purpose. Before they came up, Tu Jing and Zhongshun Wang Tuke both intentionally or unintentionally tested his purpose, but he blocked them all.
Not to mention that Shen Jinyu has a very high opinion of Cheng Xiao, but that Cheng Xiao is also a little uncertain about how old Shen Jinyu is compared to Cheng Xiao. Compared with the young man who has not yet opened his eyes, Shen Jinyu is obviously more mature, with a calm temperament and a decent demeanor.A little worry flashed in Cheng Xiao's heart, and he was secretly annoyed at Lin Hai's idea. Obviously, Miss Lin is still young, so why is she in such a hurry to ask someone to do something.
But these words were just to vent his dissatisfaction. He also understood that Lin Hai was only a daughter, so he naturally had to plan well for her. Fortunately, no formal marriage contract was concluded, and it seemed that the Shen family's attitude might not be intentional.
If you say that this matter is the aftermath of the last visit to Fahua Temple, you can only say that although Cheng Xiao met Daiyu once when he was in Jiangnan, he fell in love with her at that time, but he didn't really settle down, and he didn't have any plans.It wasn't until we saw each other again at Fahua Temple that Daiyu's figure really imprinted in his heart, and that glance and smile always reminded him.
He is decisive, and now that he has made up his mind, he will no longer be as careless as before. After returning to Beijing, he will send someone to secretly make arrangements for the Lin family's affairs, so that he has a plan.I didn't want this action to lead to another thing.
The Lin family was also a Marquis for their military merits, but they were released from the military power and no longer in charge of military affairs, and even Lin Hai became an official through the imperial examination.It's just that such a family still has some way out. The Lin family has loyal iron guards for generations, but after several generations have been reduced to Lin Hai, there is only one left.The Lin family had no descendants, so naturally they did not continue.It's just that the remaining iron guard secretly protected the last bone and blood of the Lin family.
Although what Cheng Xiao did was secretive, it really alarmed this person. Fortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides.Since this person has such an identity, Cheng Xiao didn't hide it, so he straight to the point and made it clear that he adores the daughter of the Lin family.
The iron guard was loyal to the Lin family, but he also knew that there was no one in the Lin family, and his little master had to find a suitable family after all.He didn't have a bad feeling towards Cheng Xiao, so he naturally sent a message.Of course, the reason why he did this was because he was dissatisfied with the Shen family.
He delivered the letter himself, and he handles the private affairs of the Lin family. He not only delivered the letter but also knew the content of the letter.Lin Hai wouldn't point all this at his former friendship, so there was no famous statement in the letter that the two families should get engaged, it just said that this daughter is young, and if the Shen family is willing, they can conclude the marriage after the filial piety. If you don't want to engage in a marriage contract, just treat it as nothing, and please take care of him for his sake.
Back then, Lin Hai and Shen Bin joked that they would marry in-laws in the future. If it wasn't for this, Lin Hai would never have brought up this matter.It's just that the Shen family doesn't intend to admit it.Although Lin Hai said so, if the Shen family had the heart, not to mention the marriage, they should treat Daiyu kindly, but now it seems that there is nothing to do.
With Tie Wei's suggestion, Cheng Xiao immediately understood what his biggest problem would be if he asked to marry Miss Lin.
Obviously Miss Lin didn't know about this marriage, but if the Shen family had no intentions, it would be fine. If the Shen family had intentions, the matchmaker told her that Lin Hai didn't confirm the marriage, but since he said so, it means He is happy with the marriage of the two families.Then he would have no chance at all. When he first learned about this, he was very discouraged. He didn't want to take Tiewei but gave him another promise.
Lin Hai is considerate in dealing with things, and it is about Daiyu, I'm afraid I'm thinking less than I am afraid of thinking too much, if the Shen family has other thoughts and doesn't want to ask for a marriage, forget it, I'm afraid they will ruin their daughter.Therefore, he also left a letter to Tiewei, saying that he can make decisions about Daiyu's marriage.
Of course, according to Tiewei's thoughts, he would not interfere with his master's marriage. He only looked at Daiyu's thoughts, but it was just the current fashion. There are no women who decide their own marriages, so they can only rely on their parents' wishes.
At that time, Cheng Xiao only felt that the sky and the earth were just a matter of a moment.Because of this, he put the name Shen Jinyu in his heart. He originally wanted to find a chance to take a look, but he didn't know that it happened by such a coincidence.
It's just that after seeing it, the alarm bells in my heart became more and more loud, and I was secretly glad that the elders of the Shen family didn't plan to get married.
Speaking of it, Cheng Xiao and Shen Jinyu looked at each other and thought about each other in the blink of an eye.Zhang Xu had already made an introduction for several people.
Although Zhongshun has a perverse temper, he is the most shrewd, and has long since discovered that Cheng Xiao's attention is on Shen Jinyu.The Shen family is the emperor's confidant, Shen Jinyu is quite talented and has a good future, but this is not worthy of Cheng Xiao's attention, at least not worthy of his attention now.Maybe in the future these two will probably be important ministers in the court, but right now they are a bit far behind. After all, Shen Jinyu is still just a small recruit, while Cheng Xiao is already the deputy commander of the imperial guards, and the official rank is third.
Therefore, his eyes also fell on Shen Jinyu's body for fun: "This is the eldest son of the Shen University scholar. I heard that he has a good literary talent. Today is such a good day, and you all can help."
These words were too frivolous, Shen Jinyu and the few people who came with him frowned slightly. Among them, either their father and brother were officials in the court, or they were from a scholarly family. Naturally, they weren't those from poor families who only flattered.It's just that this person has a noble status, even if he feels angry in his heart, he dare not speak out.
On the contrary, Tu Jing felt that it was too helpful, so he changed the saying tactfully: "On the Lantern Festival, it is a great blessing to make friends through literature. Got it." After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down.
Everyone was busy talking, but they all raised their glasses and drank together.Secretly thought, the son of Mingxuan is very friendly.
But he didn't want to hear a sudden voice: "You have to look to find out if you are a real talent or not. It's not just a few compliments from others." Cheng Xiao's eyes fell on Shen Jinyu's body and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Tu Jing's face became a little weird, and one of the other people who didn't know his temper said angrily: "If you think about it, you should be born in a famous family, you should have extraordinary talents and learning, and you can't compare with the inferior."
These words were clearly intended to be sarcastic, and Tu Jing immediately became a little angry, he was a protective Cheng Xiao, and he couldn't let this little guy say it, as expected, he was too polite.
It's a pity that he didn't say anything, but Zhongshun took the lead, "Isn't it, if you compare with the last one, it will be fine. Since it's the Lantern Festival, we should have a lottery. Bring that lantern."
Tu Jing stared, the cousin who didn't think it was a big deal, although he was not afraid of his identity, it was just that he couldn't directly refute it.
Shen Jinyu's complexion is not pretty, and he doesn't know how things have come to this point, Cheng Xiao's looming hostility towards him combined with Prince Zhongshun's spoiling the situation, if it is really just a reconciliation between friends, of course it is not a problem .But Cheng Xiao is a military general, and if he competes with them in talent, they will be inferior if he wins or loses.
Zhongshun asked people to bring up pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and put them in front of everyone one by one, making it clear that he was just for fun.The others looked at each other in blank dismay and refused to move.But I saw Cheng Xiao stepping forward from the window, holding up a pen with one hand and dipping it in the ink, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and it was weird to be accompanied by the faint fire outside the window.
He held the pen in his hand, and just when everyone thought he was going to write, he threw the pen away, and the ink stained the entire white paper, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm not your clean-up man. Go to the theater and find them."
Then he stood with his hands behind his back and faced Shen Jinyu who was on the side, "Everyone knows that Shen Lang is good at singing, so I will be lucky enough to let the official see it that day."
Shen Jinyu said with a smile: "But everyone praises it, if the son is interested, he must accompany him."
Cheng Xiao nodded, "Don't forget your words."
No one thought that the situation would be reversed, but the matter was taken over in this promise, only Zhongshun's face was not good-looking, and there was a faint look of displeasure in his eyes.
At this moment, the person who was ordered to fetch the lantern came up. That lantern was really beautiful. It was not the current one, but it came from outside. I don’t know what it was made of. Since it is not a kind of If you light a candle, you may be able to see several kinds of light.The value of such a lamp can be imagined.Some of them regretted it. They knew that such a good thing should have been compared just now.
But this is just to say in my heart, today's atmosphere is really weird, it's better to avoid muddy water.
It's just that Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up after seeing this, and he didn't dare other people to just take it and said to Zhongshun, "Give this to me, and I will give you a big gift later." After saying that, he took it and was about to leave.
The crowd followed Zhang Xu upstairs and entered the compartment, only to see a few people inside. On the way there, Zhang Xu introduced the nobles inside, so that they would know what to do and avoid committing big crimes. Offended people by mistake.
Shen Jinyu was lucky enough to meet Prince Zhongshun once, but now he immediately recognized the one in the middle as the prince.The one sitting at the side looked somewhat similar to Prince Shun, and there were two other people present who were related to Prince Shun, so I don't know which one this is.
