Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

The master showed a slight worry on his face, but Jia Min could see it immediately.So the couple fell silent.

Seeing this, Daiyu, who had been fiddling with her younger brother, but actually paying close attention to what her parents said, stood up and smiled, "My daughter is a bit tired." After speaking, she called the girl and the nanny to come in, and took the three younger brothers away together. After the salute, he quickly left.

No matter how preoccupied Jia Min is, as long as she thinks of her three sons and one daughter, especially her daughter's bright eyes and understanding of her parents, she can laugh no matter what, "It's not in vain to pet her."

Lin Hai couldn't agree more, "Daughter is born less."

Daiyu would solve their worries and problems for the couple, at least she knew how to make them happy by looking at her parents. As for the brats...doesn't he have to burn incense if he doesn't cause trouble for him?

Jia Min changed his posture to make room, and stretched out his hand to pull the master to his side.At the moment there are only two husbands and wives in the room, Jia Minfang said, "It's out of your mouth and into my ears. Master doesn't plan to let me understand it too?"

Lin Hai couldn't help laughing, "What else do you not understand?"

There is no sarcasm in this statement.He has a smart daughter-in-law at home, and he doesn't know how much time he has saved.

Having said that, Jia Min saw the master's concerns. Since she wanted to say something intimate, she had to start first, "What kind of rules does the master have for the Sun family? I'm thinking that the two masters of the Sun family are acting so arrogantly." This may not be a long-term way of running a family. When the old grandpa of the Sun family goes away, the friendship with the Holy Master will fade away, and the consequences of his family will be unpredictable. Comparing my heart to my heart, my son who has loved me for most of my life has learned bad things from such a family. To vent your anger."

These words were just a little tactful, but not cryptic at all.Jia Min directly revealed her thoughts: not only did she dislike the Sun family, she even took the prince...

Lin Hai also showed a slight shock, and then said calmly, "Minmin, you are really decisive."

Jia Min's baby name is not Minmin either, the master likes to call her that when there are no outsiders, and she also thinks that "Minmin" sounds pleasing to her ears.

Jia Min blinked, and squeezed the master's arm - now the master is also riding a horse in the garden at home, practicing archery, and even asked the master who taught his children how to ride, the master is indeed stronger than before More than a little.

She then smiled and said: "Why do I feel that since I gave birth to my brother, the master loves to flatter me all the time? Besides, I am not decisive, it is just my random speculation. Since I told you, how can you not?" If you don't follow my words... give me some pointers?"

In fact, the master is not just sweet-mouthed, the key is... a bit like giving and taking.

Lin Hai was no exception this time, "The Sun family should have taken care of the prince, but I have seen it all these years, because the prince can't do without them, so he has an aura of 'what can I do'. No matter what they do, if they can't At the end, the East Palace was pushed out. However, the East Palace has no doubts about the employer."

There is no doubt about employing people here, this is clearly cronyism.

If it is really cronyism, it would be fine if the person who was appointed was a talented but unvirtuous person. The second master who the Sun family stayed in Jiangnan to look after the house would only be arrogant and domineering!

It must be known that the grandpa of the Sun family made great achievements in military affairs back then, and had a daughter who became a queen, and even helped her son-in-law secure the throne.

After Jia Min thought about it, he suddenly realized that the master had been looking at him eagerly for a while.

She was so blessed that she patted her forehead: They are all people who have died once, and some things are really negligent... Her father also taught the prince to ride and shoot, and even took the prince to the army several times... At least my father When he was alive, the prince treated each other with respect as a teacher.

The master looked at her face and spoke, he must feel that her natal family has a long history with the prince, so he has some concerns, so he can't express his true feelings.

No matter how old it is, it was when the father was still alive!She didn't secretly complain about the prince's ruthlessness, and it was not bad for her brothers to suffer a big loss.

In short, it was no coincidence that the prince was deposed in the previous life, and at this time in the previous life, Mr. Zhou Lizhou was fighting against the second master of the Sun family by himself, showing the world a "good show".

So Jia Min immediately said in a soft voice: "It's too early to be true, so I feel that everything is stable and sure... just to show such self-righteousness, it will be the most difficult to say in the future."

Sure enough, the daughter-in-law is not optimistic about Donggong either.

But it's just not optimistic, if her two brothers want her to help the prince in the future, and even need her to come forward, can she really just sit back and ignore it?

Lin Hai has always been a little uneasy because of this: for the sake of "conforming to the dragon", you have to prepare to break up with your two brothers one day... How can you say this?

Seeing his hesitant to speak, Jia Min was also surprised, "What's wrong with the master today? What can't you and my husband say?" He said, grabbing the master's hand and saying , "I listen to the master in everything."

Lin Hai understood the implication, and he was also moved at this moment, "It's not...it doesn't have to be like this."

He was suddenly a little embarrassed: it seemed that he had become a villain for nothing.Half a life of ups and downs in the officialdom, he may not be shameless, but he can also be called "brazen". But facing his wife, he still felt a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help coughing lightly.

Jia Min didn't want to let him go, so she deliberately said, "Master's throat is itchy?" But her fingertips poked her husband's cheek.

Lin Hai shook his head and said with a smile: "I spend most of my time at home these days and seldom socialize. One is to be with you, and the other is to restrain myself. Everything will be discussed when the imperial envoy arrives."

Jia Min said: "Master Sun Er has indeed lived in peace for a long time."

"Brother Zhou took office, and it didn't take much effort to find out the evidence of the business problems in the previous year's court examination. It is embarrassing to say that the former assistant of Xuezheng also knew that there would be a day when he would be exposed, so he made preparations early. Keep an account of every silver coin..."

"It's... a lot of involvement."

"That's not true." Lin Hai sighed, "I wanted to use this to make the two masters of the Sun family calm down." After a pause, he also admitted, "After all, if you move the Sun family, you will inevitably involve the prince, and if you involve the prince, The Holy Majesty will be unhappy...so tearing it apart will do no one any good. When we just got the evidence, Brother Zhou and I have been waiting for the Sun family to come to us and sue for peace."

Jia Min said: "Master wants to advance by retreating."

Lin Hai said with a smile: "Don't put money on my face, brother Zhou and I want to be right with the Sun family at this time, it's unwise."

Jia Min could see through it, "Even if we want to put it right, we still have to wait for the letter from the Holy One."

"Master Jiang should be a man of the Holy One. He has been the governor of Zhejiang for two consecutive terms, but he has dealt with Mr. Sun Er?" Lin Hai rubbed his temples, "After all, he was a bit greedy and reckless."

"Master Jiang didn't remind the master once?" Jia Min continued to ask.The couple had questions and answers, and the master could always say a little more.

Lin Hai really said: "He reminded me, don't you think he has been watching with cold eyes..."

Jia Min was surprised: "That's it? Don't the Jiang family still want to marry our family? How about their sincerity?"

Lin Hai coughed dryly, "I didn't make it clear. Our Daiyu is still young, and besides, she doesn't have a good look at the second boy of the Jiang family."

Jia Min blurted out, "You're only worried if you have a good face."

Lin Hai laughed dryly, and changed the subject abruptly, "He probably wanted to see me suffer a bit, and then help me out later, but he didn't expect my two masters to really be my backers."

Jia Min said clearly: "Master Jiang is almost sixty."

Before the governor is [-], he still has a chance to go one step further and become one of the six ministers, but he doesn't have to think about joining the cabinet.This person is strong enough to control major events, and he is definitely not jealous, but... also has a little selfishness: he is happy to see Lin Hai, who is in his prime, suffer a little loss.

Lin Hai pretended to be aggrieved and said, "You have already seen it, haven't you? Why didn't you remind me?"

Jia Min also opened her mouth and came, "Mrs. Jiang's family is not much younger than my mother. Master, haven't you noticed that I don't like to go to his house? Daiyu and the other girls are socializing, so I can't stop it."

Lin Hai begged for mercy immediately: "Yes, yes, it's all because of my carelessness."

The couple laughed for a while before Jia Min said seriously, "Second Master Sun is not considered a fish and meat township, he is harming the common people. What he did was to skin some big merchants and lose the profits of some officials, and use them to enrich themselves. In short, the Sun family is by no means alone in the south of the Yangtze River. If the master complains to the Holy One twice and three times, I think it will always be close to trouble."

It has to be said that the husband and wife have a tacit understanding again.

When Lin Hai just took office as the official of the frontier, he was indeed full of energy and vowed to burn the "three fires" that were more elegant and bold enough, but after he calmed down when he encountered troubles, he also had an idea:

The Holy Majesty does not like the Sun family right now, but he doesn't intend to take them down now, otherwise the prince will lose the general before he becomes powerful, which will be of no benefit to the prince.

Lin Hai said sincerely: "So Brother Zhou discussed with me..."

Jia Min continued: "Even these years of cheating in the college examinations are not in a hurry to expose it, but have accumulated enough evidence together with the cheating in public accounts, and leave everything to the imperial envoy to decide, right?"

Lin Hai praised: "Madam is wise!"

Jia Min moved his shoulders, "Master's flattery is nothing new."

Lin Hai immediately changed his words, "Madam is too wise!"

Jia Min pursed her lips and smiled, "Master is also wise."

The couple just kept their smiles on their faces, flattering each other, talking and laughing until the whole family had dinner together in the evening.

In the capital thousands of miles away, the sixth prince Yin Hao received the imperial edict to go south, and when he returned to the mansion, he saw the princess packing his luggage.

The concubine ordered a group of maids to rummage through the box - this was also the sixth prince's first long trip after their wedding. She was afraid that she was not well prepared, so she simply pulled the prince to sit down and did it in front of him.

While the girl was carrying the box, she asked the sixth prince, "What did the second brother say?"

In other words, the second prince was born as a medicine jar, and the imperial concubine pampered and protected this son like an eyeball. Finally, seeing that he was sick and sick, he became an adult and married a wife. Last year, his concubine gave birth to him. healthy girl...

The noble concubine immediately felt a light in front of her eyes. She had never asked the Holy One for anything in her life, and she finally spoke to the Holy One for the sake of her son: find an errand for the second child, and don't care about the day when he can have children and grandchildren around his knees. At any rate, he had to earn a fortune for his wife and daughter.

The imperial concubine's words spoke to the Holy Majesty's heart.

Even if it's his son who just stays in the mansion and doesn't care about political affairs, when his father goes west, this son will have no reputation, no achievements and no capable people... Life will be hard.

As a father, he also hopes that his children can live well.

The imperial concubine has always had no desires, and it is for her son's sake, the Holy Majesty will naturally agree.Afraid that the second son would go wrong the first time he went into battle, he specially selected the stable and reliable sixth son to assist him...

The sons went south to find out the details of the Sun family, and he could also take a good look at the true temperament and methods of the sons, especially the second son who was not conspicuous and often recuperated at home.

Therefore, after the imperial decree was issued, he called his sixth son to him and told him carefully, "I have prepared some more manpower for you, and take good care of your second brother. You bring my secret decree, and the commanders of Liangjiang will listen to it." You dispatch."

Although the father gave the military power, but this time the real caller is the second brother.

Coincidentally recalling here, the sixth prince Yin Hao heard Wang Hao's question, and replied casually, "Look, it's okay. The results of the palace examination have already been released, and we will start our journey now."

The concubine really thought about her husband, "Will you prepare more medicines? For the second brother."

The second prince has been married for many years, and he is no longer strong enough to have an imperial physician at the residence at all times.But if there is something good or bad, the prince must be somewhat wrong.

In the eyes of the sixth prince, the second elder brother is weak, but he is afraid that half of it is just pretending.

According to his biological mother Xianfei, this kind of affection is that when the empress is still there, the affection is slightly sour... For many years, the prince has regarded the second brother as a thorn in his side, and he The reason why the second brother's body is so... just can't explain clearly.

Fortunately, he has no grievances with his second brother, so he is not worried that his second brother will cheat him on purpose.So he replied: "Just prepare some, we don't need to worry about the second brother."

The concubine nodded, and asked again, "Which one is the lord planning to bring with you when you go south?"

The sixth prince didn't hesitate, "Let's just go to Mrs. Xue."

What Xue said was exactly Baochai.

When she married into the palace, Baochai lived well.

Apart from the princess, there are only two aunts in the prince's back house including her.It’s true that if you don’t have enough manpower to play the leaf card, how can you fight: whether it’s jealousy or making a complaint, you don’t need to think about who did it.

The prince's behavior is even more peaceful, and he stays with each aunt for three days a month, and now another aunt is pregnant and pregnant... Even if you don't remember that Baochai is from Jinling, you can only take it with you. She went to Jiangnan.

Baochai would rather stay in Beijing because of her pregnancy!Another aunt in the mansion was from a family background, and she was not as good as Baochai in appearance, but because of his unreliable stomach, the prince had to go over to see her in person every other day.

She can see through it: the prince is the most important son.In the eyes of the prince, being able to have children is more important than any kindness or virtue.

A few days later, the second prince and the sixth prince took a boat down the Jiangnan along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

I have to say that taking a boat in early summer is quite comfortable.The second prince also "extremely saved face" and had a safe journey.

On the way, Baochai often drank tea and chatted with the second prince and concubine—the second prince and concubine was from the north, and this time it was her first trip to Jiangnan.

Baochai explained to her the local conditions and customs in the south of the Yangtze River in detail, and the two of them became familiar with each other after coming and going.

In return, the second prince's side concubine told Baochai why the two princes went south, and also reminded her, "I heard that your uncle, Mr. Wang, has some friendship with Mr. Sun Er."

Baochai was shocked: She didn't know about it!

As a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, it would be difficult for her to know the faction her own uncle belonged to and the family she was close to.

The thoughts of the second prince and side concubine are also very clear: the second prince and the sixth prince have a lot of burdens on them, if the investigation along the Sun's family involves the family of Xue's natal family... maybe it will not only look bad.

After chatting for a while, seeing Baochai's face getting more and more ugly, the side concubine served tea to see off the guests.

But Baochai went back to her cabin worriedly.

In fact, she didn't suffer much, but in the six months from being elected to living in the mansion, most of her arrogance was worn away.

She kept her face so sullen that the big girl Ying'er didn't dare to say a word.

In fact, Baochai intends to send a letter to remind his father, but... now it is an extravagant wish to write a family letter on the boat.

At night, the sixth prince, Yin Hao, came back, smelling slightly of alcohol, and Baochai stepped forward to help him wash up.

The sixth prince took the towel from her hand and asked casually, "Is there something on your mind?"

Baochai also has self-knowledge, at least today's concubine's reminder can't be hidden from the prince, so she said honestly, "I'm afraid I might miss the prince's business."

"Oh?" Yin Hao asked curiously, "What can I miss?"

But Baochai couldn't answer: Her worry, when I think about it... seems to be nothing.

Seeing her drooping her head and saying nothing, Yin Hao didn't make things difficult for her, but asked again, "Do you recognize Mr. Lin, Chief Minister of Zhejiang Province?"

Baochai responded, "I have walked to Mr. Lin's residence a few times."

Why don't you ask uncle.

Yin Hao smiled, "When we arrive in Hangzhou, I can meet your mother." After speaking, he sat next to Baochai, "Tell me about your impression of the Lin family."

Baochai said softly, "My concubine...had a lot of contact with Mrs. Lin's eldest daughter. At that time, sisters of the Lin family, sisters of the Han family, and sisters of the Fang family, my concubine and several sisters often met and talked."

Yin Hao narrowed his eyes suddenly, "The Han family?"
