[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Hearing Shen Yue's words, the second prince's angry face turned green, and he pointed at Shen Yue with a trembling right index finger: "You—"

He never knew why Shen Yue looked down on him so much - Shen Yue was easy-going with other brothers, but he was only polite and considerate to himself.Today, he didn't even pretend to be polite, and directly wanted to fight the imperial court with himself!

Who gave him the guts!

"Okay, okay, okay," the second prince smiled angrily, "what are you, you dare to say that you want to argue with this prince. But this prince gave you this face, so that you can recognize yourself !" See who is the saint's own son, you are just a servant, but a dog of the royal family!

The second prince, who wanted to show his face in front of the present, never thought that the first thing he would do was to go to the imperial court to defend himself with his subordinates.To put it bluntly, it's a self-defense, but to put it bluntly, the subordinates didn't take him seriously as a prince at all, and were unwilling to obey his orders, which made him lose face.

Today, I didn't expect that I just want my second son to accept the influence of Shen Yue, and I want to settle the lawsuit for him.It's still so late to end the lawsuit.

One can imagine the current mood, he didn't ask Shen Yue and the second prince who were involved, but asked the fifth prince to talk about what happened.The Fifth Prince, who has pissed off the courtiers, is now talking nonsense:

"As soon as the second elder brother goes to the study room, he has to see whether the test questions Shen Yue and I have given are in line with the emperor's wishes. I think that the second elder brother is the new one sent by the emperor, so he must have brought a new purpose. Unexpectedly, when I asked, the second elder brother actually said that the father wants to show mercy to those who donate official websites."

One sentence successfully made today's complexion even darker. Seeing this, the second prince felt uncomfortable, and quickly called "Father Emperor" to excuse himself.He directly said now: "Listen to what Lao Wu has said, you will have time to talk later." If it was just for this, Shen Yue would not ask for this imperial lawsuit.

The fifth prince made up his mind, and spoke more neatly: "Shen Yue felt that the father is not a person who changes orders day and night, so he asked the second brother if the father had any other confessions. I don't want the second brother to directly say that the ancestors of those people are all owned by the state. For those who are meritorious, this kind of grace can be given back to the court. This is not in line with what my father told me and Shen Yue, so even if the second brother said that he would take it all on his own, Shen Yue felt that he should come to ask his father Give me a clear purpose."

The second prince is so angry, since your father had explained it before you gave the test questions, why didn't you mention it to yourself when you went by yourself?But he forgot that it was he himself who said that the simpler the test questions would be in line with the sage's wishes as soon as he entered the upper study room, so it is reasonable for the Fifth Prince and Shen Yue to think that they may have new ideas today.

But the second prince was right about one thing. His brothers really didn't have a good thing.

Now that he doesn't want to look at the second prince anymore, he smiled gently at Shen Yue: "What do you think about the test questions?"

After such a day, does Shen Yue still have a plan in mind?Even if he didn't get the exam questions, he wanted to send a letter home.Now that he knows that the prince has sent a letter to Daiyu, he also told the present day his plan:

"If the Sacred Heart has not changed, then the examination for donating officials is also for the selection of talents for the country. No matter what skills those people have, I feel that they can be used. Therefore, it is proposed to use spells, accounts, manufacturing, painting skills, and calligraphy. As the focus of the question, literary talent can also be an option."

The second prince felt that he had something to justify again: "Everything is low-grade. Only those who are good at reading, literary talent should be the focus. Items such as spells are just trivial."

Now he waved his hand, signaling Shen Yue to explain clearly to the second prince that he really didn't want to talk nonsense with this stupid son.Shen Yue didn't hide it either: "Second prince, the imperial court takes the imperial examination every three years, not to mention all the scholars with literary talents, all the scholars who are interested in this will also return to the imperial court."

"Those who donate to officials, if they really have literary talents, should have been on the list long ago, and they would not choose to donate to officials. However, some people have more than hard work but not enough literary talent, so they have to choose to donate to officials. The sage will re-evaluate these people and let them To be able to show their strengths is exactly what the second prince said, to give them another chance, which is the grace that the second prince said. But if they can't pass any of these test questions..."

There is no need for Shen Yue to say the next thing, the second prince has already figured it out, isn't he just a dandy who has accomplished nothing?Such a person should be an official, go home and eat by yourself, don't use an official status to fool others.

Up to now, the second prince had no choice but to lower his noble head: "It's my son's overthinking."

Today is not something he can fool by simply saying lightly and thinking lightly: "Even if I think lightly, why can't I ask more questions and listen more? Also, I sent someone a message to order you to help Shen Yue come up with the exam questions, what? What did I say to you when I was not in the mood?" This means that Shen Yue has his own opinions, and if he can't straighten his knees when he sees the prince, why not let this stupid son lead him by the nose?

When the test questions really come out according to this stupid son's idea, what do the courtiers think of themselves as the monarch?Do you feel that you are only strict in your mouth, and if there is a government order next time, will it still work?

Today, he decisively decided that his second son had to temper his temper. The examination and donation officer was an important task of the current government, so he had better not get involved.So he was not afraid of taking the name of breaking his promise, he didn't even listen to the second prince's excuse, and ordered him to go back to the mansion to rest.

The second prince, who was told that he was going to study again, met the little eunuch who he sent home to pick up his luggage at the gate of the palace.Seeing him leaving the palace, the little eunuch smiled and said to him: "Wangfei heard that the master has started to run an errand. I am afraid that I will miss something. Then the master will suffer in it, so the slave will be late. I asked the master to wait in person, is it true?" The servant deserves to die."

"Slap!" A crisp slap greeted the little eunuch's face directly, and the second prince's eyes almost burst into flames: "What are you talking about, go back home!"

The little eunuch didn't know why he was beaten, and he didn't dare to ask again. He followed the second prince carefully with his things in his arms, not daring to miss a step.Seeing the second prince getting into the carriage, without even looking at himself, the little eunuch had no choice but to follow behind the carriage with his luggage in his arms. However, the luggage was heavy and the carriage drove so fast that the wandering figure was gradually left behind by the carriage.

How could the second prince care about whether a young eunuch can return home smoothly?As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he kicked the door that came up to say hello, and then slapped the chief officials together.Even the second prince and concubine who sent someone to greet him when he heard him return to the mansion, was reprimanded by him once, saying that she dared to talk about foreign affairs and did not abide by women's morals.

The second concubine had no choice but to shed tears herself - her natal family was already in decline, and the first child was a daughter, so she couldn't hold back.

Mr. Mu watched as the second prince vented the evil fire in his stomach by beating chickens and scolding dogs, and did not speak out to dissuade him.After getting along for many years, he already knew that the person he was with would not talk well unless he vented his joy.Rather than being reprimanded by him, it's better to watch others suffer.

It didn't take long for him to wait, the second prince slumped down on the chair, and asked Mr. Mu weakly: "What do you think, father, what does this mean?"

Although what he said was nonsensical, Mr. Mu could guess the general idea, and said vaguely: "Maybe the sage has something else to do with the prince?"

"Another use?" The second prince no longer believed the reason: "Reading, just let me read every day. What's the use of always reading? If you really want to use me, why would the Ministry of Punishment be handed over to Zhongshun? Am I not his?" son?"

Mr. Mu really wanted to cover the second prince's mouth, this master was too daring to say it.You are the one who has just been sent back by the saint. It is hard to guarantee that the saint will not be followed by others, so that we can see your reaction.According to Mr. Mu's idea, the second prince might as well show weakness to the eldest prince, it's better to act like he is being suppressed by the elder prince all the time.

Everyone has a heart for the weak, if the second prince does this, not only will the sage feel more pity for him, even the courtiers will gradually sympathize with the second prince, thinking that the eldest prince is too domineering to tolerate brothers.

But the second prince is too self-willed to listen to Mr. Mu's idea at all, and now he directly harbors resentment towards the saint.

Mr. Mu should have silenced the second prince.

Because today, as Mr. Mu thought, he sent secret guards to watch over the second prince.After hearing the resentful words of the second prince, "Aren't I his son", I made another decision in my heart:

This son is not only unusable, but also needs to be guarded against, and it must be guarded against now, so as not to cause a big mess in the future.

Today, I don't want to follow the old path of the former emperor. Not only was he forced into the palace by Yizhong, he was also poisoned, and in the end he didn't even have a good death.People say that a tiger's poison does not eat its son, but if this son already harbors resentment towards you, for the sake of the throne, even if it is his own father and son, it is a matter of life and death.

If you want to say that today is really worthy of a person with a firm mind, even if you have an idea, you will never procrastinate.On the second day, before the second prince could go to the study again, he received the word of mouth today, saying that he falsely preached the imperial decree, which was disrespectful, and made him think about his mistakes in the mansion.The second prince was naturally dissatisfied, but it was Gao Fu who came to pass the decree, he slightly lowered his head towards the second prince, and said: "The sage still has something to tell the old slave to the second prince."

"You say." The second prince didn't knelt down to listen to the hadith, he had already been grounded in disguise, why should he lower his posture, it turned out that his posture was low enough, but who really treats himself?

Gao Fu shook his head in his heart, but his face was still respectful: "The sage said, when the second prince is free, think about Prince Yizhong and Prince Yizhong." After speaking, he walked away.

"What does he mean?" The second prince looked at Mr. Mu who came out of the inner room.Mr. Mu can only be silent. What do you mean, it means that you complained about being heard yesterday.But he didn't say that, and knelt down towards the second prince: "The grass people are proud of the second prince's favor, but they are of no help to the second prince's affairs. They are really ashamed of the second prince."

The second prince said impatiently: "What are you talking about at this time, it's more serious to think of a way to get me out of the house again."

Mr. Mu nodded towards him: "Caomin will go out of the house to find a way."

The second prince looked at him with some disbelief: "Go out of the house and find a way? Your cousin has already been exiled, even his in-laws, the Gu family, are now the mainstay, and you are in a mess like a bee camp. What else can you do?" think?"

Because Mr. Mu kept touching his head to the ground, the second prince didn't notice the trace of dissatisfaction that flashed in Mr. Mu's eyes after he said these words himself.I heard Mr. Mu say: "Although Gu Shangshu entered Dali Temple, the court has not yet finalized the case, and his past is still working on his behalf. I just want to use the power of overturning Gu Shangshu's case to make the prince out of trouble."

After hearing this, the second prince thought it was an idea, so he took [-] silver notes from his private treasury and gave it to Mr. Mu for management.Mr. Mu also collected all his income over the years, and told the second prince to use it together for management: "Some people don't accept money, only these things may impress one or two."

Hearing that the second prince still wanted to open his own private treasury to get things for him, Mr. Mu declined and said: "Wait for the grassroots to explore the way first. If possible, the prince's things should be saved. In the days to come, use these things There are plenty of places." It's not a bank note, it's a pity to throw it away, and it's not easy to go to the pawn shop to leave someone with a clue.Despite the heartache, Mr. Mu rejected the second prince's proposal.

The second prince felt that he was wrong just now, Mr. Mu is a person who really thinks about him.He touched Mr. Mu's hand: "Mr. treats me like this. In the future, I will treat him as a national scholar." Mr. Mu also shook the second prince's hand heavily and left without hesitation.

At the end of the day, Mr. Mu did not return home.The second prince only thought that there was something wrong with him and would delay for a few days.Who knows that today is waiting for tomorrow, tomorrow is waiting for the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Mu hasn't come back for five or six days, and the second prince also feels that something is wrong.

Let people go to Mr. Mu's room to have a look. There is nothing soft, only some luggage and clothes left. It is obvious that it cannot be moved in a day.The second prince was so angry that he sent people to rush to Shuntian Mansion to ask the servants to find someone, saying that the servant who stole from his mansion was lost.

But the guards from Shuntian Mansion came to ask, Mr. Mu's status in this mansion is a teacher invited, not a servant.Hearing that the chief official insisted that Mr. Mu was a thief, the government servants didn't want to offend the prince's mansion, so they only let Lie Mi list out.

As for the 5 taels of silver, the second prince didn't even mention it to the chief official. Mr. Mu secretly moved out of the mansion, all of which he had obtained over the years.The lost list couldn't be listed, so I had to make a few random ones.The Yamen servants of Shuntian Mansion took the slips given by the officials and went to various pawnshops to check if there was any pawning, in order to find clues, where could they find out?Even if the document is issued, but the person has been away for five or six days, who can find it in any corner for three or five years?

Besides, it's not just the second prince's family that is running around in Beijing, all the families that have donated officials are not living in peace.Because Shen Yue and the fifth prince finally finished the exam questions according to today's instructions, and they can return to their own homes, which means that those donated officials have to choose which exam they take according to the questions they asked.

To say that Shen Yue and the fifth prince really did their best, the questions they asked had more than a dozen categories, as long as those donated organs had a skill, they would not be buried.But even with so many projects, the vast majority of donors still don’t know what they should choose—they are all playboys who can do nothing but eat, drink and have fun.

The patriarchs of each family only now know what kind of waste their children have reached, let alone a skill, they don't even have half a skill.This time, there is no need to say much now, the Patriarchs have given death orders to those children, no matter whether they will or not, you have to choose one to take the test!

As a result, the capital suddenly fell into an eerie calm. Those who usually drink and drink on the streets, bully others, molested women from good families, and fought fiercely and pretended to be thirteen, all disappeared.On the contrary, there are some people who write and write, and many people have been invited out of the mountains to teach those dandy children-everyone thinks that it is too late for this kind of literature, but those who apply for the more unorthodox manufacturing, spells, accounts, etc. Too much, just sharpen your gun before the battle, you can always pass the test.

The ground is quiet, and the most satisfied are Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntian Mansion, and Shen Ren, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, is also at leisure.It is precisely because of his leisure time that he has time to count the days, and also has time to think about what Shen Yue and Fang Shi said.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that what my son said made sense. It seemed that the daughter-in-law didn't just go to Zhuangzi because she was narrow-minded.So on the third day after Shen Yue was released from the palace, which was also the holiday of the imperial court, Shen Ren emphasized to his eldest son that he must stay at home and take care of the house, and he was going to greet the old lady.

Shen Yue fought for a long time, but Shen Ren refused to take him with him.The reason is that Shen Yue is responsible for assessing donated officials, what if the sage asks him for advice?Rolling his eyes at the carriage leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust, Shen Yue felt that he shouldn't be soft-hearted to his father - just because everyone knew that he failed the exam, so he should go to Zhuangzi to avoid it.

Seeing Shen Ren Juechen go away, Shen Yue asked someone to lead the horse over, and rode Juechen himself to report to the old man.Lin Ruhai was taking an examination of Brother Kuan's knowledge, and when he saw him coming, he signaled him to take it easy, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Shen Yue until the examination was over.

Shen Yuelai just wanted to pass the time and hide from people by the way, so he smiled and said to Lin Ruhai: "Brother Xun's marriage has been settled, what else will Brother Kuan choose?"

Lin Ruhai is fine, but brother Kuan's face turned red, which made Shen Yue feel funny: "This man should be married when he is a college student, and the girl should be married if he is a college student, so why be embarrassed?"

"You treat everyone like you." Lin Ruhai saw that his son was speechless, so he had to help his son: "You still have things to discuss in the house, why are you here?"

get together?Shen Yue only thought of Lin Ruhai as saying that he was the only master in the house now, and he should handle the family affairs, and complained to Lin Ruhai: "Our master went to see his wife in Zhuangzi by himself, so he insisted on letting me look after the house. He didn't even think about it, everyone would Knowing that I was the one who came up with the test question for donating an official, how many people wanted to get the words out of my mouth, and they didn't say to block it for me."

Lin Ruhai was tired of hearing such complaints: "You found a hiding place by yourself." Shen Yue just smiled and pretended not to hear.

The redness on Brother Kuan's face finally subsided, and he asked Shen Yue about his brother's preparation for the exam, with a hint of envy in his words.Shen Yue enlightened him: "It's time for you to study, as long as you don't put down the books completely, you don't have to go out and walk around, or help your mother-in-law manage the Zhuangzi and the shop. Why bother to think about the imperial examination? It’s useless to think too much about it.”

Brother Kuan was a little moved when he heard this, and Lin Ruhai also felt that it was feasible, so Shen Yue told Brother Kuan about his experience in managing the village and the shop, and also mixed in some of his own opinions from time to time.

Brother Kuan nodded from time to time, but then his expression became a little bit wrong, and then he became serious, and asked Lin Ruhai: "Master, I read the residence newspaper that day, saying that the taxable land should be inspected starting from the royal family. I heard what the master said just now. We have quite a lot of Zhuangzi in our family, so it’s better to deal with it, lest people find it ugly.”

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai glanced at his son: "You think so?"

Brother Kuan nodded seriously: "Father has already been granted the title of Marquis of Zhong'an, and he is also the Secretary of the Household Department. This time the taxable land is checked, it is the head of the Household Department. Father also said that money is involved, and the Sixth Prince can be called My six relatives don't recognize me, so even if I get along with my father on weekdays, once we find out that our family..."

Lin Ruhai smiled reassuringly: "It's good for you to think so." Seeing that Brother Kuan was puzzled, he smiled at him and said, "Didn't you be shown our family's accounts at the end of last year? You asked at that time, and I heard that others How much does the Zhuangzi earn in a year, but the income of the same Zhuangzi in our family is [-]% less than others, is it because the Zhuangtou is not dedicated."

Brother Kuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Master, you mean that the [-]% of our less income is actually used to pay taxes?" Lin Ruhai nodded, in order to tell Brother Kuan the difference between the red deed and the white deed. .

Finally taught him: "Our Lin family has always passed on poetry and rites to the family. As long as this money is enough, it is good. It is also the ancestors who are not extravagant. They have accumulated these things from generation to generation. Not only our branch, but also the Gusu side. Lin Sheng also informed them after he was elected, don't covet some tax money, and lose your character." Now Lin Ruhai's group gets along with the clan members more closely, and they can also exchange news.

Shen Yue and Brother Kuan stood up together to receive instruction, and they thought of the scholar's mansion, wondering if there was a tax-evading land there, so they couldn't sit still.Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but ask. After hearing him explain the reason, he nodded and said, "It's good to ask."

Bachelor Shen is the chief assistant, if he really let himself lead someone to find out something, not to mention whether his relatives can do it or not, even this chief assistant, I am afraid that the old man will have to give up.

Shen Yue bid farewell to Lin Ruhai here, and went to the scholar's mansion to pay his respects to Bachelor Shen.Listening to his explanation of his purpose, Xueshi Shen nodded and said: "You can rest assured about this, your uncle has always been cautious and will not value such small profits."

However, Shen Yue always had a bad intuition, so he said anxiously to Xueshi Shen: "Master, I'd better ask my uncle to check it out, not only the masters, but also those who are in charge, don't let them borrow the name of the mansion. "

Hearing what he said solemnly, Bachelor Shen also knows that such things are not uncommon in rich and powerful mansions, and some slaves who have shame are more daring to act than serious masters.Based on the principle of being too subtle rather than lenient, someone called Shen Xin to talk to him.Shen Xin felt that it was not unreasonable for his nephew to be worried, so he sent his confidants to watch quietly in the mansion.

Even if he reminded the scholar's mansion, there is no reason not to check the servants in his mansion.Fortunately, Shuang'an and the others are all in charge now, and they are well informed about the news in the mansion. It didn't take two or three hours to check the details of all the servants' homes: "Don't worry, sir, except for Steward Shen A small village with [-] acres of land, no one else owns land."

After working as a housekeeper for so many years, he only bought [-] acres of land, so Shen Shi can be regarded as a cautious person.Shen Yue called him over, and asked him if he really put this place in the mansion, he couldn't help but sneer: "What a smart butler." Don't be in a hurry to deal with Shen Shi, let people go to the scholar's mansion and Zhong'anhou mansion first Send a letter and tell me what you found out.

The sweat on Shen Shi's head didn't dry up: "Master, it's all because of the little lard, I came up with such a plan, begging the master to save some face for the little one, the little one with twenty acres of land is willing to pay tribute to the mansion. inside."
