The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

This time, Sister Feng didn't call Mrs. Wang, nor Li Wan. She only brought a couple of confidants to visit Yuanchun at the palace.

From Yuan Chun's point of view, Lian's second brother "killed first and played later" brought a pair of sisters back to the mansion. Even if there was a reason for the incident, he deserved to let his cousin Wang Xifeng discuss it for a while.

Unless it is someone pointed out by the elders, if you add someone to the house, you must always inform your wife in advance.

Yuan Chun just can't say it clearly, in fact, she has...a problem with the conduct of father and son, uncle and cousin, especially when it comes to female sex.Not to mention her, even men look down on those masters who can't walk when they see a beauty, such as Jia Zhu.

Fortunately, Jia Lian did not miss the business this time. Jia Zhu acquiesced in allowing the sisters to stay in the mansion, and specially asked his daughter-in-law Li Wan and younger sister Tanchun to persuade and appease Sister Feng. Don't be impatient - in fact, without Sister Feng's action, Jia Zhu has her own means to get the two sisters to leave Rongfu voluntarily.

It is said that Sister Feng was jealous at the beginning, but soon after she got angry, she realized that something was wrong. In addition to pouring out bitterness, she also wanted to ask Yuan Chun for some hidden secrets. After that... see The situation reminded Uncle Wang Ziteng.

Sister-in-law Yuanchun doesn't get along with Wang Ziteng very much. In Sister Feng's view, it is purely because "they are masters of each other", but it is a matter of course to go around in circles to communicate with each other.

So Sister Feng is full of confidence this time.

After caring about my sister-in-law's body and presenting her with a gift, she finally talked about her grievances, "Your concubine, you can judge me, the second master has also been an official for several years, if this affects his future, I will feel so distressed to death. "

This dynasty expressly stipulates that officials who take concubines without permission will be punished.To take a step back, even serious concubines have to send documents to the government for filing, otherwise the pair of sisters will either be counted as slaves, or they can only be concubines.

If this matter gets out, if you meet another censor who is "idle and fine" and read Jia Lian's book, even if you won't lose your official position, you will be ashamed after all.

But with the current momentum of the Rong Mansion, which censor is willing to embarrass Jia Lian for such a trivial matter?

Sister-in-law Sister Feng has suppressed Lian's second brother, and now she just wants to accept it as soon as she sees it.So Yuan Chun also laughed and said, "Second Brother Lian may be careless, and he wants my sister-in-law to take care of her."

The aunt directly expressed her opinion, and Sister Feng stopped pretending to be wronged: Although the aunt was reasonable, but the second master's action only ended up with the word "careless", she still felt a little bit dissatisfied.

But she still squeezed out a smile and said modestly, "Where..."

Yuanchun was happy this time, which was far worse than Huai Jianer's time. He felt uncomfortable from time to time, so he was not so patient when chatting.

She hastily picked up the teacup beside her and took another sip of herbal tea, trying to suppress the churning in her stomach.

Seeing this, Sister Feng quickly stopped talking.Baoqin and Aomei were also standing beside Yuanchun, one helping to pat the back, the other taking the tea bowl, both carefully staring at Yuanchun's face.

Yuan Chun stroked his chest, "It's okay."

Sister Feng was also concerned and said, "Please ask the imperial physician to come over again?"

Yuan Chun shook his head, "Anyway, it's for people to take care of their bodies." After a pause, he continued, "The things in the hands of the two sisters have helped our family a lot."

Sister Feng had already guessed some clues. Seeing that the sister-in-law was so sure, she asked again, "Get rich? Or get promoted?"

Yuan Chun said: "There are all of them."

Suddenly, Sister Feng said, "So that's the case." Then she left with a wink.

Yuan Chun rested on the couch for a while before regaining some energy. He got up and wrote a letter to his brother: Please pay attention to Wang Ziteng's movements.

In the hearts of most women, children are naturally better than their natal family, and their natal family is probably more important than their husbands... There is a new door in front of them, and Sister Feng will definitely give her natal family some advice.

To deal with the people of Zhongshun Palace, the more the better.And my uncle Wang Ziteng... is rather ruthless, but after all, Yuan Chun himself has a completely different state of mind from his previous life due to changes in his circumstances, so why force his relatives to stay the same and be of one mind with him?

Yuan Chun felt calm in his heart: he can't be moved with affection, but it's okay to promise him with profit.When the prince comes over in the evening, we should discuss it carefully with him.

Having made up her mind, she leaned back on the couch, holding the hand stove stuffed with the qin in her arms, and her eyes drifted out of the window from time to time: It snowed the day before yesterday, but it is still icy and snowy today, otherwise it is better to go out for a stroll.

Baoqin has always been considerate, seeing Yuan Chun's yearning expression, he chuckled softly, "I just heard that the uncle took our brother Jian to enjoy the snow in the yard."

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "Uncle, enjoying the snow is not far behind, but Jianer only thinks about jumping into the snow."

In Zhao Zhizhen's study outside, Mr. Han bent slightly, and never moved.

He used money, tricks, and entrusted others. When Mr. Fei closed his door and thought about his mistakes, he finally met the prince.Obviously, they had a very happy conversation with the crown prince, but the crown prince finally gave him an order to submit a worthy certificate of nomination.

The letter that Mr. Han showed to his brother-in-law Zhao Zhizhen recorded what the crown prince said at that time. Of course, it was "polished" a little bit - of course the crown prince would not directly say "avoid the father", but the meaning was That's right.

Mr. Han came to ask for help this time, whether he can do what he wants, at least put on a proper posture: tell the truth, and never provoke randomly.

Ever since they got married with the Han family, the family was respectful, but they also used some dirty tricks secretly, but fortunately they stopped decisively when they found something wrong.

Therefore, Zhao Zhizhen's dislike for this family is limited, but his favorability is far from enough.

Moreover, he glanced at Mr. Han's face from the corner of his eye, and felt that if he left it alone for a while, he might feel resentful.

It is said that Zhao Zhizhen seemed to be afraid of wolves and tigers a while ago, but the so-called tigers and wolves are both clans, and they still have power and financial resources, and the clans with very important words, like the Han family that has not been "rich for three generations", how can he be Will there be too many taboos?

It's just that this person is still useful, and Zhao Zhizhen is not in the mood to make grudges everywhere, so he said slowly, "I've heard about the person you're looking for." Then he waved his hand, "It's okay, as long as you don't Just ask more questions."

Mr. Han's spirit was shaken, and he immediately bowed to the end, "Thank you, my lord." Does this mean that if you don't plan to use the Han family as a raft, the lord will explain to the prince?

The more I thought about it, the more it happened. Recalling what my family had done these years, Mr. Han blushed slightly, and lowered his head deeply again, "My lord, Gao Yi, I'm so ashamed..."

Zhao Zhizhen shook his head when he heard that, "You're talking incoherently, let's go back first to have a rest." Then, he smiled slightly, "Have you not slept for a few days?"

Young Master Han's eyes were bloodshot, and one could tell from a glance that he had been worried for a long time.

Mr. Han has been in fear for several days - the idea of ​​getting close to the prince was originally his own, and his father didn't approve of it, but he didn't object, and now the trouble is almost out of character. Fortunately, the seventh prince is willing to rescue him..." "The rest of my life after the disaster" made him both excited and vulnerable. "It's been three or four days. To tell you the truth, I didn't even feel comfortable breathing after following the orders of the prince." He wiped his forehead, "If the prince You drove me out of the house, I really don't know what to do."

It has to be said that the subdued Young Master Han is really pleasing to the eye.

Just like Ning Rong's two houses have some connections with the prince, Jia Zhen can easily climb up to the prince; but the Han family has a good relationship with the prince's uncle's family, so they can have a relationship with the prince... But Mr. Han really has something to do with the prince After touching it, it was like pouring a basin of cold water from head to bottom.

It's also fortunate that Mr. Han was so calm that he didn't dare to complain to Zhao Zhizhen, otherwise Zhao Zhizhen might not have laughed secretly: Whenever you want to seek refuge, we princes have to accept it sincerely and entrust it with a heavy responsibility?

In short, he got the promise, and Young Master Han also had the heart to chat with Zhao Zhizhen. Today's visit to the palace is quite complete, but he still has one regret: the prince didn't let him meet Youxi's sister, but he knew Jia Zhu often came to visit his side concubine.

But this doubt didn't last long. It's better for my sister not to know about the troubles he caused. If she becomes pregnant due to worry, how can the relatives walk around freely in the future?

Before the sun set, Young Master Han got up to say goodbye, and before leaving the study, Zhao Zhizhen said meaningfully, "Concentrate on doing business for the emperor."

Young Master Han abruptly stopped his left leg as he was walking towards the door, and when he turned around to face Zhao Zhizhen, he couldn't hide his shock, "Could it be... the Holy One already knows about it?"

Zhao Zhizhen nodded, "You are right."

Young Master Han bowed again, "Thank you, Lord, for your guidance."

Looking at the back of Mr. Han's departure, Zhao Zhizhen was also thinking repeatedly: Beiguan and Hedong are not places in the southwest where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Here, it just depends on whether Shengshang is willing to pay attention to the people or things that cause trouble.

In other words, the person the crown prince wants the Han family to arrest is a wealthy businessman who lives in Hedong.This person used to be an aide to the late emperor's favored officials, and later moved between several clans and aristocratic families. After decades, he retired completely, and now he is still a rich man with peace of mind...

This man had dealt with many "remnants of the previous dynasty" back then, but now he went to Hedong to "bury his name" and play tricks on his grandson.Having said that, this person knows a lot of secrets and can still live to this day, how can it make sense without the acquiescence of the Holy One?

Zhao Zhizhen's move is also to remind Mr. Han to be more polite to others.When the crown prince heard about this person's name, he specially ordered the Han family to send him to the capital, probably because he became interested in what happened back then.

In any case, the crown prince finally knew that the Zhongshun palace... and even several clans were hostile to him.

As for what happened back then, Zhao Zhizhen only knew a little bit about it, and it was a piece of words that Jia Zhu pulled out from Jia Zhen's mouth.According to his guess, when the Han family escorted this person back to the capital, the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion must also have a corresponding means: killing him is the most direct way, and by the way, he can also frame the Han family.

A few days ago, the imperial concubine also explained to him: If you don't take risks, you won't gain anything.Zhao Zhizhen has been "celibate" for many years and finally made up his mind to be quiet and think about moving. Isn't this a good time to make a move?

He even had a bit of anticipation in his heart: he hoped that Prince Zhongshun's residence would not disappoint him... You must know that whenever you target the prince, there is more or less the shadow of the eldest prince behind it.

What he intends to do is to completely remove the fig leaf of "the elder brother and the second brother have small differences, but they still have a deep brotherhood and live in harmony".Watching the two of them act respectfully as brothers and sisters all day long, and turn around and implicate him every now and then, he really... has had enough.

Moreover, the father's eyes are mostly on the Southwest Pingnan King now, and he also wants to pull his father's thoughts to the north.

Even if his father might be annoyed by it, he would not hesitate to do it—the elder brother and the second elder brother would definitely be ahead of him. One of the two became ambitious because of his backing to the aristocratic family, and the other didn't even know how to arouse the hatred of the clan. ...

Compared with the two of them, Zhao Zhizhen only felt that he was too well-behaved and filial.

However, Zhao Zhizhen was not the only one who knew how to reflect. After removing Mr. Fei, the crown prince also realized that the situation was so difficult, so he hurriedly recruited his aides and confidants to discuss the countermeasures for half a month.

Because of Mr. Fei, the crown prince and his uncle's family have been a little estranged these years, but once he asked his mother's family... the result really did not disappoint him.

At least he knew from his uncle how Mr. Fei's reputation was, and from the secret letter sent by his uncle, he got evidence that his uncle had contacted King Pingnan early.

Of course he was furious!

When these evidences were placed on the desk of the princess's father, the Fei family also made a decisive decision. In the evening, Mr. Fei was "seriously ill", and he couldn't get out of bed for several years, let alone anyone who could see it easily. him.

But it was extremely easy to confine Mr. Fei, but it was even more difficult to clean up the mess.As for the group of people that Mr. Fei offended, the crown prince always wanted to know why his brother-in-law had feud with them.

This is how the Han family took orders to arrest someone, and the eldest son Han came out of the seventh prince's mansion, so the prince naturally knew that the Han family ran to ask his seventh brother for help.

At this time, the staff carefully suggested: "Prince, do you think it's time to say hello to the Seventh Prince?"

The prince was a little haggard, but his eyes were still bright, "It's okay, if you don't want to, the seventh brother will come to see me."

The staff member was silent, thinking: That is your own brother, you are not willing to let go of your airs... It seems that it is useless to talk too much.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince sneered again, "Lao Qi is my younger brother, he never likes to make trouble... But Zhongshun Wangfu is a bit interesting, the quarrel with my uncle back then, could it be blamed on me?" He didn't expect to be around Persuaded by his confidant, he ordered, "Let Jia Zhen come over tomorrow."

Jia Zhen...couldn't come the next day because his father, Jia Jing, was gone.
