Struggle of the Woman in the Red Chamber

Qin Tong has been busy since he opened his eyes every day. One is to make sure that his sons and daughters can eat nutritious food without racking their brains due to obesity caused by overnutrition. The other is to deal with the Xue family's internal affairs and external business. Qin Tong was so inexperienced that he wished he could become a monkey grandson, and there was a troublemaker over there, not an outsider, but he was still a "family" of the same faction, and it was King Jia Shi. The maternal cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince secretly supported by the Xue family.

The reason why this second generation ancestor with a great background is willing to leave the Wenrou Township and the Selling Gold Cave in the capital at this time, to appear in Jinling City after a long journey, and to enter the Xue family, is for money. !

It is said that since Qin Tong took over the Xue family, the money that the Xue family's bank would send to the capital at a fixed time every month disappeared. They thought it was because of the sudden death of the Xue family's head that it caused some necessary chaos. So the high-ranking bosses waited tolerantly for a period of time. But now it has been four months, and the Xue family still hasn't sent a penny, and the gangsters can't sit still. Half of the department's activity funds still depend on this source, so I can't help but wonder: What's wrong?Has the Xue family encountered any unsolvable difficulties?After questioning Jia and Wang's family to no avail, they all thought that there must be some serious problems within the Xue family, and it was a private matter that the Xue family did not want to disclose to the outside world, so this second generation ancestor appeared on the stage to represent the crown prince. His Highness came down to deal with the Xue family's problems... It's just that no one thought that the Xue family, the cash cow, just didn't want to follow the prince's footsteps and throw themselves into the trap!

No matter how old he is, he still has to abide by the different etiquette of men and women, let alone he is an out-and-out male?Therefore, this way of not having to communicate directly face-to-face also gave Qin Tong a chance to deal with it. After all, even if she wanted the Xue family to get off the thief ship of His Royal Highness, she must not simply refuse directly, no, and generally the second is not enough. No reasonable reason is convincing...

In view of the strength of the Xue family against His Royal Highness, it is equivalent to a three-year-old child meeting a boxing champion, Qin Tong had no choice but to "control violence with violence", that is a false secret decree!Anyway, it's said to be a secret decree, so the prince can't go directly to his emperor's father to confront him, right?Moreover, Qin Tong believed very much that the royal family member in the outer courtyard must have come here under a lot of cover and secrets, and would not let the news out.Also, with the great Buddha sitting in the city, Qin Tong believed that, given the already tense relationship between the supreme father and son, the prince would never dare to touch the sensitive minefield that his imperial father had already paid attention to.

Qin Tong handwritten the above-mentioned "silver has entered the pocket of the emperor", handed it to his housekeeper, and asked him to take it back after the person read it, worried that the housekeeper didn't pay enough attention to it, so Qin Tong made a special note of it. Added a sentence, this note is related to the lives of the Xue family!

After receiving such a task, recalling the condescending attitude of the official from outside the capital, Steward Xue was already mentally prepared to splatter three feet of blood, but who knew that this capital After the old official read it, his originally red and triumphant face suddenly turned ashen-colored, and he was trembling with fright, so the note that the mistress asked to take back naturally changed from a pair of shaking like sifting chaff. The hand slipped out, and then floated, floated, and floated to the place four fingers in front of the butler's feet.

Steward Xue's heart tightened, he raised his eyelids, and found that the official was still in a state of panic, so he quickly stretched out a foot to tickle, stepped on the note into the sole of his foot, slowly He let out a breath, and then asked the distinguished guest in the mansion with a questioning expression: "Are you alright? There is a doctor enshrined in the mansion. Although his medical skills are far from comparable to those of the imperial physician in the capital, he is still not a problem for ordinary headaches." , why don't you invite him here, little one?"

Because there is a cousin who is the crown prince, he has not known what "fear" is for a long time, but now, in this little merchant's house, he knows that he is so scared that he almost peed his pants!Now his mind is full of pictures of family raids and exterminations that he has seen before.

Buddhas of the heavens, the emperor already knew about their acceptance of the money from Xue's family, and even robbed them!That's the crown prince's purse!No, the point should be that the emperor has controlled the prince's pocketbook!Give the prince financial constraints, then the next step is to cut off the arms of these princes, and next, it is logical to abolish the prince, right?Thinking of this, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head suddenly, and he couldn't help shivering. Thinking back to when he left Beijing, the emperor actually reprimanded the crown prince for an hour because of a small incident!

He no longer dared to take any chances, he felt ruthless in his heart, bit the tip of his tongue, the pain caused him to recover immediately from the panic and fear, and without further words, he left Xue's mansion with the wind under his feet, and left Xue's house as fast as he could. After leaving Jinling, he went straight to the capital day and night.He wants to tell the prince the news as soon as possible, they have to plan well and take some effective measures, otherwise what awaits them is a deep abyss...

Butler Xue stared dumbfounded at the Beijing official who had been holding his hand before, but suddenly ran out of Xue's mansion like a gust of wind regardless of his demeanor!I just feel that this Beijing official is extremely abnormal!Butler Xue, who was not in danger of life, was very relaxed and leisurely, lamenting and sympathizing with the emperor who had such a courtier. After thinking wildly for a long time, he remembered that the mistress in the inner house was still waiting for him to reply, so he squatted down and wiped the paper on the bottom of his feet. He took it out and hid it in his bosom before turning back to the inner courtyard to spread the word.

Qin Tong who got the reply only thought that her fake secret decree scared away the prince's cousin, but she didn't know that her unintentional move actually caused the prince to plot against the palace earlier than in the original book, and this action was even more serious. The haste caused relatively less harm to the capital. Therefore, Wang Ziteng, who should have made outstanding contributions in this operation, had no chance to display his talents, so that Wang Ziteng's favor was far from It's not as big as in the original book, and his official career is far less smooth than in the original book.

Another advantage that can be considered is that Wang Ziteng, who is not soaring and rising, is more cautious than Wang Ziteng in the original book, and has more time to control his nephews and confinement women.Let Wang Xifeng, who should be arrogant and willful, lose her strong backing and be well-educated, so she behaves in a more orderly manner, and also teaches Wang Ren, the second-generation patriarch, to be a good person who is struggling in the ups and downs of the officialdom. Erlang.

In other words, as the days passed, Qin Tong became more and more puzzled before the Mr. Xi Xi recommended by her brother Wang Ziteng arrived, even though she said in her letter to her brother, "Don't worry, just look for it slowly." Yes", but it has been almost half a year, and Mr. Xixi has not been seen yet, so this is not the same thing, right?She was hesitating whether to send the steward at home (she wanted Xue Pan to enter the formal academic career as soon as possible, but she was worried that it would be bad if she was too impatient and offended Wang Ziteng), Qin Tong heard a shocking news: the prince forced the palace to rebel!

Qin Tong... this idiot!It's nothing more than courting death, and delaying the progress of my son's study, he deserves to be abolished!I don't know at all, and she has two points of credit for this.

After another two months like this, Qin Tong finally waited for Mr. Xixi recommended by his elder brother.Wang Ziteng has always been very reliable in his affairs, and this time is no exception. For his nephew, he also carefully investigated Mr. Xixi's life history and family background. After confirming everything was correct, he recommended it to his sister. come over.From then on, Xue Pan officially started his arduous journey to study.Of course, Qin Tong didn't care about one thing and lose another, and she did something patriarchal. She also spent a lot of money to invite the most famous female teacher in Jiangnan Academy for Xiao Baochai.

It has to be mentioned that for this well-known female gentleman, Qin Tong once thought she was a disciple of the Xiaoyao School in Jin Yong's martial arts, but in her 30s, she is almost omnipotent, not only mastering this era. The ability of a female housekeeper, and the basic skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography have also become a hobby, and in her spare time, she goes to the small kitchen to make a specialty soup for health and beauty. Occasionally when the weather is sunny and sunny, she also She can go out to race horses and play cuju very emotionally, and what's even more exasperating is that she can also teach gynecological medicine!

After sighing and marveling, in order to keep her for a long time, Qin Tong took her only daughter into the mansion to raise her like Xiao Baochai.Such a generous move really won the gratitude and trust of the female husband. In return, she offered to teach Qin Tong the two musical instruments she is relatively good at—the pipa and the guzheng. Qin Tong, who made a good living, was pleasantly surprised!

Therefore, Xiao Baochai's music class was taken with her mother, which made Xiao Xue Pan, who wanted to complain that her homework was much heavier than that of her younger sister, was greatly balanced psychologically.Little Xue Pan's inner monologue: Although it is true that he loves his mother very much, if he studies and attends lectures with his mother, doesn't that mean he loses a little freedom?Think about it, even though the homework is multi-tasking and heavy, he can still play a little prank for entertainment when he has time, but if he and his mother are classmates, how can he be so brave?Men, still need some private space!It's just hard work for my sister, um, he promises to love her more in the future!
