Prince of the Red Chamber and his father

"Oops!"

When Ba Ye hurriedly stepped into the inner room, Yinfeng was impatiently hugging his eldest sister to learn to write, while Ji Huaiyuan was scribbling on the paper while supervising their father and daughter. He looked up and stared at him.

"What's the matter, second uncle wants to write a hundred characters too?" The eldest sister said in a childish voice, she couldn't sit still, and wanted to throw the pen in her hand out several times, and draw pictures with her grandfather, but her father didn't allow it. Thinking that the second uncle was the same as himself, he couldn't help but sympathize.

Now my eldest sister has five favorite people, the first one is my grandfather, who often feeds me delicious food, and various gadgets, and is willing to play with me.The second uncle and fourth aunt are ranked second. The second uncle often loves to hug him, and the fourth aunt can teach him how to draw.

"It's snowing outside, and it's very cold. The potted flowers raised by my father haven't been moved in yet." Hearing the elder sister's question, Ba Ye smiled and pinched her little cheek, and the cold elder sister hurried to hide behind.

After hearing this, Ji Huaiyuan hurriedly put down his pen and got up to go out to fetch flowers. The eldest sister was also very happy to hear that it was snowing, and clamored to go play in the snow in the yard.

"Wait a minute, father, add a big sweater and take the eldest sister out." Yinfeng frowned. It's been a long time, and his father still likes to do everything by himself.A big master, what does it look like to move a flower pot!

The servant girls here help the grandparents and grandchildren to dress, and the little girl over there ordered a few servants to bring in all the flower pots outside the window.

"What's wrong?" Yinfeng asked Ba Ye after everyone left.

"The Fourteenth sent someone to report that the emperor is already in Ping'an Prefecture." Eighth Master frowned slightly, the Fourteenth Brother's temper might show his feet.

"I already know. The old lady said that a large group of relatives came to the second bedroom, and they said they came with the emperor." The emperor was really careful at all times, and returned to Beijing quietly. Gathered a large group of people to accompany the journey.

"I'm worried about Fourteenth Brother's temper. If the emperor frightens him a little, I'm afraid he will explain everything." Ba Ye sighed.The emperor made a special trip to Ping'an Prefecture, not just to rest his feet, of course, he probably went to the soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture by the way.His eyes are very poisonous, can you not see the doorway inside?Whenever there is a trace of suspicion, the fourteenth brother can't hide it.

"What are you worrying about now? Soldiers come to block you, and water comes to cover you. Is it possible that you can deny him for the rest of your life? As for the fourteenth brother, you don't have to worry, the emperor won't do anything to him." Although Yinfeng often said The past and the past are wiped out, but I dare not deny each other for the rest of my life.

"If the imperial father... and everyone gathers together, then our arrangement will be in vain?" In Ba Ye's heart, after all, it is the emperor and his ministers, father and son. If he recognizes the imperial father, he will naturally not be able to resist. Brother has worked so hard, is he making wedding clothes for the fourth child?

"Eighth brother, don't forget, why do we make these arrangements, isn't it just for such a day!" Yinfeng sneered, father and son brothers have to recognize, but they will not give in to those who should fight.

Seeing the ferocious smile of the crown prince, Ba Ye shuddered involuntarily. Although he had already had a premonition that the father and son who were the closest in their previous life would not easily break up their wars, but if they really broke out, then It was another bloodbath, and sooner or later the brothers would be involved.

"Eighth brother, don't forget, the emperor's old man is not just talking about it, he is just your second uncle, and he is just a sixth-grade official!" Yinfeng sneered.

"Brother understands." Father and son are father and son, and identity is identity. Eighth Master understood the plan of the crown prince, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If the emperor's father is arbitrary again, he might as well give up as soon as possible.

"Second Lord, Ms. Miaoyu from Changcui An ordered some red plums to be brought here." A beautiful servant girl came in and replied, seeing Yinreng lowered her head, she bowed out again, and brought two aunts in after a while , holding a vase with red plums in his arms.

"Your sister, you have a good family background, no wonder the second brother is so polite to her." Seeing that Yinfeng ordered the servant girl to reward the things and sent the two aunts out, he took out a branch of red plum from the vase to play with.

"There are a lot of useful people in her place, and I have to win over them. Why does the fourth child ignore a room full of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and only praise the big girl Qi who doesn't know a single word? Isn't it also for the soldiers and horses of Ping'an Prefecture ?" Seeing Ba Ye staring at a branch of red plum with profound meaning, Yinreng could not guess why he was speaking with a hint of teasing.

Miaoyu didn't know that one of her red plums was used by the eighth master for a while, and the one she gave to Yinfeng was broken by herself. The rest of the masters of the Rongguo Mansion ordered the aunts to break them randomly and send them one by one, so as not to Just send it to the emperor, and the others will do something wrong.

"Girl, all the ladies and grandmas in their family happened to be in the old lady's room. When they saw me sending the red plums, they all smiled and said that it was in harmony with the snowy sky. I don't know that girl said that it was suitable for composing poems. Discussions started, I listened to them before leaving, they seemed to be going to Luxueting, the girl's poetry is no worse than them, why not join in the fun?" The aunt saw that her girl's mind has become more active these days, In the dead of night, I secretly pursed my red lips and took a selfie in the mirror. The Buddhist gate is empty, so I must be lonely.

"I'm a monk, what can I do with them!" Miao Yu leaned against the window and stared at the plum blossoms in the snow in a daze. If she wanted to get her wish, she had to wait for her brother to do it.

"Miss said this again. Didn't you also associate with Miss Lin and Miss Bao before? By the way, Miss, guess who I met. There are a few new ladies from relatives in the house. I heard that they are all from the Nengshi Club. Written, the girl Xing in it is an old acquaintance of the girl, and the girl taught her when she was in the south. You might as well talk to Miss Xing, and go to Lu Xueting to play for a while." The aunt urged.In the past, she didn't feel anything, the girl seemed to resign herself to her fate, she only occasionally wrote a few words and burned them again. Recently, her temper has become more and more irritable. She didn't feel it herself, but it hurt the people around her.

"Forget it, since she doesn't want to come to see me, there is no reason for me to see her." Miao Yu still refused.

"Girl, Miss Xing is here for the first time, how do you know that the girl is also in the mansion, if she knows, she must come to reminisce about the old days, choosing a date is worse than hitting the sun, what is there to care about? Besides, I sent so many red plums to the mansion. Girls and grandmas, maybe they will send a girl to thank you later, and the girl will be upset when she sees it, so it's better to hide for a while."

In fact, Miaoyu's heart has already been moved, and after hearing what my aunt said, her expression became a little looser.Being bored in the nunnery for a long time, it is better to go out for a stroll. If you meet Baoyu and Lin Xue in Lu Xueting, even Jinglianshi will not be lonely.

The sisters-in-law saw that she was moved, so they put on the crane cloud cloak for her, and sent two sister-in-laws to follow.

Miaoyu came out of Changcui nunnery, and from a distance she saw maids and wives coming and going in front of Lu Xueting's courtyard. She walked up to her, and those maids hurriedly invited her in.

There was a heated kang inside the house, and there were many girls and grandmas. Seeing Miaoyu coming in, they were busy and clever, and took her to compose poems together.

"Second Grandma Lian, it's not good, do you want to tell the old lady?" As soon as Wang Xifeng raised her head, a woman came in and yelled that she was not good.

"The place where the girl's grandma is, you also wandered in and out at will? Could it be that everyone outside is dead?" Wang Xifeng couldn't help scolding when she saw that she couldn't speak clearly over and over again.

"Second Mistress, this old woman came here just now, saying that Second Master Bao is not good, so we dare not stop her. Who would have thought that she would not be able to explain clearly when she came in." The daughter-in-law in charge outside listened outside the curtain. Seeing this, he hurried in and replied.

"What's wrong with Baoyu? What's wrong?" Wang Xifeng was startled. Could it be that there are assassins in the mansion? No, the garden is heavily guarded. Which assassin with no eyes would dare to come in rashly?

"The boy in front of Second Master Bao said that Baoyu is not good." The woman continued to say over and over again, but she couldn't tell what was going on.

"Perhaps this old woman is deaf. Don't let her discourage everyone. You can write poems here. I only have that sentence. I don't care if it can be done or not. I'll go and see Baoyu. Sister Gangxue Didn't it mean that he would not come because he was afraid that the master would ask him about his homework when he came back today? Baoyu has worked hard for more than half a year, and the master is definitely not dissatisfied. Since the sister of the Qi family is worried, come with me." Wang Xifeng waited for a long time , I was impatient for a long time, and sent her out first, then smiled to appease Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun who stood up, brought Qi Jiao who came over, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Miss Qi was also illiterate, so it was embarrassing to put her in the group of sisters. When she heard that Baoyu was not well, she was the first to stand up and go to see her. Wang Xifeng thought of taking her away so as not to disturb the sisters. their elegance.

"Since you're gone, at least I'll send someone to send a letter, so it doesn't have to be missed." Seeing what she said, Li Wan also instructed with a smile.

Just as Wang Xifeng was about to leave, she saw a group of old ladies coming over, and came in to know that they were composing poems for fun, so she hurriedly said hello, and mentioned that the New Year is coming soon, and after the New Year's Day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, lantern riddles should also be prepared.Wang Xifeng couldn't leave immediately, so she came back to serve the old lady for a while, and then found an excuse to slip out and send someone to find out what happened to Baoyu.

Everyone in Lu Xueting saw that the old lady had come, and thought that it must not be a big deal, seeing the old lady's confused look, Second Master Bao would never send her here if there was anything, so they were relieved and happy again.

Accompanying the old lady were Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue. They were elderly because they were afraid of the cold, so they sat and talked inside, while the girls continued the couplet poem by Wang Xifeng outside.Shi Xiangyun has been depressed these days, rushing to write, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin are not far behind, a few people come and go, only Miaoyu occasionally interjects, other people see them scrambling together, it is very interesting, they all sip I smiled.

Just talking about being happy, Wang Xifeng sent Ping'er to invite the old lady.

"Why did you go across the front yard properly? What's wrong with Feng girl?" The old lady was talking happily with Aunt Xue, and the kitchen brought some food, and she was eating. Seeing that Ping'er had prepared a warm sedan chair to invite her, she couldn't help but wondered. .

"Master is back, Second Mistress invited the old lady over." Ping'er didn't dare to tell the truth, it was snowing and the road was cold and slippery every day, and the old lady was anxious that if something happened again, the house would have no backbone.

"Just talk about it, Ping'er." The old lady also heard the way, how could there be any reason why Zheng'er rushed to see him when he came back?Lian Pinger, a maid who is so stable, has something wrong with her complexion, something must have happened.

"Old lady, I don't know what's wrong when the master comes back, so I just asked the boy to call the second master Bao to the study. After hearing that he said a few words, he ordered someone to hit the second master with a board. For those who want to persuade you, the old lady should go over quickly." Ping'er had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Why are you beating him so well? Baoyu has worked so hard in the past six months. Why did he move the board as soon as he came back?" The old lady didn't believe it at first, but then suddenly remembered that the man was not Zheng'er. Who knew why he was beating Baoyu? Busy and anxious again.

"Old lady, slow down. Fortunately, Aunt Jiao is here. She rushed into the study to protect the second master. I think it will be all right now." The boy was knocked down by her fists and kicks, but adding fuel to the fire made the master even more angry.

"I just said that girl is a good one." The old lady was a little relieved, and supported Ping'er's hand to sit in the warm sedan chair. Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were also in a hurry. They didn't care about composing any poems, and followed the old lady's lead. The sedan chair is about to go to the study in the outer courtyard.

"Two aunts and grandmas, wait a minute. Although the board of Second Master Bao was stopped by Aunt Jiao, he was seriously injured. I heard from the boy that blood was seen in the severe parts. You should go back to Yihong Courtyard and wait, and prepare some injuries." Medicine, Second Mistress said that Second Master Bao must be brought in later." Ping'er hurriedly stopped the two of them, and whispered.The outer courtyard is full of young servants, so where is it suitable for them to go, Aunt Bao has always been prudent, so she can't care about it now.

"What Ping'er said is, Bao girl and Yun girl go back quickly, your wife and I will go and see Baoyu's place." Aunt Xue also persuaded her daughter.

Mrs. Wang also heard it attentively, and she started to cry a long time ago. She only has one precious jade. If he is beaten badly, who can she rely on in the future?Aunt Xue hurriedly turned around to persuade.

After finally sending everyone away, the sisters were no longer in the mood to couple poems and recite sentences. Miaoyu invited Xing Xiuyan to Changcui Nunnery. Li Wen and Li Qi were still there, so they knew that Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were worried about their second elder brother and couldn't care less about greeting their two sisters, so they invited them to their room to talk. They went out of the garden together.

Xue Baoqin wrote ten nostalgic poems on the way here, originally intended for all the sisters to read, but who knows that the good poetry club was disturbed by that precious jade, so I had to take it out for the four sisters to read together.

There used to be Xue's house in Beijing. She and her elder brother didn't need to stay in Rongguo Mansion when they went to Beijing this time, but since they got engaged when they were young, they have gradually drifted away from Mei's family. in the eyes.The elder brother told her that the Rongguo Mansion was very powerful, and if Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were used, they would be able to climb this big tree. Maybe the Mei family would change their minds and marry him for fear of offending the Rongguo Mansion.

So after I came to the mansion, I must win the favor of the old lady and sisters so that I can rely on them in the future.

With this thought in mind, Xue Baoqin took out the articles and poems she had written on weekdays. Seeing from Lin Daiyu, Li Wen and Li Qi were newcomers and didn't care much about Baoyu, so the four of them returned to Lin Daiyu's room and continued to talk about poems and papers.

Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were so anxious that they sent people to the front yard for questioning over and over again, and only after four or five times did they hear that the old lady had arrived in the study.

After the old lady and the others rushed all the way to the study room in the outer courtyard, the young man at the door did not dare to stop her. The old lady held Ping'er's hand and entered the room. Seeing Baoyu being held in Qi Jiao's arms, her face was pale and she was already unable to move. .

When Mrs. Wang saw it, she stepped forward, touched Baoyu's chest, hands and feet, and burst into tears, crying for Jia Zhu for a while, Baoyu for a while, and shouting about Yuanchun's revenge.

Everyone was confused when they heard this, so the old lady hurriedly asked Sister Feng to send someone to pull Mrs. Wang away, and then sent a few strong servants to carry them to Yihong Courtyard, and Mrs. Wang followed them crying.

Someone had been waiting at the entrance of the garden for a long time. When Mrs. Wang saw that Baochai had prepared the bed wound medicine and so on, she felt a little better. Tanchun ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor to come, and said to wait and see after taking the pulse. It was serious but didn't hurt the bones, and it would be fine after a month or two of care, and everyone stopped crying.

"Ma'am, do you know why the master beat the second master?" Xue Baochai and Baoyu fell asleep after drinking the medicine, Qi Jiao insisted on staying by the bed, so she helped Mrs. Wang to the Nuange and ordered the little maid to pour tea.

"I don't know, and I don't know where it came from. It's a lonely ghost who was hit by the master. It's not enough to kill him, but also to kill my Baoyu.

"Madam be careful." Xue Baochai looked around and saw that only her confidant maid Ying'er was there, so she hurriedly advised Mrs. Wang.

"My son, I only have Baoyu left now. You have to take good care of him for me. Our mother and son will only count on him in the future. Where is the master, the old lady is worried. When I came back, I saw that they were retiring to serve. There must always be an explanation for the person."

The old lady knew very well that the person in front of her was not her son, so she sat up tremblingly from the chair after dismissing all the servant girls in the room.

"Our Jia family is the lifeblood of this one. What do you mean by beating him to death today? You don't need to explain. I just think that a son died of bad luck. From then on, the Jia family has nothing to do with you. You want to be the emperor." That's fine, whatever you want to do, don't harm our family anymore." The old lady wiped her tears, the man in front of her has unfathomable means, but now he is doing it for no reason, what is his plan?It is indescribable that Baoyu is born with jade in his mouth, doesn't he know that?

When Kangxi saw the old lady crying like this for Yinzhen, he suddenly thought of his grandmother, and his heart softened a little.How can I tell the silver-haired old man in front of me that her precious grandson has already changed his soul?

"Don't worry, I won't go to the government to say that Quan Dangzheng is dead. You continue to be his official. When you are in a daze in the future, we will not rush to take advantage of it. What about this one? Our Rongguo Mansion is not as good as the previous generation. It is hard to produce a precious jade. When he was born, he had visions. When he grows up, he resembles his grandfather. His appearance and temperament are not bad. Since you took Zheng'er's body, he also I still think it's your credit for getting better every day, but why do you want to beat him to death?"

Kangxi was really speechless, could it be said that his son is a debt, and he couldn't help but move his hands in a moment of anger?

When returning to Beijing from Jinling, I just happened to pass by Ping'an Prefecture, Qi Kang sent someone to send a letter, saying where half of the troops left behind were, so he thought about going over to have a look, if something happens in the future, these are the soldiers who are his personal guards, and he has to find out the details. good.

Unexpectedly, I met Fourteen!The son obviously knew who he was, and if it wasn't for his trembling, he wouldn't have become suspicious.He also had an impression of Jia Yun. When he left, he paid attention to it at home. She was smart and flexible, and she might come in handy in the future.

The more Kangxi looked at him, the more suspicious he became. After asking a question, his son plopped down on his knees.

Obviously when she left, Jia Yun was still the same Jia Yun, and her son hadn't come yet, how did she recognize herself?

Kangxi was suspicious, so he talked to Fourteen calmly, and finally fell backward in anger!

There is actually a litter of sons in the Rongguo Mansion, and I haven't found any of them!

The big house's Jia Lian is Baocheng!Brother Cong is Yinhu, Baoyu should be Yinzhen, Ningguo Mansion is said by Fourteen, Jia Zhen is the eldest son Yinyi, and the ninth and tenth are also mixed in that mansion.

Kangxi thought about the old fourteen's words, recalled the remarks of the Qing Ke boy, and then recalled the time he met them once or twice, obviously he had changed his core, and he knew who he was, but he just didn't recognize him!

How can there be such an unfilial son in the world, Kangxi was angry, and hurried back, not knowing what he was going to do, and repeated the words of Fourteen all the way.

At that time in Changchun Garden, although I was not seriously ill, there were many imperial physicians and Western doctors around, thinking that I could always be cured, so I didn’t leave any imperial edicts, why did the fourth son ascend the throne based on the imperial edicts Woolen cloth?

Kangxi couldn't help wondering about his illness, whether the fourth child was also playing tricks on it, if he was not guilty, why did he surround the Changchun Garden with soldiers and prevent the ministers from visiting?

I also remembered what Shisi said, the prince in his palm, even if he plotted to kill his father, he would not be willing to do anything wrong, and put it in Xian'an Palace to be raised, but it was folded into the hands of the fourth child.

The eighth, the ninth, the prince, except for the thirteenth son, none of the sons will end well. Kangxi thinks of the kindness of the fourth son who often wants to chant Buddha and become a monk, and hates his teeth.

Killing brothers and brothers naturally has the courage to kill fathers!

It's just that these are all fourteen's one-sided words. Kangxi was furious, but refused to believe it all. After returning to Rongguo Mansion, he called the fourth child over and told him everything.

Who would have thought that evil son would just kneel so straight, neither defending nor clarifying.

Is it true?Kangxi couldn't help cursing angrily.

"The emperor's dictatorship is arbitrary. Of course, it is you who say the truth, and it is the truth." Yinzhen closed his eyes. He knew that the emperor would punish him if he knew about it, but he didn't expect him to be so indiscriminate. He said it himself Kill your own father!

In the Changchun Garden, although I was wary of the ministers who were close to the old man and forbade them to come in to visit, but during the time when the emperor's father was seriously ill, I personally served Tang Yaoyi, and I seemed to have lost half of my life after the emperor's father left. That's how he earned his reputation as a patricide!

After the emperor's father left, he had to clean up the mess left by his old man, and at the same time he had to deal with the brothers who were running around, exhausted and died young, what did he get in exchange?Since he ascended the throne, he hasn't had a good night's sleep, and even the eunuchs and maids who serve beside him can't stand it, kneeling down and begging himself to rest, but the concubines, mothers and brothers, don't have a word of concern!He tried his best to criticize the memorial, but if he couldn't get a good word, the people in the world would just complain. Seeing that they were doing well, it was all thanks to him.Sometimes I swear a few times regardless of good or bad, and it's over after listening.But why did the emperor teach himself this way? If any brother had inherited the Aixinjueluo clan, he would not have done better than himself!

Yinzhen was beaten and scolded, his heart was ashamed, Kangxi saw that he acquiesced, and naturally became more angry.

It's just that after venting, you have to clean up the mess. Kangxi really couldn't bear to tell the silver-haired old grandmother in front of him, your grandson is gone.The old lady is over seventy years old, and she still has a few years to live, so let's keep it secret for now.

"Old lady, I keep my promises in my mouth, and I beat Baoyu today because he doesn't want to make progress." The more Kangxi thought about it, the more sad he became, and he said perfunctorily.

"Discipline Baoyu, I won't stop you, but Zheng'er is only such a child. If you hurt him, my Jia family will fight you hard! This child has a simple heart since he was a child. He didn't think so much before. Everything has to be done step by step. Before Pearl died because of being pushed too hard by his old lady. But this child is born with aura, he was cursed once last year, and two old gods came to save him once. It was carried in the womb. It has a history. If Baoyu has something good or bad, it would not be good to annoy the gods in the sky. You can come here, maybe it is also the credit of that piece of jade. If Baoyu is gone, the jade has no owner. , Naturally also followed, what should we do if we stay?" The old lady was relieved when she saw that Kangxi softened, and while thinking about Baoyu's injury, she threatened calmly.

"Don't worry, old lady, I will never beat him again." Kangxi thought of the heavy hand he had slapped, and he had long regretted it, and seeing the old lady like this again, he hurriedly replied.There must be abnormalities, and what the old lady said may not be true. Kangxi has seen the power of the jade with his own eyes, so it is not certain that the father and son were really attracted by the jade.

Only then did Jia's mother feel relieved, and was sent out of the study by Kangxi to the garden.

Kangxi also followed into Yihong Courtyard, fearing that his son would have something bad or bad.
