Red House Shoufu

Chapter 136
Faithful Wang Gao Yongyi wants Xue Baochai to be his side concubine?

Lin Shu remembered the first time he and Xue Baochai met in the bamboo forest of the Lin Mansion. Xue Baochai, who had a plump appearance and elegant demeanor, made a good impression on him.

Wang Ziteng became more and more proficient at selling his niece. One Jia Yuanchun was not enough, so he wanted to sell another Xue Baochai.

"Has this matter been confirmed? Why haven't I seen the letter of request from Prince Zhongxin's Mansion and Zongzheng Temple?"

The concubine of the prince mentioned by Xue Pan refers to the wife of the prince's concubine, whose status is higher than that of ordinary concubines.According to the "Great Chu Huidian", all the relatives of the king can marry one princess and two wives in the concubine, and those who have children can be canonized as concubines and entered into the royal jade.There are eight concubines without a title, and those who have children can be canonized as wives.

If Gao Yongyi really wants to accept Xue Baochai as his concubine's wife, then he must first report to Zongzheng Temple, and then Zongzheng Temple will invite the palace to welcome the concubine's wife to enter and record it in the imperial jade certificate.

Lin Shu served as the imperial edict and the cabinet, and the imperial edicts would be delivered by him. These days, there is no news about the concubine wife of the loyal king Gao Yongyi.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: Gao Yongyi's promise to the Xue family is false, and if Xue Baochai really goes to the palace, she will only be an ordinary concubine Ji.

As for why Wang Ziteng didn't tell Xue's family about this, it is probably the same as when Yuan Chun entered the palace, the actual situation is not the same as what he promised.

Lin Shu told Xue Pan all the rules for taking concubine wives and what he knew.

Xue Pan's eyes were wide open and his face was flushed with anger: "Isn't this a lie? How can uncle deceive mother?"

"Perhaps Wang Shangshu doesn't know the inside story of this matter. After all, the imperial family's concubines are not known to the whole court. It's just that I sit in the cabinet and know more about it."

Even Lin Shu himself didn't believe this reassuring words.He handed a cup of tea to Xue Pan: "If Brother Xue really wants to solve this matter, you have to do it yourself. After all, the other party is the son of the Supreme Emperor, the prince of Dachu, let alone me, it is your uncle Wang Ziteng They might not be able to withstand it.”

Xue Pan took the warm tea and drank it down.He clasped his fists and asked, "Please ask Xueshi Lin to teach me!"

"This matter depends on whether Brother Xue can bear the hardships and suffer..." Lin Shu said pointedly: "It stands to reason that Brother Xue is now the head of the Xue family, and your sister's marriage should be up to you Make the decision, not to mention your uncle Wang Shangshu, even Mrs. Xue can't make this decision over you."

A woman obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband dies.Xue Pan's father has passed away, and Xue Wang's housewife cannot preside over Xue Baochai's marriage.The eldest brother is like a father, and Xue Pan is the one who can make decisions about Xue Baochai's marriage.

Lin Shu pointed to Fang Zhifang, and said to Xue Pan: "The problem lies with you. You are now a dead person in name, and your name is not in the register of the household department at all. So, you just want to stop this, and you must No name or no name."

Only then did Xue Pan remember that when he was in Jinling, in order to escape the punishment of the law, he feigned death and went to the capital to avoid disaster.

He got up from the stone bench and knelt directly in front of Lin Shu: "Scholar Lin must have a way, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to me, a fool like me. Miss Lin reminded my sister a few days ago, and I didn't Think about it. From today's point of view, if this matter is not resolved, the Xue family may never have peace."

With three thumps, Xue Pan knocked his head to the ground forcefully.Lin Shu got up quickly to support Xue Pan, this man was a bit muddled, but he was very sincere.

He motioned Xue Pan to sit down: "Now there is only one way, you take the initiative to go to Shuntian Mansion to ask for legal punishment..."

Lin Shu's solution was very simple. Xue Pan went to Shuntian Mansion to surrender. Because of Xiang Ling (Zhen Yinglian), he fought with others and killed Feng Yuan. According to the law, the maximum sentence in this case was a cane sentence and a prison sentence of three thousand miles.

When the status is restored, Xue Baochai will take back Xue Baochai's marriage decision as the head of the Xue family.

As for the matter of punishment, in order to make up for the emptiness of the national treasury when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he set up the matter of redemption money. With some money, he could return to the capital in a year at most.

Although Lin Shu disagreed with the atonement silver, using it on Xue Pan could just solve the problem.

At the end, Lin Shu stared into Xue Pan's eyes, and said solemnly: "This method is the safest, but whether you are punished with a stick or imprisoned, you will have to go through it once. It depends on whether Brother Xue can endure the hardship." Already!"

Is Xue Pan worth helping?Let's see if he can make up his mind today.

Judging from the shitty things he did before, Lin Shu didn't even bother to talk to him.However, this matter involves King Zhongxin and Wang Ziteng, Lin Shu will never miss it if it can cause trouble for these two people.

Moreover, during several exchanges with Xue Pan, Lin Shu also discovered Xue Pan's shining point.Love, righteousness, boldness and filial piety, this kind of people are more worthy of association than those hypocrites.

Xue Pan bowed his head in thought after Lin Shu told him the method that frightened him.Lin Shu didn't urge him either, and quietly waited for Xue Pan's decision.

Why did Lin Shu come up with this idea?In addition to adding obstacles to King Zhongxin and Prince Teng, there is another very important reason, and that is Jia Yucun.

Since passing on Lu, Jia Yucun has repeatedly publicized in court that he taught Lin Shu, and more than once wanted to ask Lin Shu to help him get through the relationship with the cabinet scholars.

No matter from the original book or Lin Shu's understanding of this person, it is absolutely correct to describe Jia Yucun as a white-eyed wolf.

When Xue Pan committed the crime, it was Jia Yucun, who was the prefect of Jinling at the time, who sentenced him.As for whether he wanted to curry favor with Wang Ziteng or the Rongguo Mansion, or whether Wang Ziteng had received him before, it didn't matter.

What Lin Shu wanted was to completely cut off Jia Yucun's path to officialdom.As long as Xue Pan turns himself in, Jia Yucun, who was in charge of the case, will be exposed for his accusations of clinging to the powerful and bending the law for personal gain.

At that time, it will be easy to lose the official position, and he might have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

"Scholar Lin, I've made up my mind. No matter what, I can't let my sister fall into this quagmire. My mother doesn't know the secrets of the inner house, but I know it very well. Even if I can't redeem my sin with money, I will let my sister marry a Ruyi Sir, I will go to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow..."

Lin Shu looked at Xue Pan with a firm expression, and a smile appeared on his face.He stopped Xue Pan from saying: "There is no rush for a day or two, before that, you need to meet two people."

"I also ask Lin Shu for advice!" Xue Pan knew that he was not as far-sighted as Lin Shu, so he asked for advice.

Lin Shu said: "One is your cousin-in-law, Jia Lian. With his help, you can save yourself a lot of trouble. Second, you need to vote for Zhongshun Wang's family, so that the Xue family's royal merchant brand can be preserved. With the name of Huangshang, the Xue family will not fall because of your conviction."
