Red House Shoufu

Chapter 156 Green hat?

eight years old?At the age of eight, she was able to find the correct answer from clues. She really deserves to be my fiancée, Lin Shu!
Compared with Wang Yuan, Wang Huan is much worse as an elder brother.Of course, this is also related to girls' inherently delicate minds. Who would take a Buddhist scripture to study so carefully?

Wang Qi praised his daughter, but despised his son.He talked about his relationship with the current emperor.

It turned out that when Wang Qi was admitted to the university as a young man, he made a bad move in the selection of the hall, and was assigned to Dali Temple to serve as the seventh-rank judge.As the trend of seizing the heirloom in the capital gradually rose, the party struggle became more and more serious.

Wang Qi, who had no backer in Beijing, was suppressed from the position of deputy of the sixth-rank Dali Temple for five or six years, until he met Imakami, who was only the prince and prince at the time, when he was relaxing in Dabaoen Temple.

Wang Qi is dissatisfied with the faction and dissent in the officialdom today, and he is also disgusted with the court's negligence and extravagance.The two of them shared the same hatred, drank together in Merlin, and vented their dissatisfaction.

At that time, Wang Qi didn't know that it was the prince and prince who was getting drunk and angry with him. He thought that he couldn't get used to the "angry youth" who couldn't get used to the deteriorating world.

It wasn't until he was appointed as the head of the sixth-rank criminal department today, and met the prince in charge of the criminal department in the lobby of the criminal department, it turned out that the person who got drunk with him turned out to be the emperor's own son!

In this way, Wang Qi, who has a backing, finally does not have to be afraid of being suppressed by both sides of the party struggle, and he is not afraid of the wind of seizing the heirloom.

Until the end of the 44th year of Longsheng, when the first prince committed suicide in the palace and the Supreme Emperor took the throne, he was sent to Jiangnan by the emperor to serve as a small Suzhou co-prefect. In secret, he helped the emperor monitor Jiangnan and collect various information about Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty has never had any plans to seize the heir. Except for a few ex-officials in the Ministry of Punishment who are in charge, I am the most reliable and most useful person around me. Jiangnan is an important place for the imperial court's money and food, so he sent me to Suzhou... ..."

Wang Qi didn't say what he did in Jiangnan, but Lin Shu could roughly guess it from the memorials and newspapers about Jiangnan during these days.

On the surface, the Japanese pirates invaded from time to time, and the noble gentry fought for power and profit, but the main money and grain production areas have gradually been controlled by the emperor's men and horses.

Now only the surrounding area of ​​Jinling is still in the hands of King Zhongxin's men and horses, a typical way of surrounding the cities from the countryside and besieging the big cities from the small towns.

"My son-in-law once guessed that you were an old man, but I didn't expect that the person standing behind you was Your Majesty."

Wang Qi waved his hand, stepped forward and patted Wang Huan and Lin Shu on the shoulders, and told them: "Okay, I won't mention this matter. Telling this matter today is to tell you that if you encounter problems in the future, don't worry about it yourself." Carry it alone. Even if I can't help you, I can find a way for you!"

The two brothers bowed and said yes one after another. With thigh hugs, the two of them would naturally not be polite.

……

When Wang Qi's family returned to Jiananyuan to rest, Daiyu quietly walked to Lin Shu's side, pulled his sleeve and stared at him.

Lin Shu put his big hand on Daiyu's head and rubbed it: "My brother is not good today, and Yu'er is worried!"

"I'm not blaming you, it's just that my brother still needs to tell me about these things in advance. I can't help much, and I can always bear it with my brother, right? If something happens to my brother, how can I live alone?"

Daiyu's expression is extremely serious. In her consciousness, her elder brother Lin Shu is her only support.If one day Lin Shu leaves like her father and mother, she will never live alone.

"Understood, I will not take risks again in the future. This time is a lesson that cannot be repeated again. I have engraved it in my heart, and I must always be vigilant against myself. I must know how to be in awe and know how to protect myself..."

While the brothers and sisters were talking, Lin Shu handed Daiyu, who was already tired, into the hands of Wang Momo.

Insects chirp in the summer night, and the night before dawn is dispelled by the rising sun, and the light reappears.

After breakfast, Lin Shu changed into a brand new official uniform, ready to go to the cabinet to be on duty.Looking at the semi-new old clothes of the emperor on the bed frame, Lin Shu laughed secretly that he had collected a lot of gifts from the emperor.

He put away his clothes and drove to the imperial city.The carriage was dangling, and there were many small vendors shouting for business on the street.

"Fuquan, go buy a few steamed buns..."

When he reached the gate of the imperial city, Lin Shu took the food box and walked into the cabinet to check in.

"Bachelor, the villain has already found out. Huo Shizi has been staying in Chongnan Fang's private house for the past few days, and he even invited a doctor last night..."

As soon as he entered the value room, Feng Yuan hurried in to report his results from last night.

Lin Shu opened the food box, and pushed the buns he bought and side dishes prepared at home to Feng Yuan.

"Don't worry, eat something first. I know you clerks will come to clean up before dawn every day, and you don't have time for breakfast."

The food is simple, not big fish or meat, but it warms Feng Yuan's heart.

After Lin Shu came to the cabinet, when no outsiders were present, he treated them, who were called lowly officials, as equals, and even defended them many times.

The last time the old mother was seriously ill, it was Lin Shu who invited the imperial physician to treat her.People's hearts are fleshy. Feng Yuan is not a good person, but he knows how to repay kindness. This is one of the reasons why he is optimistic about Lin Shu's future.

"Thank you bachelor, the villain is indeed hungry!"

Feng Yuan bowed to express his thanks, without any ambiguity, he sat down and ate.

In the time it takes for a cup of tea, Feng Yuan cleared the table, made tea for Lin Shu and brought it over.Only then did I continue to report to Lin Shu: "The villain didn't ask my friend to help, it's not appropriate for others to know about it, so I asked the villain's son to investigate and took note of the doctor's prescription..."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. The handwriting was immature but neat.Lin Shu also read some medical books, and saw what this prescription was for.

"Baby protection? Is this pregnant?"

Feng Yuan nodded and replied: "According to the villain's inquiries, around April, Huo Shizi went to Shengtong pawn shop to pawn several rare treasures, which cost about 10,000 taels of silver. The money just for the redemption of Bai Mudan cost a lot of money." It cost more than 6000 taels... Oh, Bai Mudan is this oiran lady!"

more than 6000 taels?It's crazy!
Lin Shu's eyes were fixed on the pregnancy-prevention formula in front of him, hesitating a little.

Looking at this prescription, it should be used during the third or fourth month of pregnancy.If he uses Bai Mudan to plot against the Huo family, there is a high possibility of one dead body and two lives.

It was the Huo family who had enmity with him, not this oiran lady.Even if he wasn't maddened by the Madonna, letting innocent people die indirectly by his own hands would always make him hard to overcome.

Feng Yuan opened his mouth in some embarrassment, as if he wanted to say something.Lin Shu was upset, so he frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say, it's uncomfortable to look at me hesitantly."

"Well, bachelor, the fetus in Bai Mudan's womb is not necessarily Huo Shizi's!"

Lin Shu asked in surprise: "Oh? How could this happen? Huo Qiu is too lustful, he will never be willing to be a cheap father to others!"

Feng Yuan rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "This matter involves a person, a relative of a scholar's family..."

"Say it, it's okay. I was aroused by you."

"It's Uncle Zhen from Ningguo Mansion!"

Jia Zhen?

I only heard Feng Yuan say: "Yuntai Pavilion is actually managed by the elder brother of Prince Yizhong's concubine wife. The women inside are both talented and beautiful. It is one of the best places for fireworks in the capital. Most of the rich and powerful children in the capital like this tune. Uncle Jane is one of them..."

According to Feng Yuan, Jia Zhen is a frequent visitor of Yuntai Pavilion.Since the white peony appeared in the capital, Jia Zhen has become a benefactor of the white peony.

Originally, there were rumors that Uncle Zhen of Ningguo Mansion was going to redeem Bai Mudan, but suddenly one day, Uncle Zhen disappeared from the public's sight.

Then Huo Qiu, the eldest son of Nan'an Palace, spent 6000 taels of silver to redeem Bai Mudan, the oiran of Yuntai Pavilion.

"The villain had nothing to do yesterday afternoon, so he asked around. Except for a bastard son born to a servant girl, Huo Shizi has never had a son. It's not that he doesn't want to have one, it's probably because he can't..."

There was contempt in Feng Yuan's eyes, and he explained: "So Shizi Huo is 12 years old, he has been a prostitute, and he gave birth to a concubine before he married a wife...Scholar, think about it, Nan'an Palace has not had a child for several years, How could it be that this Huakui lady is pregnant with the Huo family's heir?"

Looking at Feng Yuan's eyes that a man can understand the meaning, Lin Shu really wanted to show his purity.Forget it, no one will believe this matter if it is told!
"Forget it, let me think about it first, and you should be careful, don't let people notice anything, stop for the next two days."

Since Jia Zhen was also involved in it, and it was the business of Prince Yizhong's residence, he had to think about it carefully, and it was best to communicate with the Jia family.

……

Yesterday's Longevity Ceremony, before the lively atmosphere passed, there was new gossip in the capital.

What people talk about most is that the Jinling Zhen family, the imperial concubine's natal family, took wild animals as auspicious signs and sent them to the capital pretending to be a unicorn thousands of miles away to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

The Zhen family's reputation was not very good in the first place, but now they are despised to the core.Even the loyal Wang Gao Yongyi, who was the nephew of the Zhen family, was implicated, and was reprimanded by the emperor, who was fined for one year and grounded for one month.

The second interesting thing is that Zhongshun Wang Gao Yonghuan, who once again showed the style of the No. 1 dandy in the capital, rushed into the Nan'an County Palace with his own soldiers and smashed the front yard of the Palace to pieces.

It is said that the incident was caused by Princess Huo of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, beating King Zhongshun's apex Princess Hui'an.In a rage, King Zhongshun vowed to seek justice for his daughter regardless of the apology made by King Nan'an.

When these stories reached the ears of Lin Shu, who was having lunch on duty at the cabinet, Lin Shu only found it both relieved and funny. It is estimated that the Huo County Lord would be so wronged that he would cry and faint in the corner.

……

Nan'an County King's Mansion, looking at the main hall that didn't even have a chair to stand on, Nan'an County King Huo An suppressed the anger in his heart with a gloomy face.

He felt that his status was noble, but he did not expect to be so humiliated today.Gao Yonghuan is the son of the emperor, the younger brother of the emperor, he can't afford to provoke him, and he doesn't want to.

But Huo An, who was the culprit of this incident, felt that if Lin Shu didn't hand over [-]% of the family property as an apology, it would be hard to get rid of his anger.

"Chang Wei!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Within two days, this king will see everything about the Lin family!"
