Red House Shoufu

Chapter 37 Concubine Feng
On Huanghuafang on the east side of the imperial city, on Xuezi Road, the middle door of the Lin Mansion is wide open.

Today when the head of the family came to Beijing, the maids and servants at the door were all bowing and waiting at the door.Seeing the arrival of the carriage with the logo of the Lin family, the group quickly shouted: "Welcome Patriarch back home!"

Because it was close to the Guozijian, several supervisors stopped curiously.I saw a young man in a Confucian robe stepping out of the carriage, with a jade crown and sword eyebrows, so handsome.

"Who is this? This seems to be Duke Zhongzheng's residence."

"I'm afraid it's someone from the Jiangnan Lin family. It doesn't mean that Mr. Zhongzheng has an heir, that is, his own nephew, who took over Nanzhili Xieyuan three years ago."

……

Although the supervisor's voice was low, Lin Shu got the general idea.He smiled at the heads of several people and performed a Confucian salute.

The gentle and elegant Lin Shu quickly gained the favor of the supervisors, and several of them saluted at the same time before leaving in a hurry.

Only then did Daiyu get out of the carriage with the support of Wang Momo, and walked towards the middle gate together with Lin Shu.

Seeing that two braziers had been prepared at the door, Lin Lu said, "Grandpa, girl, step over a brazier, and the future will be smooth, safe and healthy!"

Lin Shu and Daiyu strode over and walked into the house.

Before going to Tongzhou Wharf, Lin Lu had arranged for his servants to light the kang, and a brazier was set up in the house.

Mother Wang arranged for someone to unload the cast iron stove from the carriage and install it in Daiyu's room.

Lin Lu asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"

"The stove is used for heating. You can burn charcoal directly, so you don't have to worry about soot poisoning." Lin Shu pulled Daiyu to sit around the brazier and explained to Lin Lu.

Lin Lu looked at the stove being installed in the main hall, and clicked his tongue twice: "Good thing, the old slave will arrange people to build a few more, this winter will be much better."

The winter in Beijing is so cold that many people freeze to death every year.Lin Shu didn't even think about it, so he warned: "It doesn't cost much to install it for the servant's room. Although the kang is good, it will still freeze when you get up and get dressed. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if you contract typhoid fever. "

These days, a cold or fever might kill someone, and the Lin family can still afford a little charcoal money.

When the servants who were busy next to him heard Lin Shu's words, their faces were touched, and they all expressed their loyalty to Lin Shu.

"Work hard, since you are from my Lin family, I won't let you starve and freeze."

……

After everything was arranged properly, Nanny Wang took care of Daiyu to wash and change clothes, and Lin Shu also soaked in the barrel, closing his eyes and meditating.

Traveling all the way, finally arrived at the capital.In addition to the test in February next year, he has to prepare for the future.

"Crench!"

The door opened, and Fuquan walked in: "Master, the master of the Wang family has already made arrangements. My subordinates have just received the news from the second master Lian. On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, His Majesty decreed that the girl in the Rongguo Mansion in the palace should be granted a seal of honor." Concubine Xian!"

"Xian Concubine? Isn't Fengzao Palace Shangshu conferring the title of Xiande Concubine?" Lin Shu muttered to himself, and Fu Quan beside him was stunned.

"Master, it's Concubine Xian. The fourth concubine is a virtuous and virtuous concubine, how can she give two titles to the same person."

In the harem of Great Chu, the empress is the most respected, followed by the imperial concubine, the noble concubine, the virtuous and virtuous four concubines, and then the concubines, concubines and other nobles.

Lin Shu smiled, he was really stunned.Now that Jia Lian has entered the eyes of the emperor, Jia Yuanchun would have escaped the fate of the three springs and the early spring scene in the original book, and the fate of the tiger and the dream.

"Since that's the case, ask Nanny Zhang to take a look and prepare some congratulatory gifts, and bring them with you when you go to Rongguo Mansion in the future."

Fuquan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The old lady of the Rongguo Mansion insulted the uncle so much today, and the subordinates feel that we should not show her face. But there is a concubine, and even the eyes of the servants around them are turned to the sky. .”

Lin Shu laughed twice, and comforted him: "You don't understand, the gift I gave is for His Majesty, for those people outside. Concubine Xian is His Majesty's woman, no matter what her mother's family is, respect her Concubine, is to respect His Majesty."

Seeing that Fuquan was still indignant, Lin Shu drove him out impatiently: "If you still don't understand, go ask Uncle Lu, ask him what rumors and gossips are going on in the capital recently!"

After Fuquan went down, Lin Shu got up and dried himself.Putting on a brand new padded jacket Confucian robe, walked into the study.

With the help of the newly lit stove, he picked up a book of Shi Wen and read it, but his mind was still on Jia Yuanchun's concubine.

Today at the Tongzhou Wharf, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion dared to despise him so much, it must have been influenced by Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine.

It seems that the Jia family was stunned by the sudden drop of the emperor's grace, and the overwhelming wealth made them cock their tails again.As everyone knows, blessings are accompanied by misfortunes, and after the fire cooks the oil, it will often be wiped out.

The future of the Jia family is completely in the hands of the emperor.Now we can only see what Jia Lian and Jia Yuanchun do in order to save a limited number of people.

"Dong dong!"

"Master, Second Master Lian sent someone over to tell you something."

Lin Shu opened the door, only to see Xing'er standing beside Jia Lian at the door: "What's the matter?"

"Go back to Uncle Lin, the second master sent a letter to come over."

Xing'er handed the letter to Lin Shu: "Second Master said that everything in the mansion is fine, but Grandma Rong of the Dong Mansion is not in good health, and I'm afraid there will be some disturbances in the next few days."

Lin Shu frowned, Dongfu?Grandma Rong?
"Understood, you go back and tell your father that I will visit Rongguo Mansion early in the morning."

Xing'er took the order to retreat, and Lin Shu returned to the stove with the letter.

"Rong's daughter-in-law, Qin Shi, is the daughter of the old Prince Yizhong. She was raised in the home of Mr. Qin, the Minister of Construction and Repairs of the Ministry of Industry. The old lady who ruled virtue for five years once wanted to exchange her life for the wealth of Yuanchun in the palace. Because of me Because of the sudden favor, I had a discussion with Yuan Chun and told His Majesty before driving. Your Majesty is kind, and he didn't want his relatives to bleed, so he suppressed the matter. Who knows that someone is still doing it now. Qin's symptoms are very similar to those of his cousin at the beginning. Please ask Lin Biao My younger brother secretly sent doctors to save his life. I hope the Jia family is safe and secure!"

Jia Lian told all the secrets between him and Yuanchun. It turned out that this was the reason why the emperor named Jia Yuanchun one of the four concubines.

It seems that some people misunderstood the emperor's intentions, and thought that the emperor wanted to kill the grass and roots secretly, so that he gave the Jia family such wealth.

If the emperor knew what the Jia family was doing, no matter how hard Jia Lian tried, the nine clans would be wiped out.

Taking the blood of the royal family in exchange for the wealth of the Jia family, this kind of thing can only be imagined by those who are trapped in the inner house and love house fighting.

Lin Shu burned the letter and strolled towards Daiyu's small courtyard.To the west of the corridor, there is a yard planted with four seasons flowers and trees.

Wintersweet is in full bloom, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeates the air.Daiyu was already tightly wrapped and sat on the kang, playing Go with the snow geese.

Lin Shu quietly said to Nanny Wang: "Find out the prescription that Mr. Li gave Yu'er back then, and immediately send someone to Cousin Lian in the Rongguo Mansion. Remember, you must deliver it to Cousin Lian yourself."

"Master... Second Master Lian, why does Second Master Lian want this prescription?" Nanny Wang was really puzzled, and immediately suppressed her curiosity when she saw Lin Shu shaking her head.

"Yes, I will make arrangements for this old slave. I will let my son Wang Lun go, and I will definitely hand it over to Second Master Lian."
