Red House Shoufu

Chapter 433
Gao Yongheng also understood Lin Shu's meaning. No matter how bad the reputation of the Confucian family is recently, they are descendants of Confucian sages. Wang Ziteng's behavior can be regarded as stabbing the lungs of scholars all over the world. Can they stop making trouble?
Coupled with the faint signs of party disputes in the court, this matter is afraid that it will cause huge disturbances in the court.

The various forces in Beijing will definitely take advantage of this to form cliques and try their best to strengthen their reputation among the world's elite.

Lin Shu left Beijing to take up a post at this time, not without the idea of ​​avoiding the turmoil in the capital.Wei Qinghe was already old, and his body was obviously not as strong as it was three years ago.Qi Bohan, the second assistant, and Qian Qianli, who are inspecting the Nine Sides, are the most popular candidates for the first assistant at the moment.

Within a year, if Lin Shu makes achievements in opening the sea, the prestige of Qian Qianli, who belongs to the leader of the reformist reformist today, will rise, and Qi Bohan, who will overwhelm the conservative faction, will take over the position of chief assistant of Wei Qinghe. Start the first major reform plan of Dachu.

This is also something that the emperor and Wei Qinghe have tacitly agreed to. If the reform is successful, Qian Qianli will become a bright figure of a generation, and the emperor will be a wise king through the ages.

If the reform fails, Qian Qianli will be Wang Anshi of Great Chu, bear all the infamy, and find a relatively stable path for the second reform prepared by the emperor.

In the final analysis, this world is not decided by one person, even if this person is the emperor sitting on the dragon chair!
"Hiss, from what you said, this matter really cannot be mixed."

Gao Yongheng thought that his political sense was not as good as that of a scholar who was full of eyes, so he immediately admitted that he was cowardly.

He and Lin Shu murmured, "Do you think Wang Ziteng will survive this time?"

"I hope he can survive. I'm afraid that this matter will involve civil and military struggles. The former Song Yinjian is not far away. If someone uses it to start a new round of civil and military struggles, it may not be possible that someone will send us to the Great Chu. Take this road."

Lin Shu's answer made Gao Yongheng take a deep breath again, he would never dare to let Da Chu become like the former Song Dynasty, otherwise his happy days would not exist.

At this moment, after the servant girl of the palace whispered a few words in Princess Cui's ear, she interrupted the discussion between the two of them: "Stop whispering, you two, the lunch has been set, let's go eat first. "

The luncheon at the palace was naturally extremely rich, and Gao Wanjiang, who had rushed back from Longshou Palace, obviously put all his thoughts on Daiyu.

Seeing his son's absent-minded appearance, Gao Yongheng deliberately drank Lin Shu a few more glasses of wine during the luncheon. Lin Shu also tasted the taste of the meeting, so he said after the lunch that he was dizzy and was taken away by the people of the palace. Room rest.

After Wang Yuan settled in Lin Shu, she went to the back hall to chat with Princess Cui and Princess Gao Yunwan.Gao Wanjiang got his wish and led Daiyu to visit the scenery of the palace.

To say that the scenery of the Zhongshun Palace is one of the best in the entire capital. The palace covers an area of ​​nearly one-third of an hour in Yongfang. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter do not fall. More than a dozen wintersweet blooms are in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is tangy.

Daiyu was wearing a red cloak today, standing beside the plum blossoms, stretched out her slender hand to put a flower on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, Gao Wanjiang was stunned.

He murmured to himself: "Thinking about what a jade face looks like, a branch of plum blossoms frozen in spring snow, covered with fragrant mist and morning glow."

The voice was not loud, but it reached Daiyu's ears along with the wind, only to hear that Daiyu was right: "Don't let people praise you for your beauty, just let the air fill the universe."

"Sister Lin is naturally pure and full of heaven and earth, but she is also full of tenderness and tenderness, and the purple fairy calyx is wrapped in Yaoying."

Gao Wanjiang called the maids and asked them to prepare the stove, tea and other things, and even brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and began to grind ink in the pavilion not far away, preparing to draw the scene just now.

Daiyu knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Seeing that Gao Wanjiang was in a good mood, she also snuggled up to the stove, made tea and sat with her, waiting for Gao Wanjiang's masterpiece.

"It's a pity that it's only the first month of the month. Except for these plum blossoms, everything in the courtyard is withered. Otherwise, sister Lin will be so ashamed that those flowers put away all their colors and pay homage to you, flower fairy."

Gao Wanjiang talked about love while splashing ink.

Daiyu accepted his praise generously, and smiled: "I don't dare to think about being ashamed of flowers in a closed moon, but I really like the scenery of flowers in full bloom."

Gao Wanjiang began to adorn the painted branches, and little red flowers bloomed.

"That's simple. In the spring, I will let the mansion grow some kinds of flowers, and you will come over in spring and summer."

"It's a pity that I will go to Jiangnan with my brother soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see it this year."

Daiyu's subsequent words made the pen in Gao Wanjiang's hand pause for a moment, and the red ink dripped on the paper, destroying the beauty of the scroll.

However, he seemed to have adjusted his mentality, picked up the pen and touched the ink drop slightly, and the ink drop opened and became petals falling on the ground.

I saw Gao Wanjiang began to draw a woman in a red cloak under the plum blossom tree. The ethereal appearance makes people mesmerized.

"It doesn't matter, just plant the flowers in the mansion every year. At worst, I will go south with Sister Lin. I heard that the Qionghua in Jinling is the most beautiful. I haven't seen it yet."

Daiyu smiled when she heard the words, seeing that Gao Wanjiang had put down the pen in her hand, she fixed her eyes and saw that the scene on the paper was the scene of her smelling the plum fragrance just now...

……

A storm in the capital city gradually brewed, and as the contestants from all over the country who went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Competition gathered in the capital, rumors spread that Prince Teng poisoned more than 100 people in Yanshenggong's mansion.

The news on the various tabloids was disorganized, and the news about the Kong family was the most discussed daily in the guild halls.

Perhaps because of the annual leave, the imperial court has never released any definite news, which caused the public opinion in the capital to gradually lose control.

The crusade against Prince Teng seems to have become politically correct. People all over the capital are clamoring for the imperial court to punish the nine clans of Prince Teng to comfort the hearts of officials all over the world, and to comfort the thousand-year-old inheritance of the holy way of the Shenggong Mansion.

Of course, many people also began to guide public opinion, criticizing Qian Qianli, a cabinet scholar who presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.If he is incompetent and mediocre, he has not come forward to speak for Yan Shenggong's mansion so far.

Similar rumors gradually surpassed the matter itself, and began to become a weapon to attack political opponents. Before the imperial court opened the seal, it had already made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty tremble, and did not dare to go one step further, for fear of being killed by these red-eyed officials. The child is thinking about it.

It is also interesting to say that as the most prestigious Lin Shu of the younger generation, he seems to have become an independent branch. No one has said a bad word about him, and even those who have joined forces in series, no one has come to the Lin Mansion to look for him. .

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lin Shu boarded the carriage and walked slowly to Liu Xianglian's house.

Although the Liu family had been down and out for a long time, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. After all, it was a branch of the Duke of Li's mansion. After the separation, the Liu family bought a house in Xianyifang not far from the west side of the Forbidden City.

Although the two-entry houses are not comparable to those high-ranking officials, most of the people living in Xianyifang are middle-level and middle-level officials. It can be seen that it is also a noble place, and most people don't even have the qualifications to come in.

It is not easy to live in the capital, Liu Xianglian now eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, and he has a lot of money to toss the two yards. After Lin Shu came in, he saw that Liu Xianglian was also an elegant person, even if he did not read books. There are many, but this garden is very elegantly decorated.

"What does my cousin think of this yard?"

"I think the third sister will definitely like it!"

Jia Lian and Lin Shu asked and answered, which made Liu Xianglian, who was a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it is the Rongguo Mansion or the Lin Mansion, they are all governed by princes.He might not be able to buy Wujin's mansion in his lifetime, no matter what Tanchun said, he was older than the mansion. Letting her marry into his small courtyard really wronged her.

Lin Shu patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Brother Bao has already told the third sister about your situation, what she wants is not a big mansion, but a warm home."

Jia Lian had already heard what Lin Shu meant, and it was really Linglong's idea to spy on this cousin in his heart, and he was really accurate in judging people.

Tanchun is the one with the most special situation among the several sisters in the family. The second sister, Yingchun, is also the only daughter of the dignified Marquis of Rongguo.

The fourth younger sister, Xichun, has connections in the two mansions, and is also the daughter-in-law of the Ningguo mansion. She will definitely marry a good person in the future, and as long as the person she marries is not insane, she will not dare to bully her.

Only the third younger sister, Tanchun, was one step short of her concubine, and she was not the daughter of the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and she was one step behind in status.

Fortunately, now that the second uncle, Jia Zhengguan, is from the third rank, Tanchun can be regarded as a rising tide, which is why Liu Xianglian has such a good marriage.

Jia Lian smiled and followed Lin Shu's words and said: "Your courtyard is exquisite and elegant, which suits the temperament of the third younger sister. She is a person who never leaves poetry and books. In the future, there will be a poetry meeting or something in this courtyard. suitable."

"By the way, Brother Liu, have you found someone to propose marriage for you?" Lin Shu changed the subject and asked.

I saw Liu Xianglian blushing and replied: "The two elder brothers also know about my family's situation. The elders above are not close, so they have the cheek to go to the Prince's Highness and beg His Highness..."

"Oh?"

Jia Lian and Lin Shu looked at each other and smiled. Liu Xianglian's ability to do this shows how much she attaches importance to this marriage.

I only heard Liu Xianglian continue to say: "His Royal Highness said that it is not suitable for him to go out of the palace, so he entrusted Prince Shaofu and Wen Shangshu from the Ministry of Households to help me go to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage!"

It turned out to be Wen Tongxuan, the old Pixiu!
Not to mention Jia Lian was surprised, even Lin Shu was also surprised.

The God of Wealth who can invite Dachu, Prince Gao Wancheng should attach great importance to Liu Xianglian's confidant.It seems that the Jia family made the right move. With Tanchun as a bridge, the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and East Palace will be closer.

It is estimated that Gao Wancheng also thought of this, so he asked Wen Tongxuan to come forward to ask for the daughter of Rongguo Mansion for his confidant general.

"Good, good, good!"

Jia Lian said hello three times, and said with great satisfaction: "With Mr. Wen coming forward, it doesn't matter whether people come to Liguo's mansion or not. Some people want to see your jokes, and they will fall down by then." The eyeballs of the earth. Hahahaha..."

Lin Shu nodded and did not speak. Jia Lian was right. Many people in the Duke of Li's residence were waiting to see Liu Xianglian's joke, thinking that no one in the Duke of Li's residence would show up. Where would Liu Xianglian find her elders to propose marriage?

It's fine for Li Guogong's mansion to come forward, but Liu Xianglian must come to the door to admit his mistakes, and admit that his behavior in front of Li Guogong's mansion that day was wrong.

But they would never have thought that Liu Xianglian would no longer regard herself as a member of the Duke's Mansion.The Liu family has no elders, so he asked the prince to come forward. With the prince Shaofu and Hubu Shangshu Wen Tongxuan as middle-aged elders, wouldn't it be better than a corrupt Liguo mansion?
When it came time to propose marriage, Duke Li's mansion was eagerly waiting for Liu Xianglian to come to confess his mistake, but unexpectedly Wen Tongxuan would appear in Rongguo Mansion to exchange tokens with Jia Zheng on behalf of Liu Xianglian...

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.

……

Most of the people Liu Xianglian invited were from the army, and Lin Shu didn't know many people.But none of these people didn't know Lin Shu, and they raised their glasses to greet Lin Shu.

Of course Jia Baoyu also came today, and he sat under Lin Shu, chatting with Lin Shu from time to time.He also asked Lin Shu when he would go to Jiangnan, muttering from time to time that it would be great if he could go together.

When the banquet was in full swing, suddenly the buzzing sound of the bowstring came to the ears of Fuquan who was guarding outside.

Hearing a swish, the long knife on Fuquan's waist flew out in an instant, and slashed in the direction of the sound.

People who have been on the battlefield for a long time all have the sound of sharp ears. The sound of drawing a bow, archery and drawing a knife to fend off the enemy has long been carved into their bones. Start preparing for battle.

"Xiang Lian really guessed it right. Sure enough, someone can't help but make a move today!"

Jia Lian held a long knife to protect Lin Shu and Jia Baoyu behind him, and the rest of them also protected the people who didn't know martial arts. After a few whispers, they began to divide and cooperate, planning to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Whoosh...

There was a sound of feathered arrows piercing the air, jingling and piercing on the wooden pillars, tables and chairs in the room, while the sword was waving, some feathered arrows were blocked by Liu Xianglian and others.

Fuquan flew to the highest point a long time ago, looked around, and unknowingly, there were more than 20 masked people around Liu's house who were shooting arrows with bows.

Fuquan smiled slightly, took out his whistle and blew it.As the whistle blew, a large number of people with swords poured out from all the courtyards of Xianyifang, and quickly surrounded Liu's house.

Whoosh...

Another burst of feather arrows attacked, but unfortunately this time it was these masked people who were attacked.There was a loud clicking sound, and the two gangs fought in a very short period of time.

After hearing the whistle outside, Lin Shu nodded to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian understood, and said to the people in the room: "Brothers, our troops have arrived, let's go, let's go together to see who is so bold and dares to be our enemy in the capital."

"Let's go, I have to go and see this, I haven't seen anyone who would dare to fight against us in the capital!"
