Red House Shoufu

Chapter 48 Shadow
Gao Yongheng listened to Daiyu's persuasion, and said cheerfully: "You are right, one-third of these papers are written by the governors from all over the country. It is really just a holy bow install."

Daiyu asked in puzzlement: "Since Your Majesty knows that these papers are just wasting your precious rest time, why do you have to personally review them?"

"If I don't reply with a few words, they won't be afraid to think that I have some dissatisfaction with them."

Hearing the emperor's answer, Daiyu felt aggrieved for the emperor.The current His Majesty, who is rumored to be mean and ungrateful, has even taken this into consideration. I really don't know what kind of monarch those people want.

"Your Majesty's virtue is saved by the common people, which is the well-being of all people, and my ministers admire it!"

Daiyu bowed respectfully: "Even so, I still feel that the Holy Son of Heaven will trust her if she is upright, but if she is not upright, I will ask you to be at ease every day. Your Majesty will laugh at my humble opinion? Your Majesty's holy body is healthy and prosperous, and life is prolonged!"

"If his body is upright, the Holy Son of Heaven will trust him. If his body is not upright, he will be at ease every day. This sentence is well said, but it is a pity that some people have lived for most of their lives and still cannot understand such a simple truth."

Gao Yongheng looked at Daiyu who was blessed and saluted with admiring eyes, and said to Madam Zhang: "Mother Zhang, take Rong Jia back to rest, and come to play in the palace again when it gets warmer in a few days."

"Old slave obeys!"

Daiyu also bid farewell to the emperor: "Your servant will resign!"

When Xia Shouzhong sent Daiyu and Zhang Nanny out of Qinzheng Hall and returned to the emperor, Gao Yongheng asked quietly: "Big companion, do you think Rong Jia doesn't look like Chun'an?"

"Your Majesty, Princess... Princess Rongjia does look like a princess!" Xia Shouzhong was taken aback for a moment, no wonder the emperor treated Princess Rongjia so kindly just now, it turned out that she saw the shadow of Princess Chun'an from Princess Rongjia.

Gao Yongheng waved his hand: "You go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick out eight maids, and four servants are sent to Lin's house. The majestic Rongjia County Lord has few palace servants. Wouldn't it make others look down on you?"

Xia Shouzhong led the order to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Gao Yongheng stared blankly at the papers full of cases, feeling emotional in his heart, and said to himself: "He is a smart child, who knows how to be in awe and be grateful!"

……

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Daiyu finally returned to the Lin family's carriage.Jia Amnesty saw that he was fine, so he just said a few gossips, and then he said goodbye to the siblings and left.

When she got home, Daiyu told Lin Shu in detail what happened during the interview, and Nanny Zhang also added a few words.

As for the gift from Zhongshun Wang Gao Yonghuan, Lin Shu felt that Jia Amnesty should be the reason.

As for the emperor's generous treatment of Daiyu, he was a little confused.If His Majesty hadn't been a king who doesn't like women, he would have planned to take his sister to sea.

Waiting for Daiyu to rest, Lin Shu and Madam Zhang came to the study.

"Mommy, is there any other reason for Yu'er's audience today, the grace of the saint is so great?"

Lin Shu asked bluntly. He felt that since Nanny Zhang planned to die in the Lin family, she would definitely tell him the answer to this matter.

Nanny Zhang replied: "Your Majesty treats you so favorably. One reason is that the horse bones are bought with thousands of dollars of gold to show to the courtiers. The other reason is because the county lord has similarities with Princess Chun'an."

Princess Chun'an?

Lin Shu didn't know much about royal affairs.In particular, Princess Chun'an, who was only known to be the only daughter of the emperor and the former empress, died of illness when she was 15 years old.

It is said that Princess Chun'an is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is deeply loved by the emperor.It's a pity that fate is unpredictable, and a cold wind caused the empress to lose her precious daughter.

In the first year of Zhide, the emperor named her Princess Chun'an and moved her to the imperial mausoleum in the hope of seeing her father and daughter again in the future.

Nanny Zhang explained to Lin Shu: "The county lord not only resembles Princess Chun'an in eyebrows and eyes, but also in temperament. Your Majesty may have seen the shadow of Princess Chun'an from the county lord..."

Lin Shu really didn't know how to deal with this matter, whether he was treated favorably by the emperor or because of his resemblance to the princess who died young, he really didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing.

He asked with a wry smile, "Mother, how do you think we should treat this matter?"

The "we" that Lin Shu said warmed Mammy Zhang's heart.This is taking her as one of your own.

She smiled: "You don't have to worry, you are similar to Princess Chun'an, and you can get rid of many unnecessary troubles for the county lord. The county lord is very good-looking, and I am afraid that someone who proposes marriage will be indispensable in the future. At the age of the uncle, even if he is only eight years old Dou, within four or five years, it is impossible to wear scarlet purple. With His Majesty's protection, those who plan to plot against the Lin family by proposing marriage will have to weigh it up."

In the capital city, it is easy for the royal family members, princes and nobles to inquire about the appearance of a boudoir woman.

Even if half of the property accumulated by the Lin family's five generations of princes was donated to the emperor, the rest would be enough for some people to envy.

Daiyu was summoned by the emperor today, and the well-informed people probably already know the general situation.

Whether it is the generous dowry prepared by the Lin family for Daiyu, or the title of county head, there will definitely be people with ulterior motives.

Even if Lin Shu won the championship in one fell swoop this year, he was only compiled by the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and it would be at least ten years away from the third-rank official.

If you want Daiyu to be safe and successful, you really have to rely on the kindness of the emperor.As for becoming someone else's shadow, Lin Shu can only thank Princess Chun'an who has passed away.

……

There are no secrets in the Forbidden City. The daughter of Lin Ruhai, the former Yangzhou salt censor Lin Ruhai, the county head of Rongjia was summoned by the emperor, and after the summoning, she continued to be honored.

Firstly, the imperial snacks and fruit were given, and within two days, the maids and servants were given, and even the personal guards were sent over.

With the emperor's special treatment, those concubines in the harem, no matter what they think behind their backs, have sent a lot of rewards to the Lin family one by one.

Looking at these rewards, Lin Shu and Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry.

Nanny Zhang arranged for the eight maids to collect them according to their categories, and then walked to Lin Shu with the account books.

"Master, this old slave has already registered. According to the gift given, the matter of returning the gift is up to the county lord and the uncle to decide."

Daiyu took the account book, looked it over briefly, and handed the account book to Lin Shu: "Brother, according to the etiquette system, we can't directly return gifts to the nobles in the palace, so we might as well use the names of the nobles to convert them into money. How about sending it to a nursing home?"

Nursing home, a place set up by Da Chu to adopt orphans.Generally, it relies on imperial appropriation, but donations are also accepted.

Daiyu's method is good, it not only repays the favor of those nobles, but also won't lose their face.

Lin Shu nodded: "Since Yu'er has already made up her mind, let's do it according to your wishes."

Nanny Zhang also agreed with Daiyu's handling, the emperor's reward is a holy grace, just accept it with peace of mind.As for these harem nobles, it is better not to owe favors.

After the Lin family sent a large amount of food, clothing, and money to the Nursing Home in the name of nobles in the palace, Gao Yongheng who was sitting in the Palace of Qinzheng said to Xia Shouzhong, "Go and tell those in the harem not to disturb Rong Jia."

"My lord, my servants are bold. If you really do this, they will probably hate County Lord Rongjia."

Xia Shouzhong persuaded, the women in the harem didn't have any fuel-efficient lamps, if the Rongjia County Lord was targeted by these people, who knew what would happen.

　Thanks to Meng 666 for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and thanks to Wang Shuaishuai for the reward of 500 starting coins.
