Red Mansion Beijingwang

On the corridor, Shui Rong and Jia Yucun walked towards the mourning hall together. When they came to a corner, Shui Rong glanced at Jia Yucun who was walking behind him, and said warmly: "Jia Fu Yin, I heard that Xue Pan of the Xue family was beaten to death for a maid. You are the one who handled the case, but do you still have the impression?"

When Jia Yucun heard this, his face was stunned, and his deep eyes flickered. The lawsuit was related to the Xue family. Afterwards, he and Jia Zheng, who was the governor of the Beijing Camp at the time, Wang Ziteng, wrote, "The matter with your nephew is over, don't worry about it." How could Jia Yucun not be impressed by such letters.

But now the prince asks what is the reason for this lawsuit?
Logically speaking, as a parent official, it is wrong to bend the law for personal gain. Jia Yucun should not go into details, but the Jia and Xue families are in-laws. The prince should be biased towards the Xue family, and Xue Pan's uncle Wang Ziteng is now also a member of the Beijing Prince's Palace. People of the same lineage would not be downhearted because of this trivial matter.

The most important thing is that the lawsuit is already recorded in the documents, and the prince can find out if he wants to. Moreover, the prince has heard about it, so he must be clear in his heart.

Thinking of this, Jia Yucun made a decision in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, the lawsuit is decided by a lower official. I know clearly that the cause was that two families were competing to buy a maidservant. They refused to give in and even beat someone to death. The Xue family will pay compensation." It took a lot of money to burn and bury it.”

After saying that, Jia Yucun glanced at Shui Rong cautiously and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the subordinates of the Feng family have already taken care of the situation and convinced them, and it will not affect Young Master Xue."

The Xue family and the Jia family prosper and suffer together, and the Beijing Prince's Mansion has relatives from the Jia family who can help out. As the saying goes, relatives protect each other, Jia Yucun believes that the prince is concerned about the Xue family's affairs.

After all, you can't hide something, so just tell it frankly and show your attitude.

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously. He was aware of everything Xue Pan did and had no intention of settling the scores. He nodded without making a statement and asked instead, "That maid was abducted by a kidnapper. Have her relatives been traced?" ”

Jia Yucun's face was stunned, and some doubts arose in his heart. How could the prince care about a kidnapped maid?

Before he had time to think about it, Jia Yucun looked confused: "Your Majesty, the kidnappers who kidnapped and sold maidservants were a kind of single-handed kidnapper who kidnapped five or six-year-old children, raised them in a secluded place, and measured their appearance until they were eleven or twelve years old. , and then take her to another place for resale. The maid must not be from Jinling. The world is so vast, how can she find her? I hope you will forgive her."

In fact, Jia Yucun already knew the identity of the maid when she received the lawsuit. She was Zhen Shiyin's daughter Zhen Yinglian. However, she was worried about the power of the Xue family at the time, so she did not reveal it. Instead, she asked the Xue family to take Yinglian away. Preserve yourself.

But knowing is knowing. How can you speak clearly to others when the situation is unclear?

After saying that, Jia Yucun turned his eyes slightly and asked softly: "I don't know why the prince asked about this, but what is wrong with that maid?"

She is just a maid. Even if there is anything wrong, she will not be asked by the dignified prince. But Jia Yucun doesn't care about this. He just needs a wedge to understand Shui Rong's attitude.

Shui Rong glanced at Jia Yucun, sneered in his heart, pretended, kept pretending, Shui Rong didn't know that Jia Yucun was clear-minded, and with this embarrassed look on his face, if he didn't know the details, he would really be deceived.

Acting, like life, all relies on acting skills, especially in the officialdom. It is a taboo to be happy and happy. Obviously, Jia Yucun is a natural person in the officialdom.

Smiling, Shui Rong said: "The maid's name is Xiang Ling. She is currently serving me and she is very popular with me. She was abducted by kidnappers since she was a child. She does not remember what happened when she was a child. I promise to help her find her lost daughter." My relatives have no clue. I think Jia Fuyin is responsible for the lawsuit, so I want to ask Jia Fuyin to help me find it. "

When Jia Yucun heard this, he suddenly felt surprised. He was already wondering about the Xue family's affairs, so why did the prince still worry about it? He originally wanted to find Xiangling's lost relatives.

"Quite satisfactory", coupled with the prince's behavior in helping her find her lost relatives, it is obvious that she is very popular with the prince and is a first-rate concubine.

In ancient times, King You of Zhou used beacon fire to trick the princes in order to win over beauties, and today, the prince of Beijing County seeks a bride for a beautiful woman. They are all romantic affairs, but it is undeniable that Xiangling holds a very important place in the heart of the prince.

At this moment, Jia Yucun's expression was inexplicable, and his heart was very complicated. Since he wanted to cling to the Beijing Prince's Palace, find his lost relatives for Xiangling, and thus win the prince's favor, it was only natural that Zhen Shiyin could help him when he was down. He knew clearly that Xiangling was Zhen Shiyin's daughter, but still turned a blind eye. This move was truly ungrateful.

Only a fool will tell the world about his ungrateful behavior.

If you tell the truth clearly, you may lose your impression in front of the prince and be disadvantageous to yourself. However, if you don't tell the truth and you can't do the job, you may make the prince unhappy and ruin your future.

In short, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on one's own thoughts.

After thinking again and again, Jia Yucun straightened his expression and asked softly: "Your Majesty, is there a rouge mole the size of a rice grain in the center of Miss Xiangling's eyebrow?"

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and stared at the respectful Jia Yucun, a strange color flashed in his eyes. His original intention was to show his love for Xiangling and make Jia Yucun take the matter seriously, but he did not expect that Jia Yucun would take the initiative. When asked, judging by his attitude, he was planning to tell the truth frankly.

Moreover, Jia Yucun knew his attitude towards Xiang Ling. A dignified fourth-grade palace official actually called a maid to be a young lady. This ability to adapt to the wind was really displayed to the fullest.

Nodding, Shui Rong looked calm and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiang Ling does have a rouge mole the size of a rouge in the center of her eyebrows. I heard from Xiang Ling that she has had it since she was sensible. She probably brought it from the womb. Jia Mansion Yin can start searching from here."

Xiang Ling is naturally romantic, and the rouge mole between her eyebrows adds a bit of seductiveness to her, which is the finishing touch. Whenever Xiang Ling is served, Shui Rong can't help but touch her, which makes people love her so much. .

Jia Yucun knew it well and was not surprised. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiangling should be originally from Gusu. Her original name is Zhen Yinglian. She is the only daughter of Zhen Shiyin in the Zhen family. During the Lantern Festival when she was three years old, she was watching the sparkling lanterns in the community. He was abducted by a swindler due to improper care of his domestic slaves and has not yet been found.

After Xiaguan investigated the case, he learned that Miss Xiangling had a rouge mole on her eyebrow. He suspected that Miss Xiangling was Miss Zhen's family. However, the Xue family had already brought people to Beijing at that time, and Xianguan had no way to prove it, so he left it alone. "

Faced with this opportunity, Jia Yucun still chose to hold on tightly, but his words were very particular. While introducing Zhen Shiyin, it also showed that the matter had not yet been dialectical, and it was not that he was ungrateful.

Seven points true, three points false, this statement will not make people doubt it.

Shui Rong couldn't help but feel funny when he heard the words, and he also understood that Jia Yucun meant to remove him, but he didn't care, knowing that Zhen Shiyin was enough.

"Oh, where is this Zhen Shiyin?"

Shui Rong looked surprised and asked.

Jia Yucun looked a little sad when he heard this, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, brother Shi Yin is a good friend of Xiaguan. After losing his beloved daughter, there was a fire at home, and all the family property was burned up. In desperation, he just He was able to seek refuge with his father-in-law, but brother Shi Yin's father-in-law was a snobbery. After being looked down upon, brother Shi Yin saw through the world of mortals, and finally became a monk together under the guidance of two immortals.

Although the lower official has guessed that Miss Xiangling is the Miss Zhen family, the Zhen family is already poor and lonely. Even if Miss Xiangling is found, it will be difficult. The Xue family is rich. Miss Xiangling has been tortured by the abductor in the past few years. She must not suffer anymore. It would be a good thing if they could be gathered together, so I did not seek to verify it. "

Shui Rong was silent when he heard the words. Jia Yucun looked compassionate. Under the guise of thinking about Xiang Ling, in the final analysis, he still wanted to remove himself and downplay his ungrateful act.

However, Shui Rong didn't have a deep impression on Zhen Shiyin. After all, how could Shui Rong remember such a character so briefly? He didn't expect to become a monk.

If you think about it carefully, this is an elderly version of Jia Baoyu. When he encountered setbacks, he ran away from becoming a monk and took his name. He was really hiding something.

When Jia Yucun saw Shuirong being silent, he thought he was dissatisfied, so he added: "Your Majesty, although brother Shi Yin is a monk, he still has family members. His wife, Zhen Feng, is now seeking refuge with her parents' family. From time to time, she sends people to inquire. If the prince is interested in the whereabouts of the official's beloved daughter, I can ask someone to come. I think Mrs. Zhen will be happy to come."

Since Shui Rong promised Xiang Ling to find his biological parents for him, he naturally would not break his promise. Hearing Jia Yucun's suggestion, he thought about it for a moment and said in a clear voice: "I will go to Jinling soon, so please invite Zhen Feng to go to Jinling." As for Zhen Shiyin’s meeting, send someone to inform him, it’s up to him whether he comes or not.”

Although he is looking for Xiang Ling's parents, this is just a matter of course, and he will never delay his trip to Jinling for selfish reasons.

However, the parents who could give birth to Xiang Ling with such an appearance must be a person with good looks.

Jia Yucun heard the words and responded: "I respect your order."

As the words fell, Shui Rong and Jia Yucun also came to the mourning hall. Lin Zhang and Lin Rong were guarding the hall in mourning clothes. Seeing Shui Rong coming, they hurriedly handed incense and candles respectfully. After paying homage, the two of them Then he left the mourning hall.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if Mr. Lin's orphaned girl, Jade Girl, is in the Yamen. The lower official once made a living in Mr. Lin's residence. He served as Jade Girl's teacher for one year, which can be regarded as a teacher-student relationship."

Shui Rong was heartbroken when he heard this. Jia Yucun had indeed been Daiyu's teacher and was considered a serious elder. However, he did not intend for Jia Yucun and Daiyu to continue their teacher-student relationship, so he declined politely and said, "Yu'er suddenly met." My uncle passed away due to illness, and he was feeling uncontrollably sad. He was resting in the house, so it would be better not to disturb him. "Jia Yucun didn't think much about the pain of losing his father. He sighed quietly and said, "Young girl is also pitiful. In the early years, Mrs. He passed away from illness, and now Mr. Lin is alone with no one to rely on, and he doesn’t know how to survive in the future. "

Orphans, with no one to rely on, usually rely on others to live their lives. If they meet careless elders, it will be difficult to survive.

Shui Rong listened to Jia Yucun's "sincere" expression and didn't take it seriously. Jia Yucun was not someone who missed old friendships, so how could he care about Daiyu.

Moreover, when Daiyu came to Beijing, she was still escorted by Jia Yucun. How could she not know that the Duke of Rongguo would be Daiyu's support in the future, so it would be difficult for her to survive alone.

Come to think of it, Jia Yucun is firstly building a character, but trying to figure out the attitude of Shuixun.

However, Shui Rong didn't reveal it or hide it, and said with a smile: "I have already recognized Yu'er as my adopted sister. I will take care of her from now on, so Jia Fuyin doesn't have to worry."

As a sworn brother, Shui Rong has certain rights of custody, which is true. Besides, Shui Rong does pity Daiyu, an elf girl, and will never let her be bullied.

Jia Yucun's expression lit up when he heard this. He had realized that he was different from Shui Rong's condescension to lead the way. Unexpectedly, Daiyu actually became the adopted sister of Prince Beijing. Seeing that the prince took pity on Yu girl, this was incredible. .

Shui Rong guessed that Jia Yucun's idea was nothing more than building a closer relationship through the friendship between teachers and students. It has to be said that Jia Yucun's series of reactions were worthy of the original description of being good at observing the situation and seizing the opportunity to climb up.

After straightening his sleeves, Shui Rong said in a clear voice: "The disaster relief matters are urgent at the moment. Jia Fuyin should go back to Jinling to handle government affairs."

Jia Yucun was stunned when he heard this. He originally planned to meet his student later in order to recall the teacher-student friendship, but he never thought that the prince would actually see him off, which caught people off guard.

Since the prince was seeing off his guests, Jia Yucun had no choice but to comply. Moreover, he had previously promised to offer Mr. Lin a stick of incense, and now he did not want to wait any longer, so he responded respectfully: "Then I will go back to Jinling first, and I will wait for the prince to arrive." Come."

The prince will go to Jinling. At that time, it is the time for him to show his value. He will also take care of the things Xiangling is looking for. I think that this year, I will definitely be transferred to an important position in the imperial court. This is the road to success.

Shui Rong nodded, but didn't say anything. He stared at Jia Yucun's back and thought about it. Shui Rong was actually quite satisfied with Jia Yucun's performance.

In view of Jia Yucun's ruthless character, he thought he could be a good biting dog.

Now that the matter has been explained, Shui Rong, who was free, walked towards Daiyu's boudoir.

Stepping into Daiyu's boudoir, she saw Daiyu talking softly to Aunt Liu. After seeing Shui Rong, Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shui Rong with a pair of loving eyes. There was a bit of excitement in her voice and said: "Why is brother here?"

Seeing the girl's beautiful face, Shui Rong felt relieved and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm afraid that I'm going to complain about my brother. I'll come over to accompany my brother after I finish my work."

Daiyu was slightly happy when she heard this. However, she has always been a person who doesn't mean what she means. She didn't show her happiness. She just snorted and said angrily: "What my brother said makes me stingy. It’s really heartbreaking.”

Shui Rong chuckled lightly, not caring about Daiyu's eccentricity. After all, this was Sister Lin's characteristic. If she didn't squeeze someone, she would feel uncomfortable, and the closer she got, the more intense the squeeze would be.

Aunt Liu looked at the young man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, her eyes flickered uncertainly, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyebrows. She bowed and said: "I have met the prince."

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and glanced at Aunt Liu, nodded and said nothing.

When Aunt Liu saw this, she felt a little relieved. After all, the young man in front of her not only had a distinguished status, but also knew her secrets. Although she had received the young man's promise, her weak point was in his hands, and she was always in a state of uncertainty. , so I came to Daiyu to inquire about the situation.

Seeing Shui Rong's indifferent expression now, he felt a little relieved. As Lian Lang said, the young man in front of him was a very good-tempered person. It was also because of Dao Lian Lang's admiring look.

After bowing, Aunt Liu said softly: "I won't disturb the prince, so I will take my leave first."

After probing the prince's attitude again, Aunt Liu no longer wanted to stay. Staying with Shui Rong, her heart was always ups and downs, so she had better leave as soon as possible.

After Aunt Liu left, her Daiyu Liu eyes looked at the lonely figure, her eyebrows were furrowed as if in mist and rain, and she said with a gloomy look: "Auntie is also a pitiful person. Brother, why don't you give me more money and money?" She, let her have a way out."

She lost her father, and Aunt Liu lost her master. They are both pitiful people.

Shui Rong raised his brows when he heard this, and looked at Daiyu with a strange look in his eyes, "Good sister, you don't have to worry about Aunt Liu, she has already found a way out."

Jia Lian is lustful, but with his temperament, he will definitely not treat Aunt Liu badly, but how can I put it? Lin Ruhai has a moderate hat at the moment.

Daiyu was silent when she saw Shuirong, her clear eyes were filled with inexplicable colors, which somehow made people feel unhappy. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and her face showed a trace of anger, saying: "Brother, this is You think I'm being nosy."

Shui Rong was speechless when he heard the words. He was just silent for a moment. How could he let Dai Yu start doing it? It was really speechless. But for his sister, he couldn't say much. If it was a daughter, you can see that Shui Rong didn't give a whip. Take it and see if you are filial or not.

Tanchun, who was silent, pursed his lips and smiled when he saw this. He came closer and took Daiyu's arm, and said nicely: "Sister Lin, my brother-in-law treats you so well. How can I think you are nosy?"

As an "outsider", Tanchun is most aware of Shui Rong's doting on Daiyu. They are not sworn brothers and sworn sisters, they are almost like father and daughter. I wonder if my brother-in-law will treat his daughter better than Daiyu when he becomes a father. Jade also needs pampering.

Thinking of this, Tan Chun's jade cheeks warmed up slightly, and she began to think a little freely in her heart. Then she sighed, her brother-in-law took pity on her and did not break her body. He did not leave anything else behind. I don't know when. Only then can I give birth to a child for my brother-in-law.

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but regret it. She didn't know why. When she saw her brother-in-law's incomprehensible look, she felt an unreasonable anger in her heart. She must have been too sensitive.

Pursing her pink lips, Daiyu looked up at Shui Rong with her bright eyes like mist and rain, mist gradually rising in her eyes, and said softly: "Brother, I just feel that my aunt has no one to rely on in the future, and she is a bit pitiful."

When Shui Rong saw the girl's sad look, he understood in his heart that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad. Daiyu helped Aunt Liu to give herself peace of mind, so Shui Rong responded: "Since I feel I have wronged Aunt Liu, I will give it to Liu again." Auntie, a thousand taels, okay?"

When Daiyu heard this, the corners of her tender lips slightly pursed, she blinked her clear eyes, her nose twitched, and she said, "Listen to my brother."

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing. After sitting down, he took the teacup handed over by Tan Chun and said, "I'm going to Jinling in two days. Three girls, please pay more attention to me."

When she heard that Shui Rong was going to Jinling, Tanchun was reluctant to leave, but she also knew that Shui Rong had to do business, so naturally she would not be bored. She nodded and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will accompany you here." "

Shui Rong looked at the girl's cheerful face and smiled. He just liked Tanchun's skillful look. She looked like a strong woman and exuded a unique charm, especially in bed. Although she was shy, she would never do it. Coy.

Daiyu was also reluctant to give up, her loving eyes were like a pool of clear water watching the water dissolve, and she felt quite resentful in her heart.

Upon seeing this, Shui Rong understood clearly that Daiyu's sense of security was extremely low, and since she lost her father, she liked to be clingy, and her current reluctance was more of a feeling of panic.

Smiling, Shui Rong said softly: "Zi'er, I lost to you in the previous game, but I'm interested in trying another game."

Hearing this, Daiyu felt a little better, her eyebrows slightly raised, her fair face filled with confidence, she smiled lightly and said, "Since my brother-in-law is interested, my sister will definitely accompany me."

Looking at the girl's bright smile, Shui Rong couldn't help but smile. This is the proud sister Lin, exuding confident charm. (End of chapter)
