The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 34 The scenery is beautiful and it is spring again (please recommend for collection)

(Thanks to Xiaoxiao 777 and Jiutian Lanhu for their peace charms, okay?)
Before I knew it was another spring, the little girls in the Grand View Garden grew up like bamboo shoots, like peonies, roses, and peonies of various colors. Only people are more delicate than flowers, and no flowers are more beautiful than people.These sisters play and play together, and there are many happy days. Even the old lady likes to go to the garden for half a day, walk around the girls' rooms, and feel the vitality of the young ladies.

Unfortunately, there was a thin drizzle that day, so Mother Jia sent girls to pick them up one by one in the garden, and invited the girls and Baoyu to come to the main room for dinner. She asked someone to keep Baoyu's favorite fried quail seeds , and ordered a Qibao vegetarian porridge for her precious granddaughter Daiyu.

Several little girls came hand in hand, took off their rain gear and crowded beside Jiamu. Jiamu was overjoyed, she hugged one and let go of the other, and asked someone to quickly bring honey fruit tea to warm the stomach, and then asked : "Where's your treasure brother?"

Tan Chun hurriedly smiled: "Second brother went to see his aunt when he got up early, but my aunt said that it was too cold and because of the rain, so she left him to eat at home, and probably couldn't come."

When Jia Mu heard this, her face became a little ugly.Yuanyang hurriedly laughed and said: "It means that the second master Bao has no luck. The old lady got up early and asked someone to cook golden ham and round fish. The girl eats a few more bites, and I will heat up a pot of good wine. The old lady draws cards at night. Feel more lucky."

As soon as the words fell, she heard a charming smile, and Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in a bright red spring shirt, quickly stepped into the room: "Oh, Baoyu is not so lucky, but he has given me an advantage. I beg the old lady to take pity on me. At least give me a mouthful of warm food." drink the soup!"

Everyone laughed, and Mother Jia put away her displeasure, and laughed and scolded the visitor: "You have a dog's nose, and you rush when you see incense?"

Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu aggrievedly: "Sister Lin has to intercede for me, my sister-in-law took the errand and braved the heavy rain to deliver letters to you, if you can't even eat the hot one, you won't be wronged to death?"

Wang Xifeng shook the lavender letter paper in his hand, so happy that Daiyu stood up quickly: "Good sister-in-law, come and sit here."

Lin Daiyu pressed Wang Xifeng on the chair beside Jiamu, and snatched the envelope away.Everyone didn't care about this situation, since Miss Lin came back from Suzhou two years ago, she often chanted a person's name, Xing Xiuyan.At the beginning, everyone didn't know who Xing Xiuyan was, until the eldest lady suddenly remembered that her niece from her natal family had the same name, and everyone knew that Daiyu was in Suzhou thanks to the care of the Xing family.

Since then, the young ladies have often exchanged letters, and I don't know why there are so many things to say. Even Jia's mother was happy to ask: "It seems to make our girl Lin happy, what is written in this letter?"

Lin Daiyu was overjoyed, pinched the corner of the letter and leaned into Jiamu's arms with a smile: "Sister Xiuyan said in the letter that the adoptive father was appreciated by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for handling several important cases in Suzhou, and he was specially promoted to be the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." , I will bring my family and my mouth to Beijing to take up a job in a few days."

Mother Jia didn't take it seriously when she heard that she was just the head of the sixth grade, and smiled lightly: "It's a good thing, it's hard for my uncle and wife to stay in Suzhou for these years. Multiple places to visit, so as not to bother your Aunt Xue all the time."

Wang Xifeng smiled in embarrassment, knowing that the eldest wife's wishful thinking was in vain.

When she was about to come just now, Mrs. Xing heard from somewhere that the Xing family was going to Beijing, so she pulled Wang Xifeng to insist on making peace in front of the old lady, and also vacated a yard at home for Uncle Xing. live at home.Mrs. Xing is so greedy for petty gains, Wang Xifeng knew that her mother-in-law had long been upset that the second wife's sister had brought her whole family to Jia's house for a long time, and now seeing that her mother's family could also come to Beijing, she hurriedly asked Wang Xifeng to clean up this and that, asking for wind. Feng Guangguang invited his younger brother and younger siblings to Jia's house.

To say that in the entire Rongguo Mansion, there are two people who understand the old lady's heart best, one is the mandarin duck who serves behind the old lady, and the other is the second grandmother Wang Xifeng.Jia's mother has long been dissatisfied with the Xue family sticking to the Rongguo Mansion like a dog's skin plaster.

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she could only pick interesting and fresh topics to make Jia Mu laugh. After everyone ate the food, Jia Mu didn't allow Wang Xifeng to leave, but instead dragged her to play cards. Yuanyang and Li Wan had to join hands , Mrs. Xing, who was waiting for news at home, was in a hurry.

"Madam, don't be impatient. Others don't know what the Second Mistress is capable of. You are the one who knows best. If she really wants to intercede, the old lady will definitely stay with her uncle and master. Don't be afraid." Mrs. Xing's companion, Wang Baoshan, spoke. Damn, this old bastard is just like Mrs. Xing, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and greedy for money and power. He hates Wang Xifeng who holds the power in the slightest, so his words are not without the meaning of provocation.

Mrs. Xing's face turned cold as expected, and she snorted heavily: "She dares! I can't tell the difference between closeness and closeness. She is my daughter-in-law, and she does not face her uncle and aunt, but treats the concubine of the second room as her mother. "

"Don't be angry, madam. I can't blame the second grandma. It's not like you don't know. Before the Xue family came, the second wife sent someone to clean up the Lixiangyuan. She moved out to live in the house, but she got the news a long time ago that the Xue family was going to Beijing. Although the Pear Fragrance Court has been given to the little actors to live in, the second wife did not lose to the Xue family. I let them live in the courtyard, no worse than the ones in Pear Fragrance Garden. If you want me to say that my wife wants my uncle and his family to live in, it’s not enough to just go to the second grandmother’s place, and the second wife needs to go to the old lady’s place to intercede."

Mrs. Xing nodded slightly: "You reminded me, even if it didn't work out, I would go to the second child's house, thanks to her virtuous appearance in the past, if my uncle's house can't come in, I will be ashamed of the noisy Xue family Then go to Rongguo Mansion and stay for half a day."

Wang Baoshan's family secretly laughed, she was secretly delighted at her calculation.Obviously they are all wives' companions, but Zhou Rui's family is overwhelmed by everything. Wang Baoshan's family has long been ignored. If she can make her master embarrass, she will find a good excuse to ridicule Zhou Rui's family.

For a while, Jia's family had many twists and turns for the Xing family's entry into Beijing, but the masters thousands of miles away didn't know it at all.

Since Xing Zhong became the magistrate of Wu County, he has developed a strong interest in the study of criminal names.The matter of criminal names happened a long time ago, and there were two ancestors, one was the famous Shang Jun, and the other was Shen Buhai, who was famous for his "skills".Xing Zhong looked through the old cases and found that Bai Youshan had many long-standing flaws when he was in power, and he closed the case hastily without solving some doubts.

On the one hand, Xing Zhong made an open and secret investigation, and on the other hand, he asked the talented criminal master for advice. With the concerted efforts of the two, several old cases that had been going on for many years were finally brought to light.For a while, everyone in Suzhou knew that there was a Bao Qingtian in Wu County, who was dedicated to complaining to people.

Bai Youshan felt that his face was damaged, and he was secretly annoyed that Xing Zhong shouldn't bring up the old case he had handled for a new trial.However, Xing and Bai have close business contacts, and Bai friendly weighed the pros and cons, and did not embarrass Xing Zhong after all.

A year ago, the former Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was disarmed and returned to the land, so he chose Wu County as his place of residence. He heard about Xing Zhong's fame by chance, and became curious, so he brought two servants who turned into old squires and squeezed in at the gate of the yamen. How does Xing Zhong handle the case among the crowd.Old Shangshu didn't take Xing Zhong's way of greeting at first, but after listening to it a few times, after going home and thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense.

Afterwards, the two became close friends. Lao Shangshu spent half his life in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he had seen countless strange and injustice cases. Every time he solved a mystery, his heart was full of joy.It's a pity. The sons of Lao Shangshu don't like the study of criminal names, and they don't want their sons to inherit their father's career. They insist on going to the Imperial College to study and gain fame.The evil old Shangshu captured Xing Zhong and made him his confidant, wishing to tell Xing Zhong everything he had learned in his life.

Although Lao Shangshu never openly accepted disciples, he already regarded Xing Zhong as a closed disciple in his heart.This time the Ministry of Punishment's extraordinary promotion was also the result of Lao Shangshu's secret operation, hoping that he could carry forward his knowledge of criminal names.

This day was the eve of Xing Zhong's departure, and the old Shangshu was invited to be a guest at the Xing family's mansion. The elder, who was over sixty years old, patiently taught: "There are many talented people in the capital, and I have given my old bones to Shangshu's The location is just a chance for the new emperor to employ people. Now you have to go to the capital with your family first, and the old man has to give you a few more words. Nowadays, there are three forces in the criminal justice system in the world. The first to bear the brunt is Cheng Zimo, the emperor's newly appointed minister of punishment. People believe in the old law of the Shang monarch, to use punishment to eliminate punishment, and to kill to stop killing. It has always been advocated to use criminal law to eliminate criminal law, and to eliminate war with killing. At that time, the old man thought that this law was a reckless move. However, the new king needs Cheng Zimo to take the throne. This kind of talent, hey, I have no choice but to retreat a little more wisely. But first, don’t follow the trend and lose your true nature.”

Xing Zhong hurriedly cupped his hands and said yes, "I don't know what the second force is?"

"This second force has the same temperament as the old man. It is Xu Shiguang, the Minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Xu. This person adheres to the principle of 'If the skills are not exhausted, the power will not be strong. If the power is not solid, the law will not work. If the law does not work, the country will be in danger' Creed is the late emperor's confidant and important minister. Master Xu's elder sister is an old concubine in the palace, because of this, the new emperor has always been difficult to deal with him. You can use my name card to make friends with her."

Whenever there is a big case, it must go through the joint trial of the three divisions. The Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are indispensable. As soon as the new king takes office, he will control the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It seems that the Dali Temple will not last long.

"Sir, is there a third force?" Xing Zhong asked hurriedly when he didn't see Lao Shangshu mentioning the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The old Shangshu pondered for a long time before he said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is doing the job that people in the world fear the most, but it is also the job that everyone envies. It has never been fruitful to make the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stare at it. Today's Metropolitan Procuratorate and The old man was very different when he was young. They were all cruel and ruthless guys. One was younger than the other, but each was treacherous and cunning. There is no one in the world who doesn’t know the private affairs of the officials. I don’t like those young people. They don't know what is called the study of criminal names, they are just reckless people who use violence to control violence."
