Lu Renxing and Xia Guihua were happy, but it didn't mean that this matter was over. Brother Hongxiang, who was the commander of the infantry army, never came out, and everyone watched this with their eyes open, but no one dared to say a word.

As soon as Brother Jiu closed the door, he circled himself in the house, and he didn't go anywhere, and no one came. The atmosphere is tense in vain, and there is quite a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings.

A month after the incident, there was finally a verdict, and the emperor summoned the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother to the court together, and looked at his two sons in front of the courtiers, his eyes were cold without a trace of temperature.

What happened in the court could not be hidden, and before noon, it had already spread all over the world. As soon as Daiyu and her mother finished eating together, drinking tea with a fine porcelain plum blossom cup, someone came over to learn the tongue.

"The cold housekeeper called the villain over, saying that the lady and the lady are all dignified, and they will definitely not inquire about these things. But everyone outside knows about it, and if the lady and the young lady don't know, and they hear it when they go out to sit down, they will inevitably complain that he is not well-informed as a housekeeper. ”

The little man, who looks like a child who is no more than twelve or thirteen, learns the tone of a cold butler, and is wonderful.

"I know, there must be something new, say it quickly and be happy." Jia Min also asked someone to wrap a bag of snacks for him to eat.

After receiving the snack, the little boy smiled and lost his teeth.

The emperor scolded Brother Jiu, saying that he was not doing his job, he only knew how to make friends with some bandits, and he lost all his royal face, so he asked him to take Hongxiang back, and he didn't come out if he had nothing to do. He scolded the eighth elder brother again, scolded him for not keeping his duty, and scolded him for being a Xinku, that, what kind of woman's son. ”

The boy didn't dare to say cheap words, so he stuck a screw in the middle.

Carefully took a sip of the tea poured for him by the maidservant girl in the house, and said, "The emperor said, isn't it just a prince's position?" He was no longer standing. ”

"Don't stand, what does it mean not to stand, how can anyone not set up a prince." Jia Min kept smiling, and his face changed when he heard this.

Xiao Tong touched his head, took a step back in some fear, and Daiyu beckoned to him, "I don't blame you, continue." ”

"The emperor said that he would seal the edict and put it behind the plaque of righteousness and light, and after Bintian, the adults he designated would come out together, and the person who was set up by the edict would ascend the throne."

After the boy finished speaking, he withdrew with a snack. Dai Yu said in her heart, although this Qing Dynasty is different from the Qing Dynasty that she knew from books in her previous life, the key places and turning points still seem to be the same. In this way, you can also seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Jia Min's face was strange, "How can the emperor think that one is one, what is this, how can anyone do this." ”

Hearing someone laugh "poof", as soon as she turned her head, her daughter Daiyu came over and hugged her arm, "The emperor is a rule-making person, not before, he did it, isn't it." ”

This news is lively for the layman, and the insider's mood is like drinking water, and he knows the warmth and coldness.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly went down and rushed to Prince Yong's mansion, and the people who were not common on weekdays were all together. It's just a pity that Prince Yong doesn't have many henchmen, and he doesn't fill a table when he is ready.

"How is this good?" The one who spoke first spoke out of everyone's minds.

The emperor's son, everyone is qualified, who doesn't want to fight, it's just the difference between open and secret contention. Now it's okay, a testament, how to fight. I don't know if I win or lose, when the emperor is in the sky, it means that everything is irretrievable, and I don't know, what's the use.

"There's a plan in the down, it's just ......" All the people present are Prince Yong's henchmen, and they are naturally free to speak, but Qiao's who should be taken still has to be taken.

"If you say it, you will listen to it, and you will not be guilty of it." Prince Yong spoke, his index finger beating his thigh like a nervous tone, showing the anxiety in his heart.

The person who mentioned yì coughed slightly, "Last time, didn't Lord Lin find a capable person who was good at imitating handwriting?" ”

Lin Ruhai's heart suddenly burst out, his mouth was half opened, and he was speechless for a while. Everyone thinks that the person who imitates is the doorman of his house, and he didn't particularly clarify, and now he really can't say it.

There is no need to explain this, and when the day comes, if you get your wish fulfilled, you will be happy, and if not, you will be able to take the false for the real one, and you will also ascend the throne.

"The edict cannot only be known to the emperor, several cabinet scholars, there are always one or two henchmen designated by the emperor who know about it." Lin Ruhai raised reasonable concerns.

"This kind of thing, don't be in a hurry, put it aside first, and make an alternative to the next choice." Prince Yong agreed with Lin Ruhai's statement, this method is too risky, and unless you can fully grasp the situation, it will be difficult not to make mistakes. If something goes wrong, a dozen of his brothers will be able to eat him raw.

"It must be safe, otherwise it will be a big mess in the world." Lin Ruhai added, which was very subtle, but it was also very useful.

The battle between the princes, if placed in other dynasties, small scale soldiers meet each other, and others wait for the winner to ascend the throne and pledge allegiance. But the Qing Dynasty was a foreigner, controlling so many Han people, once there was infighting, there would be people everywhere who would stand up and want to recover the Han people, and it was unknown that the country would fall apart.

Prince Yong nodded again, "There must be no mistakes, let's take a closer look, it doesn't mean that you have to make any regulations today." ”

Everyone sang in unison, and finally made a plan, this matter has just come out, and it is absolutely impossible to be this bird, inherit the past style, and continue to keep a low profile. But we must pay attention to the people around the emperor, and see if they look at them differently.

When Lin Ruhai went back, he was still a little worried, and after thinking about it, he asked her to bring her recent paintings by checking her daughter's calligraphy and paintings.

"Father, what are you worried about?" Daiyu came over, not only with paintings, but also with soup and snacks warm on the stove, and sent them at this time, the temperature was just right.

"Who knows what you can copy?" Lin Ruhai asked, there was no beginning and turning at all. He thought to himself, according to his daughter's temperament, even if someone knew, most of them were the maidservants of the family, as long as they hadn't said it outside, it would be easy to do.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the news she heard during the day, her face turned pale, and she immediately said: "Except for my father, no one knows, even the maidservants around me, they don't even know that I can carry a pen in my left hand." ”

When she practiced, she drove people out, and she came by herself to polish the ink, and burned it immediately after writing with her left hand. No matter how much her right hand asks her to write, she can't imitate someone else's handwriting.

Lin Ruhai breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, don't let anyone know about this matter, including Brother Hongyun." ”

Daiyu nodded, "Actually, my father doesn't have to worry, that ...... At least three languages should be used, and it is easy to find someone who can imitate Chinese characters, but it is extremely difficult to imitate Manmeng. ”

Her imitation is limited to Chinese characters, and other characters have really not been studied.

This time, Lin Ruhai was stunned, yes, he really cared about it, but he didn't expect this. Wait, did my daughter guess what she meant by this? His heart trembled, and he was in a hurry.

"No, no, what do you want, don't do it in the future." Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter with crooked lips, bright eyes, and snickering, and she really couldn't say a word.

"Yes, don't worry, father, what does the daughter know, and the daughter doesn't know anything." Looking at his father with a smile, he thought, you haven't seen this thing, I can see it. The museum in the previous life was directly put out, and you could see enough by spending money to buy a ticket. Prince Yong's succession to the throne is proper, and there is no need to have any doubts at all.

"What do you say about this girl?" Lin Ruhai was helpless, and sighed again, it would be nice if her daughter could be stupid.

After removing his thoughts, Lin Ruhai realized that he was hungry, drank a bowl of soup, ate two more snacks, chatted with his daughter for a while about calligraphy and painting, and urged her to go back to rest.

As a result, her daughter was silent for a long time, and she didn't say a complete sentence. Lin Ruhaiqi is strange, this daughter has always been bold, when has she ever been like this.

couldn't help but quip, "Is it about Brother Hongyun, let's hear about it." ”

"It's not related to him, yes, it's the second girl of the Wen family, the one who is very good." Daiyu has wanted to beg her father for a long time, but she has never found a suitable opportunity, and this opportunity is actually not very suitable, but she really doesn't want to wait.

"Why, you want to protect her for her." Lin Ruhai understood it, and couldn't help but be funny, first Shi Xiangyun, then Wen Ruyu, and the media was still addicted.

"Their family really has no choice, I heard Ruyan say that if it can't be settled again, his father may want her to go to other people's families as concubines."

"Impossible." Lin Ruhai thinks it's too outrageous, there is a good official daughter as a concubine, and it really laughs off people's big teeth when she says it. However, he quickly came back to his senses, "Maybe I made up my mind to give that brother a side blessing." ”

Wen Ruyan didn't say it so clearly, Daiyu felt justified when she heard it, and bit the corner of her lip, "So what, marrying into the royal family is not a concubine." ”

"The royal rules are really different, Fang Fujin can be on the royal jade plate, and he can also go out to socialize, in case Fujin has something, he can also be a housekeeper or receive guests, and he has a child by himself." Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart, in the end, he is a foreign race, the Han people have always been monogamous, what is a concubine, except for the emperor's backyard, the concubines of the prince's son and grandson are nothing in front of the main wife.

But who told people to sit firmly, the rules are like this, and no one is qualified to question them.

"But I think Ruyu should be unwilling." is remarkable, with a side word, it is not justified in the end.

"I'm a good fit, but my appearance and family background are not necessarily good." Lin Ruhai thought about it, he really looks good and has a good family background, and he has a family to worry about, so he can't intervene.

What he can say is basically the same as the person Shi Xiangyun married last time. The family background is average, hard to read, there is no background backstage, and you have to work hard in the officialdom. Otherwise, the family is okay and the official has donated to come in, but such people are often not very knowledgeable, but their temper is not small, and they are not a good match.

"Good conduct, affection and righteousness are better than anything else." Lin Daiyu thought that Wen Ruyu encountered such an unlucky thing and needed a man who was willing to love his wife. If you are stingy, and when you quarrel, you will talk about Wen Ruwan, wouldn't it be a headache.

"Hey, when you say that, there really is one. It's just that I seem to be older. Lin Ruhai was deeply impressed by this person, because although he came as a donor, and he was also idle in the household department, he was meticulous and came to be on duty every day.

Once, when he was overheard, his master was reading a note to him. He listened and talked about his thoughts on how to deal with it, although he knew that he didn't have any ink in his stomach when he heard it, but he was pragmatic and knew the people's livelihood economy very well. It is by no means floating on the water, listening to it in generalities, talking in generalities, and it is very constructive to get to the point.

But later, when he went to look through the handling opinions of the notes, he couldn't see what he said, and after thinking about it, he knew that a person who spent money to buy officials and idle people would inevitably be deeply excluded. It's no wonder that the boss will use what he handed in. It was precisely because of this that he inquired about this person, and he had the impression that he had no wife.

"How old are you, what is your name, whether your wife has died or you haven't married." As soon as Daiyu's eyes lit up, she knew that it was right to find her father for this kind of thing.

Seeing her daughter's eyes glowing, Lin Ruhai laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll ask tomorrow to find out." Go back quickly, and don't do anything like this again. ”

Silly daughter, leave this kind of thing to your mother, I knew to push it on your mother last time, why did I forget it this time.

The next day, when I talked about the three languages of Han, Mongolia and Manchu, everyone suddenly realized that the edict was not a holy decree issued on weekdays, but must be cautious and cautious. It also involves the thoughts of those Mongolian princes in his hometown, since the inheritance is determined, no one is allowed to question it, and it is almost inevitable to use three languages.

This idea was completely abandoned, but Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled with an unfathomable face, "We can't use it, it doesn't mean that others can't use it." ”

Prince Yong's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's right." ”

At present, there are only a few people competing, and the eighth elder brother seems to be abolished, and the eldest elder brother was imprisoned for plotting to kill the prince as early as when the prince was deposed. There is also a third elder brother, who has always been very low-key, but only the same kind can smell the same kind of smell.

Prince Yong knew what the third elder brother had in mind, and the eldest elder brother and the second elder brother above were like wasted people, so he became the eldest son. In addition, he is well-educated and modest, and he is very sought after by literati. Because of the incident of reporting the eldest brother, he was afraid that the emperor would suspect him of ignoring his brotherhood. So between the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, he has always maintained neutrality.

But after verification, there are several incidents in the middle, which were provoked by the third elder brother. He only moved his mouth, sat and watched his two younger brothers fight in the nest, and made a calculation of sitting and reaping the profits.

In addition, he has the most capable and learned literati under him, and this idea is simply tailor-made for him.

Daiyu waited for a few days, and finally got the news from her.

The person my father thinks is called Li Wei, who is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he had a marriage in his hometown, but his fiancée died of illness before he got married. He went to Jinling to donate an official, planning to find a wife room in Jinling. In the first few years, he was critical of others, and now it is someone else who finds fault with him, in short, he has not found the right one.

Daiyu's face was full of shock, Li Wei, it's Li Wei, Wen Ruyu's luck is really good.

She squeaked and said, "Will Li Wei look down on the second girl of the Wen family?" ”

Lin Ruhai's eyes widened, "He dares, my daughter is the matchmaker, who dares to disagree." After laughing at her, "The Wen family may not agree, Li Wei is not a good family business, and his father just thinks that he has a good character, and he acts righteously and squandering money." ”

"My daughter thinks it's very good, I'll go talk to Ruyan." Daiyu turned her head and went to Tian's house, this family business, Ruyu must not miss it.

Wen Ruyan's face was tired, and her voice was also hoarse, seeing Daiyu's eyes shrinking, this was a situation that they had never seen since they met. It's just that Daiyu was still energetic at this time, and she didn't notice her abnormality at all.

"What's the matter, it's, it's a quarrel." Her face and voice couldn't be hidden, so Daiyu hurriedly greeted her.

"No, it's not my mother's trouble." Grandma Wen San has already moved out of the old house with Master Wen San, and the scope of this mother's house is much smaller, I think it is because of Wen Ruyu.

"Okay, don't bother, I'll help you out." Daiyu shook her hand excitedly.

"Ah, what, what's solved, how was it solved." Wen Ruyan's face suddenly turned pale, and there was a look of panic in his eyes. Thinking of her father's plan, she simply didn't know how to face her friend at this time.

"How else can it be solved, find a suitable person for Ruyu to marry, and it will be solved." Daiyu knew that she had made her mother-in-law a little unhappy for her sister's affairs during this time, but she didn't mind if she was in a trance.

"You know, no, I mean you, you ......" was speechless for a while, and looked at Daiyu in a daze.

"Ruyan, what's wrong with you, I asked my father to find one for her, but it's okay or not, I still want you and Aunt Wen to be the masters. Are you too tired during this time, otherwise, rest first, and then talk about it later. Although Wen Ruyu's matter is in a hurry, Wen Ruyan's body is also very important, and Daiyu is very worried when she looks like this.

"Daiyu ......" Wen Ruyan suddenly began to cry, hugging Daiyu, resting her head on her shoulder, tears wetting her back.

"What the hell is going on? Your father won't really give her away as a concubine, but you're talking. "If that's the case, it's an anomaly that can be explained.

Wen Ruyan shook her head desperately, "No, no, I'm thanking you for my sister." ”

No matter who the other party is, as long as she escapes this catastrophe, she is her sister's benefactor.

At this moment, Wen Ruyu was sitting in her boudoir, and her tears had dried up. My sister came back from her mother-in-law's house to reason with her father, and her mother fell ill for her, but her father refused to let go. If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, why was he, who was so vicious.

Wen Ruyu's aunt sneaked in, with the scent of sandalwood in the Buddhist hall. A pair of hands touched the back of his daughter's hand, "Yu'er, what's wrong with the family affairs in this village, the master told me." Although the thirteenth master is not taken seriously, he is a brother anyway, and his eldest son will have a title in the future. This elder brother, isn't your sister also saying that he is very good and kind? Fang Fujin is not a concubine, she can go on the jade plate, much stronger than the wives of ordinary people? If it weren't for someone to carry you, your father's grade would not have been your turn. You see, what a good thing, it's like pie falling from the sky. Although your mother is good, she is separated by a layer of belly, and she does not necessarily want you to be more noble than her own daughter in the future. Otherwise, look at it, how enthusiastic you used to be about your family affairs, won't you also quarrel now? ”

After speaking, he looked at her hopefully, hoping that she could understand her father's hard work.

"Auntie, are you talking about human words, I don't say that my mother and sister are good to me, I only say that Brother Hongyun is the fiancé of the Lin family's sister, how do you tell me to deal with myself in the future." Wen Ruyu's voice was also hoarse, and the words she spoke had a thick nasal voice.

"Fool, it's better that way. The eldest lady of the Lin family has such a friendship with you, wouldn't it be more tolerant of you in the future. ”

"Is my aunt finished? If that's done, let's go back. Wen Ruyu fell into the bed tiredly and closed her eyes. All I thought about was my sister's words, don't be stupid and listen to my father, he is a man, where does he know a woman's mind.

Daiyu is affectionate, but she is by no means a soft-eared and unassertive. In the back house, it was all by means, and it was okay if I didn't know each other, if it was this kind of relationship, what did you tell her to think, are all the men dead, and you have to rob her. I'm here to sue you, if it were me, I would hate you to die. Even if it is a three-point method, it must also be used for ten points, not to mention you, even your sister and I will also become her enemies.

She has a family background, her parents who are dedicated to protecting her, her childhood sweetheart with Brother Hongyun, and her friendship with him Ama and Lord Lin. What do you have, what do you think you can do to fight her. Ask her to let her go, and I can sue you now, there is no way.

It turned out that there was still a trace of fantasy, which was also broken by my sister. She wasn't stupid and quickly discerned what her sister was talking about was the most likely scenario.

In a daze, she was woken up by her maid, and the maid helped her sit up excitedly, "Miss, the eldest lady is back, it seems, it seems to be good news......"

Wen Ruyu's hand tightly grasped the maid's wrist, and the maid was in pain, but she didn't dare to say a word, so she let her hold it.

"Help me clean my face and change my clothes, I'm going to see my sister." Wen Ruyu thought to herself, my sister must have come because of her, what kind of person can she find in a short time. No matter who it is, no matter who it is, it should be regarded as repaying her mother's kindness to her, she would rather marry casually, than let her mother have no face to see Mrs. Lin in the future, and her sister will not have the face to see Miss Lin in the future.

"I don't agree." Master Wen San was very annoyed, and it was easy to have such a thought, but it turned out that his wife objected, and his married daughter came back to oppose it.

"The lord disagrees, why doesn't the lord want to think about it, don't mention it sooner or later, why is the Lin family suddenly so enthusiastic, and now bring it up. Lin Dabao's matchmaker, if the master thinks it's not good, he will go back in person. "Forgive you for not having the guts, Grandma Wen San sighed in her heart, her eyes were cold.

Master Wen San shrank for a moment, muttered for a long time, couldn't hear what he said, and finally flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "I don't care." ”

Wen Ruyan on the side stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I don't look at Daiyu like I know." And from the time she mentioned it to Lord Lin to the time Lord Lin found the right one, it was impossible to do it in one or two days. ”

"Of course I know she doesn't, but your father, alas, ......"

Wen Ruyan understood that if he didn't use Lord Lin to scare his father, he would not give up.

Grandma Wen San covered her chest, thinking to herself, when she was young, she and Jia Min went to the temple to offer incense, and what people said, in short, it was not as good as her life. If you look at it now, you can see that these things are really completely unbelievable.

"My sister is here, and the family is making such a fuss, I guess you've heard about it. At this time, it doesn't matter if you can listen to it or not, it's better to listen to it yourself. Wen Ruyan pulled her sister to sit down.

Just looked at her and showed a miserable smile, "Sister, you don't have to say it, I will depend on you, I will marry." ”

"It's not that to this point, people at least have to inquire." Grandma Wen San really pitied her, she was sensible and obedient, she regarded herself as her mother, and she treated her as her daughter.

"No need, the more you drag my father's side, the harder it will be to explain." Wen Ruyu made up her mind, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, no matter what, it was always the love of mother and daughter.

"Ruyu, the person personally selected by Lord Lin, I think, must be not bad." Wen Ruyan was worried in her heart, she didn't marry a daughter-in-law at the age of thirty, and she didn't even have a fame, but her official body was still donated with silver.

If she didn't know Daiyu's character, she really wanted to doubt that Daiyu knew about it and took revenge on her.
