Zhang Duo was picked up in the middle of the night, and looked at Brother Hongyun, who had always been polite and polite, with an ignorant expression, and lit the lights in the room to make him stand straight.

"From now on, he is not allowed to sleep, and when he is honest, let him sleep when he is honest." Hongyun told the people below to arrange their shifts and paced out by himself.

"Yes." The subordinates didn't dare to complain to the master when they got up in the middle of the night, but they didn't have so many scruples about Zhang Duo. There was a slight sign of crookedness, and the eyes narrowed, and a basin of cold water was poured over.

Jia Zheng was about to move, and Mrs. Wang's intention to bring back her daughter from the palace made him squint his eyes slightly.

"That's what my daughter said." He was still a little undecided.

"I can still make up nonsense to lie to you, my daughter said don't look at the emperor scolding the eighth elder brother ruthlessly, but the eighth elder brother has no relatives, and his conduct is virtuous, and the emperor scolded him to protect him. At present, the prince who is ranked number one is nothing more than ......" Madame Wang gestured with three numbers, three, four and eight.

"My daughter told me that as long as our family can contribute, the matter of the title in the future will definitely help us turn around. This is different from the previous Ninth Elder Brother's matchmaking, which was promised by the Eighth Elder Brother to his daughter. Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng with some excitement.

"But my view of the third elder brother is also excellent."

"The third elder brother is good, but his idea is to let the master win over the Lin family. If the Lin family responds, there is nothing to do with the master, but to make wedding clothes for others. But now that the Lin family has not responded, the third elder brother has not invited the master to the door for a long time. ”

Mrs. Wang's words hit Jia Zheng's mind, but he was willing to admit it, vague for a long time, and finally said: "My daughter has offended Prince Yong's mansion, as long as it is not him, the other two are good." ”

"That's it, it's good that the master understands. Prince Yong's temperament is yin, but the other two masters are completely different. Now that the prince Fujin has been punished and kneeled, let alone the title in the future, even his life may not be saved. ”

"What nonsense." Jia Zheng scolded Mrs. Wang, but lowered his head, and finally wrote his name on a joint letter.

Jia Min's post to Prince Yong Fujin has been echoed, Prince Fujin is unwell and can't meet guests during this time. Jia Min used this reason to send a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. Daiyu knew that the longer the ginseng aged, the more valuable it is, and the hundred-year-old ginseng can be used as a family heirloom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this three-hundred-year-old ginseng is the most valuable collection of the Lin family.

At that time, if it wasn't for chance, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing, and now if I want to find one, it's useless to have silver alone, and I have to pay attention to chance, which is something that can be met but not sought.

"No matter how valuable things are, no one is valuable, the gift I gave is heavy, Fu Jin knows that I am really afraid, in case there is a day, I will not anger you for yesterday's humiliation, this gift will be worth it." When Daiyu asked Jia Min, she replied like this.

This made Daiyu speechless for a while, leaning on Jia Min, who always felt that she was confused, and she couldn't see anything about her mother's family clearly. But think about herself again, she has feelings for her parents in this world, and she has feelings for her younger brother, and after a few years, can she ignore her mother's family?

"Mother......" called softly, and her voice choked even more.

The old ginseng was also sent early, and Fujin also sent his companion to thank him, and rewarded Daiyu with a flower, which can be regarded as inheriting Jia Min's heart.

Therefore, when the impeachment of Prince Yong jointly signed by Jia Zheng occurred, although Jia Min was panicked, he was still able to hold on.

Hongyun couldn't hold it back, what was the point of arranging it for so long, if it wasn't launched now.

But this matter couldn't be uncovered by himself, and after thinking about it, he leaked the news to the ears of the tenth elder brother. As soon as he got the letter, he jumped up with joy and immediately ran to his starling's house to report the good news.

"Isn't this drowsiness hitting the pillow? The fourth brother has a big deal to expect, and the third brother has such a handle again. Why don't we worry about big things, it's like God's help. ”

"How did this news come about?" The eighth master is not as optimistic as him.

"Starling, rest assured, this news is absolutely reliable. My grandmother's brother's daughter-in-law, when she was in her mother's house, had a very good relationship with a little girl next door, this little girl, illiterate, still a mute, originally could not be an errand. As a result, he was asked to go, saying that he was serving a doorman in the third brother's mansion who didn't like to talk to his subordinates. As a result, this mute watched this doorman practice calligraphy every day in the house, she was illiterate and could not read, but this mute man's hands were very skillful, and her embroidery work was first-class. ”

"So you're going to tell the story of this mute man's life." The eighth elder brother looked at the tenth brother funny.

"Starling brother, listen to me, this dumb man went to my brother's house to give a salute to his daughter-in-law, and I happened to see my brother come back from outside, holding a freshly framed painting given by the emperor. Coincidentally, when the dumb man saw it, he gestured to his daughter-in-law, saying that she had seen this word. His daughter-in-law hadn't taken it seriously, but my brother heard it and quickly stopped her. Suing her was not trivial, it was both frightening and threatening, so she used the method of drawing patterns to describe the words she saw. ”

"Starling, you know what this word is." Ten elder brothers made a mystery.

"You said it as soon as you came, and you asked me now." Eighth Brother really doesn't know what to say about him.

"Hey, really, why is my mouth so fast. I knew that I should stay here for a while, and let the starling guess carefully. After speaking, he was very proud, "Starling, you said this, as long as you report it, he will be finished." He deserved to be informed, and now there is retribution. ”

"Ahem." The eighth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother, "Be cautious." ”

"Yes." Brother Ten was only honest for a blink of an eye, and then asked after him: "Brother Starling, do you want to poke out this matter?" ”

"Let me think about it, don't startle the snake over there." Eighth Elder Brother still thinks that things will not be so coincidental, and besides, if there are so many enemies at once, he may not be able to parry them.

It's better to solve the fourth child first, the third person, he has never looked at it in his eyes.

"Isn't there any movement?" Hongyun paced impatiently.

"Yes, my subordinates believe it 10% when they see the tenth elder brother, but the eighth elder brother does not believe it. It stands to reason that there are no flaws in this game at all. ”

"Maybe it's not a flaw, Uncle Eight doesn't want to share his energy at this time." Hongyun forced himself to calm down and began to calculate, just as he had calculated the merchants. Whether it is a businessman or a politician, everyone sacrifices their lives for the sake of profit, and the difference is only that the interests of them are different things. In essence, whether it is human nature or human heart, it is all the same.

"If that's the case, it's better to let the subordinates arrange it." The people below can also buy one or two imperial histories to come forward, ensuring that people can't find out who is behind them.

"Master, Zhang Duo has made a move." There was a tremor in his voice, and for three whole days, Zhang Duo's will finally collapsed, he didn't collapse, and these guards who could work in shifts were about to collapse. Seeing him spitting, I couldn't wait to bow a tear for myself.

"I'll talk about him later." Hongyun waved his hand.

Prince Yong's mansion was cloudy, and Lin Ruhai's study sat his most trusted staff, who also had a sad face.

"In fact, everything is clear, but I don't know what the emperor's attitude is." The staff saw very clearly that the so-called impeachment was not a big deal at all, and it was nothing more than the matter when the household department was in charge of the silver debt. But this kind of thing, of course, has the emperor's protection, if the emperor doesn't believe you, there will be something.

"Grinding ink, I'll write an excerpt." Lin Ruhai thought about it again and again, wrote a letter asking for guilt, and asked the staff to send it to Prince Yong's mansion, "I handed it over to the prince with my own hands, and said that it was inconvenient to come to the door at this time, which attracted attention." ”

This letter of self-defense was written in the tone of Prince Yong, and when Prince Yong saw it, he was very puzzled at first glance, but laughed when he read it.

"Go back and tell Lord Sù Lin, this letter is left by the king."

"Yes." The staff secretly used the back door to enter and exit through the back door, and returned to Lin's house to tell Lin Ruhai the news.

The next day's self-defense, Prince Yong used what Lin Ruhai wrote, and did not mention self-defense in half a sentence, but only bowed his head and confessed.

Originally, the eighth elder brother was in the family, and there should be a vicious fight, and the momentum was huge. Hearing Prince Yong's excerpt, they were all stunned. Immediately afterwards, there was great joy, and those who were more bold felt that it must be Prince Yong who knew that he had lost his favor and did not dare to touch his demeanor head-on. At this time, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, it will be when.

He immediately stood up and demanded that Prince Yong's title be taken away, and also demanded compensation to the person mentioned above, and let his family return to Jinling from the northwest.

Prince Yong bowed his head and arched his hand, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile. I silently recalled in my heart what Lin Ruhai's staff conveyed last night, "The emperor's temperament has changed greatly in the past two years, and he can no longer be measured by common sense, only the nature of father and son, no matter how it changes." ”

Can't it really change? He didn't give back hope, otherwise how could there be a heavenly family without a father and son. But Lin Ruhai has another meaning, and after careful experience, he understands that the emperor is already old, how can he be in a good mood when he sees his son in the prime of life. The more capable and powerful you are, the more he will feel old.

At this age, there is no longer a need to prove his ability to do things like the emperor. There is only one thing to do now, and that is to show weakness. Let the emperor see that his son will be bullied if he is not under his protection.

also stimulate him, let the emperor understand that if you don't protect this son, there will be another strong son who will tear him apart.

So he didn't say a word, with an expression of waiting for the emperor's fate. And the emperor didn't speak, and the people in the court felt more and more reasonable, and they spoke one after another, and they had the momentum of not giving up if Prince Yong was removed from the title of prince.

"That's enough, according to what you said, Yinzhen who investigated and dealt with according to the order is wrong, is it even more wrong for me to make the order, do you want to admit your mistake too, and then reshape the corrupt and bribery dog official to welcome you back."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but he was full of anger, and one sentence set the tone. The frightened speakers all shrank their necks like quails, and secretly complained in their hearts, how did the peak turn around, why did the turning lights not flash, and they turned directly.

"Son, panic." Prince Yong knelt on the ground, the corners of his eyes were moist, and a sense of guilt welled up in the emperor's heart. Such a good son, if he wasn't a great father, he would have been bullied to death.

After the next dynasty, the royal father and son had an intimate and friendly exchange, especially Prince Yong, who deeply analyzed the inner activities during this period and the admiration for the emperor.

The Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion was gloomy at this time, and the emperor's reprimand last time had already made him lose many supporters, and this time it was easy to gather a force again, and the result was this again.

This time, fewer and fewer people came, and the tenth elder brother slammed the table angrily, "These people are really not righteous." ”

"Righteousness, what is righteousness, there is only good in the eyes of those people."

"Starling, you don't get angry." When Brother Ten saw the white hair on the corner of his forehead, his eyes were stabbed, and he subconsciously tilted his head, unwilling to look.

"Gas, but what's the use of gas. In the end, no one is reliable, only their own brothers are reliable. The eighth elder brother spoke with melancholy, he has come to the present from the beginning of this road, but he didn't expect that there were only a few brothers left. Then why has he been camping for more than ten years?

"That's right, it's still your own brother who is reliable." Brother Ten didn't hear the sound outside the strings, and shook his head very proudly.

"The final blow, if it still doesn't work, that's my life." Eighth Elder Brother said very abruptly.

"Ahh Brother Ten didn't react for a while, and when he reacted, he shouted: "Okay, kill two birds with one stone, I know that Brother Starling always has a way." I don't like to hear this. It is our destiny to be born in the royal family, and we are all the sons of the emperor Amma, who is better than whom. is the second brother, his life is the most precious, what is the result? ”

"Old ten, you choose to draw a line with me now, if there is a case, maybe, there will be a good end. Otherwise, the future ...... They will never let me go. "Eighth elder brother can be said to be the only one who stands up clearly, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, he will never let him go and leave hidden dangers.

Brother Ten was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What is this talking about Brother Starling, looking down on people, isn't it, the future ...... I will recognize you. ”

Hongyun didn't expect that an evil wind would blow up and disappear faster, and before he could poke the matter out, the matter would subside. In this regard, he was quite frustrated, and ran to Amma to talk about his life feelings.

After knowing that it was his future father-in-law's idea to calm down this qiē, he immediately turned the wind around, "Son, there is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself." If you don't have a hair on your mouth, you still need to go through the experience, you still need to go through the experience. ”

The thirteenth elder brother kicked him hard, "Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't have a son like you, it's a shame." ”

When he saw Daiyu again, Hongyun was a little embarrassed, people haven't told you a few things since he was a child, but as a result, you haven't done it yet, what is it.

Daiyu doesn't think so, "It is up to people to act, and it is up to heaven to succeed, and many times, success or failure depends on the will of God." We only do what we have to do, and the rest is determined by God, how can we blame people. ”

"If I heard the providence before, I didn't think so, but this time I really believe it." Hongyun thought of what had happened recently, and sighed with emotion.

"This time?" Daiyu raised her eyes and looked over, a pair of eyes that were as rippling as water, like spring water in March, clear and warm.

"Actually, it's not this time, it's a long time ago, when you were a child, you were porcelain white and porcelain-white, like a small doll, but you were a stubborn girl. Later, something happened to Amma, and the people in the house didn't have a smile all day, and I was very scared. However, knowing that you are so good and always send me things, I feel that it is not so scary, and look, there are still people who remember me. Later, when your kite floated into my yard, I thought, you must have been sent by the gods in the sky, so that I could see you if I worked a little harder, and if I worked harder, maybe I could see you. ”

At that time, Daiyu's memory was blurred, and at first it seemed that it was because he was the son of the thirteenth elder brother, and she wanted to hug this golden thigh. Later, she only remembered that he was Hongyun, a friend of hers, a poor and hateful friend.

"You say, this is not providence, so what is. Therefore, the fact that we are together is providential. Hongyun nodded affirmatively, and when he saw Daiyu's eyes suddenly blurred with tears, he panicked all of a sudden.

"Did I say something wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, you sue me, I'll change it right away. ”

Daiyu covered her eyes and shook her head, seeing Hongyun's anxious appearance, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, "No, you didn't say anything wrong, I just thought that when you ignored me, I couldn't help but want to cry." At that time, she was really depressed, she knew that this qiē was temporary, but she was afraid that they would not know. She really wanted to comfort the sunny boy and tell him that he would pass it over. However, he didn't give himself a chance.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to defend for what happened at that time, on the one hand, I was worried about affecting others, and on the other hand, I didn't believe that anyone would not be afraid of my involvement. In short, never again, no matter what happens in the future, good, bad, embarrassing, I will not ignore you, let alone avoid you. Do you still want to believe me once? ”

"What you say, I will take it as true, and I will not doubt it. But I will not tolerate any betrayal, no betrayal of any kind, I just want to be a complete person, if not completely, I would rather not. Daiyu admits that her temperament is a little round and square, and it seems that anything can be discussed, but what she insists on in her heart is unwilling to make the slightest concession. In life, if she retreats and retreats, there is no bottom line, then what has she become. She always remembers that deep in her heart, there is a girl named Dai Yu, who always reminds her that she does not live only for Lin Daiyu.

"Let's pull the hook." Hongyun stretched out his fingers, hooked them with her fingers, and pressed his thumbs together, as if stamped with a stamp.

"I planted a magnolia in the yard, a swing frame, and a bush of gardenias and jasmine. In the evening, we sat on the swing rack and could smell the flowers, you say okay. ”

"Okay, you have to put a water tank, plant a lotus, and raise a few carp, and when you raise a big one, you can take it out and roast it and eat it."

"There is a pond at home, lotus flowers and carp, but if you like, we will raise them in the yard."

"If you have it at home, you don't want it, it's better to plant a honeysuckle, climb on the wall, and the flowers that bloom are extremely fragrant, and you can make tea and drink."

Hearing Daiyu say the word "home", Hongyunle almost fainted. Smoldered as he sat across from him and smirked, his entire body filled with great happiness.

Before leaving, if it wasn't for the reminder of the little guy, Hongyun almost forgot an important thing, carefully took out a box, and wrote very casually: "I know that you like to paint, the paint I make myself may not be as good as the one that sells outside, you see, if it is suitable, it will be used, and if it is not suitable, it will be thrown away." Anyway, it's not a valuable thing. ”

The little guy inhaled when he heard this, obediently, this is a lot of money to learn from a teacher, and the money he spent is enough to buy the best pigments for a lifetime. In the end, it's done, just do it, it may not be suitable, use it casually, and throw it away if it doesn't work. Suddenly, the expression of flesh pain on his face happened to make Xingguo see it, and he covered his mouth and laughed.

"If you don't have the right mouth, if you talk like this again, I'll ignore you and give you another chance." Daiyu deliberately scared him.

Sure enough, Hongyun had a bitter face, "I learned it for a long time, and I did it hard." ”

"I'll make sure I use it well." Daiyu looked at him with a box, her smiling eyes were like a bright moon, shining, like a firework in his head, extremely bright and beautiful, no one could match.

After getting the paint, there was almost no hesitation, and Daiyu painted a picture of flowers and full moon. The gouache fades to a light rose purple, Tingtingyu stands on the branches, and the flowers look up at the moonlight. There was a swing below, swaying, and there seemed to be two people still sitting. The moon stars are scarce, and the moonlight reflects the magnolia flowers, quietly blooming and beautiful.

When it was drying, Xingguo came in to clean up the table, and when she saw it, she exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." ”

"What I paint, you can't say it's beautiful, don't come to this set, there's no reward." Daiyu thought that when she was a child, when she first learned to paint, Xingguo praised her for her good painting, and she was very happy.

"The slave is just telling the truth, not for the sake of greedy money." Xingguo smiled and cleaned up the table, thinking about the days in her heart, and there were seventy-one days. Brother Hongyun is so good to Miss, it should be, it will be very good.

But in the end, this painting was put away by Daiyu, and she bit the pen and drew another one. The theme of this hat is still a full moon, but the composition has changed.

A crooked branch hooked out from the outside of the window lattice, and at the top opened a water-pink magnolia flower, only one, angry and open, extremely delicate. The moonlight is thick, and all the scenery under the moonlight is covered with a layer of faint raw edges, which makes people look at it and feel unprovoked peace.

The corners of her lips hooked a faint smile, and Daiyu said to the painting: "It's you." ”
