Lin Qingyun didn't pay attention to He Yuefu's slander, and within a few days, these rumors faded, which made the families alienate from her. He Yuefu's personality is not ignorant of everything, and Lin Qingyun also has good sisters to help her, or there are people who are afraid of the pure prince's mansion, who is willing to associate with people like He Yuefu who are not clear.

Seeing this, He Yuefu was annoyed and could only stop for the time being.

In the midst of filial piety, there was no banquet and entertainment, but it was very quiet, and Lin Qingjun completed the previously unfinished oil painting and presented it to the empress on Chinese New Year's Eve. The emperor liked it very much, admired it, rewarded it richly, and gave this painting to the queen and hung it in the Fengyi Palace.

In addition to the Qi family's own tea and other things, the rest are the official kiln porcelain and official brocade provided by the emperor, mainly for the high-level trade in Europe, accompanied by the emperor's people, mainly to inquire about the current situation and news in Europe. The ship of the Qi family left the port from Quanzhou with Lawrence's merchant ship, and there was news back a few days ago.

The third day of August is Jia's mother's birthday, although she does not feast in filial piety, but her own family is to get together. Lin Qingyun had approved the birthday gift earlier, and he had sent it over the day before. There is another month to be filial piety, and in September, many people who are good at doing happy events, the Liguo Mansion hired the Jia family on the second day of October, and it is estimated that the marriage will be in February next year. Yingchun is two years older than Lin Qingyun, and will be eighteen next year.

Lin Qingyun received a number of posts, in addition to marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law, most of them were feasting and drinking and socializing such as enjoying flowers and listening to operas. She picked a few bad ones and replied to the post, including the daughter of the Zhongshun Palace, she had to add makeup, and the four girls of the Zhuang family, Xiaoding, the Grand Duke of Yongjia hosted a flower viewing banquet and so on.

At the end of August, the national filial piety ended, and the case of filial piety to the prince was finally settled. Xiaojing was deprived of his lordship and expelled from his nationality, and moved to Xiaoci County with his family to guard the mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang, and was not allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life. No one in the court objected, and they all praised the emperor for his benevolence and wisdom, and the court was cleared, and all of them, including the three county kings, hibernated.

On this day, when Tu Yan returned from the palace, he said to her, "It's time." ”

Lin Qingyun was slightly stunned: "The emperor is going to move the Zhen family?" ”

"My father has long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, and he has endured them for the past few years because of the emperor, how can he continue to tolerate them."

Hearing this, she took out the paper she had prepared and handed it to Tu Yan. Tu Yan took a look, spread another paper and grinded it, copied a new copy, and took cinnabar, she dipped it with her thumb, and pressed a red fingerprint on the paper. Tu Yan put away the paper and explained to her: "This case will be directly handed over to the emperor Dali Temple, Dali Temple will not dare to try it, and it will be sent to the emperor's imperial case. You have stayed in the house for the past few days and don't go out, the entertainment has been postponed, and it is best not to see the guests, and wait for Zhen's family affairs to talk about it. ”

"I know it all." Lin Qingyun responded.

As Tu Yan expected, when the matter was exposed, the entire capital exploded inside and outside.

-- Prince Chun sued the second son of the Zhen family for forcing his life, suing the Zhen family for relying on power to control the lawsuit, arson Haonu injured his father to death, and chased and killed him, forcing him to hide his identity and take refuge in his father's house.

Women can't show their heads, let alone sue them.

Lin Qingyun is already married, and her paper is represented by Tu Yan. Tu Yan personally handed the pleadings to Dali Temple, Dali Temple saw that it was the pure prince who sent the pleadings, the complainant was the pure prince and princess, and the person who sued was the Zhen family. The emperor was furious, and immediately sent the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss, and finally ordered the three divisions to be tried, and Zhen Yingjia and the second son of the Zhen family were escorted to Beijing. However, before the father and son of the Zhen family arrived in Beijing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached Zhen Yingjia one after another, and the charges were very great, and the emperor issued an order again, and all the men of the Zhen family were imprisoned.

As soon as the matter of the Zhen family happened, several families were implicated one after another, and it was all dealt with by the end of the year, and the verdict of the Zhen family also came out.

Zhen Yingjia gave Bai Aya, the second son of the Zhen family was sentenced to beheading, the Zhen family's offenders were either imprisoned or exiled, and the female relatives of the family were also charged with crimes, such as profit-making and lawsuits, etc., the Zhen family was sealed, and all the property in the house was confiscated to pay for the deficit, and the private treasury of several wives was also copied into the official, and the former prowess of the Jiangnan Zhen family disappeared.

In the current dynasty, the Zhen family always had a few good families, some people pleaded for mercy in the previous dynasty, and there were also Zhen Shun's concubines crying and begging in the harem. The emperor was unmoved, but on the pretext that the harem tried to interfere in politics, Zhen Shun was forbidden to go out in the palace and not to pass on news. Those who pleaded for mercy in the previous dynasty were all reprimanded, and some were demoted and dismissed, and the rest did not dare to speak again. As for King Chengjun, who married the daughter of the Zhen family, it was too late to hide at the moment, how dare he provoke the fire, and when he turned around and saw the Zhen family and the sick little son who was born before full term, he was extremely annoyed.

Zhen's fetus was conceived by Concubine Zhen Gui during her filial piety, and in order to win over the Zhen family, King Chengjun bought the imperial doctor to change the month, and the so-called October pregnancy and childbirth day was actually less than eight months. When the matter came to an end, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so Zhen had to take oxytocic drugs and give birth to a naturally weak son-in-law. King Chengjun didn't like this son, but for the sake of An Zhen's and the Zhen family's heart, he asked for the title of prince early in the morning, and the emperor delayed it for two months, which is a very rare situation.

Outsiders all say that this little son will not live long, including Concubine Qi Shu and King Chengjun, who think so, that partiality is the only hope of the Zhen family. Her mother's family fell, her status in the county king's mansion plummeted, not to mention that the two side concubines didn't take her in their eyes, even the favored concubines gave her a look, and Concubine Qi Shu's mother and son also completely changed their faces, and there was no intimacy anymore.

After the incident of the Zhen family, someone in the court suddenly impeached Lin Ruhai, including Lin Qingyun, saying that it was a big crime for the two to conceal their true origins and deceive the royal family. For a time, there were many people who followed the trend.

The emperor said in the court: "When Lin Shangshu recognized his righteous daughter, he once folded it to show the background of the pure prince and princess, and I knew that she was not of Lin Shangshu's same clan. Later, I married the pure prince, and Lin Shangshu once reported the princess's life experience, I and the queen love the princess very much, and her life is bumpy, I and the queen only have pity, how can they dislike it, let alone punish the crime. The princess is dignified and gentle, intelligent and agile, and the pure prince is a match made in heaven, since she married the pure prince, the pure prince is getting better and healthier, it can be seen that she is a blessed person, worthy of the royal daughter-in-law model. The theory of the life experience of the pure prince and princess does not need to be mentioned again! ”

Seeing that the emperor will talk about this, no one will be bored with self-inflicted hardships.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen sighed to Aunt Wenxin: "I thought that I would be able to round the house if I got out of filial piety, but there was something about the Zhen family." This time the Zhen family incident was the first to be sued by the princess, and it was inevitable that the tragedy of the princess's family would be discussed again, but it was not good to decorate the round house. After finishing this, the New Year is over, and I don't want to be in a hurry and wronged her, so I can only wait for the New Year to choose a good day. ”

Wenxin smiled and advised: "I've been waiting for three years, why should the queen care about these few days, and everything is messy and busy at the end of the year, even if I prepare a round house, I'm afraid it's not good." However, the weather in spring is warm, the season is just right, and everything is growing in spring, so I may be able to please a good fortune, so that the princess can get pregnant in one fell swoop. ”

The queen listened with affection: "I hope so." ”

But it was said that Lin Qingyun had never gone out to socialize, and one day Daiyu handed over the post, and the companions actually cherished spring. Lin Qingyun saw that their voices were different from the past, and she wondered in her heart, so she retreated from the maid and asked.

Xichun's little face was cold: "I can't live in that house, I have nowhere to go, and my brother and sister-in-law are even more unbearable." It's better to twist your hair and be a sister-in-law, and pour it clean. ”

Lin Qingyun's heart jumped, and she immediately stopped her words: "What nonsense is a good little girl talking about." ”

Daiyu also said: "Fourth sister, don't say this, let people hear what they think." ”

Then Dai Yucai told Lin Qingyun the whole story, although the matter of copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden in the original book was a little late, it still happened, but this time it was called back, but Mrs. Wang picked up the embroidered spring sac and went to Mrs. Xing to complain. Wang Xifeng bore the brunt of the suspicion, but because he gave birth to Brother Kwai and had the heart to ease the relationship with Mrs. Xing, he didn't get anything too ugly, but he lost face after all.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have returned to Beijing since the end of the old year, and Jia Yu has been working up and down to get Jia Lian back.

In fact, this matter was made by Yan in vain, and Jia Lian was put into Honglu Temple, and he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from Wupin, specializing in foreign tributary trade and other matters. Tu Yan knew Jia Lian in the past, passed by Shunning last time, and contacted Jia Lian, and found that Jia Lian was indeed good at taking care of general affairs, clever and changeable, so he wanted to use it, but this time he just wanted to see Jia Lian in Honglu Temple to sharpen it.

Jia Lian is busy with official business, but there is less love and harmony than before.

The two rooms of the Jia family have been separated early, and they were all Mrs. Xing's housekeepers before, Jia Yu suspected Mrs. Xing of being stingy, but she had to see all the gifts on the New Year's Day, and she lost face because she was afraid. As soon as Jia Lian and his wife came back, Jia Yu immediately handed over the family affairs to Wang Xifeng to take care of, and he just teased Brother Kui, although Mrs. Xing was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to refute Jia Yu, and saw that Brother Kui'er Qiao Sister was really cute and pleasant, so she slowly put her mind on her grandson. Mrs. Xing is not completely confused, she knows that she is a stepfamily, and she has no children, and she is not close to Jia Lian and his wife, but her grandson is a relative of the next generation, and she raised one by herself, won't she be filial to herself in the future?

Wang Xifeng has a son who has everything to do, loves Jia Lian, is in harmony with his in-laws, and is also known as Zhengyanshun who is in charge of a large family's affairs, which is really proud. Who knew that at this time, it was his own aunt who came to dismantle the stage and sued her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, which made her lose face.

Thinking of the past, Wang Xifeng secretly hated Mrs. Wang.

The results of this review of the Grand View Garden and the original work have been very different, Yingchun was engaged early, so that Siqi was selected by his parents, and Yingchun would marry as a companion in the future. Although Qingwen was still being chased, but because of the early separation of the two rooms, Yuanchun had a miscarriage, Mrs. Wang's momentum was not as good as before, even if Qingwen was the girl who served Baoyu, but she was Jia's mother's person, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make decisions without permission, so she went back to Jia's mother first. When Jia's mother heard that she was inspecting the Grand View Garden, she was sick and asked Qingwen back directly, and returned it to Mama Lai. Qingwen was originally sent by Mama Lai to Mother Jia, but it was just that Mother Jia annoyed Mrs. Wang and deliberately slapped Mrs. Wang's face. In the end, Mother Jia likes Qingwen to be clever and dexterous, and specially instructed Mama Lai to find a good place for Qingwen and not to send it away. But the rest didn't care.

Xichun sneered: "Do you know what the third sister said? What the third sister said is good. If a big family like ours were killed from outside, they would not be able to kill for a while. This is what the ancients said, 'a hundred-legged insect dies without stiffness', and it must first commit suicide from home to destroy itself before it can be defeated. We were still talking about the Zhen family's raid a few days ago, but who knew that our own family had copied themselves first. ”

As soon as Xichun finished speaking, he stopped, for fear that Lin Qingyun would be sad because of the mention of the Zhen family.

Lin Qingyun said with a smile: "Why do you have to be like this, it was all a few years ago." The three girls saw it clearly, if it was a man, why couldn't they go out to make contributions, it would be a waste of their intelligence and intelligence. ”

"The third sister is naturally good, but if you want me to say, it's better not to be so good. It is she who is excellent and has a high spirit, but she is a concubine, where is the second wife willing to really plan for her, and I don't know which one to sell it to at a discount in the future. Xichun thought of himself from Tanchun, and couldn't help but be at a loss, and unconsciously muttered to himself: "I just said that it is good to be a monk, and Miaoyu said that I have no fate with Buddhism, and I must not accept me." She will not accept it, and in the future, I will go to find one family to run to, and I will not believe in other families and will not accept it. ”

Lin Qingyun said: "If you are a sister-in-law, you can't paint it." ”

Xichun smiled faintly: "Since I am so ruthless that I have entered the empty door, what else is there to be reluctant to?" Only by giving up a qiē external object can we get a self-clean. ”

"But the more you talk about it, the more crazy it gets. Sister, you persuade the fourth sister. Daiyu saw that Xichun really had this heart, and she didn't feel anxious.

"Good sister, you stay with me for two days, and I'll take you around." Lin Qingyun looked at Xichun's cold face, as if this was the fourth girl who was discouraged and finally became a nun in the center of the original book, not the little girl who used to joke in front of her. She has always been afraid of the idea of Xichun Sheng entering and leaving the empty door, and she knows where the trigger is, but she can't isolate it, so she can only dispel her thoughts first, and then find a way out for her.

If you know that the empty door is not empty, the empty door is not clean, and there is another way to retreat, Xichun is the daughter of the princess, and there are many sisters with you, how can you be willing to re-enter the empty door?

Xichun was reluctant to go back, so he nodded and said, "It's just disturbing the princess's tranquility." ”

"Where is that like that, just let me see if your paintings have grown." Lin Qingyun looked at Daiyu and asked the two, "Where are you from?" ”

Daiyu knew what she meant, and replied: "My grandmother has not been good in the past two days, I went to see it, and I saw that the fourth sister was talking about wanting to become a sister-in-law, and she got rid of the paintings around her." I went back to my grandmother and brought my four sisters to stay at home for two days. Only the fourth sister was scared when she heard the crazy words, so she had to come to her sister to enlighten her. ”

Xichun is the youngest of the three springs, four years younger than Lin Qingyun, and is just twelve this year. An Le is still one year older than Xichun, but the temperament of the two people is completely different.

Daiyu went back that day. Now it is the lunar month, and it is very busy for all families to prepare New Year's goods, arrange banquets, and arrange gifts for each family. The Lin family has no heroine, and Daiyu has always been the main cooker of family affairs, even if Daiyu has been very familiar with cooking for a few years, it is a tedious thing in the end, and it takes a lot of effort, so there is not much free time.

In order to dispel the idea of leaving home in the spring, Lin Qingyun arranged to go out to incense the next day, and for several days in a row, he visited more than a dozen nunnery halls of various sizes such as Shuiyue Nunnery, Jizo Nunnery, and Guanyin Hall. Everywhere she went, Lin Qingyun inquired in advance whose temple it was, or which one was enshrined here, what kind of livelihood the nuns in the nunnery were doing, etc., although some of the poor nunnery were indeed serious monks, but she didn't take Xichun to go, and specially selected those nunnery with bad reviews to visit one by one, and all kinds of filthy things made Xichun's face pale.

In order to completely dispel the idea of cherishing spring, Lin Qingyun also took a ruthless medicine.

In the next few days, Xichun really stopped coming home, and also put aside the scriptures in hand, looking preoccupied. At this time, Lin Qingyun took her to visit a few serious nunnery, and the masters in the nunnery made coarse tea and light rice, made friends along the street, got up early to work, and chanted at night, adhering to the rules and precepts, day after day, year after year, everyone seemed to come out of a draft.

Xichun has been shaken by the idea of becoming a monk, and when she sees such a scene, she feels afraid, after all, Xichun has not really come to a dead end.

On the car back to the city, Xichun sighed: "There is no quiet place in this world. ”

"How do you count quiet? In the world, where can you be truly quiet, unless you don't eat or drink, don't breathe in your mouth, and you won't live in this world again. Fourth sister, you just want to hide as the next step, since you are ruthless to become a monk, why don't you muster up the courage to fight for yourself? ”

"Marry? I don't know if I will be disliked in the future. Xichun also felt that the Jia family was decaying day by day, and it was not far from the mansion that would collapse. is engaged early and married, and then the daughter of the sinner, how can the husband's family have no mustard.

Having said that, Lin Qingjun could see that she had loosened.

On Laixi Chun is the daughter of Ning Guofu, it is indeed more difficult to do than Rong Guofu, Jia Zhen's father and son are really unbearable, and the filthy things they did are simply unspeakable, and the emperor will not be able to let it go in the future. Even if Xichun is innocent, since he was born in Nafu and enjoyed wealth, he naturally has to take responsibility.

Lin Qingyun really couldn't bear to see Xichun become a monk to avoid disaster, but she didn't have a good idea for a while, that is, she really said that she would marry, and it would take three or four years to get married.

A few days later, she sent away Xichun, which made her worry every day.

Tu Yan laughed at her when he learned about it: "You have liberated others, why did you trap yourself?" There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry at this time. ”

Lin Qingyun himself smiled: "I understand the truth, but it's always different when I put it on myself." Saying that, he remembered something, and said: "What the emperor said in the court before......"

Those words seemed to praise her, but in fact, through her, they spoke in vain. The emperor is telling everyone that Tu Yan's illness has gradually improved after getting married, which is equivalent to dragging Tu Yan into the eyes of everyone, and he is afraid that he will be ordered to participate in politics at the beginning of the year. Although this kind of thing was expected, when it really came, Lin Qingyun was a little surprised.

"We agreed earlier." Tu Yan looked her straight in the eye.

"Yes." Lin Qingyun laughed at herself and didn't mention it anymore.

As soon as the year was over, the emperor really ordered Tu Yan to enter the court to participate in politics, and when the princes and ministers were nervous, Tu Yan went to Honglu Temple to receive an errand. Honglu Temple is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, which is a department on the edge of power, and everyone is surprised and has different thoughts, but the three county kings are relieved in their hearts. At first, everyone stared at Tu Yan, wanting to see what he did. Tu Yan is the prince, just walking in Honglu Temple, playing the banner of learning, if you want to manage things, of course, you can manage everything, if you want to be idle, no one can pick thorns. Tu Yan went not diligently, he went for ten days in a month, and he didn't participate in any affairs by virtue of his identity, nor did he ask to see any old files from previous years, as if there was no such person to save zài. Everyone couldn't figure out his intentions, and they were afraid of the other party's status as a prince, so they acquiesced to Tu Yan's way of "saving zài".

In fact, of course, Tu Yan is not as leisurely as he seems, and he knows all the affairs of Honglu Temple.

Jia Lian stayed in Honglu Temple for a year, everything has been started, he is diligent and diligent every day, and he gets along well with his colleagues, and now he is a rare pragmatic and motivated child in the old Xungui family, I don't know how many people praise him in front of Jia Yu, Jia Yu didn't care at first, and gradually became proud. I also remembered that the second brother Jia Zheng had been working for more than ten years as a member of the Ministry of Labor of Wupin, if it weren't for the efforts of the palace lady and the prince, how could there be a good errand for the outside. In the end, it was his own son who was angry, and since then his face has gradually improved for Jia Lian, which made Jia Lian worry for a while.

At the end of the day, Jia Lian rode out of Honglu Temple, did not go home, but went around to a teahouse, ordered the little servant to wait outside, and went straight to the second floor and entered a private room.

"The lower official asks the prince for peace, and the prince is blessed with peace."

"Sit down." At this time, the people in the private room were in vain.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." This is not the first time Jia Lian has met Prince Chun in private, and he also knows that it was the other party's force to return to Beijing at the beginning, and Prince Chun is now a consul in Honglu Temple, how dare Jia Lian slack off. When Tu Yan asked him to come to the teahouse to meet, Jia Lian had already realized something, and he still came, what Tu Yan asked, what he answered, and nothing else was asked, which made Tu Yan very satisfied.

As everyone knows, every time Jia Lian came out of the teahouse, there was a layer of cold sweat on his back, and when he returned home, he hid in the study alone and was ecstatic for a long time. Jia Lian has more knowledge than before as an official, and he doesn't know the meaning of his move, but he feels that compared with the other three county kings, this imperial concubine has a better chance of winning. Who can pretend to be sick for almost twenty years? Even if it's not pretended, it's a fact that you're in good health now, and it proves that it's providence!

According to Jia Lian's thoughts, he voted for Prince Chun, and Prince Chun and Princess Chun have something to do with her family, once it happens in the future......

Therefore, Wang Xifeng found that Jia Lian's recent behavior was very strange, sometimes snickering in the middle of the night, sometimes waking up from nightmares, and sometimes muttering dreams. Jia Lian was aware, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only guess, and she couldn't catch the dirty after all.
