The living room of the Red Bean Pavilion is elegant and chic, and the plaque in the middle is handwritten by Qian Qianyi, a big man in Donglin, "If I smell it", and named this court "I Wentang".

After waiting for the next person to present the tea, Lin Yu took a sip and said slowly: "I have been ordered to enter the palace tonight, and I have been approved by Your Majesty, let me select ten palace maids from the palace tomorrow......"

"Huh?"

Qian Qianyi almost choked on tea, what kind of operation is this?

Lin Yu explained to Jiang Ruhua again: "I gave a treasure to Your Majesty, and I wanted to ask for some military pay to return to Yangzhou, but Your Majesty insisted on crowning me as the general Zhaoyong of the third grade, and I was afraid that I would not agree, so I decided to reward me with ten palace maids......"

"Hmm......"

Qian Qianyi didn't want to speak anymore.

Nima, a hairy boy who is less than twenty years old, has climbed from the deputy garrison of the sixth rank to the position of general Zhaoyong of the third rank in just a few days, which makes people unable to live?

The old man has lived for sixty years, and only now has he mixed with the three-grade waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and you have been on an equal footing with me in just a few days?

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi had mixed feelings in his heart, which was quite unpleasant.

"Of course, it is enough to have a lady to accompany me, husband, I will only bring out Miss Xiangjun and let her reunite with Hou Gongzi, and the other palace maids don't want to." Lin Yu took a sip of tea and quietly tested Jiang Ruxiang.

Jiang Ruhua smiled: "The husband's words are wrong, how can the concubine be a small-bellied chicken intestine?" Miss Xiangjun naturally wants to be rescued, and the other palace maids must also accept it. We will move out of my uncle's house in the future, and there is a shortage of maidservants in the house. If the husband has a woman he likes, he will take a concubine, and the concubine will have nothing to say. ”

Qian Qianyi praised: "Miss Jiang is really knowledgeable, General Lin married a virtuous helper!" ”

Liu Ru is hands folded and prayed for Li Xiangjun: "Great, Sister Xiangjun can finally reunite with Hou Gongzi, presumably she has been in the palace for half a year, right?" ”

Fang Yizhi, who was drinking tea with him in the next head, asked: "Ruan Dacheng's father and son are arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in their eyes, how did he be willing to release the Fang Yu brothers?" ”

"With the face of General Lin and the Shi Pavilion Department, how can Ruan Dacheng not weigh it?" Chen Zhenhui next to her took a sip of the tea bowl and guessed.

Lin Yu smiled: "Ruan Dacheng, this old dog, thinks he has one hand to cover the sky, where is he willing to let people go?" I used force to rescue people, and my entourage also accidentally killed Ruan Dacheng's son. ”

"Beat Ruan Dacheng's son to death?"

This news was a thunderbolt for Qian Qianyi, and he was both surprised and ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't expect the arrogant Ruan Dacheng to have this day. This Lin Zhenjiang is really amazing, could it be that you are the raptor who crossed the river?

Qian Qianyi is four or five years older than Ruan Dacheng, and his qualifications are much older than Ruan Dacheng. But in the tenth year of Chongzhen, because he offended Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, he was dismissed from the capital and expelled from the capital.

However, Qian Qianyi is a big landowner, his family has money and land, and he does not worry about eating and drinking after returning to his hometown in Jiangsu, writing poems every day, walking dogs and playing with birds, and later marrying Liu Rus, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, and living a happy life.

Just when Qian Qianyi thought that he could only die of old age and no longer have a career in office, the world suddenly changed, Li Zicheng led the Dashun army to conquer the Beijing Division, Chongzhen self-hanged coal mountain, the Ming Dynasty lost half of the rivers and mountains, and Zhu Youxiang ascended the throne in Nanjing to supervise the country.

After Zhu Youxiang became the emperor, he used a large number of veterans of the previous dynasty to prove his legitimacy and elevate his authority.

In Qian Qianyi's bones, he looked down on Ruan Dacheng, a hooligan literati who took both black and white, and this person only achieved the rank of official in the Chongzhen period, a seven-grade petty official who did not enter the stream, how could He De be alongside himself?

But Ruan Dacheng has been mixed in Nanjing for more than ten years, deep-rooted, and has a large number of minions under his command, and Qian Qianyi can't afford to offend, so he can only swallow his anger.

For Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi hated and feared him, hating him for being ruthless to the Donglin Party and slaughtering many of his own disciples; I am afraid that one day he will turn his face and deny people, and join forces with Ma Shiying to put himself in the point of ruin.

Therefore, Jiang Ruhua came to the house late at night to ask for help, Qian Qianyi was both happy and conflicted, happy that he had the hope of climbing the big tree of Shi Kefa, and the contradiction was that if he helped Lin Yu offended Ruan Dacheng again.

Just when Qian Qianyi was in a dilemma, he didn't expect Lin Yu to come to visit, and he didn't expect this guy to be promoted to another level, and he also killed Ruan Dacheng's son, this is ...... It's really terrifying, is Nanjing going to change the sky?

Lin Yu turned the tea bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Ruan Xiaocheng set up a private prison to imprison the innocent, and imprisoned my staff Hou Fangyu and brother-in-law Jiang Jibang in the water prison. In a fit of rage, the general rushed into Ruan's mansion, and Ruan Xiaocheng raised a firearm to assassinate his official, but was shot dead by my guard Li Wei and died on the spot. ”

"Ruan Dacheng only has this son, I'm afraid he won't give up." Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and fell into a deep groan.

Lin Yu sneered: "The laws of the Ming Dynasty are brilliant, and they will abide by the law, so why be afraid?" Ruan Dacheng committed evil deeds in Nanjing, bullied men and women, killed innocent soldiers indiscriminately, and forced Zuo Liangyu to rebel, and this kind of evil behavior would have been impeached against him sooner or later. ”

Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi were excited, and they all saluted: "I, the scholars of the Restoration Society, are willing to serve the general. ”

Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said: "General Lin, Ma and Ruan are powerful, now is not the time to tear your face, and the old man advises you to stay away for the time being." ”

"I naturally know this, when he has 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, I will come to clear the king's side!" Lin Yu did not shy away from showing his revenge to Qian Qianyi, striving to pull the Donglin Party over to support him.

Although the Donglin Party is to blame for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and even one of the culprits, Lin Yu is now just a single commander, with no money, no soldiers, no status, and he can't make too many waves just by relying on weapons, and it is not a stopgap measure if he can take advantage of the Donglin Party.

After another half an hour, the servant who went out to inquire came to report: "Master Qiqi, the villain went to Ruan's house to investigate, and their family was already preparing for a funeral, saying that Young Master Ruan died of a violent illness." ”

Qian Qianyi was surprised, he didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to be able to swallow this breath. After thinking about it, I guessed the reason for it seven or eight times out of ten.

"General Lin, although Ruan Dacheng has been holding back for the time being, he must be careful against this kind of villain who will be revenged, and beware of hidden arrows." Qian Qianyi took a sip of tea and reminded kindly.

Lin Yu got up and said: "It's not early, Lord Qian should rest early, and tomorrow I will drive the ironclad car into the Forbidden City to worship the saint!" ”

Qian Qianyi and his wife got up to send them off, passing by a pool, Lin Yu suddenly stopped and bent down and put his hand into the water: "This water is so cold, so cold!" ”

Qian Qianyi was a little inexplicable, reached in and tried it, and said in amazement: "It's the May season, this water ...... It's not cool, is it? General Mo Feilin's body is cold? “

Lin Yu suddenly scratched his scalp again: "Oops...... My scalp is itchy, itchy! ”

Although Qian Qianyi was surprised, he didn't ask more, and said with a smile: "General Lin just go back to the post house and take a bath." “

Bidding farewell to Qian Qianyi, Lin Yu took his wife Jiang Ruhua and the maidservant Xi'er back to the post house, and Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi returned home.

When I returned to the post house, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and in order to avoid the errand servant talking nonsense, Jiang Ruhua said: "The concubine will share the bed with her husband today, right?" But...... The period of filial piety has not yet arrived, and the husband must not exceed the courtesy. ”

Lin Yuwan smiled: "The lady can rest assured, but the husband is not a person who is in a hurry." ”

Jiang Ruhua still believes in Lin Yu's character, and has never taken himself lightly since his father passed away three years ago, and he is an absolute upright gentleman.

Xi'er made the bed and stepped back, and Lin Yu and his wife lay down in clothes and slept in the same bed.

With such a big beauty sleeping beside him, Lin Yu was really itching, but he didn't want to make Jiang Ruhua unhappy when he had an agreement just now, so he closed his eyes and counted the sheep silently, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was very bright.

Jiang Ruhua had already finished freshening up, and beckoned Lin Yu to get up: "Husband, hurry up and freshen up and eat, and you will have to enter the palace to face the saint later." ”

Lin Yu finished washing, ate some food, and hurriedly put on his official uniform and hurried out of the post house.

Xi'er was about to come over to clean up the bed for Lin Yu and his wife, but was stopped by Jiang Ruhua: "I'll just clean it up myself, you don't have to worry about it......"

"Why does Miss do this chores by herself, don't you dislike Xi'er and are not as smart as Sister Rabbit?" Xi'er looked aggrieved and almost cried.

Jiang Ruhua's face suddenly flushed, and she pushed Xi'er out of the room without saying anything: "You are still young, there are some things that should not be seen, ...... obediently"
