The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

80 Strategies

The first and third Jinshi were awarded the official positions of "Hanlin Academy Xiuzhuan" and "Hanlin Academy Editing" as early as after the palace examination, but the second and third best Jinshi still had to pass the imperial examination again in the Palace of Preservation. , choose the best to enter the Hanlin Academy as Shu Jishi, and the rest are divided into various ministries as directors or go to other places as county magistrates and Sanzhou magistrates.

Jia Huan and Shi Mo got their wish and entered the Hanlin Academy as Shuji scholars. Shuji scholars last for three years. There are as many as 56 Shuji scholars in this discipline, which is the most in history. The successful Jinshi is among them, but it is not eye-catching.

Everyone was quietly discussing that the Holy Majesty might have made a big move. This practice of the Imperial Academy's concubine scholars was used as a reserve for court officials. This year, the Holy Majesty ordered so many. Why did he make a big move? Even Xiaojiu Yuan said so.For Xiaojiu Yuan, the two boys were admitted to Jinshi at a young age, which is really eye-catching. It is the best choice for the two of them to stay in the Imperial Academy for three years and hide behind others. Three years later, the emperor Those who tidied up were almost done. It was just when the court needed talents and the official position was vacant, and the two boys just happened to be in time-the emperor was bound to promote a group of young blood to fill the court. Shi Mo and Jia Huan, two young men The dried shrimp is sandwiched in it without any perforation.

"Uncle, is this prescription correct?" Shi Mo looked at the two pieces of silk, but he really didn't realize that it was a poison prescription.

Yuan Che held the two pieces of silk that were facing each other, his eyes were slightly red, and he said calmly: "This is the prescription." It ruined his old father's life and ruined his Yuan family.

Zhu Yong'an embraced his little uncle's slightly trembling arms, took the prescription out of his hand with one hand, patted the stiff junior with his big palm, and explained to his nephews distractedly: "The secret recipe handed down from the previous dynasty is all It is written with these kinds of riddles, and often one character represents several fixed characters, and there is a book of such riddles in the library in the palace, and the formula can be restored just by facing it."

Yuan Che said coldly: "The name of this place is Guiquan, which means to send back to the underworld. It is colorless and odorless. It only takes six hours to kill people. They are safe and sound. Three moments after death, it is difficult to find traces. It was very famous during the reign of Emperor Lizong. It was only when Renzong came to the throne in the previous dynasty that he felt its insidiousness and ordered people to destroy it. Then it gradually disappeared. Who would have thought that the old lady of the Jia family could find this poisonous prescription that had been lost for more than a hundred years in the palace. What? Who would have thought that the sudden death of my father and several uncles was caused by this poison? The poisonous historian thought she was perfect, but she underestimated my elder brother. He is good at reading, regardless of classics, history, astronomy and geography. He also reads books on medical divination and travel notes, which are unappealing in his eyes, and he suspected them after the death of his father and uncles, until he himself was also poisoned by this poison!"

Uncle Yuan's eyes were extremely cold, full of pain and resentment: "This poison is deceitful, and it only reacts with the most common ginger, and those who have been poisoned by this poison will have abdominal pain like colic, and the blood turns pink. The pain lasts for six hours." Die!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of stained cloth from his closet, and unfolded it with trembling hands. On the rag that seemed to be torn from his shirt, three large characters were written in blood: the two small ones are' The word "guiquan" has another big "injustice"!

Zhu Bin's pupils shrank. Even he didn't know about the cloth. No wonder Yizhi insisted that the poison was Guiquan. It turned out that Brother Yuan left him a letter before his death.

It's just that the blood characters are obviously much lighter, and it's actually pink when you look closely.Shi Mo and Jia Huan were shocked to the point of Mulen, and only heard the younger uncle say: "Since your grandfather and uncle passed away, your eldest uncle must eat ginger every meal, and he also carries a piece of ginger next to his body. I never paid attention to it when I was mourning. These are the things I only found out when your aunt tried every means to pass on this leftover book to me, and at that time your aunt had hanged herself with her husband."

Shi Moran, he had heard about this eldest aunt from his uncle when he was young. This eldest aunt was born in the clan, she was a daughter of a daughter of a princess, and was granted the royal title of the princess. The county prince's mansion took them back, but the eldest aunt pleaded for mercy in every possible way, and finally she only wanted to send the younger brother-in-law and aunt out of Beijing, but the situation was too chaotic and the county prince's mansion was powerless. The little uncle sent him out of the city.Later, when the eldest uncle died suddenly, the eldest aunt also went with a rope, and then his mother, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shihou Mansion, also died of blood after giving birth to him. Walk around the world.

Yuan Che's eyes were red as if they were about to bleed. Zhu Bin didn't dare to look, for fear of seeing hatred in those eyes that he loved the most in his life, but he refused to let go of his hand. Hold the man's hand.This seemed to be the reappearance of Zhu Bin's most feared dream. He was deeply afraid that just like in the dream, Yuan Che would turn his eyes against him in the next moment, making him unable to ask for more...

What happened back then, the Yuan family died because of his father, but due to various shackles, his father not only failed to keep the only remaining Yuan Chulin in the Yuan family, but also failed to rectify the name of the Yuan family for so many years... Yuan Che hated He, too, deserves it. (Remember, my uncle's property is called 'Chulin Tower', which is Shi Xiaomo's mother's boudoir name...)

After a while, Uncle Yuan calmed down, patted off someone's sweaty hand, and said calmly, "You guys did a good job. But, boy Huan, what are your plans? You are still treating me in the muddy pond of Rongguo Mansion." No good."

Only then did Jia Huan let go of his hand to comfort Shi Mo, and took out a piece of tissue paper from his purse, saying: "I found this in the same brocade box, that one was originally placed in the middle of the box, this one Zhang is on top, I thought it would be useful, so I brought it too."

Yuan Che heard this, took it over and looked at it, but smiled: "This is a copy, and it's also a harmful object. It's called 'Fu Xin Pill'. I've seen this prescription before, and I'm afraid there are others in Rongfu. Few people have used it before." Returning the prescription to Jia Huan, he said with a smile, "Your aunt, and your uncle, um, plus that grandma Rong from Dongfu, all of them were defeated by this prescription. .Maybe, there are many more I don't know."

Jia Huan looked at the tissue paper and said blankly: "Aunt, uncle, daughter-in-law..."

Shi Mo asked in surprise: "Sister Lin's mother, didn't she die from weakness? Isn't she the most beloved daughter of the Jia family?"

Yuan Che sneered: "It's love, but can't it be that she has a good daughter-in-law? This rotten pill makes people weak. If the dose is small, it can last for more than ten years. If the dose is large, it will go away in a few months." The ordinary doctor couldn't find anything, he could only say that the body was weak, and the body needed to be replenished. Who would have thought that this tonic would be a death-threatening to the poisoned person, the harder the tonic, the faster it went; on the contrary It's a day of eating rough tea, light rice, chaff and vegetables, and the poison will gradually be expelled. Your sister Lin's mother is the dowry wood, and she has been tampered with. She is a woman, and she sits there every day. In the place, there is also the ginseng and ganoderma soaked in medicine, which are sent from Rongguo Mansion every year, so if you can survive, then it is a luck that the Lin family has a light taste and prefers vegetarian food."

Jia Huan asked in a daze: "The mother of Lian's second brother is also the second wife's handwriting?" He had heard about the deeds of the old lady. When the old lady was there, the whole house was clean and refreshing. It was not as absurd as later, Lian's second elder brother was also very good at reading, and everyone said that the daughter of Qinggui Hanlin's family was not ordinary.It turned out that the aunt was not fate, but was murdered?

"The eldest lady of the Jia family is a smart person, and she has some friendship with your mother," but neither of them got a good end.Uncle Yuan Xiao said to Shi Mo, "With the brains of the second wife, I can't easily harm this one. To put it bluntly, it wasn't that old lady who did it behind, but I didn't expect that she would do it to her daughter-in-law first, and then The daughter-in-law did something to her own daughter, and then killed the great-granddaughter-in-law for the daughter of Jia's family to come to power, it really is a vicious means."

Glancing at the prescription, Yuan Che said casually: "Take it down and give Lin Ruhai a copy. He should also know how Fa's wife died young."

Jia Huan held the prescription tightly, only to be afraid that his aunt and sister didn't die on it fortunately.

Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, Yuan Che said: "This Fuxin Pill is no better than that Guiquan uses the best and rare medicinal materials. As long as there is a prescription for this Fuxin Pill, even if it needs more medicinal materials It’s just a lot of trouble. I’m afraid it’s not that you haven’t given it to your aunt, but that the good stuff that’s been prepared hasn’t reached your aunt’s mouth. Even you, I’m afraid you have eaten unclean food. If you want to be a virtuous name Son, it’s enough to keep your sister by your side.”

After Jia Huan thought about it for a while, he also understood that his aunt was vulgar and unlovable in the early years, and even he was also bullied by the maidservant. The mother-in-law ate it, how could they get their mouths?That being said, he escaped a disaster.Until he made friends with his brother Mo, the two lived and boarded mostly at Brother Mo's place, and Grandma Wu, who was in charge of Brother Mo, was a capable person, so don't even think about getting even a little bit of dirt into Brother Mo's house. Yard——Mo Geer is really his lucky star!

Hearing his uncle's words, Shi Mo was startled, grabbed Jia Huan's sleeve and frowned, "You, you should be more careful, hey, no matter what, you should eat more rough food this month!"

Jia Xiaohuan's heart seemed to be wiped with honey, and she didn't care about anything else, she held someone's hand behind her back, and nodded with a smile.Not to mention the crude food of brown rice, even bran swallowed vegetables, he also likes it very much.

Seeing someone's paws grasping the hand of the little nephew in front of his face, the little uncle was even more upset because of the haze of Guiquan's prescription, so he slapped Prince Zhu away and sat down again, watching his family grow up His little nephew smiled and said: "Listening to what Mo'er said, I really like your cousin Lin. The Lin family is also corresponding to our family. Naturally, Lin Ruhai's daughter is no different. Lin Ruhai likes you again. If you like it, uncle will beg you." Would you like to be my daughter-in-law?"

Shi Mo's body froze, Jia Xiaohuan looked at Uncle Yuan with scorching eyes as if facing a formidable enemy.

Uncle Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, if he hadn't watched you grow up with his little nephew, he would have kicked you out a long time ago, hum!

"Don't, don't," Shi Xiaomo waved his hands hastily, "Sister Lin is already engaged, saying this will ruin Sister Lin's reputation."

"Oh." Uncle Yuan took the opportunity, "It turns out that Mo'er is worried about this, don't worry, uncle has his own way to solve it, not to mention the Zhang family, Lin Ruhai will naturally be more happy, as long as your future children have a surnamed Lin , are you afraid that the old guy will not be happy to agree? Well, there is a surname Lin, and the second surname is Yuan, good! Good, it is really good!"

What the little uncle said seemed to be true, Shi Mo slandered, not to mention the strictness of the clan in this era, even if the Lin clan agreed that the second son of Lin’s sister’s family would inherit the Lin clan, then the Zhang family would not do this, or Can you watch the daughter-in-law in the picture being snatched away?

"Sister Lin and I are brothers and sisters, uncle must not joke. Speaking of which, sister Lin has already made a marriage, and sister is not young, is she? Does uncle have any rules?" Shi Xiaomo hastily denied and changed the subject , the one next to him has been blown up, is there any reason, the fried Jia Xiaohuan is black and sour, and that sour narrow-mindedness can kill him.

Mentioning Shi Xiangyun, Uncle Yuan's smile faded a bit. This niece, it can be said that she stabbed him twice in the wound back then, helped the person who killed her parents set a trap to capture her niece who came to pick her up after this adventure. uncle?

"She's a girl from the historian family. Do I need to worry about her marriage?"

Shi Mo smiled wryly. He knew that there was an inextricable knot between his little uncle and his sister, but getting married was the second reincarnation of a girl in this era. It's been a lifetime of pain, not to mention that my sister has made great progress now.

"Uncle, my sister used to be young and ignorant, and with Bao Linghou, it turned out that Mrs. Qi didn't know how to teach my sister something good. It's not easy for my sister to be alone in such a place... Now that my sister is older, she knows right from wrong. You see, she lives in Zhongjinghou's mansion every day and can't come out. Although the third aunt is good to her, but Zhongjinghou's mansion still has two concubine daughters who are the same age as her, and the third aunt may not be able to get involved in her marriage. If you point to Baolinghou's Mansion, my sister's life will be..."

"What third aunt!" Uncle Yuan immediately became unhappy, for fear that his little nephew would be snatched away.

Thinking back, facing an uncle like myself who has never been masked, even if the person I installed said all kinds of great things, it was too abrupt for Xiao Xiangyun. stop.Now Xiangyun really lives in seclusion, and often does some needlework for them.

Uncle Yuan seemed to glance at the pair of comfortable shoes on his feet inadvertently, and finally softened his tone: "That's your own sister, you just need to pay more attention!" After finishing speaking, he was about to walk away.

Shi Mo could clearly hear him muttering casually, "You have so many subjects in the same department, why do you need your uncle to bother?"

Shi Mo chuckled, but his uncle was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. He turned around and asked Jia Xiaohuan with a smile: "Uncle must know who made those shoes on his feet, not only the shoes, but also the purse on his body."

The footsteps of the little uncle outside the door faltered slightly, and then he took a bigger step, with his head held high, and he disappeared in a moment.On the contrary, His Royal Highness, Prince Su behind him, seems to be in a better mood despite being calm - some people are wondering whose hands these shoes and purses came from!Gritting teeth to find out.

"Hey, why don't you smile?" Shi Mo looked back and saw Jia Xiaohuan's upright and serious face, feeling a little suspicious.

"Huh? Why don't I smile? Brother Mo, what do you think?" Jia Huan leaned forward with a half-smile, rubbing Shi Moyu's white cheek and asked.

"I, how do I know?!" Shi Xiaomo blurted out after a slight pause, tears in his heart, his IQ is getting worse and worse after being doted on by his uncle and someone for the past few years!fall!Remember when he was young and mature?What about strategizing?They must have been eaten by Jia Xiaohuan!

Rubbing soft bean curd vigorously, Jia Huan's eyes seemed to grow on someone's lips.Just looking at Shi Xiaomo, his hair stood on end, thinking about his wicker-like body like a chicken, and seeing that this man was a head taller than him and had the generous physique of a grown man, he felt more and more crisis: Uncle, where are you? ?If you don’t leave early, don’t leave late, you’ll make people angry, you can go again (@?[email protected])~ My dear uncle, are you Jia Xiaohuan’s own uncle?

Finally, before someone came to his mouth, Shi Xiaomo had a quick idea: "Since you got the things, how do you separate the family? I'm afraid it's a good time for you. The Jia family is not willing to let you out? And your aunt and Sister, what are your plans?"

After mentioning the bad thing, Jia Xiaohuan really calmed down and stopped attacking, only to see that this person was still lingering there with his eyes, which meant—sooner or later.

Shi Xiaomo's face turned red when he saw him, and he asked again viciously.

"Don't worry. The better I am, the more I will be in the way of people's eyes, especially when I worshiped at the small ancestral hall of Rongguo Mansion. Those people want to eat me. Just wait. It won't take half a month for someone to be unable to hold back." gone."

*********

"This is changing yards, picking people, and coming to Chengri's house to give money to entertain the same family! Old lady, it's not that I can't tolerate it as a concubine, but if he saves some face for brother Baoyu, I will not tolerate it." People?" Mrs. Wang was crying in the upper room holding her handkerchief.

Jia Mu's face was ashen, this boy Huan looked at him, did he turn the world upside down?Not to mention changing the yard and picking people, what is he doing with his brother when he invites people to the banquet!Don't even look at what kind of gangsters his friends are, Baoyu who can look down on her after winning the first place?Could it be that Boy Huan deliberately embarrasses his brother with a grudge?

When Jia's mother thought this way, Mrs. Wang even speculated viciously: "He is like this, because he can't see Baoyu studying seriously, and is afraid that Baoyu will be more prosperous in the future? This way makes his friends trample Baoyu... Baoyu's complexion these days , Alas, my poor Baoyu!"

Yuanyang looked down at the side with a pleasing look, took a good look at the retreat and asked the little girl to bring in new tea, but she hurried to the small kitchen to bring old pigeon soup to clear away dryness and nourish the lungs, not only avoiding the fire, but also showing that she was considerate .It's just that the heart is clear, this third master Huan hosted a banquet for the same subject, the old lady and the wife forced the third master Huan to take the second master Bao away after seeing this, in order to improve the reputation of the second master Bao, and also in Shilin In order to prepare for his official career in the future; unexpectedly, those Jinshi gentlemen who chatted and composed poems and compositions during the banquet were all serious knowledge. Although the second master Bao has aura, he is used to making those flowers in his daily life The poems and prose of the daughter's family, in this way, will make people look up to them, and it's just a bit of cold face. According to the waiter's servant, Mr. Huan has been rounded up.In this regard, the old lady and the wife are not reluctant, and now they are very angry.

Ever since she saw that Jia's mother had the momentum to give her to Baoyu, Yuanyang's heart was somewhat betrayed by the old lady. The more clearly she saw it, the more just her words became.

This day coincided with the five-day rest of the Hanlin Academy. Mother Jia called Jia Huan with a cold face, and made people kneel down: "Huan'er, you are so filial when you have a future? Let your 'friends' do what you want." You are the eldest brother! Don’t forget, even if you reach heaven, Baoyu is still your elder brother! As a concubine, there is no distinction between senior and junior, why should you be an official?!”

However, Jia Huan's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground and said every word: "Old lady, you are trying to make Huan'er nowhere to stand! I followed your instructions and took my second brother to the banquet. The big guys wrote poems and Fu, and the second elder brother made a poem about the grievances of the boudoir, and no one else said much! If the old lady doesn’t believe it, just call the second elder brother and a group of servants to see if someone says something bad. No words! The old lady said that Huan’er doesn’t distinguish between seniority and seniority, even if Huan’er dies immediately, she can’t bear such an ambiguous reputation! Seniority and seniority? Our family rules, all sacrifices are based on fame and fame. Those who worship the small ancestral hall are respected as heirs! Except that they cannot inherit the family, they are no different from heirs! Huan'er has never disrespected her elder brother, but what does the old lady say that there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority! Is the heir still honorable?"

Jia Mu turned pale with anger, but Jia Huan's words were full of righteousness, she didn't take advantage of it, and immediately passed out to give Jia Huan a reputation for being unfilial.

But I heard Jia Huan cry: "The old lady is like this, it can be seen that the second elder brother is more expensive than the family rules, Huan'er dare not say more, let the old lady deal with it! It is Huan'er who speaks bluntly, please be at ease, I am afraid The old lady is in trouble, so I need to invite the imperial doctor to wait, so that the old lady can deal with Huan'er in her heart!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and told his youngest son outside: "I heard that Doctor Lu is visiting your uncle Shi's place, so hurry up and respectfully invite him to come!"

Jia's mother choked. She had suffered so much at the Lin family back then, she still didn't dare to pretend to be dizzy in front of this doctor Lu, and she couldn't do it now.Thinking of this, I hated Jia Huan even more for his cunning, slippery hands and refusal to be manipulated!

There was a commotion outside, but it was Jia Zheng who came in. Jia Zheng had already heard the whole story, and when he came in, he knelt down and said, "Old lady calm down, what happened earlier is really not bad, don't you know that Baoyu, that evil bastard, did it all?" What thick and colorful poems!..."

Before Jia Zheng could finish speaking, Jia's mother scolded: "I knew it, but when you saw your son, you won face for you, and spoiled my Yu'er even more! Today, the old woman knows that the relationship between the father and the son was still good. There is such a high and low eyebrow, come on, Baoyu, don’t cry, let’s pack up and go south! Don’t get in the way of your father and son!”

Jia's mother became angry, and what she said became more and more disrespectful. Jia Zheng wanted face the most. Jia's mother repeatedly suppressed him with filial piety. Talking like this will always bring out some soft words like "I think when your father beat you back then, I..." to tell the old love, this time not only there is no such thing as eyebrows and eyes.

Jia Zheng's face is like gold paper, he feels that he is filial enough and treats Baoyu preferentially, but every time the old lady slaps him in the face because of Baoyu's affairs, he really can't get angry.

Mrs. Wang was crying more and more, and Jia Zheng was even angrier. If he knew about this today, it was because Mrs. Wang used the previous incident to punish Aunt Zhao for being ill, and slapped four or five aunts on the ears. He didn't know until he heard all the noise.

Jia Zheng was so angry and indulged in female sex these days that he couldn't breathe and passed out.

Mother Jia panicked, and immediately called for the imperial physician.

Someone whispered outside the door: "The old lady is partial to the second master Bao, and regards the second master Bao as more precious than the clan rules and heirs of the clan. She was so angry that she fainted the second master."

On the second day, a censor impeached the Rongguo Mansion. Although Jia's mother was not mentioned in the memorial, he said that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng could not persuade his parents, and Jia's morality was hindered.

Mother Jia has been an old feudal monarch for half her life, but she forgot that there is a "husband obeys son" in the rules of women's morality.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang invited her into the palace to visit Concubine Yuan, and she was allowed.
