Red House Shoufu

Chapter 413 Sister Yuan, I'm Coming to Marry You!
Wang Ziteng is a really ruthless person, he is ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to himself.

The enmity between the Lin family and the Wang family is endless, but both Lin Shu and Wang Ziteng have tacitly suppressed this enmity in their hearts.

Because both of them knew that Wang Ziteng would definitely die.

The emperor gave Wang Ziteng a chance, not to give him a chance to survive, but to ask Wang Ziteng to use his life to remove the obstacles in the great cause of reform for the dynasty.For example, the Confucian family in Qufu, the symbol of Confucianism-Yanshenggong Mansion!
In the end, what awaited Wang Ziteng might be a glass of poisoned wine. Of course, the emperor might have promised Wang Ziteng that he would let the Wang family go and give the Wang family a future.

No matter how much Lin Shu hated Wang Ziteng, he had to lament that this man is really a sharp blade, decisive, resolute, and unscrupulous!
Lin Shu was excited by this news, and the remaining drunkenness dissipated with the wind.He invited the brothers Gao Wancheng to sit down, called the maid to prepare tea, then handed Bai Jingjing to the cat slave Gao Wanxuan, and asked about the specific situation in Shandong.

Gao Wancheng has already begun to share the government affairs for the emperor, and he knows the specific situation in Shandong clearly.

Seeing that Gao Wancheng didn't see the joke just now, he said solemnly: "Brother Jiang sent a detailed report. After Wang Ziteng arrived in Shandong, he was on the front line of suppressing the bandits on the surface. The Embroidery Guard secretly investigated the ownership of the land, chambers of commerce, and minerals of the various prefectures in Shandong. At the same time, they secretly met with Dai Yi, the inspector censor of Shandong, and invited Dai censor to install all the officials in Shandong..."

"Dai Yi?"

Lin Shu felt that this person's name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Gao Wancheng smiled and said, "Dai Yi is Dai Quan's nephew! Moreover, Dai Yi has been a censor in Shandong for 20 years..."

"Your Highness is saying that the old sage has long been at Chakong's house?"

From Gao Wancheng's acquiescence, Lin Shu's tailbone was chilling.All the subjects in the world have been played by the father and son of the Forbidden City!
From Jiangnan, Liaodong, Jiubian to Shandong, every time the emperor took a step, people who were originally loyal to the Supreme Emperor would suddenly appear to serve the emperor.

Among the four kings, eight lords and twelve marquises, Dongping County's mansion was handed over to the military power and confined to the capital; Xining County's mansion failed to rebel and was driven to a barren land; He was fighting with the Japanese at the village level; Nan'an County Prince's Mansion has become a passing cloud, not only losing the power in Lingnan, but also being stripped of his title.

A few years ago, it seemed that the current throne was on the verge of collapse, and the great Chu was besieged on all sides, but Lin Shu looked back, and every time there was a crisis, the Forbidden City was as stable as Mount Tai. out.

The feudal towns of Liaodong, Lingnan, and Hexi were all taken back, and Shanxi merchants were disabled. Now the Confucian family in Qufu is in danger, and only the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are still running around.

High, really high!
Lin Shu secretly slandered the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor for playing politics. Their hearts were dirty enough. He couldn't guess the actual situation in the early years of Zhide, but after seven years of Zhide, the father and son must have performed a big drama together .

"According to Brother Jiang's secret report, the Kong family secretly controlled most of Shandong's mine veins, waterways, shipping, salt, farmland, etc., and even trained a large number of private soldiers and servants, and forged countless armors. Although there is no real rebellion , has actually controlled more than half of Shandong, Nanzhili, and several prefectures in Henan."

When Gao Wancheng said this, he suddenly let out a long sigh: "I also never imagined that the descendants of the saints, the sacred place of the world's literati would be so filthy. Several upright elders in the Kong family were suppressed, so they could only stay at home and study. It is the heinous person who has seized the power of the Kong family, and his crimes are too numerous to write down, and if he pulls out any one, he will be executed immediately!"

"The incident in Shandong has not been spread yet, and the emperor temporarily suppressed the matter. According to Elder Wei Ge's intention, he asked Wang Ziteng to secretly escort the people involved in the Kong family back to the capital for retrial..."

Gao Wancheng gave a detailed account of the opinions of several ministers in the court, including the opinions of the cabinet, the six ministries, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Based on these analysis, Lin Shu figured out the attitudes of several major factions in the court towards the Confucian family. The pure imperial party headed by Wei Qinghe sought stability and wanted to investigate and deal with it secretly.

The attitude of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division is more radical, and it seems that there are plans to open the trial, win the title and replace people.

Several ministers and assistant ministers in the six ministries took the attitude of maintaining the reputation of Confucianism and Taoism, and making big and small things small, and hoped that the emperor would issue secret decrees and secretly punish them.

Of course, several important ministers impeached Prince Teng for privately mobilizing troops, detaining Duke Yansheng without the central government, besieging the city, banning internal and external crimes, and so on.

The emperor couldn't directly say that it was made by his secret decree, Prince Teng, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and temporarily threw all the pot to Wang Ziteng.In Gao Wanxuan's words, the Qinzheng Hall this morning was noisier than the markets in the eastern and western cities, and when the Xiaochaohui ended, there was no result.

In the end, Wei Qinghe slapped the table angrily, and dispatched a servant, Du Yushi, and Dali Temple Shaoqing from the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple to form an imperial team to investigate the case in Shandong.

Of course, according to Lin Shu's own opinion, it is estimated that when the imperial envoy arrived in Shandong, Wang Ziteng must have plowed the Kong family, and the only thing the imperial envoy can do is to deal with the aftermath.

These things are no longer what Lin Shu should worry about. The only thing he worries about now is whether his future brother-in-law, Gao Wanjiang, will get involved in this matter.

Wang Ziteng was risking his life to save the Wang family's life, so there was no need for Gao Wanjiang to get involved.

"Your Highness, did Prince Zhongshun get involved?"

Gao Wancheng laughed when he heard the words: "Master Lin, don't worry, Brother Jiang has been staying in Qingzhou Mansion to supervise the military from the beginning to the end, and has never set foot in Qufu!"

"The Confucius family is, after all, the holy place for officials in the world. The imperial court still has to prepare countermeasures, otherwise the officialdom will be in turmoil, which will be detrimental to the stability of the country."

Lin Shu had some words that he couldn't say clearly. It is estimated that when Shilin was in turmoil, it would be the time for Wang Ziteng to apologize with death. It depends on whether Wang Ziteng can silence those people.

The Gao Wancheng brothers came here specially today, of course not just to tell Lin Shu about Shandong.The two of them also sent a message that at dusk tomorrow, the emperor will come to the Lin residence in person.

The emperor personally came to congratulate him, Lin Shu was naturally grateful.The trouble is that it is a little troublesome, but if the emperor can come, it will bring endless prestige to the Lin family.

Before leaving, Gao Wanxuan secretly stuffed Lin Shu with a pack of medicine, and whispered mysteriously, "I specially asked for this from the Imperial Hospital. The teacher will take it tomorrow night. I can give birth to a junior brother next year. I will give it to him at that time." Enlightenment taught him knowledge..."

This kid, I don't know where he knew these things!
Lin Shu couldn't help but put away the medicine bag, and thanked him.After seeing off the two brothers, he looked up at the setting sun, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner.

……

Under the background of the lights, Feng Guanxia made Wang Yuan's pretty face red. Before dawn in the morning, Wang Xiao asked her mother to wake up Wang Yuan who had just fallen asleep.

The cold wind of the winter moon could not dampen the enthusiasm of the Wang family. The red lanterns were lit one by one, and the maids and servants began to get busy. The stoves were burned red everywhere. Set off the festive heart of the crowd.

As someone who came here, Yingchun was also Wang Yuan's sister-in-law. In the room, she told Wang Yuan, who looked a little nervous, what should be paid attention to today.

"I asked Taozi and Tangerine to bring a lot of snacks. If you are hungry, you can eat a few bites. I am afraid that I will be busy until evening today. If you have nothing to do before noon, you should take a rest first. My mother and I will watch over the front. It will disturb you."

Yingchun called the nanny in charge one by one, and checked the things that should be prepared.Like dowry and other things, she counted them one by one according to the list.

Wang Yuan looked at Yingchun and Nanny who were busy in the room, and the anxiety in her heart gradually disappeared, but all kinds of reluctance flooded her heart instead.

When Fifteen and Ji first got married, Feng Guanxia bid farewell to her parents.

After today, she was about to marry into the Lin family. Wang Yuan couldn't help but her eyes were slightly sore, her cheeks were slightly cold, and when she reached out her hand to touch it, there were actually tears.

"You child, why are you still crying on the big day!"

At some point, Mrs. Wang had already come to her daughter's side, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face, and pulled it into her arms, just like when she was a child, gently patting Wang Yuan's back .

Wang Yuan buried her face in her mother's arms and began to cry.

Yingchun quietly gestured to everyone in the room, led them out of the room, then closed the door gently, and guarded outside.

"Why did the second sister come out?"

Wang Huan, who had finished working in the front yard, strode over, wrapped Yingchun in his cloak, and pulled Yingchun into his arms to warm Yingchun with his own body temperature, regardless of the maid beside him.

Yingchun's cheeks were burning with embarrassment, but she didn't push Wang Huan away. Instead, she hid her face in his chest and said softly: "My sister is probably reluctant to leave home and is sad. Mother is comforting her... ..."

Wang Huan, a straight man, naturally wouldn't understand his daughter's thoughts, and muttered: "There's nothing to be sad about, Lin's house is less than two quarters of an hour away from our house, and he will come back when he misses home, can Jinyu stop her?" Is it okay to follow her?"

"What did my husband say? How can a married daughter run away to her mother's house without being laughed at by others."

Yingchun knew her husband quite well, raised her head and gave Wang Huan a white look, and said in a low voice, "You must not say this in front of others, they will think our Wang family's girl is uneducated."

After being "taught" by his wife, Wang Huan smiled and hugged Yingchun tightly, and his hands under the cloak moved up and down irregularly, causing Yingchun to almost scream out.

"Ouch!"

Wang Huan yelled. It turned out that Yingchun was in a hurry and stepped on by him.

Yingchun took the opportunity to knock down Wang Huan's unruly palm, pinched the soft flesh on Wang Huan's waist, and warned in a low voice: "A married daughter always has some worries about gains and losses. Don't say those unreliable words today to make my sister feel sad. .”

It's not that Yingchun is worried, it's because she knows that her husband is too playful, like a child who hasn't grown up, and his mischief is not much different from that of Zhongshun Wang Gaoyong.

After repeated warnings, Wang Huan smiled and nodded in response.At this time, the voice of mother-in-law came from the room, Yingchun responded, and while ordering the maidservant to prepare hot water, she walked into the room with Wang Huan.

……

The Lin Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red silk flowers were hung all the way to the gate of Huanghuafang.

The Xuezi Street was decorated with joy. Early in the morning, Lin Lu arranged for people to light two strings of thousands of firecrackers. The red confetti exploded and covered the entire street.

Nanny Zhang sent Lin Shu a brand-new unicorn suit early in the morning, and it was a special purple-red color. The unicorn embroidered with gold thread was mighty and domineering. The auspicious beast unicorn stepped on auspicious clouds. The golden crown and jade belt made Lin Shu even more eye-catching.

"I thought it would be more appropriate to wear the No. [-] scholar wedding gown, but I didn't expect that today's wedding ceremony will be the same as in the previous court, with the official gown on my body."

Lin Shu let Nanny Zhang dress herself up, and when she saw that she was about to put powder on herself, she quickly shook her head to avoid it: "Hey, nanny, don't do this for me, I really can't stand it!"

Nanny Zhang forcibly grabbed Lin Shu's head, and said with a smile: "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. Master Hou probably didn't sleep well last night. The circles under his eyes are a little dark. This old slave wiped Master Hou a little bit to cover it up." cover……"

"Just a little, just a little!"

Lin Shu begged for mercy repeatedly, and finally escaped from Nanny Zhang's clutches.

At this time, Daiyu helped Lin Jin in and walked in. After looking him up and down, Lin Jin smiled and praised: "It really is my unicorn. Brother Shu is wearing this white horse to welcome the bride today. I don't know how many boudoir women will be there along the way." Weeping and fainting at home."

Daiyu also jokingly said, "Third Uncle, you don't know that the day my brother straddled the horse and paraded through the streets, the sachets that fell on my brother were packed into two big boxes, which is more than the number two and Tanhua combined!"

Everyone in the room agreed one after another, and now Lin Jin smiled even happier.The Lin family has Lin Shu, a unicorn, and the efforts of three generations have finally brought the Lin family back to the peak. As the head of the family, he has not lived in vain for decades.

Lin Shu's ears were full of compliments, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't bear the compliments, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle, what's the situation ahead? Just now I heard from Fuquan that there are quite a few applications from Nanzhili to Beijing..."

"Don't worry about these things. Today you will be your bridegroom's official. My uncle will watch over everything."

Lin Jin was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and Daiyu next to him brought him tea. He drank the tea slowly, enjoying the joy of his children and grandchildren around his knees, and the happy event was coming. Guier and the others are entertaining the guests in the front hall, even in your same age, they also came to help early in the morning."

"Brother, don't worry, the uncles and the elder brothers share a yard together, and our family will not be disrespectful. The eldest uncle and the second uncle have also arrived, and they are entertaining several princes and the old grandfather of the Dudu's mansion in the front hall with the second brother Lian. There are also old Wei Ge, Qian Gong and others."

Lin Shu was relieved by Daiyu's supplement, but he still felt a little regretful. If his father Lin Ruze and heir father Lin Ruhai were still alive, why would the Lin family need the Jia family to help entertain the elders?

In the final analysis, the strength of the Lin family has not yet fully recovered, the power in the court is not strong enough, and there is a lack of people who can stand on their own.

"Uncle, when the holy car arrives in the evening, please ask the uncle to gather the children in the family and go with the grandson to meet him. Especially the sixth brother, seventh brother, and Gui brother, you must be careful not to show timidity. Your majesty likes to be full of vigor and determination. You, maybe in the palace exam, you can get better results because of this one-sided relationship."

Sheng Jia, when Lin Jin thought that the Lin family would welcome Sheng Jia, his hand holding the teacup couldn't help trembling slightly.

There was a red light on his face, and he replied loudly: "Brother Shu, don't worry, our Lin family must show His Majesty the most perfect side today!"

……

Marquis Yongfeng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Yuanlang, and Lin Jinyu, the head of the Great Chu Wenkui Lin Shu, got married today. No matter whether they had any filth with the Lin family before, all the people in Beijing sent people to congratulate them.

Because the Ministry of Rites has long reported that Shengjia will arrive at Yongfenghou Mansion in Huanghuafang in the evening, and the emperor will go to congratulate him. If these courtiers don't go, wouldn't they be slapping the emperor in the face?

Two rows of carriages were parked neatly in front of Huanghuafang.Carriages are not allowed to enter the square gate today, because in addition to reserving enough space for the guard of honor, the Lin family's wedding team is too huge.

According to the system, after the holy driver greeted the bride and married, 64 people carried the phoenix sedan chair; the princess was 32, the prince was [-], and the three princes and three young masters were the first-rank cabinet scholars.

Lin Shu, as the Marquis of Chaopin County, to marry Mrs. Hou naturally had to carry a phoenix sedan chair at sixteen, and the marquis honor guard and no less than a hundred relatives and friends who came to help welcome the bride.

In addition, many of Lin Shu's friends in the same year were famous and even served as officials in the court. The rows of horses with big red flowers on their heads stood in two full rows in front of and behind the sedan chair.

A neighbor's child teased the horse with the grass he found from nowhere, causing the horse to chew and snort from time to time.

"Crackling..."

In a daze, it was already afternoon, butler Lin Lu was optimistic about the time, and when he waved his hand, bursts of firecrackers rang out outside the door.

The children who were playing with the horses all had bright eyes, covered their ears and ran to the front of Lin's residence.

While running, he sang a nursery rhyme that was taught long ago: "Liu Yuanlang, marry a bride, ride a white horse and wear a purple robe. A big sedan chair, welcome the girl, give birth to a baby reading man..."

Amidst bursts of nursery rhymes, Lin Lu shouted: "The Lin family marries a wife, and the Wang family marries a daughter. The auspicious time has come, let's welcome the bride!"

"Crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers became more and more intense, and the servants of the Lin Mansion began to sprinkle out the happy money candies that had been prepared long ago. The children on the street sang nursery rhymes while excitedly picking up the scattered copper coin candies on the ground. The sound of firecrackers and laughter rang out. into one piece.

Surrounded by everyone, Lin Shu bowed his hands to his relatives and friends, and at the same time came to the white horse, got on the horse, and the crowd beside him cheered in unison: "What a handsome groom!"

clap clap clap!
The whip sounded three times, and Lin Lu shouted again: "Get up the sedan chair and welcome the relatives!"

The team set off slowly, and the guard of honor in front of Lin Shu unfurled the ceremonial plaque, writing a letter to the leader of Liuyuan and the Marquis of Yongfeng County at the same time.

Coupled with Lin Shu's purple-red-and-gold-thread unicorn robe, the crowd on both sides shouted and cheered from time to time as the procession marched.

Listening to the sound of applause and congratulations coming from both sides, Lin Shu kept bowing his hands to thank the crowd on both sides. As he got closer and closer to the Wang family, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: "Sister Yuan, I'm here to marry you!" is you!"
