Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

However, this was done intentionally by Jia Huan.

When he met Emperor Chongkang this time, Jia Huan vaguely felt that Emperor Chongkang's attitude towards him seemed to be different.

This time when I met Emperor Chongkang, Emperor Chongkang was more enthusiastic than the previous times.

But from this enthusiasm, Jia Huan felt indifference and suspicion.

It seems that he used the magic mirror to light a fire, and made the barbarian king mistake him for the barbarian god, and voluntarily surrendered to him, which made Emperor Chongkang feel uneasy.

In fact, this matter is quite excusable.

The emperor is the supreme being. The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shore where he leads his troops is not the king's ministers.

Everyone in the world should be in awe of him.

But the people of the Southern Barbarians only feared Jia Huan and not the emperor.

What would this make the emperor think?

The most ruthless imperial family!

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

Fortunately, Princess Anle came out to rescue her in the end.

However, his crisis was not over.

Jia Huan did not expect that suspicion would arise so quickly just after he gained the emperor's attention.

As for the way to relieve the emperor's suspicion, one way is to take the initiative to give the emperor some clues.

Self-destruction is also an excellent method.

Many famous and important ministers in ancient times used this method of self-defilement.

But for Jia Huan, his previous personality was a bit good.

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, loving the people like a son, the great master of the sky, the four sentences of Jia Zi, Wenquxing descending to the earth, etc. are all positive.

If you want to defile yourself in these aspects, I'm afraid it won't work.

Jia Huan thought about it and realized that he could only blame himself on the aspect of greed for money and lust.

Well, actually this can’t be considered self-destruction.

After all, that’s what a man is like!

Jia Huan mentioned Lin Ruhai this time and wanted the emperor to transfer Lin Ruhai back to the capital intentionally.

It is always right to act recklessly and stupidly in some aspects in front of the emperor.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongkang heard what Jia Huan said, instead of blaming him, he looked at Jia Huan with a smile and asked:

"Oh, what Jia Aiqing said is that she wants me to transfer Lin Aiqing back to the capital to recuperate?"

Jia Huan said sheepishly: "Weichen is scared, but Weichen has no intention of doing so. Weichen..."

"Well, Lord Lin is the father-in-law of Weichen after all. Weichen can't bear to see Sister Lin sad, so that's why."

"I am afraid, your majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Chongkang laughed and said: "It's human nature for a young man to admire Ai, so what's the crime?"

"What's more, Lin Aiqing is my humerus minister. If he hadn't been in charge of Jiangnan, I wouldn't have been so stable over the years!"

"I owe Lin Aiqing a lot, and this time it's thanks to you for reminding me."

"I should have transferred Lin Aiqing back to the capital to recuperate years ago!"

Hearing what Emperor Chongkang said, Jia Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly said: "Thank you so much for your kindness. Your Majesty is kind and wise!"

Emperor Chongkang couldn't help laughing and said: "If I transfer your father-in-law back, he will be the sage king?"

"If I don't agree to your request, will I become a foolish king in your mouth?"

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. How can I dare to think like this?"

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Emperor Chongkang smiled and said nothing.

After Jia Huan knelt down and came out, Emperor Chongkang looked at Jia Huan's back and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity that such a talented young man has gradually become as slippery as the ministers in the court! "

As everyone knows, this slickness is often induced.

……

After leaving the palace, Jia Huan felt a chill on his back, and his clothes were soaked with sweat before he knew it.

No wonder they say that being with you is like being with a tiger.

This also made Jia Huan more determined to establish a secret base overseas.

The island controlled by the second room of the Xue family is a good choice.

However, it would be more appropriate for the Xue family to bring this matter up themselves.

The second wife of the Xue family came to the capital to send Xue Baoqin to get married.

Jia Huan expected that if nothing unexpected happened, an accident would happen.

Thinking about his thoughts all the way, Jia Huan rode back to Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw everyone in the mansion, including the children from the branch of Ningguo Mansion, waiting outside to welcome him.

When everyone saw Jia Huan from afar, they all shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Marquis on his triumphant return, and welcome the Marquis back to the mansion!"

Formalism again!

But it looks quite majestic!

Jia Huan immediately said the word "appreciate".

The servants of Ningguo Mansion immediately shouted loudly: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward!"

Jia Huan laughed and greeted everyone, and then invited everyone into the house.

Among the crowd, there were only a few respectable people who followed him into the house, had a few sips of tea, congratulated him and then left.

Most people are not even qualified to enter the mansion.

After entering Ninglu Hall, Jia Huan discovered that Lin Daiyu, Tanchun, Xichun, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were all here, gathered together.

Qingwen, Xiangling, Caiyun and other girls came to the door early to greet him.

When they saw Jia Huan from afar, they hurriedly bowed and their eyes became moist when they looked at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan said hurriedly: "No need to be polite, come inside and talk."

After entering the courtyard, I was busy saying hello to a group of sisters.

After a while of greetings, everyone sat down to talk.

Xichun hurriedly asked: "Third brother, your heroic deeds in the southwest battlefield have now been made into stories by storytellers, and they are told to people all day long!"

"Last time, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion asked the opera troupe to sing a song, and she even talked about how Third Brother used the Haotian Mirror to ignite the Nanman grain and grass thousands of miles away!"

"As a result, sister-in-law Baoer said: The capital city is less than ten thousand miles away from the Nanbarbarians! Could it be that Brother Huan went to the Kingdom of Jin specifically to buy food and grass from the Nanbarbarians?"

"This thorn made the storyteller even lose his ability. Everyone laughed for a while!"

"Third brother, now that you are back, tell us what is going on?"

Hearing Xichun's words, Jia Huan called him a good guy.

While on the coast of the West Sea, he heard someone say that he had lit a fire thousands of miles away.

Now that it has spread to the capital, it is thousands of miles away? It was simply spread out of nowhere.

Next, Jia Huan gave a brief account of the war that took place after he went to the southwest.

As a result, Xichun looked disappointed after hearing this. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Third brother, is it so ordinary? It's not magical at all. It's far less amazing than what I heard from the storyteller!"

Baoqin couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Fourth sister didn't know that the battlefield is like this. Most of them are killing with swords and guns. Where did these many miracles come from?" "What's more, Brother Huan San's record is so good. It’s a miracle! Not a single horse was lost, not a single soldier was damaged, and tens of thousands of Southern Barbarian soldiers and horses were destroyed.”

"And he was so frightened that the Southern Barbarian King knelt down and surrendered. This level of achievement is unprecedented, if not unprecedented! Even the most famous generals in ancient times cannot match it!"

Xichun looked at Bao Qin and said with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Qin knows the third brother best!"

"Beauties have loved heroes since ancient times. Does Sister Qin also like Third Brother, a great hero?"

Jia Huan said hurriedly: "Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense. Miss Qin came to the capital this time to marry Mei Hanlin's son. This kind of joke must not be made."

"Once word spreads, it will definitely damage Miss Qin's reputation."

After hearing Jia Huan's words, Xichun realized that he had said the wrong thing.

She hurriedly stood up and said to Xue Baoqin Fu Shen: "Sister Qin, Xichun is young and doesn't know what to say. This is just a joke, and there is no intention to blaspheme my sister."

"I hope my sister, for the sake of Xichun's young age, won't be on the same level as me."

Xue Baoqin hurriedly pulled Xichun to her side and said, "Sister Xichun, this is worth it. Let's just talk about it."

"But what I just said is really inappropriate for my sister to say outside. It won't make people angry."

Xue Baoqin's sincere words made Xichun feel even more ashamed, but instead she became closer to Xue Baoqin.

After the sisters talked for a while, they stood up and left.

Lin Daiyu finally stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jia Huan again.

Seeing the meaningful expressions the sisters looked at her before leaving, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blush.

She couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huan, what are you doing? Is there something you can't say out loud just now? You want to tell me now?"

Jia Huan smiled slightly and saw that the sisters had already left. The maids also walked out wisely and closed the door.

Jia Huan couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Lin Daiyu gently and said, "Sister Lin, I really have something serious to tell you."

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "What serious business do you have?"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Sister Lin, this is really serious business. When I came here, I passed by Suzhou and visited my father-in-law."

"My father-in-law was indeed poisoned. I happen to have some knowledge of the Qihuang Way and have seen that kind of poison, so I detoxified my father-in-law."

"I persuaded my father-in-law again, and he was finally persuaded by me and decided to come to the capital to recuperate."

"This time when I went to see the current emperor, I mentioned my father-in-law to the emperor again."

"The emperor is also planning to transfer his father-in-law back to the capital. Therefore, I'm afraid it won't be long before Sister Lin and her daughter can be reunited."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help hugging Jia Huan tightly.

She couldn't help but sob: "Brother Huan, you don't have to be so nice to me. Your behavior makes me uneasy, lest this is just a dream."

"I'm just afraid that when I open my eyes, all this will be gone."

"Also, in my heart, you are the most important thing. Just like today, how can it be taboo for you to mention my father in front of the emperor?"

"If I make the emperor unhappy, wouldn't it delay your future? You must not do this in the future, otherwise, it will only make me uneasy."

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Sister Lin, the reason why I say this is not just because of you. In fact, I did it on purpose."

After that, Jia Huan briefly talked about how Emperor Chongkang was suspicious of him when he met with Emperor Chongkang today, and how he responded to it.

Lin Daiyu was very smart and quickly figured out the reason, but she couldn't help but feel scared.

She hurriedly said: "Brother Huan, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. It's great that you are so cautious."

"In the future, I would rather do less than do too much. You can also do a few silly things."

"Let me think about it. If you are too confused, it will be inappropriate."

"Young Mu Ai, why don't you take in more concubines and buy more properties. Then the emperor will probably not be so suspicious of you."

Hearing what Lin Daiyu said, Jia Huan's heart moved. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of laughter coming from outside.

Listening to this voice, there is no doubt that it is Xue Pan.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly pulled away and hid through the back door.

A moment later, Xue Pan walked in.

Seeing Xue Pan, Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother Xue, please sit down and talk."

Xue Pan sat down and said: "Brother Huan, congratulations on your trip to the southwest, beating the shit out of the Southern barbarians, and making great achievements."

"It's just that I promised you a long time ago that you would be there at my wedding, but this time you broke your promise."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "I would like to congratulate Brother Xue for being admitted to the imperial examination on a beautiful night in the bridal chamber. This time it is really because I have to go to the battlefield and I really can't get away."

"But this time it's true that I broke my promise. I need to ask Brother Xue to explain my troubles."

Xue Pan smiled again and said: "You have serious business, you and I are brothers, how can I blame you?"

"I would rather invite Brother Huan to serve as my host! Brother Huan, you don't know how good my bride is."

"He is respectful to my mother and treats my sister very well. He is also extremely gentle to me, but there is one thing that is wrong. He is a little bit intolerant in bed."

Cough!

Jia Huan listened to this guy talking more and more and got off the bridge. He coughed twice and changed the topic.

This is his official wife who has been married by the media, and she is not a concubine. Can such private matters be discussed openly like this?

Xue Pan's visit this time was indeed a treat.

It turned out that during his wedding, Jia Huan was unable to drink Xue Pan's wedding wine because he went to the southwest battlefield.

This time Jia Huan is back, and Xue Pan must make up for him.

The banquet was scheduled for tomorrow. Xue Pan came to invite him personally, and Jia Huan had no choice but to agree.

After Xue Pan left, Qingwen and the other girls had time to come over and say hello to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan curiously asked about Xue Pan's bride Fu Qiufang.

Unexpectedly, this bride actually received praises from all the girls.

It turns out that Fu Qiufang's brother Fu Shi is a man who likes to be popular, and he only wants to make friends with powerful people by relying on his sister's talent and appearance.

But Fu Qiufang turned out to be a good person after marrying into the Xue family.

He was filial to his mother-in-law, Aunt Xue, and was also very close to Xue Baochai.

He also knows how to write and be polite, and his words and deeds are actually first-rate.

And she is afraid of comparison in everything, comparing her with Baoyu's daughter-in-law Xia Jingui.

Actually one is in the sky and the other is under the earth.

And the one Xue Pan was supposed to marry was supposed to be Xia Jingui.

If it weren't for some mistake, if she really married Xia Jingui, she would have been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Therefore, after marrying this new daughter-in-law, no one in the Xue family was dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Jia Huan was also amazed.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was so lucky.

Soon after, old relatives of the Jia family and noble descendants from the founding line came to congratulate him one after another.

Unknowingly, Jia Huan's status among the founding nobles has become more and more important.

Jia Huan was busy all afternoon, and did not relax until the evening. (End of chapter)
