The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Chen Yunjue looked at the letter, frowning, puzzled.

What is so special about this Mei family?

"Brother Yunjue, what's the matter?" Seeing Chen Yunjue's expression was wrong, Daiyu asked.

Chen Yun handed the letter to her, "Look at it."

Daiyu hesitated, "Can I watch?"

This is a private letter written by Chen Yunxian to Chen Yunzhu, right?

"It's okay, you can watch it." Chen Yun excused, "There's nothing you can't watch."

When Daiyu heard this, she took it. There were only a few sentences in the letter, and the emphasis was on the last sentence.

——No matter what method you use, make the Mei family loyal to you.

Daiyu frowned after reading it, and folded the letter, "What's so special about this Mei family that Brother Chen took the trouble to send it to you?"

"I also do not understand……"

At first, Chen Yunjue only thought that this was a test given to him by his elder brother, thinking that his elder brother was like this in the past, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems that it is impossible to ignore it.

He rubbed his forehead, looked at Xingjian, "How much do you know about the Mei family?"

Although there was a Mei family in this plum garden, Chen Yun didn't intend to ask her. Three or forty years ago, this girl was not born yet, so all she could know was probably heard from others.

That being the case, it is better to ask Xingjian.

"What does Second Master want to know?" Xing Jian said.

Chen Yun smiled slightly, "Why did that girl Mei live in Yan's family back then?"

"Second Master, don't you already have the answer?" Xing Jian said expressionlessly.

Ever since Mei Weiyue came to ask Chen Yunjue to reverse the case for the Mei family, Chen Yunjuan should have known what was going on.

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "So, three or forty years ago, that girl Mei was already the queen of the guilty minister."

It's no wonder that Taifu Yan and his wife are determined not to let their youngest son marry Miss Mei. Taifu Yan is one person under ten thousand, with such a disparity in family status, even if it is a niece, it is impossible for his son to marry her. wife. m.bīQikμ.ИěT.

"What did the Mei family do in the past? Why were they convicted?"

Xing Jiandao, "The Mei family lived in Fujian for a long time, managing and supervising the building of warships. Back then, the Yushi impeached the Mei family for colluding with foreign thieves, and all the families were imprisoned."

Chen Yun's expression froze upon hearing the words, "Warship?"

He remembered that not long ago, he had discussed with his elder brother about the warship.

When the first emperor was alive, sea trade was banned because of the war in Nanyang.The manufacturing technology of these warships and ferries also began to stagnate.At present, only the government of Guangzhou is allowed to connect to the sea, and the sea is banned in other areas.

Chen Yunjue has always been interested in overseas things, which his elder brother knows.

He seemed to understand why his elder brother wanted the Mei family to be loyal to him.

"This Mei family knows a lot about shipbuilding?" Chen Yun asked thoughtfully.

Xing Jian said, "Master said, no one knows more about shipbuilding than the Mei family."

"But isn't his family imprisoned? After so many years, how much do you know?" Chen Yun borrowed.

Xing Jian said, "The Mei family was imprisoned, but they were just ransacked and exiled, and their family members are still there."

It's just that they are charged with crimes, and they can no longer enter official positions.

If you want to become an official, you have to reverse the case.

Chen Yun pondered and said, "Since their family has this ability, why don't they serve the prince?"

"The imperial court banned the sea, and didn't attach much importance to warships." Xing Jian said.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment, "Is the Mei family looking for elder brother?"

"Yes."

"Why did they go to my elder brother?" It wasn't that Chen Yun looked down on his elder brother, but for no reason. How could the Mei family find his elder brother?

"The master's name is well known to the world, and he is the emperor's favorite minister. Maybe the Mei family wants to take a gamble."

Oh, because his big brother is unselfish?

Chen Yun thought for a while with his chin resting on his chin. Fujian was where the home of selling cigarettes was, and the Mei family's ancestral home was in Fujian.

Maybe the Mei family was eyeing his elder brother at that time, right?

"Who is the censor who impeached the Mei family for colluding with foreign thieves?"

What happened three or forty years ago, if the censor was not very old, he must still be alive.

"The one who impeached the Mei family back then was the current grandfather of the Wu family, Wu Tianyou."

Wu Guifei's father, Wu Tianyou?

"Hey, old acquaintance." Wu Tianyou's grandson, Wu Zhixue, had troubled Chen Yun a lot back then, but now he has reached the top and is still struggling to study in Baihe Academy.

Chen Yun took a sip of tea, "If I remember correctly, the old man of the Wu family just passed his 61th birthday two years ago, and this year he just turned 40. Three or forty years ago, he was only in his early twenties, right?"

With such a great ability, join the Mei family?

"Wu Tianyou was a student of Mr. Mei back then." Xing Jian said.

Chen Yun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then said sarcastically, "I've been playing for a long time, it's a drama of 'righteousness destroys relatives'."

The Mei family has also suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, accepting such a white-eyed wolf as a student.

"At that time, Wu Tianyou had just passed the Jinshi examination for two years. He left Mr. Mei's relationship and approached the Metropolitan Procuratorate. No one knew why Wu Tianyou wanted to backstab the Mei family. The inside story here is probably only Wu Tianyou himself. It's clear." Xing Jian said.

Chen Yun sneered, "The Wu family has been prosperous in the past few years, and the daughter even entered the palace as a noble concubine. It's a good thing."

No wonder the Mei family wanted to come to reverse the case. Who knows how many years Wu Tianyou can live?If he died, there would be no pleasure in revenge.

"These are the elder brothers who found out and asked you to tell me?" Chen Yun borrowed.

Xing Jian said, "Yes."

Chen Yun pondered for a moment, "Place the people in the Mei family well, and I'll talk about it when I go back to Beijing and ask my elder brother."

"Yes."

After Xingjian left, Chen Yun looked at Daiyu, "Yu'er has heard so much, what do you think?"

"I don't know anything about shipbuilding, but...Brother Chen can reverse the case for them by himself, why did he have to give you someone?" Daiyu didn't understand.

Chen Yun lent Daiyu to pour tea, and sighed, "After the cigarette sales were over, I talked with my elder brother about the sea ban."

"Sea ban?"

Chen Yun borrowed, "At that time, I told my eldest brother that the long-term sea ban will not benefit the development of the court."

The sea ban is mainly to combat piracy and smuggling, maintain feudal rule, and defend against foreign enemies.

Judging from the current rule, it cannot be said that this decision is wrong, but knowing the tragedy of the future, this policy is wrong.

Chen Yunxian has always accepted some of Chen Yunjuan's ideas well and is willing to think about them, affirming the good ones and denying the bad ones.

Daiyu is good at poetry, but she doesn't understand these political views.

However, she understood Chen Yunjue's meaning, "So, it was Brother Yunjue who was interested in sea-going ships, so Big Brother Chen sent people from the Mei family over to you?"

"You can also say that." Chen Yun also knew that there were too many things to say, and Daiyu didn't understand, so he didn't go into details.

If it's just because he likes sea boats, his eldest brother can take over the Mei family and get a sea boat for him.

Instead of giving the Mei family to him.

If the Mei family's case is reversed, based on the Mei family's understanding of shipbuilding, and through his elder brother's relationship, it will not be a problem to arrange to supervise the construction of sea ships and warships.

If Chen Yun's guess is correct, his elder brother is paving the way for his official career.

But there is no need to tell Daiyu about this guess.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back to rest." Chen Yun said with a smile.

After sending Daiyu back to Lanting Pavilion, after Chen Yun borrowed it back, he wrote a letter and asked Qing Mo to send it to the capital and hand it over to his elder brother.

The next day, Qing Mo returned to Meiyuan early and gave Chen Yunxian's reply letter to Chen Yunzhuan.

Chen Yun read the letter, smiled slightly, and then burned the letter.

After breakfast, Chen Yun rinsed his mouth and said, "Yu'er, we probably have to return to Beijing early."

"Going back to Beijing early?" Daiyu was thoughtful, "Because of the Mei family's business?"

"No, this year the emperor is going to the Royal Hunting Garden to hold the autumn festival. The emperor ordered me to accompany him." Chen Yun borrowed.

Daiyu was surprised, "Is there an order for you alone?"

The emperor has guards to follow him, so there is no need to specially call anyone to follow him.That being the case, it is the only grace to decree Chen Yun to borrow it and call him to go hunting with him.

Chen Yun smiled, "This is an opportunity."

The opportunity his elder brother gave him.

If you want to subdue the Mei family, you have to meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty to retry the old case.

"Brother Chen really bothered."

First sent to the Meiyuan, and then the Mei family asked for help, and knew in advance that this was arranged by Chen Yunxian. Chen Yunxian asked Chen Yun to subdue the Mei family, but Chen Yun could not see the emperor. How could he ask the emperor to retry the old case?Then came the imperial decree, calling Chen Yun to hunt with him.

Where is such a coincidence?

Obviously, it was all arranged by Chen Yunxian, and the purpose was also very clear, to ask Chen Yun to come forward and reverse the case for the Mei family.

No matter how much power Chen Yun borrowed in this, on the surface Chen Yun borrowed is the benefactor of the Mei family.

"When the autumn is over and after returning to Beijing, the flowers in this plum garden will probably also bloom, and I will bring you to enjoy the flowers at that time." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Daiyu responded with a smile, "Then I will wait."

The next day, Chen Yun brought Daiyu and his brother back to Beijing, and after entering the city, he sent them back to the Lin family.

After seeing my aunt, I said goodbye and went home.

Chen Yunjue's yard was still being rebuilt, so Chen Yunjue went to his younger brother's yard.

In the evening, Chen Yunxian went back to the mansion, and when he heard that Chen Yun had borrowed it, he asked Ximo to invite him.

Chen Yun was reading a book, and Xi Mo came to invite him to come over.

Chen Yun put down his book and went to the elder brother's yard.

"Big brother."

Chen Yunxian asked the maid to serve tea, "Do you still like Meiyuan?"

"This plum garden is haunted by ghosts." Chen Yun curled his lips and said.

Chen Yunxian smiled when he heard the words, "You don't believe this."

"Brother, how true is what that Wanchun nanny said? A prince, who has never seen such a beautiful girl, will snatch it back when he sees a beautiful girl?

Why can't I believe it?Also, King Gongning ordered someone to shoot and kill Yan Taifu's son, is this crazy?It's outrageous to offend the late Emperor's favorite Taifu just because of a woman. "Chen Yun borrowed.

Chen Yunxian smiled, "Why don't you ask Wanchun?"

"Hey, it seems that this Wanchun mother was arranged by you. Maybe someone survived back then, but it is absolutely impossible to be this Wanchun mother."

Chen Yunxian smiled when he heard the words, "Why?"

"Why else? Mr. Yan wanted to take Miss Mei to escape. He must have gone to find someone at night, and they all fell asleep at night. Even if one or two people saw them, they would be silenced. Even if someone survived, how could they stay in Mei?" Garden?" Chen Yun laughed.

Chen Yunxian pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's find a storyteller to make up a story next time."

"Brother..." Chen Yun rubbed his forehead, "Aren't you going to explain to me?"

"Didn't you already understand my intention? What else do I need to explain?" Chen Yunxian smiled.

Chen Yun choked, "You asked me to subdue the Mei family, but you did everything. I'm just making a name. Unless the Mei family are all fools, everyone will know that you are their benefactor."
