The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

In fact, the queen was completely overwhelmed. The emperor was not even polite, and directly issued an imperial decree: "Follow the imperial father's oral order, seize the loyalty and obedience of the prince, and respond to the family members, and the clan's government will review them one by one."

Even Duan Wang was taken aback.

Fortunately, he had experienced strong winds and waves after all, so he bowed his head and went down.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was a bit stagnant, but the emperor ignored it, and directly called out: "King Qin, how is the check?" Shui Fu was no less energetic than Lin Mo, and had already prepared a bill. , Describe one by one, what he said is justified and well-founded, many people were killed in one go, and the in-laws of many people in the imperial study were mentioned, and everyone didn't know what to do.

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​The emperor also frowned. Of course, he could have expected that the account books over the years were tricky, but he didn't expect so much. Two, go down layer by layer, and only 100 taels are in the hands of ordinary people?But the people below pay ten taels of tax, and only one-tenth of them can enter his treasury!

The so-called fish and meat people, as expected.

It's just that even if he is angry, he also understands that this matter cannot be rushed and must be done step by step, otherwise, even if the water floats and offends too many people, he will lose his footing for a while and get twice the result with half the effort.However, it was not easy to get such an account book in just a few days, even with Lin Mo's previous foundation.So he waved his hand: "It's all gone, King Qin stays."

Shui Fu smiled, but didn't ask for work: "Jing Yuanhou recommended a few talents to my son."

After hearing what he said, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "He is diligent in encouraging you to use my servants. Will these people go around talking about it?" Although the matter of checking the accounts was a big deal, he still hoped that the small details inside would not be disturbed. You know, save it until the last hit kills.

"You don't need to be suspicious. These scholars are all close friends of the Marquis Jing Yuan for many years, and their character and ability are trustworthy." Shui Fu said, "I also ask Father to love his son more and give them a leave of absence. Is the household department tired for two days?"

The emperor looked at the account book he presented, and nodded in response: "For so many years, the Ministry of Household Affairs has not been able to produce a bachelor who is comparable to the academician of the Imperial Academy... This Liu Xiangru is an all-rounder. I thought he was good at opening his mouth. Unexpectedly, he is still proficient in everything. No wonder people say Linhou Liulang. Is it okay for him to be healthy?"

"His body is very important, but he doesn't look at it. Didn't Lin Xi, Lin Hou's uncle, come to the capital a few days ago and offered to show him to him? It's good for him, saying that his illness is just like this, and he doesn't want to be named as a genius doctor in the forest. No matter. He wants to live anyway, Lord Yan can’t let him die. Even Taiyin is mad at him.” Shui Fu said again, “It’s not that no one in the household department can do these accounts, but the emperor also I know, now that I have been an official in Beijing for a few years, there are mother-in-law’s family, mentor’s family, fellow countrymen’s family... how many intertwine and complicated, isn’t Cao Shangshu better at reading books than we are? I haven’t seen anything for so many years. It wasn't intentional, I'm afraid I never thought about it."

The emperor said: "Don't give eye drops to people in front of me."

Shui Fu smiled, but didn't speak.

The emperor said: "How is Taiyin injured now?"

"The internal injury is well taken care of, and the leg injury is still on the mend. Lin Xi said that there shouldn't be any sequelae. He just needs to pay attention to the wind and rain in the future. He is still young and his body is hard. He should be fine if he takes care of it." Shui Fu Naturally, he understood what his father wanted to know, "Yesterday, Mrs. Lu went to see Jingning's cousin at his house, but everything is fine. She said she looks pregnant and can eat."

The emperor smiled: "Where is Princess Qin in the palace?"

"I'm talking with you in the mother's harem." Shui Fu replied with a smile.

Concubine Qin Princess Lu was born in the general family, but she looks gentle and pleasant, and she smiled kindly. She sat next to the nobleman, put on a handkerchief and peeled the fruit with a smile, while explaining Jingxian's situation again. Say it again.The queen was also smiling, touched the little face of the nobleman, and asked: "Now you go to the Jingyuanhou's mansion until Shiqin, and you don't come to see the queen anymore."

"The queen mother's words are right, but it will break the minister's daughter-in-law."

The queen smiled: "Why didn't Ye Lin and Ye Dong come?"

"Ye Lin has started enlightenment, and now he is studying with the Taifu. Ye Dong can't leave his brother, crying and clamoring to be together, and they are messing around there together."

The queen also became happy: "It's just two children, after all, it's a bit lonely." She considered her tone, "What does your father mean, taking advantage of next year's general election, to add two more people to your family, what do you think?"

Qin Wang and Qin Wangfei have a very close relationship, there are only two side concubines in the house, so there is no trouble, compared to the jokes of the other princes fighting for favor, it is very quiet, but the heirs are not rich.As a mother, although she cares about the peace of her son's residence, she hopes that their offspring will be prosperous, and it would not be bad to add a few side concubines to the King of Qin.It's just that Princess Lu will be unhappy.

Who knew that Concubine Lu just smiled: "Then there will be Queen Lao, and I will choose two gentle and virtuous ones for the prince, ones with outstanding looks, and ones with interesting words."

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I've heard of the virtuous name of Concubine Qin a long time ago, but looking at it now, it's really not easy." Secretly brought down many people in the palace, and now the mansion of Prince Zhao is restless, and seven or eight concubines have died in a row, and everyone knows that it is not peaceful.

Princess Lu said nothing.

Of course she is jealous, as long as she is a woman, she is jealous.It's just that she also understands that the queen is now taking a concubine for King Qin, can she stop her?Such an appearance is a sign that the queen attaches great importance to King Qin, and it is beneficial and harmless to King Qin.Moreover, the queen will never harm her own son, and the status of side concubine is not bad, she should be able to attract good people to help King Qin win over people.

As for her status in the palace - it's not a big deal for the two sons to be next to each other, playing in harmony with King Qin.

People are like this, there are gains and losses, and Princess Lu came from a wealthy family, so she understands the truth.

"Princess Beijing's day is coming soon." The queen knew everything in detail, "Look at the concubine, she has only been talking with me for a long time, and she is in a hurry to go back."

Concubine Beijing smiled and said, "Rong'er is really disappointing. I've been looking forward to this grandson for so many years. My daughter-in-law is not too young, so I'm really worried. After all, I can have such a blessing now. I would like to thank my mother for bestowing a marriage on my boy."

The Queen said: "This Palace is just boasting once. After so many years, I have never had any mistakes as a matchmaker."

Concubine Lu flattered: "The queen mother has seen many people, who can hide from your eyes, what kind of girl, you train and train, it is good fortune to give to everyone."

The queen said: "Does anyone have honey in his mouth today? Do you want to ask me?"

Concubine Lu said: "Didn't I want to ask you to pick someone who is smart and smart for our lord?"

All the wives laughed together.

The queen nodded her head, smiled for a while, and then said: "You girl, your mouth is becoming more and more clever. I will ask Fu Zhi to come and see you some other day. When it comes to training girls, I have a regret. In this life, I have never Give birth to a daughter. Tell the nobleman that she is my sister, and I will raise her as my daughter, which is fine, but now I think about it, it would be great if there was a princess."

A few wives look at me and look at you, I don't know what they are thinking.

But Concubine Shu was moved, and said with a smile: "Back then, the Empress Dowager had no daughter at her knees. Didn't she adopt and marry Princess Hui Chenghuan? How about the Empress also adopt a princess and raise her by her side to teach herself?"

"Our royal family is short of girls. The princesses in the palace, Jingyi, Jingrou, and Jingle, are all about to get married. They are the hearts of Concubine Xian and the others. How can I snatch their daughters? As for the county masters, there are not many, but it is still difficult to deal with."

She smiled and said: "Just wait, I will bring a little girl out tomorrow to show you."

The princess born to the concubine is quite different from the princess brought up by the empress. The empress refuses to accept the concubines who are ready-made. It seems that she doesn't want to give other concubines a way out.Concubine Shu thought about it, and thought, yes, even she would not dare to raise a girl who is already so old. The princess has a high status, and she was brought up by the queen. What kind of family would it be to find a son-in-law? Didn't concubine Xian and the others take advantage of it for nothing?Especially Concubine Xian, who is originally one of the four concubines, if the Empress is ill, she can act as an agent for the affairs of the harem.If the daughter became a direct descendant, wouldn't his heart be with her?

It's something that makes people a lot of money, no wonder the queen doesn't do such things.
