A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Imperial City, Daming Palace, Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, the family members of the Yangzhou family are here. They seem to want to visit the old lady of the Jia family."

A somewhat feminine voice sounded in the palace, and the person who spoke was none other than Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace.

After hearing this, Emperor Qian Qing, who was correcting the memorial, paused with his red pen, nodded, and said:

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. This is normal. I guess the famous young tiger from Yangzhou is also here. It's better to meet him than to be famous.

It's just that Lin Ruhai is still dealing with salt tax matters in Yangzhou, and rumors slandering him have begun to spread in the city, these indifferent bastards. "

Speaking of someone secretly slandering Lin Ruhai, Emperor Qian Qing frowned slightly and his voice revealed a biting chill.

Hearing the killing intent in Emperor Qian Qing's words, Dai Quan trembled slightly, then came back to his senses, bowed and said:

"Exactly, rumors are spreading in Shenjing now that Daolin Ruhai is working with the Yangzhou party to suppress dissidents, eliminate dissidents, and receive high profits. One person can make a lot of money, and he can be said to be as rich as the enemy.

In particular, several well-known salt merchants in Yangzhou were raided and wiped out one after another. These were the families that the Emperor had visited back then, but now Lin Ruhai and his son Lin Yao used cruel methods to confiscate their homes and wipe out their families. Everyone was sad at the time. "

Emperor Qian Qing's face was gloomy. These words seemed to be talking about Lin Ruhai, but in fact they were aimed at himself. Anyone who knew how to collect the money would know that it was put into his own treasury.

These people are pretending to be confused. Xiangzhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong, and even...

Emperor Qian Qing thought of a certain situation, and a hint of darkness flashed in the depths of his eyes. Seeing Dai Quan's hesitant look, he asked, "Is there anything else you haven't reported?"

"Your Majesty, the secret reports from the Xiuyi Guards and the CRRC Mansion show that Lin Ruhai did not make any money from the salt business during this period, but..."

Having said this, Dai Quan cautiously raised his head and glanced at Emperor Qian Qing. What he said next might involve some taboos.

As a domestic slave, Dai Quan naturally did not dare to make any claims without authorization.

Hearing this, Emperor Qian Qing looked thoughtful and said calmly: "Say, I won't blame you."

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "The secret message sent from Jiangnan contains a strange news. It is said that Mr. Lin has powerful ships and elite manpower in Yangzhou Prefecture, as well as trading companies that travel to Jiangnan.

Therefore, it is natural that the wealth of the registered salt merchants has not been touched at all, but this is not because they are loyal, but because they have intentions. Some people even exaggerate, saying that they are preparing for some disobedient things in the future. . "

Having said this, Dai Quan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, clenched his palms in his sleeves slightly, and glanced cautiously at Emperor Qian Qing.

A local minister has a huge amount of property, an elite manpower, and a fleet that attracts the attention of local nobles. Even if you say that you have no ulterior motives, others will never believe it.

But what surprised Dai Quan was that Emperor Qian Qing had no expression on his face and stared at him calmly. This gaze made the former couldn't help but lower his head again.

Therefore, Dai Quan did not notice the fleeting black and red shadow in Emperor Qian Qing's eyes, which seemed to be the shadow of a ghost face and fangs.

"Many people now think that Lin Ruhai's wealth means that he has some touching ideas?"

Emperor Qian Qing's tone was calm, which gave Dai Quan the feeling of a bottomless cold pool.

“Can these now be of unknown origin?”

Dai Quan shuddered again and said in a low voice: "Back to my master, the Lin family has four generations of marquises, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. When Master Lin's generation had no children, he adopted his son directly.

This child adopted by Mr. Lin is a stroke of genius, with astonishing talent. With Lin Jia’s dowry of 300,000 taels back then, and the ancestral property that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Lin family, the combined total of the two actually makes the Lin family It is also a wealthy family.

His son also has the magic touch to turn stone into gold, so now Mr. Lin's net worth is even higher than that of all your salt merchants. This is the result of the analysis of secret reports. It's just that their family does not pursue luxury, which is why they are not eye-catching. "

After hearing this, Emperor Qian Qing followed Dai Quan's words and said: "In other words, all this is money managed by Lin Ruhai himself, and it is definitely not something that can be obtained by reaching out.

Hearing this, Dai Quan was a little surprised. Why did the topic come here? Shouldn't it be about worrying about why a minister has such a powerful local armed force?

However, Dai Quan did not dare to ask these words that provoked Emperor Qianqing to rebel, and said quickly: "When we were dealing with the salt merchants, there were Xiu Yiwei and Zhongche Mansion watching. If they interfered, how could they hide it from you, Long Live Lord?" ?”

When Emperor Qian Qing heard this, he chuckled, and then his voice turned cold and he said: "That's right. My ministers are away doing business, and some monsters and monsters in the sacred capital jump out. If you have the opportunity, you must eradicate those guys."

Having said this, Emperor Qian Qing's words burst out with powerful murderous intent, which was somewhat different from the unfathomable emperor in the past.

Of course, Dai Quan believed that the emperor's heart was unpredictable, so he naturally didn't dare to guess, but why Long Live today was a bit strange.

But these are not things he can figure out. When you are a house slave, you must behave like a house slave. A strange look flashed across his face, and he lowered his head lower, but did not say much.

Because those so-called monsters may have the influence of the man deep in the palace, otherwise, some people who are unwilling to be lonely would never dare to jump out when His Majesty is in his prime.

It's just that it's hard to talk about these things. Without corresponding evidence, you shouldn't bring up such things that would embarrass Long live the Lord.

"It is a decree that the mansion vacated by the prince's palace be given to the Lin family for the family to live in. This must be the case. The rumors in the capital have been proven wrong. Can I move in immediately?"

Dai Quan was shocked when he heard this. He had just talked about such a big thing and avoided talking about it. Lin Ruhai was so favored. He hurriedly bowed and responded:

"Yes, the house near the royal palace, or even the house where your Majesty lived for a period of time when you were a child, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not dare to relax and clean it daily. Now you can move in immediately."

After that, when Emperor Qianqing stopped paying attention, he slowly backed away and exited the palace. Then he turned around and walked quickly outside the palace, preparing to deliver the order.

It is difficult to fathom the meaning of the mansion where the Holy Emperor once lived when he was a child.

It seems that no matter how many people slander the Lin family at the moment, it will not damage their status in the eyes of Long Live Lord. In the future, such a holy family will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Looking at Dai Quan leaving from a distance, Emperor Qian Qing stood back and sat quietly in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. There seemed to be a black shadow surging behind him.

……

However, it was said that at Qingshiba Pier, four treasure ships from Yangzhou were anchored here. A team of elite personnel quickly disembarked and cooperated with the team on the shore to investigate all dangers.

Originally, Jia Min planned to visit Jia Mansion temporarily, and then go to the Lin family's mansion in Beijing. Unexpectedly, an angel came to deliver the decree and granted him a mansion next to the palace.

Anyone who knows something about the past of the current Saint will understand that this mansion contains meaning that cannot be explained in just a few words.

Although Jia Min misses her mother whom she has not seen for more than ten years, now that Lin Ruhai is not in Shenjing, she belongs to the Lin family first, and then to the Jia family.

After discussing with Lin Yao and Daiyu, they simply asked the elite experts at the scene to send all the luggage to the mansion where they were given. Jia Lian and Lin Zhixiao, who came to greet them from Rong Mansion, also followed to help.

After a long time, Jia Lian looked at the sky and said to Jia Min with an embarrassed look on his face: "Aunt, now we have finished dealing with the new house. The old lady has been waiting at home for a long time and really wants to see you and her granddaughter. Should we go now?" Just go?"

Jia Min chuckled and said, "You must be my eldest brother's eldest son. You have grown so big. Since mother misses you, let's go back quickly."

"Ah, this..."

Jia Lian looked at Jia Min with an embarrassed look, but had no words to refute. He had also heard that this aunt's status in Jia's family was far inferior to that of his feared father.

Nodding, Jia Min turned to look at Lin Yao, but hesitated to speak.

If Lin Yao noticed something, he turned around and looked at Jia Min. He understood what Jia Min meant. After all, he was not Jia Min's biological son, so it was a bit embarrassing to return to Jia Min's house.

"Mother, the old lady is waiting for you and Daiyu at Rongguo Mansion. You can handle some things on your own before going to Rongguo Mansion." Daiyu was a little strange when she heard this and said, "Brother Lin Yao, why don't you come with us?"

Lin Yao smiled and said: "You are different from me. My sister is so cute. I believe that the old lady in Rongguo Mansion will really feel sorry for you."

Jia Min heard this and patted Daiyu's little head, but the latter drooped her head and remained silent.

Seeing Daiyu in such a state, Lin Yao chuckled and said slowly: "Your brother Lin Yao just wants to go later. Based on your understanding of me, can anyone stop me from where I want to go?"

Daiyu's expression looked a little strange, and she was no longer listless as before.

With Brother Lin Yao's domineering attitude, even the grandmother whom he has yet to meet may not be able to suppress him. When the time comes...

Thinking of this, Daiyu looked at Jia Min with some worry. It won't be difficult for her mother to do it then.

Jia Min nodded Daiyu's head, leaned close to her ear, and murmured slightly: "Your brother is teasing you. With your brother's measured style of doing things, he naturally considers all aspects, and it will definitely not be what you think." That way.”

After saying that, Jia Min glanced at Lin Yao helplessly. This child liked to tease Daiyu.

Hearing Jia Min whispering in her ear, a blush appeared on Daiyu's face. She was about to call back, but she saw a bunch of outsiders listening in the corner. If she made any noise, it would be bad to be looked at. , had no choice but to look at Lin Yao unwillingly.

"Okay, leave the rest to me, you guys take the first step."

Lin Yao smiled softly and sent Jia Min and Daiyu into the carriage, but there was no smile in his eyes.

While getting off the carriage, Nan Nan said: "I think the Jia Mansion tonight may be more lively than usual."

"Child, come early after you're done."

Jia Min's soft voice came from the carriage, and at the same time Daiyu's hum of unknown emotion came from the carriage.

After Lin Yao got out of the car, he waved to the people hidden around him to follow, and then he was led by the Lin family's nanny, and Jia Lian, Lin Zhixiao and others protected the carriage back to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Yao watched the group of people leave, but not long before they left, he saw two teams passing by, playing pipes and playing sad music, crying and shouting.

Along the way, it attracted the attention of countless people.

These sounds, coupled with the high banner, made Lin Yao's eyes show an interesting look, he was from Ningguo Mansion.

Not surprisingly, the person who made him sick has been dealt with by his own people.

Thinking of the Jia family's second residence, Rong Ning, Lin Yao shook his head. Perhaps if it becomes more and more intense, it will inevitably lead to the final madness.

This is true for a dynasty, and so is a family.

The entire Jia family was under the influence of two generations of princes, and Dingkou multiplied in large numbers. However, the direct branch of Rongning's second family was not strong, but it cannot be said that the Jia family was not a large family.

It's just that in the huge Ningguo Mansion, from Jia Jing down, there are only one son and one daughter, Jia Zhen and Jia Xichun.

When it comes to Jia Zhen's generation, it becomes even more withered, leaving Jia Rong alone. At this time, the former likes to dig out ashes.

Of course, Jia Zhen has no chance now. After all, dead people can't play this trick.

As for Rong Guofu, where Jia Min was born, things are not going well either.

Jia Zheng is okay, he has three sons, two daughters and one grandson. Although his eldest son died and his eldest daughter was sent to the palace some time ago, he still has plenty of descendants.

However, the eldest brother, Jia She, had only one legitimate son, Jia Lian. However, Jia Lian had been married for several years and had stolen countless women, but not even a single bloodline was left behind.

As for Sister Qiao behind, there was only a sigh.

……

Xicheng of Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.

Rongqing Hall.

"Nothing has changed, it's just that things have changed."

Jia Min led Daiyu here, the former recalled the past time from time to time, and the latter echoed in ignorance.

"Oh, my aunt and the old lady's beloved are here."

Under the verandah in front of Baoxia, four or five little girls wearing red silk jackets and blue satin waistcoats saw Jia Min and Daiyu and immediately spread the news inside happily.

Three or four people scrambled to raise the gorilla felt curtain, but the older ones didn't manage to grab a little girl with her hair tied in two buns.

Daiyu was a little curious when she saw this, Jia Min smiled and said to her:

"These must be your grandmother's lower horns. She seems to be the best at making curtains."

Daiyu looked at these interesting little girls and was about to speak when she saw a young man in brocade clothes coming out of the hall, with a face like a full moon and a smile on his face. He looked at Jia Min and asked uncertainly: "Auntie?!"

Jia Min also looked happy and responded: "Are you the second brother's child? You are already so old."

The person who came was naturally Baoyu. He first looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Jia Min with joy. After taking a closer look, he saw Daiyu next to Jia Min. He became even more excited and asked repeatedly: "This sister is..."

Jia Min smiled softly and said, "Who else could you kid talk about?"

Baoyu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, it looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere..."

Daiyu didn't know about this classic scene. If Lin Yao were here, he would definitely have a sense of immediacy.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Who do I look like?"

"Who?"

Baoyu looked at her carefully, then at Jia Min, nodded seriously and said:

"You look a bit like my eldest aunt! Could it be that this is my cousin? My uncle's surname is Lin. God, all the auras in the world have gathered in the Lin family. Otherwise, why would we have such a beautiful sister?"

When Jia Min and Daiyu heard this, they both chuckled.

It's just that Jia Min thinks the second brother's child is interesting, and Daiyu Huizhilanxin, coupled with some knowledge Lin Yao has taught her over the years, immediately sees that Baoyu is a flashy young man with a colorful mouth.

But after all, they are blood cousins, and Daiyu does not use sarcastic remarks to protect herself like she did in the original time and space. Now she has greater confidence.

"Mother, let's go see the grandmother first and then talk about it."

"it is good!"

Baoyu was naturally so happy and said with a smile: "Auntie and this sister, come on, come on, we are all impatient."
